My recent visit to ZONA Cantina Cocina was a mixed bag of experiences, with some highlights and a few areas for improvement. The food, for the most part, was excellent, and even the leftovers proved to be a delightful surprise the next day.However, when it came to the bar and drinks, I found them to be lacking. Despite dropping hints to the bartender, it seemed that our concerns went over her head, resulting in a less-than-satisfactory drink experience. Unfortunately, our server was also oblivious to our hints, leaving us feeling a bit neglected.Thankfully, the situation was salvaged by someone who carried themselves like the manager. They took notice of our dissatisfaction and promptly made it right by waiving some of the charges from our bill. Their attentiveness and willingness to rectify the situation were greatly appreciated and turned what could have been a disappointing experience into a more positive one.Overall, while there were some hiccups along the way, the outstanding food and the responsive actions of the management team leave me willing to give ZONA Cantina Cocina another chance in the future. With a bit more attention to the bar and drink service, they have the potential to provide a truly stellar dining experience.

They have really good tacos and chips and salsa. We enjoyed the tv screens showing Cancun and the music also. We will go back and try other dishes. I recommend! It was also clean and not too crowded on a weekday around 3.

I love the food at Zona! Their tacos are amazing. Their ceviche and tostadas are my favorite. We always have good service. It’s a little small and crowded but the food makes up for that!
Used to have great food, not always the best service, but great food. This last visit was so disappointing! I don’t know if they changed owners or what but the quality of the food seems to have gone way down. And it’s not a cheap place! Still debating giving them another try but that last meal was just not worth it.

This is a great local spot I found with my wife for a date night. Food is delicious with a great twist on Asian & Mexican. I've gone a couple of times now and tried new things each time, I still haven't had anything I didn't like and found a couple of favorites, too. I also recommend their cocktails!

The food was tasty and beautifully presented. Prices are higher than other comparable restaurants. However, I object to being charged 3% fee for using a credit card. This is not the only charge. They charge you for chips and salsa. Another non starter for me at a Mexican restaurant. This is another non starter for me. There are plenty of good restaurants in the area and nearby to get a good meal. I won’t be going back.
