This is a snack shack by the main pool of the Ziva resort. Here, you can pick up a few things to curb that hunger while spending hours in the pool. You can either I'm inside, or take it back to your lounge chair.
How it works: There are 2 sides for food orders: Hot and cold. Things like burgers, tacos, fries ... etc are obviously on the 'hot' side, while items like ceviche, popsicles, or even their octopus tostada is on the cold side. Just check the menu to know where you want to place the order. Once you cut that down, fill out an order form with your name and # of items you want, hand it to the guys behind the counter and wait for them to call your name. Depending on the time of day, it could be fast or slow. Because they're not only making yours, but all of the poolside servers orders they brought back.
Left of the food counters is the bar. They're making drinks for the servers as well as others waiting in line. So have patience.
This is a very casual place, where often times, people walk in here with their swimwear. Don't expect great service or all smiles. These guys work hard endlessly in a hot kitchen in hot Mexican days. But they get the job done.
Food: Fish Baja tacos are great. Shrimp tacos aren't bad. Fish turnover tacos are meh. Fries are hot & crispy. Octopus tostada was surprisingly good. Ceviche is average. All foods' flavors depend on how busy they are and if the items are fresh, or have been sitting around.
For what it is, It's a good place to grab a drink and snack on some pool grub. But don't expect friendly service, nice ambiance, consistency or nice plating. It's just a poolside snack shack after all.
