My boyfriend had his company holiday party at AleSmith and we were allowed to select any meal we wanted from the food vendors. Zoe's place caught my eye because I love Italian food and wanted protein. I got the chicken panini and my boyfriend got the pepperoni flatbread. Both are really good. The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy and the bread was soft but had a nice crisp to it. Paired with the drinks it's the perfect choice when you're here at alesmith.

Spaghetti & Meatballs
Laura M.

Had the pleasure of trying this awesome fusion food truck at Ale Smith Brewery for an event. I was like whattt? Italian && Mexican?! Sounds promising. The pastas on the menu were only noodles. Spaghetti or fettuccine. I would've like to have seen some bow tie/elbow since it's on the logo board. Lol. So no bow tie, I opted for a spaghetti plate. &a sampler platter from the Mexican side. The portions are shareable, there were 4 huge meatballs and 2 large bread slices. I split this plate between 3kids and they still had leftover. Can't speak on how it tasted because my kids refused to share *eye-roll* that is until they couldn't finish it, but I was already full with the sampler! It came with shrimp quesadilla, chicken flautas over a bed of salad, and carne asada chips. They only gave 1verde hot sauce, &that's all you really need. I usually flood my food with red&green hot sauce, but i ate mostly everything as is without sauce because it was already so savory. That hot sauce though, it was bomb! You could taste the freshness it, like it was made the same day. It was more on the mild side though. The only thing I'd recommend is grilling the shrimp instead of boiling it, cause it just made it look and taste a bit bland. Especially with white queso, it was a lot underwhelming. But everything else was good. They were super busy but super quick at the same time! Try the sampler! I promise you, you'd like the diversity without fully committing to just 1item.

We always grab food here when we are at ale smith. The owner is so nice and friendly. The chicken flautas are the best thing ever. The chicken is so moist inside and just so flavorful. They also have the best salsa and the best ceviche. I always can't wait for when it gets home so they can back their ceviche.

Shrimp Baja Style Burrito Bowl was delicious

good job Zoe's place. The food was fire! great spot. Can't wait to return! Thanks. Pairs well with everything

Shrimp burrito and a funwave hazy ipa
Victor A.

Wow, i just had the best shrimp burrito of my life. And no i'm not faded, only had a 1/3 beer before eating. I was expecting something totally different. Starting with the softest flour tortilla i have ever touched...it felt like cashmere or silk. Nope, i'm not on mushrooms. It kind of tasted like if a Vietnamese spring roll and a shrimp taco had a baby. This would be it. It was so light and refreshing. Odd description for a burrito right? When they first brought it out and i saw it I was thinking maybe this wasn't a good idea. Then i took a bite and wow...then took a bite of a tortilla chip and that just took the flavor to the next level. My guess is that only a very few amount of people order this ...i rarely order shrimp burrito's because im usually disappointed because most places fill them with rice, but do yourself a favor and come and get you sum of dis. You may very well find your new favorite spot. The best part for me is that its located at one of my other favorite places...Alesmith.

Surf and Turf Burrito
Stacey M.

Usually I'm a bit weary of food trucks but Zoe's really impressed! The surf and turf burrito was definitely heavy on the turf (I think we had 3 shrimp in the full burrito) but it was delicious!! Great flavor and no chewy pieces of meat! We got the sampler as well which came with nachos, a quesadilla and flautas which was the perfect amount for our group of 4! Great quality and good service! We would definitely order from here again!

Steak fries
Claire S.

Stopped by Zoe's Place after attending an event at Alesmith Brewery. I ordered the steak fries and my boyfriend ordered the nacho fries. The portions are huge and are such a great value for the price. I was able to get two meals out of this. The nachos were crunchy and the fries were fresh. The only thing that I wasn't a fan of was the style of cheese that they used. The cheese used for the fries and nachos was a nacho-style cheese. For the nachos, I think this was a great option. However, I thought this was a bit odd that this type of cheese was used on the fries. The cheese was a little runny and caused my fries to become soggy fairly quickly usually prefer shredded cheese when ordering fries, so I was definitely a little confused when I saw the runny cheese. I feel that the fries and nachos could have had a lot more flavor and seasoning. The overall taste felt a little plain to me. The fries and nachos came with a side of sauce that had a mild flavor without any spice. I poured the sauce over the fries and nachos but it was still lacking in flavor. However, you could tell that the food was fresh so that's a plus.

Nachos
Christy C.

I truly need to expand my food horizon with Zoe's so I can speak to more than their carne Asada nachos and flautas! But alas I'm a creature of habit and every time the same order flows off my tongue. Perhaps because I know with absolute certainty the food will be so tasty! The nachos are nicely loaded...no skimping out here! The chips are perfectly crunchy and the carne is tender and nicely seasoned. I especially like their flautas...impeccably fried so that they are light and crunchy, and the cilantro cream sauce is just the perfect match. Staff is incredibly friendly and they hustle! The only potential negative I've ever seen is when they are crazy busy and have to pause orders for a bit to catch up. But I totally appreciate the fact that they are able to recognize the crunch and very kindly and honestly tell customers that they need to pause and why.

