    Just like it says on the outside: JUST GOOD FOOD. Zenaida's Cafe is very unassuming, not much too look at from the outside. I'd call it a medium size venue with a decent amount of seating. Most definitely has that mom and pop, small business vibe to it, along with that old fashioned diner feel. You don't have to worry about parking, the lot in the plaza has plenty of spaces. The staff is very friendly and hospitable. #JUSTGOODFOOD: ~ HOUSE SPECIALTIES: JERK CHICKEN HASH - 3.5/5 Thought I'd give this a try. To me it was more like 3 *** rounded up to 3.5 **** While the dish was tasty, and prepared just like I ordered. There was hardly any "Jerk Chicken" just a few pieces of shredded chicken underneath. If this had more "Jerk Chicken" it would be a 4.5 ***** in my book. ~ Complimentary Chocolate Chip Cookie - 5/5 This was RIDICULOUS! They present you with a complimentary Chocolate Chip Cookie for dessert when you are done. The Cookie has a good amount of Chocolate Chips and had a thin layer of something on top, possibly condensed Milk. AMAZING! Soft, warm, gooey, chewy... basically a perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie. I would buy this by the dozen! I'd come back...

    Watermelon feta salad
    Rachel R.

    Really enjoyed my eggs Benedict I didn't get a picture. Cinnamon roll is massive , the fruit is fresh, and the whipped cream is something special. The cookies are good to take home. The watermelon salad was presented beautifully and all the flavors balanced well. Food comes out quick and our server was very hospitable and very kind. Clean restaurant with space and a calm atmosphere.

    Daily Made Cinnamon Roll All Day Breakfast

    Food was delicious, cinnamon roll is a must!!! Service was awesome gentleman who greeted us and served us was friendly and attentive we will definitely be back

    Thanksgiving Benedict.   Yum.  Sliced turkey, cranberry hollandaise, poached egg, and stuffing.
    Gretchen B.

    It's that time of year for the Thanksgiving Benedict. After a FB post about it being available, I called to order out. Apparently the woman that answered the phone didn't realize that it was on the menu board, so I didn't get any. Zenaidas reached out today to explain the situation and offered a free Benedict. Above and beyond what I expected!! My husband went to pick up and ordered an extra for later today. They always have great food and service and the Thanksgiving Benedict when available in Nov is a must try!! Thanks Zenaida for reaching out

    I came here on Sunday because of all the great reviews. The food was okay--I had the Crab Benedict with a side of pancakes.. However, be prepared!I waited over 45 minutes, and the restaurant wasn't even full. If you don't have patience, this might not be the place for you!

    Complimentary chocolate chip cookies

    2nd time coming here and it was just amazing as the first! All of the food is delicious. The cinnamon roll is a must!! Loved the potatoes too in addition to everything else. Service is very friendly. Very casual space with plenty of parking in the shopping center.

    Steak and eggs
    Ryan S.

    I got the steak and eggs (4/5), which was good! I opted for home fries (4.5/5) instead of hash browns, which were excellent and crunchy. The service was great (5/5)! It was fast, and the waiter was really nice! They also give you free chocolate chip cookies too! The ambiance is also unique; it has a jazz theme (4.5/5).

    French toast 7/10

    Had to try this place because of the 5 star rating. It did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and always checked on us. Great breakfast selection. The food was delicious. We had the crab Benedict, breakfast stack, sterling breakfast and French toast. The house potatoes were tasty and crunchy. Coffee was good too. Price point is just right. They gave chocolate chip cookies at the end of our meal on the house. It was yummy!! It was kinda hard to find because of the small sign on the building. Inside was cozy, like you're eating at someone's house. Will be trying the biscuits and gravy and chicken and waffle next time.

    Crab Cake Benedict and a Create Your Own Omelet
    Amina's J.

    This popped up as a suggested place, and I'm glad we took you up on the suggestion Yelp! Super cute restaurant with very chill vibes. Our waitress was actually excited about the menu, and had no problem going through each item on the menu that she would recommend. She ran through the majority of the menu and catered her responses to our savory loving palettes. I opted for the Crab Benedict, which was DELICIOUS! Their Hollandaise sauce was light but flavorful. Our waitress mentioned that the crab cakes were made without lots of filler, and she was right. Chalk full of crab with just enough filler to hold it together. For this plate alone, I would return. After our meal, they presented the table with complimentary chocolate chip cookies that were delicious. All around win for this morning's breakfast.

    Breakfast Tacos
    Courtney L.

    This was a good find! We just happened upon it. The service was very nice. The space was warm and inviting. The food was over the top amazing. The breakfast tacos were messy and spicy just how I like them. The steak and eggs were very good. Good flavor. Every meal comes with complimentary cookies. They are delicious. Recommend stopping in this local spot for some good eats.

