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

I've been here a bazillion times and yet this is my first review?! Shame on me! I meant to take a pic of my shrimp burrito, but I was hungry and it was too delicious. Zona Fresca is one of the best burrito/ quick service Mexican spots in Broward. Zona reminds me of the great burrito places I grew up with in California. The ingredients are always fresh and well prepared. The people behind the counter are friendly and helpful. There's plenty of seating if you choose to dine in this casual space. It's consistently clean and well kept. I'm a big fan of their shrimp and fish burritos, cheese enchiladas, and quesadillas. My family loves the pork burrito. You get chips with most meals (even to go), so be sure to hit up their fresh and awesome salsa bar. There's a great children's menu as well. read more

Best prices in town Cant beat the deal U can get here. Super fast, always fresh, consistent quality, beautiful señoritas at the front always very kind and personable . If this place ever goes down something must have gone horribly wrong in the economy That will be the mark of the end read more

I can't believe this is my first review for Zona! I've been going to Zona Fresca forever. Let me tell you, they live up to their FRESH title. This is the type of quick dining where you order at the counter and grab it when your number is called. From the counter you can see them grilling FRESH chicken, and tomatoes for their FRESH salsa. Their salsa is delectable and it's included when you dine in, you can serve yourself from their salsa bar. My "go tos" are the chicken quesadilla and chicken nachos. The quesadilla is just perfect and is served with pico, sour cream and guac. The nachos are a mound of nachos with oven melted cheese with all the good toppings. When I'm feeling adventurous I order a street taco or a chicken cali wrap. Zona is FRESH, fast and super consistent. I know I'm in for a great meal when I dine there and can't wait to get back! read more

You had me at salsa bar A cute little shop that was the perfect quick stop on my way into town! I ordered a carne asada burrito and it was SO good. Came with chips and all the salsa I wanted. Everything was so fresh and tasty! Highly recommend for a quick and filling taco stop! read more

Great quick Mexican the Baja dish taco is really good, hot and fresh. I also had the chicken salad with lemony dressing which was great with thin pieces of chicken, they were slightly over cooked but seasoned deliciously. They also give you some fresh tortilla chips and have a great salads bar, the tomatillo salsa was my favorite! The counter service was quick and polite. The restaurant was super clean and comfortable. Excellent job I will most definitely be back. read more

I ordered a pork taco plate which came with rice and pinto beans Along with a small side of chips. The pork tacos were flavorless and frankly disgusting. And while the habanero salsa was decent, the pico de gallo also had zero flavor. For $8.95 plus tax this was a complete waste of money. read more

This place is quick and tasty and they cook to order. There is a large menu on the wall. Lots of burritos, enchiladas, and more. You can customize your order if you prefer. There is also a salsa bar which you can use with your foods or on the chips they provide. This place is quick and has good flavors. Service is pleasant and is one of our regular spots!! read more

The street tacos are phenomenal! And they are big! I got two, thinking they would be small but I was surprised at how big they are. I also ordered a burrito but will have to take it home because the two street tacos filled me up. The service was great and the staff is friendly and polite! read more

Food is amazing, for a fast food Mexican cuisine, this is my go to restaurant for a quick and healthy lunch break meal. My favorite was is the siesta maker burrito or the tostada steak salad you get a really good portion within 5 minutes Uuufff...sooo good!!! Anyways.... Friendly service. The atmosphere is nice and clean. Staff was very attentive. Will re-visit! Recommend! read more

This place is always solid! I come here a couple of times a week, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared every time. Whether I'm stopping by for a quick bite or ordering for my staff at work, everything always arrives on time and tastes great. I've tried a good portion of the menu, and honestly, it's hard to pick a favorite because everything is so well done. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and you can tell they really care about quality and presentation. The staff are also incredibly friendly and welcoming -- they remember regulars, greet you with a smile, and always go the extra mile to make sure your order is right. It's rare to find a place that delivers both excellent service and consistently great food, but this one does every single time. Highly recommend it whether you're grabbing lunch, catering for a team, or just want a reliable go-to spot that always hits the mark! read more

Nice salsa bar, really crispy fish tacos and very reasonable prices. Stopped by this spot in search of tasty fish tacos and they did not disappoint. Tacos were crispy and the fish tasted fresh read more

We love stopping in here for a quick meal. Steak quesadilla is delicious. Would like if it was maybe a bit bigger though. Baja ranchero steak plate was a unique dish although the charbroiled chicken burrito bowl with black beans was even better. My daughter loves their guacamole. read more

I love this place, food is always delicious and fresh with attentive service and I like the casual ambiance here. It feels spacious with comfortable seating. This is my favorite location for this restaurant. I look forward dining here! read more

