What an upscale Mexican restaurant, if you're looking for nachos, quesadillas or rice & beans this is not for you! We sat outside on the beautiful patio, almost like a treehouse. The waitress was sweet & service was excellent until the end, I had to go get the bill since she forgot about us. The food was delicious as were the drinks Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

We came here for a birthday work lunch with a group of seven. We started with the chips, salads, and corn ribs. The salsa had a little kick without being overly spicy, and the corn ribs were easily the highlight of the meal--definitely my favorite dish. I ordered the chicken al pastor tacos and, unfortunately, they were very bland. The chicken didn't have much flavor, and the salsa served with the tacos was also lacking. I did ask for extra pineapple, which added some sweetness and was probably the best part of the tacos. The service was excellent, and the restaurant has a trendy, modern atmosphere. Just know that this isn't a traditional Mexican restaurant--it's more of an upscale, bougie take on Mexican food, similar to Puesto. If you're looking for a fun vibe and good service, it's worth a visit. If you're after bold, authentic Mexican flavors, you may be disappointed. read more

Amazing food, drinks, service, and atmosphere! This place has it all! We really enjoyed eating on the patio. It feels very secluded and like another world. I was hoping the street corn and the cheesecake both had a little more flavor, but overall the food and drinks were really good. We got our food quickly and our waitress was so kind. What a great spot! read more

So glad to have discovered this place. I was truly amazed with the food. Everything was worth every single penny. The drinks, the food, the dessert, and the staff have made this place memorable for sure. Can't wait to go back and bring some friends. Indoor, outdoor, or bar seating is available. We were attended to quickly and checked up on frequently with our food also coming out fast despite them also being busy. This place gets an 11/10 for me! read more

I went to T'zunun for Easter brunch and honestly I was a little hesitant since holiday dining can sometimes be hit or miss, and the food isn't always as good as usual. But T'zunun was great as always! We were able to get in right before the brunch rush without a reservation and sat outside on the patio, which was really nice. Our waiter was very friendly and made sure we got the chicharrones, which were delicious. The food presentation was beautiful and everything was flavorful and well prepared. What I really appreciate about T'zunun is the consistency, whether you come on a regular weekday, a Friday night, or for brunch, the quality and service are always solid. Everything was wonderful and it made for a great Easter brunch experience. Definitely recommend! read more

Decided to come here for some drinks and bites with friends after seeing great yelp reviews decided to try it out! With no reservation, we were seated immediately although it was pretty busy inside we opted for outdoor seating, but after realizing how hot it was outside, asked to be moved , and it was not an issue at all the lady at the front was super accommodating. The inside was super lively the perfect place to get together with family or friends. The server was also very helpful although I forgot to get his name he answered all of our questions and gave us recommendations. The cocktails were delicious the cantarito was definitely the best that I've had from a restaurant, food was delicious. Everything tasted fresh honestly no complaints. read more

Awesome happy hour! Love their strong and creative drinks - the margaritas pitcher and hibiscus spritz were tasty. The food was delicious though wish there were more chips in the steak nachos! That Oaxaca cheese in the quesadilla is TDF with a nice cheese pull. Chicken wings were bomb. Also went for their taco Tuesday and the tacos were on point - love the fresh hand made made tortillas. Service was fine but they can get busy so make sure to place your order fast. Lastly the ambiance is such a vibe, especially the patio! Reminded me of CDMX. Cute Mexican spot with a level of sophistication that's perfect for an intimate dinner date or a happy hour with your besties. Will be back! read more

We love this restaurant so much. We often dine here when we have friends or family coming from out of town because they have a really nice patio and quite a large menu. It's a really lively place on the weekends. It's a brunch destination, and they have amazing drinks, food, and service. They even have some mocktails on the menu, which is nice. We definitely love their calamari. It's crunchy and crispy yet supple. Super fresh. We also like their chile relleno. It comes with steak and the steak is one of the best steaks I've ever had. They grill it on the grill so there's grill marks on that smoky taste and they cook it perfectly. You can't mess with their desserts, whether it's cake or their churros it's always sweet and cozy and delicious. The servers there are amazing. They are incredibly kind and accommodating. When we have had larger parties, they've always found a way to fit us all. Definitely recommend this place. It's great for a casual lunch, a special date night, a place to have a business meeting or even a place to celebrate a birthday. If the weather permits, I definitely recommend requesting to sit on the patio. read more

