Zanz Mexican Restaurant has been a favorite spot for many years, known for their delicious chilitos with hot sauce. The cheese chilito is a must-try comfort food. Despite the consistent menu, the food remains tasty and reminiscent of childhood. Popular dishes include beef enchiladas, cheese chilitos, and taco burritos. While not fancy, the restaurant offers really good Mexican food in a cozy setting, making it a beloved local establishment.
Recent reviews mention that the food can sometimes be disappointing, with cold tacos, half-filled chilitos, and sloppy tostadas. Some customers found burned cheese and old chips in their chilitos and felt the service has declined. The restaurant is recognized as a Mankato icon that has managed to stay open after the pandemic. Visitors appreciate the daily specials and the old-time, fun atmosphere, even if it feels a bit dated. The chilitos are especially praised, with some saying they are just a little better when made by the staff. Parking is easy, and the place is definitely kid-friendly, with many enjoying the chiliitos just like everyone else. Overall, Zanz offers budget-friendly Mexican food in a cozy setting that keeps its local charm.
