This is such a great little Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious, the service great, and the margaritas are real, made to order. Love the enchiladas Suisa (green sauce with chicken) and jalapeño salad, you will not be disappointed! The lighting is a bit dark outside, so may looked closed, but they are usually open, so try it. read more

Excellent Mexican dishes and margaritas! Eduardo makes every drink irresistible and delicious! You won't leave here disappointed.

The food is spot on! Love the Jalapeno salad, and margaritas are delicious! Great local spot with great food and wonderful owners.

Small cozy place here for sure. I placed a to go order and I will say the guy working here was attentive taking my order and mostly friendly. So after the usual wait came back and my food was bagged abs ready for me to go. The chicken soup was delicious, plenty of shredded chicken and good amount of rice, just wish there more broth, since it was really good and very flavorful without being too salty like some soups can be. Now the combo 19, which is cool they have combo plates, the chicken chimichanga was great, nice big chunks of chicken in the rolled tortilla and that itself was fried just right, but kinda of oily. Side of rice was alright, love that it plain rice and not some rice with random veggies undercooked, plus this place actually salts the rice rather then others where the rice is so plain as hell. The beef burrito buried underneath the grilled cheese was bit of let down, very cafeteria style with bland beef and under seasoned tomato sauce. The chicken enchilada underneath the same cheese was better, same quality chicken as the chimichanga seasoned well and nice big chunks of chicken to fill the tortilla space. I think for here am better off getting a non combo next round read more

Live locally and this is one of the best spots around. Still feel like they are the best margaritas around! The salsa is my favorite, I could eat a zillion cheese quesadillas (complimentary). And have ordered mores (at a cost). Always love the food. Chilaquiles are my favorite! And I always get combo 39! Had the chicken soup last weekend and I'm hooked! Love love love it here! The service is always amazing, Eduardo makes sure everyone is satisfied! read more

The owners are friendly and the food is decent. It's not a place I would rave about for sure. The salsa is bland and too watery. The guacamole was bland as well. The food I ordered was also bland, needed more salt and a deeper flavor profile . Overall it wasn't bad, just not great. The chips were good. read more

We took a multi-year break from Zona because food quality was on the decline. So we recently tried them the first week of may 2023 and I was pleasantly surprised. - we ordered multiple meals and one nachos with cheese app. Our order was takeout. The food was cooked perfectly and tasted great. - the service however to pickup takeout was confusing and slow, I waited 15 minutes after the scheduled time. - the place was packed with 20 and 30 somethings that were more interested in the bar and drinking. The customers were rude and loud. So I can't give a 5 star review because I am interested in takeout and getting the takeout means dealing with drunk rude kids that block the takeout area of the bar. That said the food was great. We will try them again just not in the evening. read more

Quick service. Friendly staff. GREAT FOOD! The selection is awesome. While waiting for our food they bring out this complementary cheese quesidilla. Simple but amazing. I could eat a plate of them all on their own. Simple yet elegant ambiance Will go again!!! read more

We ordered takeout for four, we ordered 2 sides of Guac that came with crispy huge amounts of homemade chips . Steak fajitas full of meat, tasted incredible,so tender & flavorful. The chicken was generous in portion & fresh, our dinners were all great in portion , we were excited to try everything it all looked so good ! The chef doesn't oversalt the food , you may need a salt shaker for the chips which I did for mine but the dinners were nicely seasoned . We are going to eat there next time as the dining room & bar area looked really pretty !! read more

Zona Rosa - Homemade chips & Guac - Mexican Near Me - Walden, New York

Hair in my food turned me off immediately. Long black and disgusting. Sorry can't reccomend this one.

Went here with my husband last weekend, I was craving enchiladas, rice and beans and a margarita. We wanted to try a new local spot. I saw pictures others have posted of the perfectly melted cheese on top and I was sold. The restaurant was empty and we had it totally to ourselves. We started off with a margarita and a tequila sunrise. The drinks were strong and cold. They served us the complimentary chips & salsa (fresh, homemade and not too spicy) and a cheese quesadilla (piping hot). My husband ordered soup, and he devoured the delicious broth. I had my chicken enchiladas with red sauce and they were everything I had hoped for and more. We also ordered ceviche, fresh and delicious. The staff were also super kind and friendly people. I can't wait to go back again. read more

We had a really pleasant experience here last night!! The servers are so nice and work fast. Its cozy inside and the food was really good. Happy that this restaurant is a short drive from home - we'll be back for sure. read more

Food is just ok....I have had the best and this is just the rest.....and at the time and maybe now....they didn't deliver.

Excellent food and great service as always. We've been loyal customers since they opened--the margaritas are also wonderful!