Our workplace has a knack for choosing excellent restaurants to do lunch for everyone. This time, it chose Zona Fresca. The presentation was amazing! All containers arrived in large, branded carry bags. Some employees took bags with them...maybe as keepsakes??? We had our choice of chicken, steak, or vegetarian burritos. Each cardboard container had the choose checked. The slogan was "Not your everyday Mexican food... Mexican food you can eat every day!" We agree! Each unbelievably heavy burrito came with bagged nachos, pico de gallo, and a delicious Mexican wedding cookie [Made in House]! Some folks were lucky to get 2-3 due to choices quickly dwindling. We had chicken and a left behind vegetarian. Seriously! Someone slept on the vegetarian. It had what most people in South Florida eat anyway, rice and beans! So their loss was our gain! That day was definitely a win win!!! If you are ready to get the hell away from Taco Bell, then go to Zona Fresca! "Not your everyday Mexican food... Mexican food you can eat every day!" read more

Definitely recommend Upon walking in you're greeted by a friendly staff. The menu has various options to choose from & the food was fresh, delicious and full of flavor. We ordered the taco plate: which came with 2 tacos, beans of your choice & cilantro rice, I choose the steak taco gringo style which has lettuce, tomato, cheese & sour cream; a pork taco which has shredded pork, pickled onions & cilantro & pinto beans that were so delicious. Shrimp and mango salad that was full of fresh and crispy lettuce, and veggies & flavorful shrimp. Both meals came with a side of tortilla chips - we opted to add a side of guacamole- that was fresh and delicious. And a fish taco that was cooked to perfection with lots of flavor. Will definitely be back to try their other options. read more

Zona Fresca was a nice surprise in Pompano Beach. The food had excellent flavor and the portions were very large. I had the fish tacos and they were fantastic. We knew this spot was decent because there was a line at an off-time of day. The kids had quesadillas and they came with rice and beans. My wife had chicken tacos and I would recommend the fish instead. We had some guacamole and it was also good as well. Only knock was the staff wasn't too happy, but restaurant work is hard and you never know how the day was going. Definitely recommend this place and still craving those fish tacos! read more

Zona Fresca - Fish Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

My first time going to this Zona Fresco. Most of the booths and tables were taken. Clyde and I went to the front desk to order. There were a few people in line ahead of us. When it was our turn we stepped up to the counter. There was a big menu board hanging behind the reception desk. I'm not very familiar with Zona Fresca's menu. I asked the person taking orders at the counter if they had a specialty. He described several dishes. He said I should try the fish taco. The taco came with rice, beans, and a small salad. I've never eaten a fish taco before and I decided to try it. We took an empty booth and waited for our food to be ready. The fish taco was delicious. Perfectly cooked, tender, with a slight crunch. The rice, beans, and salad was delicious also. Clyde had the three taco plate. He said it was very good. The restaurant appeared to be clean. The staff was very nice. I'm looking forward to going back for another fish taco. I just called the restaurant and I found out that they no longer serve the margarita. read more

Very clean service was good. I personally did not like the food. The best tasting, most popular burrito was quite bland. Their salsa was "meh". I did appreciate the free chip side dish. I also liked the Salsa 'bar' idea. One more thing I liked that they cut the burrito in half for you to serve. read more

Food is really good and affordable. The service is great . I don't like the place much but the food is good which is the most important .

Came here for lunch today not even thinking about how many people have tacos on Tuesday! What a wonderful experience. Read the menu on the wall and ordered two tacos -- a shrimp one and a fish one. The shrimp one isn't listed and only usually gone with onions and cilantro but I got it to have the same ingredients as the fish one -- per the counter persons suggestion. He also confirmed to me their fish type. It's Corvina (used often in Peruvian ceviche). My husband ordered their machacha burrito. You order and pay at the counter. Your number is listed on your receipt which they call out when ready. You help yourself to your drinks from a separate station. If you'd like, they give you a free basket of chips while you are waiting. Get them! They are addictive. The separate salsa bar was a very good addition. Mild salsa and pico de gallo for me. Hot salsa and marinated carrots and jalapeños for him. Fresh lime wedges for both of us! My tacos were soft and doubled (two stacked together). Each was delicious filled with cabbage, pico, and dressing. The shrimp was warm and the fish was lightly breaded. Fresh and tasty. I'd probably get a side of guacamole next time also. My husband's beef machaca burrito was huge -- luckily they cut it in half to make it easier to eat. Just packed with shredded beef, pinto beans, cheese, avocado, lettuce and pico in a soft wrap. It, too, was very good. I'm not usually a fan of most chains and Mexican food isn't one of my favorite cuisines, either, but this one really lived up to its slogans -- fresh Mexican Grill. And "Mexican food you can eat every day". There are 6 (soon to be 7) locations in Florida with another one in NJ. If there's one in your neighborhood, try them. You may become a convert, too. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I'm a vegan and I had options for a meal!!! I will definitely be eating more meals here.

