    Nachos
    Anays S.

    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.

    We ordered takeout. Most items were correct. One item wasn't. We have been there before. We will probably go back. We love the salsa bar.

    Grilled chicken salad ...u can see the beautiful vinaigrette...I get my dressing on the side...but they dress the salad perfectly...
    Diane R.

    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!!

    Awesome healthy Mexican fast food. I always get the siesta maker stake enchilada style can't go wrong!! Service is prompt and attentive and the place is always clean looking good

    Enchilada style Burrito

    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.

    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.

    Tacos

    I have eaten here many times and the food is consistently very good and fresh. It's usually sort of empty but lots of to go orders. Staff is always friendly and they play good Latin music, I eat in just to listen to the . You can customize the options. I typically get the gringo tacos with the corn tortillas. The steak and roasted pork tacos are my favorite.

    Came here for taco Tuesday, which also happened to be Cinco de Mayo and we had a really good time!…read moreIt was a party of 4, and the wait time for a table was 1 1/2 hours, which was to be expected. We stayed at the bar while we waited for our table, and it just so happened the 4 seats became available, so we ended up sitting at the bar and ordered our drinks and food right there. First off, Victoria is awesome!! Such a fun and friendly bartender, she honestly made the night so much more fun. She was on point with the drinks, and even made us a special, Mexican candy shots, they were delicious! We ordered a variety of food items, and each was as good as the next! We had the carb nacho, and they were delicious. They use real crab! I had the rice with rotisserie chicken, it was flavorful and so tender! Definitely would be getting that again if we go back. The restaurant is very big, and ample seating. Great atmosphere and friendly staff! If you like Mexican, this is a fantastic restaurant, and the portion sizes are very generous!

Spacious and clean, they had a service dog sign at the door and was immediately greeted by two host and our server Alexandra. Server was welcoming, polite and very service dog friendly to include bringing a water bowl for my dog. Dinner and drinks were on our table in less than 20 minutes despite the family crowds. Alexandra confirmed the business is military and first responder friendly and offer a discount. Plate of the day was the Chicken Mole enchilada. No fillers but rather huge chunks of juicy and flavorful chicken under fresh Mole sauce, refried beans and rice. Chips and Salsa were so good they gave us some for the road. Portions are huge. I challenge Vets and First Responders to visit and try to clear your plate. Place is a must!

    We were in the area and found Chilacos Tacos, located just 5 minutes away from Sawgrass Mills mall…read more There are many different menu options to choose from including appetizers, tacos, burritos, quesadillas and even a taco bowl. We ordered steak tacos (listed as one of the favorites), quesabirria, spicy margarita and the limonada de mango biche. The drinks were good but the food was okay. The quesabirria was better than the tacos, but the birria sauce just looked and tasted like oily water. The steak tacos are a favorite, but was unfortunately not mine. The steak was chewy and you weren't able to taste the truffle chimichurri. The tacos were also filled with oil. We gave it the benefit of the doubt and thought it may be some sort of sauce but confirmed that it was indeed oil when it started dripping out of the taco. We placed paper napkins on the tray and it absorbed the oil but there was still a lot in the tacos. I didn't notice it at first when I took the picture, but you are able to see the oil in the tacos and the tray...there was a lot! This was our first time at Chilacos and while it may have been a one-off experience, there are other taco places to visit.

    Food excellent Service, friendly, quick and knowledgeable…read moreand great recommendations Menu clear and easy to read not too many options, but also not too few. It was perfect and they were willing to do whatever needed to be done to keep the us happy. The birria was incredible I just got Chicharron my brain is still processing how good it was. Maybe a little salty, but even though they were super yummy sauces on the table I didn't need to use any of them but I got sidetracked by her need for a key. The ambience was comfortable, casual, well lit and simple. Camilo took great care of us and answered all of our questions. We left completely stuffed and very happy. If I had to Nick pick, I would say that the lack of liquor license deter us from drinking like we wanted to and I wish I didn't have to ask if the margarita was wine based because we almost ordered it and I'm glad we didn't now that I know. Otherwise, we were extremely happy and I will be back often