Worse food ever. Enchiladas were greasy liquidy plain nasty food. Too bad there are no good Mexican food eat outs in You have to be Spanish to really understand how bad they cook at ZONA ROSA nasty nasty food read more

At first I was hesitant to try Zona Rosa, but I'm very glad I have. This little restaurant in the village of Walden pumped out some serious eats. With only a few tables, Zona Rosa has a very quaint and intimate atmosphere. As far as location is concerned, there isn't a Mexican restaurant within several miles, so they've got that going for them. All our food, takeout mind you, was fantastic. Shrimp ceviche tasted fresh, with a good amount of shrimp. The chilaquiles were nice, as was the salsa and chips that came with our order. Love that they threw it in even though we ate our food at home. I requested mixiote on the phone, but the receptionist said they didn't have it, and recommended the pork chop with chipotle sauce. It was by far the highlight of the meal, as the sauce was bursting with flavor layered over two giant pork chops, all served with rice and beans. We really liked this place, and look forward to going back, especially to eat in! read more

Wonderful family owned Mexican restaurant. Fresh salsa and chips got us started. Beef echiladas are stuffed with slow cooked meat (not the typical ground beef). We were treated to cheese tacos while we waited for our lunch; a really nice touch. Service was really nice. read more

This is our go to for Mexican food! Shrimp fajitas and chicken enchiladas are the bomb!

So we have been ordering from here on a consistent basis and we love it!! The owner and his family are so nice and helpful. I know I'll get great service every time and great food too. I highly recommend this place! read more

I came to Zona Rosa after a tour of The Angry Orchard Cider House. I researched it on Yelp and saw the great ratings so I wanted to give it a try. All-in-all: MEH! The food was good but I've had way better. I had the burrito, enchilada and chimichanga combo and my boyfriend has a Caeser salad and chicken quesadilla. The best part of the meal was a complimentary mini-cheese quesadilla. That was the star of the meal. The best part of the place was the staff. They were really nice and extremely attentive. I live about an hour away so it will be a while before I come back. If you are reading this and heading for the Cider House, I would recommend getting food from their food truck. Now, that food looked and smelled amazing!! read more

I ordered a take out. We had the combo number 45 (chicken enchiladas, poblano pepper, chicken chimichanga), some steak tacos, some cheese quesadillas and guacamole with chips. If you are new to the area, you're probably not seeing this place and I want to make sure it's understood that it is in fact a hidden gem. The guacamole was creamy and delicious. Not one of those chewy lemony last minute things but really well done, and their chips I believe are home made. The steak tacos, very delicious with the pepper and cheese melt in it, the steak portion was satisfying. Some don't put enough meat in it, this was absolutely a meaty old style soft shell taco. We loved the combo 45 plate, it was with beans and rice, enchilada and chimichanga was so good. I especially loved the poblano pepper, which is spicy but after a couple seconds the heat goes away. Everything was good. Prices are a teeny bit high, but the service and the taste really makes it okay. My one advice would be maybe do tacos a little cheaper so we can order more:) The ambience is very lovely, the lady who took my order was very sweet. Hard working people, I can tell. There's a small bar area in the back, so you can sit in the green light and get some drinks, be merry and all that with delicious food. Clean environment. Thank you for the food, we really enjoyed what we ordered. read more

If I had to choose my last meal, Zona Rosa would be making it for me! This is my favorite resturant! Customer service is fabulous! Family owned, Dad, Mom, and Daughter all work together, each bringing out different parts of your meal. The cheesey, buttery quesadilla starts as your appeitizer, which could be reason enough to go there! And chips and salsa are perfect! My husband always orders the pork chops with the green sauce..... YUM! Im always trying different things and each meal is almost better then the last! Dessert is actually my least favorite of the courses, yet it's still delicious, flan or bananna flavored (excuse my spelling...) Chimmychanga(? Lol). Usually just when we think we're finished with our meal and go up to pay our bill, we all get invitied up to the bar for a free round of tequila shots! Perfect ending to a perfect mexican meal! read more

This place is nothing short of exceptional. Family-run business with an owner who takes pride in his craft. From the salsa, the free cheese quesadilla they give you to the enchiladas chilequiles and more this is probsbly the best mexican place ive ever been to read more

I always have the best experience. We usually get to-go, and when we get there and the food isn't ready yet, the bartender always makes us a drink while we wait! They are such friendly people and I highly recommend. Been going here for years! read more

An amazing lunch!! Fantastic service, incredible margaritas and the food was exceptional!! The best service!!!

