So fresh and delicious. It's a gem, tucked away in the corner of the parking lot. The food is always so good and feels guilty free. My favorite and go to is the taco bowl, typically with chicken but I like it with steak. It's a fast, casual spot to get tasty and fresh food. Prices are reasonable and the service is efficient. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, but not fast food. read more

Zona Fresca - Mexican Near Me - Plantation, Florida

had a very disappointing experience at Zona Fresca. As soon as we walked in, there was a very unpleasant smell inside the restaurant. Despite that, we decided to order food and planned to sit outside to avoid the odor. We paid for our meal and then waited... and waited. The employee behind the counter was calling out order numbers, but ours was never called -- even though many customers who ordered after us received their food before we did. After standing there for quite a while, he finally asked if we needed help. I explained that we were still waiting for our order. He checked with the kitchen staff, and they responded dismissively in Spanish. We continued waiting while more orders were being called, but no one seemed to care about us or follow up. Eventually, I went back to the cashier and asked to cancel the order. He responded with irritation and said our order was canceled in a rude tone. We ended up leaving and going to another restaurant, where we received great service and excellent food. Overall, this was a frustrating and unpleasant experience. Poor service, lack of communication, and an unwelcoming atmosphere -- I would not recommend this place. read more

Really been loving this place especially since it has a bit of a different take on Mexican. The ingredients are fresh as hell and it's a bargain for the quality. When I saw they had pozole soup I knew this place would be good. It's always packed but the staff always cranks things out. Exceptional service. Good food and it's a fast moving place with a clean environment Enjoy the Mexican wedding cookies as the finale ! It's a must read more

Ordered Zona Fresca via Uber eats for lunch at the office. Tried the nachos and it was delicious! Chips were nice and crispy and the toppings were on point. And they were not stingy with the amount of beef they gave. The size portion was also great and I was full with just the nachos. Even had my co-workers help me with them! Need to make a stop in person to try more items on the menu. read more

It's so good here!! The grilled chicken salad is so fresh, avocado, cheese, tomato, crisp lettuce and a great vinaigrette. The salsas are the best of everywhere and anywhere, i always try all. Counter service is always good, it's a very casual neighborhood place. Wish we had one out in west Port St Lucie ...I miss it and every time I head south, we go there!! We missed Dennis this time, he's terrific!! read more

I placed an order through EzCater for a "Service Appreciation Day Luncheon" for our maintenance professionals and received feedback that the food was of poor quality, and quesadillas had no cheese, and was overall very unenjoyable. I contacted the restaurant (Plantation, FL) and was told the only resolution that could be provided was a $25 gift card/credit. We ordered a party platter for a group of 10-12 people which I advised was unacceptable. I received an attitude and was told that they needed to be able to "stay in business" and that she asked the kitchen who prepared the food and they (obviously) stated the food was properly prepared and sent out the way it usually is. 1. Why would an adult group of professionals who had been anticipating a company luncheon for WEEKS, advise food was not of quality if the food was in fact, of quality? Our staff ended up ordering their OWN food. I received attitude, and no real attempt to resolve the matter or escalate. We will NOT be ordering from them again. They attempted to find fault with EzCater for the quality of the food and reiterated that we ordered trough EzCater and not directly through the restaurant. What difference does it make if Zona Fresca of Plantation, FL PREPARED the food? I highly doubt EzCater removed cheese from the quesadillas. If this is how you "ordinarily" send food out, you might not want to stay in business anyway. The lady was so defensive, that while I ASKED what her options were to rectify the situation, she ASSUMED I requested $25 gift cards for each of our staff, rather than understanding how FOOLISH her resolution of one gift card/credit for $25 sounded, AND advising we would need to go pick it up and LATER changed it to she could deliver the card "if we provided our address". In any event, we will not be reordering. The company is very unprofessional and I hope this review is widely considered before any customers order for future. read more

Recently visited Zona Fresca in Plantation. There was no wait time and plenty of tables where you can sit and enjoy your food. I personally lived that they have a Salsa bar where you can get Pico de gallo, habanero salsa, tomatillo/avocado salsa, or salsa fresca. You can't have Mexican food without salsa! Personally tried a little of each and they were all delicious and fresh. Ordered the Machaga Burrito - and guess what. You can make any burrito enchilada style! It was soooooo good and filled me up to the point of almost exploding. It was delicious. You can't beat the price on it. Friends ordered chips and guacamole on the side and you can never go wrong with that. All in all, Zona Fresca is a nice place to stop by for lunch or a quick dinner. read more