The margaritas have some really nice flavors to them and my favorite one to get is the prickly pear which has prickly pear puree, lime juice and el tesoro banco in it. It is on the sweet side but has a nice kick from the tequila! I like that they aren't skimpy with the amount they put in from the ones that I have had! I recently went for brunch and can say their sangria is also refreshing and you get a nice glass filled to the top! I had the cast iron skillet pancake and the flavor was amazing and the portion was huge! Their tacos are good but I will only get them during happy hour prices because they are a bit on the smaller side for the price, in my opinion. The service has always been stellar when I am here and I like that there is a nice amount of seating scattered around the place. I also like that there is an option to sit inside out outside in their patio area or at the bar in high top seats. Prices are pretty decent and their drinks and food are delicious. Being within walking distance is a blessing and a curse on Fridays for happy hour lol!

Even with a reservation, it still took about 10 minutes to seat us, while walk-ins were being told the wait was 2 hours. Once seated, things only got worse. It took our waitress around 15 minutes just to acknowledge our table. We placed our drink and food order immediately, but even waters took another 15 minutes to arrive. We ordered chips and guacamole as an appetizer and waited another 15 minutes for that. The biggest issue was the food never came. We sat there for 2 HOURS and never received our meals. The table next to us was dealing with the exact same thing and kept asking their waitress for updates. Every single time they were told "10 more minutes." At one point, we were told the kitchen had prioritized takeout orders over the customers dining inside, despite multiple tables waiting over two hours for food. Our waitress was also extremely inattentive. During the entire 2 hours we sat there, she only came back once after taking the initial order. No updates, no checking in, nothing. The most disappointing part was my daughter waiting two hours for a meal she never even received. Completely unacceptable experience, especially on a holiday where they were heavily promoting the event. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place based on the service and overall management that night.

I noticed the staff even telling the uber delivery drivers to drive safe. That's genuine! I've sat at both tables and the bar, and the bar easily wins for me. Especially on karaoke nights. it brings such a fun, lively energy to the place that makes you want to stay longer than planned. The place is also decorated super cute too. Funny enough, I actually heard about Casa Monarca directly from the owner. Total random moment, I was telling a friend how much I love tacos, and he happened to be a friend of my friend. He told me to check it out, and I'm glad I remembered and listened because he definitely didn't steer me wrong. Food never disappoints. I've tried a bunch of different things. The chorizo tacos, elote, verde enchiladas, quesadillas, and nachos. I make it a point to switch it up every visit. Everything I've had has been fire!! Next on my list is the choripollo, and I already know it's going to hit. Parking is easy too, which is always a plus. They've got a big lot so no stressing there. I did hear they're moving locations very soon (I think this week?) but it's just a few minutes away. They definitely didn't lose a customer. 10/10 recommend Casa Monarca. If you're in FTL and want some fire Mexican food with good energy staff and locals, this is the spot.

    Casa Monarca closed on Federal Highway and *poof* opened up on Prospect Road…read more Upon entering I took a quick look around: It's smaller with lots of tables and a few booths. Still an attractive interior. Two very nice servers were on the floor. We just missed lunch so the dinner menu was our only option. They brought the complementary chips and salsa (which some places now have the nerve to charge for), it's a tasty salsa. Ordered some "fresh made" guac (it better be!) which was made better with a few squeezes of lime juice. We decided to try the combo platters since the kitchen was new and it's a good test. My dining companion opted for shredded beef burrito and a ground beef chili relleno. I went with a ground beef tostada and shredded chicken enchilada. With the requisite beans and rice. Look, it was good food, not knock your socks off cuisine. I mean we consciously chose Mex-American so that's on us. The menu offers some other interesting options that I'd order next time. My only gripe is a dry enchilada. I like them swimming in red sauce and cheese which this was not. Otherwise, as I stated, nothing to complain about. The price point is decent for dinner in Fort Lauderdale. Btw I love a good tostada and mine was pretty darn yummy.