Hazy IPA.
Becky F.

The food was amazing! I had a chicken bowl, my husband had the mahi mahi taco. Excellent! Our friends had flat bread. Delicious! I tried it all. Plus delicious beer at AleSmith. Love this place! Such a cool atmosphere.

DELICIOUS! PROFESSIONAL and INCREDIBLE SERVICE! I have been a Wedding & Private Events DJ/Emcee for 25 years. Recently, I DJd and Emceed a local Grand Opening for a business. Zoe's Place Food Truck provided all of the food, for the 100s of attendees, mostly business professionals in the community! I was one of the first to grab a plate and I knew, from the first bite, that I was going to enjoy it. The food was cooked perfectly and the portions were great! They had different options, to appease different palates. They were timely and organized, especially to provide food for so many people! I saw smiles and satisfied tummys, all over the place! I highly recommend connecting with Zoe's Place for your next celebration. Cheers! Take care and God Bless!

Super tasty experience at Zoe's when visiting Alesmith to watch the Padres game. Paired great with the beer. Fresh, delicious, and filling portions. The sampler contains carne asada nachos, chicken flautas, and shrimp quesadilla. All paired perfectly with their green salsa. Friendly and prompt service. Recommended!

I don't know how this necessarily works at all locations BUT currently at Alesmith, Zoe's is a one man show, literally. The guy that took our order out in front of the truck also runs back into the truck to make the food. Crazy. This is a busy brewery and we've got ONE man running the entire show and guess what? The food is on point. Perfectly cooked, healthy portions and all done with a smile. I realize this may be an isolated incident but today, this one dude earned all five stars.

Surf and turf
Domonique W.

They came to our school event and did an amazing job! Service was excellent and fast. We appreciate all the hard work you guys put in to support our school. The food was amazing, and we couldn't ask for a better partner to the event. The owner was great and super accommodating.

This place is so cool for celebrating special occasions…read more We celebrated our anniversary and they gave us a candle with our names on it!! So sweet The interior is so cool - very gothic medieval vibes inside!! We tried a couple of items but specifically LOVED the squash blossom and the crab donut and the duck memelita! The fried chicken tacos were pretty good as well Personally I did not love the fondue - comes with corn tortillas on the side - it's not my favorite style Drinks were great - I tried the guava Paloma and liked it a lot but wish it was a bit more sweet more guava flavor

We ordered about six small plates, and they were all delicious and unique. Hard to pick a favorite. I'd say the shrimp tacos were absolutely incredible. Everything else was packed with flavor and very different than anything you will encounter at any other restaurant. It is special. My only complaint is that the place is so dark that you can barely read the menu. Also, being so dark, you can't get a good look at the food or even see color. And I would think that the food is beautifully presented. We are in our 60s. That might have something to do with our inability to see anything in that low light condition. We had to pull our phones out so that we could light up the menu and check out the food we were about to eat. It does make for a dramatic ambience. There are thousands of candles that add to the experience. But I gotta knock them a point because I couldn't see my food or read the menu without help.

The gentleman/waiter handed us the menu and went on his way. Chips and salsa along with waters for the table were brought and then that was when the service of our waiter went downhill. We ordered the ahi tuna and guacamole for our appetizers but the timing for the meal was so off. It was a long wait before the waiter even checked back on us and which is when I asked for a refill on my water and chips. We had order drinks as well. The smoked old fashion was good and the ahi tuna appetizer portion was plentiful. There were some parts of the diced ahi that was a bit chewy. The gaucamole portion was large and it wasn't until I asked another waiter did my refill of water and chips arrive. For entree, we got the scallops with corn cake, a salad and I had the poblano burger. I asked for the burger to be cooked to medium. When the entrees arrived my burger was overcooked with no pink in sight. The flavor of the burger was good but the burger was definitely dry as can be. The corn cake with scallop was interesting it was almost like the corn cake was a croquet that encased a corn salsa. Overall the food was okay but the service left a lot to be desired. The waiter and the end seemed to put up a fake act when the check came. Since we asked for the check it seemed like the waiter was on hyper speed. Overall the view is nice but the food and service did not meet the expectations.

If…read moreyou're stopping in San Diego and want to get a fix on authentic Mexican food, this is definitely the place. The salsa assortment is definitely worth ordering to go with the complimentary basket of chips and the complimentary salsa, because the three in the salsa assortment include very creative flavors, including an avocado-based salsa and a delicious pistachio one, along with one that is spicy enough to suit any palate. The house guacamole is also deliciously creamy and perfectly seasoned with lime. The real knockout dish that I had, though, was the taco with chicken pastor. I'm a big fan of pastor, but this is a very non-traditional preparation of pastor. Instead of being shredded pork mixed with a spicy sauce and hunks of pineapple, this was almost more like a Mexican cordon bleu where the chicken had been amazingly seared in some combination with cheese and pastor spices. It was absolutely delicious. The tacos might seem expensive at $10 apiece, but combined with the obviously house-made corn tortillas, I think they're a bargain. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere is very chill. There's a large outside seating area to enjoy, and San Diego is nearly always perfect weather.