Best place for great fresh Baja Mexican food. Everything is super fresh, and I love that they have a self-service salsa bar with a great variety. Pickled whole Jalapeños and a tomatillo salsa that I love. I also like the pickled carrots and onions to put into my street tacos. They have plenty of inside seating at hightops and standard tables and a few standard tables outside. The beverages are Pepsi and also self service foe refills. Their prices are great because most items come with fresh chips and rice and beans. They have a few family recipes they serve that you won't find in the chain taco shops that seem to claim they have authentic Mexican fare. Stop in to celebrate Cinco de mayo all year long with festive music and a large healthy menu. read more

I come here about 2-3 times a week on my lunch break for the past 6-7 years excluding Covid. I order either the zone or garden salad both with extra chicken. Usually the order is right, but once in a while the extra chicken isn't there and twice cheese was added. But overall they have a really good success rate with me. Food is always pretty good to me, hot, fresh, and the wait time is low. They give a free bag of freshly made chips, there is a salsa/sauce station that is self service, and they have a rewards program where you get 1 free meal after ordering 10. read more

Zona Fresca - Garden Chicken Salad with extra chicken and no cheese - Mexican Near Me - Plantation, Florida

I remember when the first Zona Fresca opened on Federal HWY in FLL.... There was never any parking, huge lines and they served all their dishes with charred green onions.. (I loved) While convalescing in Plantation, we took advantage of having a Zona Fresca right down the road on University. We went twice in a week. Never a crowd. Plenty of parking, heavily staffed and prices have sky rocketed. The quality is still there, salsa bar still amply stocked, but NO charred green onions. Staff was unfamiliar with the charred green onions that came with every plate - in FLL. If I recall, my fish tacos were $3.95 a piece. They tasted the same. Fresh, hot freshly cooked. I have no clue what plates with rice and beans go for - we just ordered the 3 taco plates. I would go here again when in Plantation. I hope they survive. Very few people were having lunch when we were there both times. read more

Truly delicious Mexican food! Can not complain, whether it's tacos or a burrito or even a bowl this place is good. Super fresh ingredients and the service is on point.

Went last night with my cousin for the first time we both liked it will definitely be back with friends and other family

I finally gave this spot a try for lunch. - So happy I did. ...It's very obviously a locals hot lunch spot: was packed but featured very quick service. - Soda Fountain machine. - Salsa bar. Really great, thoughtfully constructed lunch offerings. - Great music. Not too loud or quiet. ...And the young lady working the counter was very nice to me. Is a really nice spot. Will be a regular haunt. read more

www.TheRagingFork.com This place has a good sized indoor seating area including about eight outside tables which are great during the winter months. The burritos are in my top three of all mexican restaurants. They are flavorful with a tight rolled tortia. The chips and salsa are a perfect combination with the burrito. Also they have several heat levels of sauces to choose from. Large parking lot. Strong 4.5 rating here. The staff at the front counter are always friendly and i like the open kitchen layout. read more

I've been going to plantation location for years and this restaurant has always been consistently good. Sadly, this place has gone downhill. I ordered uber eats. I got a burrito bowl, nachos, and pozole soup. Nachos are severely burnt, i requested burrito bowl to be in a bed of lettuce, it was loaded up with rice instead. Ok, I guess I can try to pick out the rice from my food... Soup was completely missing.... Where is the quality control? Called the restaurant. I was told the manager, Rosa, was not in. Spoke with Gabby, she tried to be helpful to offer in-store credit. I appreciate her trying to make it right. Uber Eats offered a $7 refund, thats not even enough to cover missing soup. It is what it is. read more

This is a great Mexican restaurant to eat at if you're looking for something fresh and tasty! They have a great menu with burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and more. They're street corn didn't impress me however, it had too much lime juice that it overpowered the taste of the traditional street corn. But the chicken and meats are always good. I recommend. read more

First time trying. The staff member talking out order definitely wasn't " dennis"?? He was rude but anyway... food was really good. Mexican corn was so so good. I had the taco salad. Salsa bar was good too. Chips were a little cold and rubbery but will go back for sure. read more

This Zona Fresca location is my family's go to spot for delicious tacos and great service. The associates are ALWAYS kind, especially Dennis, the gentleman who handles orders and cashing out at the register. To whom it concerns, Dennis deserves a RAISE! He's been there for two years every time we go he is there. It's NOT EASY at all to find solid employees that stick around. So my suggestion is to give him a raise and or promotion immediately. The ambiance here is welcoming, warm and peaceful! The food is always fresh and consistent. We haven't been dissatisfied ever. Thanks again, Zona Fresca! read more

Eat here once a week because it's next door to my gym... good thing lol! The food is consistently excellent at any price, but the price point makes it a 10.