Ill admit it took me a while to try this place. A freind recommended it and I'm glad they did. The service is exceptional. As soon as you are seated a plate of warm chips and fresh salsa comes out. Every time i have been there they also bring out a cheese quesadilla as an app. They have a full drink, beer and wine list. The food is great. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed. read more

Tried this place a few years back and was far from impressed ... Decided to give it another try yesterday with my friend who lives locally, this time I was very impressed as both of our dishes where very good and authentic I had the enchiladas, actually some of the best I have had in our area ever..my dining partner went with the chicken in mole sauce which she claimed was also pretty adequate although I do not eat mole sauce .. All in all zone rosa is family owned and very authentic I'd recommend it to any one passing thru read more

We were able to dine in even though we got there 25 minutes before closing. Has parking along all Main Street so it was easy to get a spot. We were welcomed with smiles staff feels family like and let us enjoy our food without rushing us, even offered us desert. Now on to food we started with Homemade unlimited salsa and chips,ceviche, and tortilla soup so good made my mouth water for dinner. I ordered the fajita even though it wasn't on the menu I was told sure I couldn't make up my mind on shrimp or steak so I got combo came with rice refried beans guacamole sour cream and cheese and it was absolutely delicious he ordered tres taco (fish) burrito (chicken)chimichanga (shredded beef) his came with a side of rice and beans although it's both of our favorite food choice when we go out , with him being from Arizona he is a bit more picky on authentic than me when it comes to Mexican food and he had no complaints even said he's glad it's so close to us so we can go back. We finished up with tres Leche cake even though we were stuffed so we shared it. Then I ordered a slice to go yes that good.Paid our bill and wewere waved to with goodbye as we left, keeping them there an hour after closing, they were still as kind as can be. All that plus our drinks the bill with a nice tip came to 100 bucks I believe the bill part was 68.00. So in saying all this if you love Mexican food or you wanna impress someone who loves it I highly recommend Zona Rosa as the place to go wether it's dinner for 2or the family you won't be disappointed. read more

"when did tequila and lime juice become as expensive as silver?" he asked to no one in particular.. the food was fine. it didn't make me happy, it didn't make me sad. it was about the same as any other mexican restaurant i've been to.. and just as pricey. some people rave, some people meh. i'm more of a meh-er for this one. i had enchiladas. i don't have any details because it was forgettable.. which is sad because the place is close. i remember the lighting being .. discordant. read more

Authentic Mexican food with and authentic Mexican atmosphere. Good service and good prices. I wouldn't say it's the best in Orange County but definitely a huge win for Walden. read more

I enjoyed my first visit to this small but welcoming place. The staff was very nice and the food was delicious. The guacamole was fresh, beer was cold and dinner was full of flavor without being masked by a ton of cheese which seems to be the norm. Can't wait to go back with a few friends. Complimentary tequila as an aperitif was a nice bonus. read more

This is a hidden gem, a perfect detour from Angry Orchard- authentic, delicious, carefully prepared food that is as good as it gets: their mole sauce is unbeatable. The restaurant is spotless and the host (owner?) is personable and accomodating. I have not found a better Mexican restaurant in all of Orange County- highly recommended! read more

This was the worst Mexican food I have ever ate in my life. The food had no flavor at all. I had to use my flashlight on my phone because the lighting was so poor. Chips awful salsa was awful no flavor at all! The host was very nice but he could not be Mexican no Mexican I know would ever serve someone food that bland. read more

This place was terrible. What a disappointment. Our visit was a while ago, so I apologize in advance for forgetting some details. My wife and I are always on the hunt for good Mexican food. We read about this place on Yelp and thought, "let's give it a whirl." I believe, at the time, it had a five star rating. My only guess (in retrospect) is that the people giving those high marks were given "incentives" for their positive participation or were employees and family. Here's what happened. My wife and I arrived around dinner time on a weekend, so we were expecting a crowd. It was empty. Bad sign. But we were hungry and we were there, so... OK. We were 'greeted' by a waiter, who couldn't have been more than 15, after standing in a darkly lit doorway for a minute or two. He all but grunted a 'hello' and sat us along the wall. After looking through a fairly standard menu, we waited (for what seemed like an eternity) for the boy to come back and take our order. I am not exaggerating when I say that he came back and said, "what do you want?" I almost laughed out loud. I ordered a burrito and my wife ordered a plate of enchiladas (I think). I also ordered a soda and we both asked for water. The soda was delivered in a cup, no ice, and came from a can, which I had heard him open and pour while standing behind a small counter. When our food came to the table, he plopped it all down without a word. No, "OK, here you go," or, "can I get you anything else," or, "enjoy." Not. A. Word. The food was underwhelming, to put it mildly. It was canned sauces, tortillas from Walmart, and barely seasoned meat. Disgusting. And expensive, considering. As we finished and the table was cleared, the kid was all of a sudden nice. As in, "it's tip time, better act better." My wife, kind soul that she is, still have an acceptable tip in the end. I didn't even want to pay for the little we actually ate. My tip was going to be telling him, "learn how to be a better waiter." All in all, a very bad experience. Normally I give restaurants a handful of chances. Everyone has bad days so you have to be fair. Not this place. I will never go back there and have taken great pleasure in telling other people to avoid it, too. Oh, and those sodas? We were charged for refills. All from cans. Last note: this place costed about 20% more than the average Mexican eatery. Avoid this restaurant. read more