I came here on a Tuesday evening with my mom and grandma. We had reservations, but when we arrived, it was a pretty empty restaurant which was surprising! My guess is that we were eating an early dinner at 5:30 PM so the rest of the crowd just wasn't there yet. By the end of the evening, it was about half full. The aesthetic was absolutely beautiful and colorful. We decided to enjoy dinner outside on the back porch, which had tons of coverage and shade from the trees around the building and the awning above. Our servers were prompt and regularly refilled our water glasses, which was very helpful because it was pretty hot outside. We shared the Elote corn ribs for our appetizer. I would recommend taking advantage of the limes and squeezing it over for some extra flavor. For dinner, I had the shrimp tacos, which were a part of their taco Tuesday deal - they were flavorful and filling for such an affordable price! I also enjoyed the fact that the happy hour went until 6 PM, so we were able to take advantage of the drinks and the appetizer as part of the happy hour pricing. This restaurant had been on my list for a while, and I'm so glad I was able to check it out. I look forward to returning. read more

I've only heard positive things about Tzunun since it opened a few years ago. One of my friends heard the same, so we decided to go there on Saturday 12/27/2025. I had the chilaquiles (no chicken, green sauce) and my friend had the torta with fries. The chilaquiles were tasty and the portion was generous. Service was friendly and we didn't wait long for our food. Making a reservation (and changing it when our party size dropped from 4 to 2 people) on Open Table was easy. Loved the decor. I look forward to returning next time I'm in CA! read more

This restaurant is located in a small shopping center where there is not much parking but we got lucky. I loved the vibe and there were thoughtful touches everywhere. Service was friendly but very slow. The bartender was taking care of guests at the bar and also taking orders from tables in the area. It took a bit of time for us to be greeted and seated but he was very friendly. We ordered beef empanadas, fish and al pastor tacos, churros and I had a tamarind margarita. The empanadas were delicious! The dough was perfectly flaky without being greasy and the filling was flavorful. In my opinion the tacos were over priced for what you get. The batter on the fish was nice and crispy but everything was under seasoned. The salsa in particular was extremely bland. I had to taste it several times before I realized it really tasted like nothing. Also the platter was just tacos, no rice or beans or anything to go with it so I don't think the price is warranted. The drinks were pretty good, nothing super special but they were fine. The churros were a nice way to end the meal. They were hot and crispy. There was a side of mascarpone cream and that was a nice touch. There were multiple people working the restaurant but we were not checked on often. I asked for a drink menu but no one came back to ask what I wanted to order until I flagged them down. I think they definitely could do better about checking in with guests and touching every table more often. That being said I would absolutely come back for the empanadas. I do think at $15 for only 2 they are overpriced but they still were delicious and good quality. read more

Place was decent but I don't think I'd come back. Felt over priced for what you get. Side of guac $3 but appetizer $13 and it felt like a little side than a side and 4 large chips to break apart. The pozole was good and beef empanadas as well. It wasn't anything that "wow'd" me. Our waiter was great, attentive and informative. Place was clean and nice ambience but nothing special to run back too. read more

Tzunun in PH for a quick bite before a night out! The skinny margarita was not too sweet and perfectly balanced. The mushroom tacos are a fav of mine! Homemade tortillas (yes they are a bit soft and fall apart but so delish) topped with melted cheese, mushrooms, and fried leeks! Huge portion! The chichen taquitos also are generous and the green sauce that accompanies it is amazing. Great spot! read more

I've tried T'zunun two times and had varied experiences. First time, I dined alone for dinner and sat in the dining room. I ordered taquitos and beef empanadas. The taquitos were potato and served fresh and hot. Great flavor. The empanadas stole the show! They were flavorful, flaky, and fresh. Oh, I also ordered a mocktail which was yummy. Second time, I sat in the bar area with a friend for lunch. I ordered the beef empanadas again and a Caesar salad. While the empanadas were good, the filling was "wetter" than the first time. Very different than the first time eating them. The Caesar salad was drenched in dressing and I could barely eat it. It was overwhelming. I wish I had sent it back but I didn't want to since I didn't ask for light dressing. Noted for next time. Service was great each time too. I would return but only for dinner. read more

It's a beautiful place. Decor is delightful and not overdone. Service was impeccable. And the food - where to begin? I had the corn and the house salad with grapefruit and pear and the mussels. I'm used to mussels in broth, but not with this flavor profile. It was like kiss your fingers exquisitely good. Probably the best mussels I've eaten. A+. Very reasonably priced for what it is. Next time I'll try the ceviche. Oh my god there's a happy hour too, and the mussels are on the happy hour menu! Next time I'm in tinez / pleasant hill, I'm going to beg my wife for us to go here. And also there's even a kid menu. The Mexican chocolate cheesecake was impossibly good. My sons apparently looked tired because we were sitting here a while. So the server popped out with complimentary churros for them. Not just amusement park churros. These were gourmet churros with a spoon of gelato. Love this place. read more