First time trying out this place and will be the last time the staff were really nice don't get me wrong , but the food just lacks a lot of flavor , funny thing is that I'm sitting right above a picture that says "OVER 100 WAYS TO SATISFY YOUR CRAVING FOR MEXICAN FOOD " I'm Not satisfied not one bit , I'm actually upset that I spent $27 for my wife and I because we wanted to give this place a try and it just lacks a ton of flavor . Worst "Mexican food I've ever had . it did not give what it was supposed to give . read more

It's the weekend and we're running around, doing errands but still want to eat fresh food. (Why eat crap just because we're on the run? What kind of 'treat' is that?) So we tuck into Zona and get grilled chicken cooked in front of us (not chopped and put into a square container on a prep line like similar businesses). We ask for extra grilled veggies - and even warmed tortilla chips on a busy weekend - and they gracefully accommodate. We make sure to get ice-cold shrimp and fish ceviche. It's lightly kissed with the brine of green olives and citrus juice so the clean taste of seafood can shine through. This is the only place I trust to get ceviche - this storefront restaurant consistently produces great tasting product because they actually care about our experience. We LOVE the marinated carrots, jalapeno and onion combo on the salsa bar. And the whole grilled hot peppers, along with the salsas - ranging hot to not. Beyond the cleanliness of the restaurant, we're so impressed by the helpful attitude of the employees and management. We feel like we're visiting friends when we go there. And the chicken garden salad with extra grilled veggies serves me for more than a meal. It's tasty, healthy and a great buy! Can't wait for our next visit.... read more

Looking for delicious and filling Mexican food that's not only decently priced, but healthy? Look no further than this hidden gem near The Fountains and L.A. Fitness! Sometimes I forget this place is here since it's location is kind of hidden. I love their food. I decided to go recently, and got the chicken quesadilla. It comes with sour cream and guacamole. They have a salsa bar for you to get extra toppings as well. I appreciate the service here. Even during lunch time when the place is swarmed with people all coming to get food at once, there's still order and great customer service. The employees are all smiling and greet you. Their way of telling you your food is ready is smart too. They give you a number on your receipt, and they call it out over a microphone as soon as it's done. This is a pretty efficient way of getting things done and not having everyone piled up at the cash register. I suggest anyone come by here if they want healthy tacos with leftovers! read more

Mediocre food with super friendly service. I was so disappointed in the flavor, or lack thereof, with the taco combo. It was b-l-a-n-d. The black beans were ok but the rice was oily and awful. My GF got a burrito but in reality it was a wrap that had maybe 3 shreds of cheese in it. The salsa bar was nice and fresh but you can't bury the lack of flavor with the salsas. The staff was super friendly and it was very clean inside. I wouldn't go back simply because the food was so boring. read more

Love me some Zona Fresca! The Bajamar burrito pictured with my review is one of my favorite things in the world. The combinations of flavors they use is pretty mind blowing, and they are all made perfect with the addition of a piece of fried fish goodness. Service is always quick and efficient here, and they definitely have a well above average salsa bar! I was so happy when I heard the reopened after the blast that closes every shop in the area! Looking forwards to another bajamar in my life soooooon! read more

10/25/2017 - So glad my sister wanted tacos! Thank you Yelp for leading us to Zona Fresca. We came in as soon as it opened at 11am. We ordered the chicken quesadilla, guacamole, and both of us ordered the Zona Street Taco Plate (pick 3 for $8.50) and the flan. We had the Chicken Breast taco, with grilled nopales cactus, avocado, cilantro, onions, and lemony dressing; Roasted Pork taco, with pickled onions and cilantro; and the Baja Fish taco, authentic Baja-style! fresh beer battered fish with shredded cabbage, pico, and our own tangy dressing. Every time we ate one, we had a favorite. They do not skimp on the toppings or the protein. All the food is fresh and made to order. The guacamole had chunks of avocado. We also went to their salsa bar and got the pico de gallo and the mild salsa. The flan was delicious too! The service was fantastic and the prices are reasonable! This was such a good experience, I told everyone at work and they ended up taking their meetings over there. I am certain I will be back!!!! read more