    Breakfast tacos and crispy home fries
    Marlee B.

    Back again, 3rd week in a row. Love the breakfast tacos! The crispy tortilla was special.

    Cookies
    Ernest M.

    Ambiance: This feel like a cool jazz slash mom and pop shop feel. When I saw the chef proudly representing his food, I'm like this looks legit with his chef uniform. Service: host guided us to a table and we sat a booth, semi slow at a friday afternoon. Food: Me and my friend want one dish savory and one dish sweet. The baked french toast caught our attention and the chicken fried steak. Unfortunately they were out of it, so we just got the steak and eggs with hash browns. I asked for the hash browns well done when i usually get them with scrambled eggs. The steak and eggs was great! i usually don't get those because the steak is usually under seasoned or too tough. This was perfect! Just the right amount of seasoning and the eggs and hash browns were cooked to perfection! The better of the two to me was the baked french toast. I'm not going to lie, when I see whip cream on any french toast I always assume it's going to be straight out of can. Because I saw high praise from this place we decieded to order it because it looked good on yelp. We rolled and eight for the point and it was fantastic! Not going to lie, that french toast gave me peace that day. the whip cream was made with love and attention to detail. Fresh fruits were fantastic to the meal. The bread was just SCRUMPTIOUS. I might mess around and come back and order the two exact plates.

    Fried Chicken and Waffle
    B G.

    This is the second time that we have been here and the food is consistently amazing. I had the chicken and waffles, my husband chicken fried steak and we shared the French toast. The food is made with such care and fresh ingredients we are adding this to our permanent breakfast rotation. Oh and those cookies

    How much for a dozen cookies?

    Hi! Thanks for your question! You can take home one dozen of our homemade chocolate chip cookies for $18.50 (or six for $9.50)

    We are going to LV next weekend. We don't want to miss the opportunity to give your place a try. Do we need a reservation? Is it best to just show up before you open?

    No reservations needed unless you have quite a few people in your party.

    Hi, Christopher! Not yet, but we would be happy to welcome you to Zenaida's here in Las Vegas! :-)

Beef carpaccio was a modernized twist to the Vietnamese dish. Recommended. Oxtail hummus was a heartier dish and good contrast to the lighter carpaccio starter. Oxtail was decently tender, braised in a savory sauce. I liked the combination with the hummus to balance. Roasted cabbage - I always get roasted cabbage and this one didn't disappoint. Whole Dorade - flavorful, gental citrus sauce that complemented the white fish. It was deboned and filleted, making it easy to eat. Lamb was excellently prepared as well. Hard to pick between this and the Dorade, so go with what you're craving or just get both - you won't regret it. Honey cheese plate with triple cream Brie was worth it. The grilled milk bread goes very well with the spread. Recommended. Baked Alaska - fun dessert flambéed in rum table side. It was way too sweet for my taste.

I certainly understand the Michelin recommendation. The service was outstanding, we asked for an off menu cocktail and a split dish (half and half oysters) which they accommodated. They kept up with refilling our waters. Some standout dishes for me were the dry aged bluefin tuna, the oysters, the "dan-dan" rabbit paccheri, and the Spanish octopus. I did enjoy our first visit but this was much more memorable. Everything we tried was beautifully plated, all of the ingredients served a purpose and blended beautifully together. The ambiance with the small table lamps was enough to see the beautiful dishes but keep the mood relaxed and intimate. The cost was much more reasonable compared to other higher end restaurants of similar or lesser quality in vegas. I highly recommend

The ambiance at night is nice and dimly lit. Great menu and nicely priced. There's currently a 3 course special that comes with a salad, salmon, tiramisu, and bottomless wine for $60! It's definitely worth it. The goat cheese spread tasted great with the salad. The salad also comes as a big portion. The salmon was huge and perfectly moist. I got the foie gras on French toast. It had the perfect amount of salty and tart sweet flavor with the blackberry-cherry sauce. It comes as an appetizer, but because it's so good, I don't recommend sharing since the portion is so small. I got the spicy seafood pasta, and it was amazing! It had the perfect amount of spice and it comes with a hefty amount of seafood along with a whole big lobster tail! The shrimps that it came with were also huge and there were plenty of calamari and octopus with the pasta. This dish was such a great deal with the portion and the amount of seafood it came with. My only complaint is that they can lighten the amount of fresh basil they put in. I highly recommend! Last, we got the creme brulee, which comes with orange biscotti. It's a shareable portion, and perfectly sweet. Our server Zoe was also amazing! She was super friendly and answered all the questions we had with the menu. Great place for a low key date at Desert Shores and some awesome food!
