Zona Rosa Mexican Grill

I've been here a few times and the food is good. The latest time I was here for an unexpected happy hour.$3 street tacos! Woo hoo!I got 2 carnitas tacos for take out (and a handful of free chips which was nice!)But when I got home and bit into my first savory taco, I see I got the fattiest pieces of meat. I guess this might be wonderful if the fat was soft and melty. But it wasn't. So I had to dissect my food to remove the fatty bits.Bummer.

Really wanted to like this place because the service was nice but it's truly just average. Free chips but they were cold and kind of stale. I got the enchilada plate with chicken in mole sauce. The sauce was bland as well as the rice. The refried beans tasted like they came straight out a can. You have to walk through the kitchen if you need to use the restroom which seems a bit unsanitary. Cute little place but subpar food.

I had a delicious and hot shrimp burrito from here the other evening. The service was quick, the food was fresh and it was a nice, large portion. I would come back!

walking on market and grabbed a quick bite to eat here. The staff is super helpful and the service was great. I got a regular carnitas quesadilla for $11 that came with chips, water, and salsa for free. They brought everything out to me and cleaned up my table. chill vibe, good food for good prices

Having recently headed to the Mission District for tacos I was surprised by some of the prices. A small 2-taco order was easily $10 if not more. This made Zona Rosa a slam dunk. I walked by on Taco Tuesday and noticed that street tacos (what they call "Jefe Tacos"; normally $5 apiece) were a very reasonable $3. Opting for a carne asada and an el pastor Jefe Taco I was easily able to assess how these compared to their counterparts recently enjoyed at the Mission's Taqueria Vallarta: * Both el pastor and carne asada taco (meats and fillings) were equivalent in flavor. Both good and enjoyable. * With the Taco Tuesday deal, Zona Rosa tacos are the far better deal ($6 vs $10 for 2).* The tortillas at Taqueria Vallarta are better. Both places use two tortillas per taco.* Now here's where Zona dosa really shines: Though you order at Zona Rosa's counter you're served at your table. The server, who also manned the register, brought chips (free of charge), salsas (in squirt bottles, but good), and iced water. I felt like I was actually serviced and that's not what I found in the Mission (or,for that matter, at very many other places these days). Chances of a Tuesday return to Zona Rosa (which also offers other Taco Tuesday deals) are strong.

Not among my favorite tacos for the area. I found the taco overstuffed which sounds like a good thing, but I felt like it made it unbalanced to the rest of the toppings, and made it super hard to eat. I also didn't love the tortilla they use for the tacos. Between the al pastor and the carne asada, I preferred the al pastor, which was juicier and more flavorful.

The service and employees go above and beyond! They were super sweet, and there were chips and pico for free! There was too much hot sauce on the tacos I got, and they remade 2 of them for me without the sauce.I wanted to love the food equally as much, but I was a little underwhelmed by the Jefe tacos. The meat was quite dry, and I tried both the carnitas and asada. I felt like everything was a bit lacking in flavor, pico included.

This is a local restaurant which provides outstanding service. The ambiance is simple but nice.For my meal, I ordered the chicken mole which was a generous portion and came with corn tortillas. The chicken was nice and juicy and the mole was good as well -- I personally like the flavors of the mole to be a little deeper, but that's just a personal preferences. The enchiladas were excellent as well.

Ask for the El Chingón or En El Mar in El Dorado style (toasted). It's the best! Well made, always warm/hot with ample of meat and always hit the spot, unlike the other places I get a cold burrito when I bring them home. The El Dorado Style makes all the difference. And it's not too watery either. Perfect burrito, that's why we keep coming back.

Best Taco Tuesday The price is great Service fire Ambient is really greatI will definitely be cumin back