The food is always fresh and tasty! It isn't over seasoned and you can add your own salsas from the salsa bar. Staff is warm and friendly - super on top of call in / online orders. It is a quick service restaurant, but tables are kept nice and clean. read more

NEVER DISAPPOINTS! Nothing like Zona & Sunsets after a long day! My usual go to are the chicken taquitos but today I decided to live my best life and get something with steak. This burrito bowl hit the spot and the steak was bangin! Don't forget to stop by the salsa bar to get different salsas that will kick your meal up a notch! SO DANG GOOD!! read more

I've been to the Zona Fresca in Pompano many times and it is always good. The service is always quick, and friendly workers. The food is always consistently good. I get a burrito and it's always stuffed, enough for 2 people. They also have the best pico de gallo, very fresh. read more

I usually enjoy my meals at Zona. It's my go-to when I want a fresh salad with yummy ingredients. Unfortunately because of COVID-19 I'm on alert to the safety standards of most restaurants. So here's a breakdown: 1- there were signs reminding guests to wear masks while inside (but not enforced and not all employees were wearing masks). When we walked in there's was a group of people standing by cashiers and none were wearing masks. 2-the employees that I noticed wearing masks were the ones preparing your meals so that felt a little better but then the one handling your food is not so it's a bit conflicting. 3-there were signs on tables saying not to sit there to ensure social distance. (Also not enforced--I had to move due to someone sitting at the booth next to me) after I had set up my table with utensils salsa, napkins, drinks, etc. 4-the salsa bar was individually wrapped which was nice. 5- initially we didn't get our chips with our meal so my hubby went to get them and they just gave him one but not one for me which is fine since we shared. 6- food was OK the steak in my dish was a tad overcooked but otherwise not too bad. I try to limit my visits to restaurants and try to opt for takeout instead of dine in. This is obviously a learning curve but I've noticed some establishments adapt/adjust better than others. I think if mgt enforced these safety rules a bit more other folks like myself would feel more comfortable dining in. read more

They are great at this place on Federal Hwy and Pompano. I ordered my food for pickup on the phone. The gentleman who took the order even said that he would wait if I arrived a few minutes after they closed. Very kind. Nachos were delicious and nice and cheesy. Burrito was steak and very delicious. Chile rellenos were excellent. Rice kind of ordinary but the peppers stuffed with cheese were perfect! Will return soon! read more

I dined in once and had take out the next day because this place was so great. Clean place, friendly staff and awesome food.

We are at this Zona Fresca just about twice a month, and it's always a nice and pleasant meal. We normally have a variety of items so that the kids can share different things. We love their Pozole soup....it is so good and full of chicken, hominy & veggies. The kids like their Quesadillas and Tacos, and we have the 2 Taco Combo Plate or different Tacos and Chile Rellenos. The service and food are always great. read more

I ordered the chicken Quesadilla and it was okay. The chips and salsa were amazing but the food was dry and plain. Lacked flavor as it seemed like there was no real Mexican authentic taste that you are looking for. But will try some other items! Update. The owner reached out to me with great suggestions on what to try and how I can add things to give it that authentic taste I really want! Definitely will be trying more!! Thanks! read more

I don't end up at Zona Fresca very often, there aren't too many around. There is this location on Federal Hwy and another one in Coral Springs on University. I was in the area at lunch time and decided to pay a visit today. My favorite menu item is the Cali-Wrap: chicken, melted jack and cheddar cheese, avocado, tomato, onion cilantro and lettuce in their lemony dressing all stuffed into a burrito for $7.95. You can get steak for a buck more. In addition to burritos they have street tacos, regular tacos, quesadillas, nachos, and salads. You can pick vegetarian bean, shrimp, pork, steak, and chicken for your protein. For a fast food place they have a have decent sized menu. After you order your food you can slide on up to the salsa bar and pick from pico de gallo, pickled vegetables, salsa, lime wedges, and my favorite tomatillo. You get a little bag of chips with the burrito so I like to pack up the salsa to go while waiting for my food. The restaurant is decorated very nicely for this price point of food. There are colorful posters on the wall in the dining room and pretty glass pendant lamps over the tables. This seemed like a popular location for this chain with many people coming and going during my visit. Even so my food was delivered quickly. It was a nice change up from my usual lunch of a sandwich or leftovers. read more

Love Zona Fresca, grew up on the one is Fort Lauderdale. Love their salsa bar, food always good.