Location is nice, clean and aesthetically pleasing. Staff - Jennifer was so nice. For food we had the guacamole (7/10 - small portion), steak nachos (8/10), oysters (10/10), shrimp tacos (10/10), passionfruit (6/10 - not very sweet) and Cadillac margaritas (9/10) and churros (20/10). My only "negative" comment is that some of the items are small. You'd like to have more of certain things. But I also keep in mind that we normally eat too much in this country so the expectation for big portions is high. This is a place that is classy, high quality and deserves several trips. read more

We stopped at T'zunun for their Happy Hour. The inside is very nicely decorated, clean, and modern. The food was okay, but nothing too memorable. The prices were a bit more than we expected, so don't expect a great HH deal when you come here. You are paying for the ambiance. Food service was a bit slow, and portions were small, but it seems like a nice date spot. read more

So disappointing! The 4 of us had a delicious lunch here 2-3 years ago and were excited to return. First, the menu was dramatically different, a weekend brunch menu rather than a lunch menu. One side egg dishes.. bummer. We ordered the guacamole and chips-$15.00!! It was an ice cream scoop of guacamole with some salsa which was hot but yet not flavorful with 15 chips. What? We asked for more chips and they brought us 12 more and charged us another $3.00. Seriously? We ordered two plates of fish tacos (3 each) and two orders of steak tacos. The fried fish tacos were decent but the tortillas were Musy and fell apart which I've never experienced before in any Mexican restaurant anywhere. I tried one of the steak tacos and that corn tortilla was also mushy, the steak was overcooked and dry and have an off taste and after one bite I handed it back to my husband. Ugh. So, along 3 beers, I iced tea, the bill was $128.00 - before tip! All we could say was never again. They either changed hands, have a new chef (or cook) or both. Too bad. Nice atmosphere though and lovely patio deck. read more

My fiancé and I just had dinner at Tzunun. It was by far one of the best dinners we have had in a while! From The moment we walked in we were received with lots of warmth from the hostess. The waiters were super helpful in answering our questions and gave us recommendations. They were also very attentive with our drinks. At one point, Gabriel the cheff came out to ask how our dinner was. It was very apparent to us that this restaurant takes pride in their food and appreciate their customers. I wish this restaurant much success! The steak was perfect! The ambiance was amazing. We had a really good time. Thank you Tzunan and their amazing family and staff! Also, the flan was soo good! Please dont leave without trying it!!! read more

I tried the skirt steak tacos. (3 all natural USDA skirt steak tacos with poblano peppers, bacon, queso fresco and a side of roasted pepper salsa). While the tacos were flavorful, it was impossible to eat the dish as intended like a taco. The meat was very chewy and cut into large pieces and the tortilla was very delicate so everything fell a part. I had to get a fork and eat the meat and accompaniments and abandon the tortillas. read more

wouldn't come again. the noise inside was terrible I couldn't hear people talking at my table. The servers often took very long to get anything and would often forget to bring things for the table. The food is not classic but modern so know what you're getting into. the mole was terrible, appetizers were alright, Caesar salad and skirt steak tacos were good. Overall not a good dining experience but going to the bar might be more enjoyable. read more

I was excited to try this place but to be honest it was just so-so. We stopped in for taco tuesday and I would say I was a little bit underwhelmed. It took awhile to get our orders and the waiter seemed nervous or something. We ordered some tacos and mojitos. The mojito was mango flavored and is the real reason for the 3 stars - it was pretty good and a pretty good Taco Tuesday price. The shrimp in the taco is grilled instead of fried which is good but the slaw was tasteless. The carne asada tacos were probably the best. The chips and salsa were interesting. Big chunks of chips with a tiny dip. All in all, this place is in competition with a lot of Mexican style eateries in the area and I won't necessarily be rushing back. The ambiance with the lighting was nice though - maybe that's what you are really paying for? read more

The high prices don't warrant the area, it's not downtown Walnut Creek with the high rent & visibility! The only time I see its busy or somewhat busy is on Saturdays. The food wasn't anything special by any means so I'd rather eat at the hundreds of Mexican restaurants near by without the price gouging! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for our monthly anniversary dinner. Maybe not the best place for an intimate dinner. It is very loud here. We had to yell to talk even though we were sitting right across from each other. Food was okay. We got the corn ribs, beef empanadas, ribeye steak, fish tacos, and Abuelitas chocolate cheesecake. I think the starter options are where T'zunun shines, the ribs and empanadas were pretty tasty. I just wish there were some mix and match capabilities. You cannot mix tacos or empanadas types. The mains left a little to be desired. I was initially brought the wrong tacos, but when the "right" tacos came, they definitely didn't taste right. The slaw was not consistently dressed and the fish not seasoned. My boyfriend's steak was cooked appropriately but they took his fork before he finished eating. The beans in the steak dish also lacked flavor, and the avocado mousse was not mousse-like at all. Lastly, when they asked us if we wanted any dessert, we were handed a kids entree menu. So clearly, there are some service and food quality opportunities here. As I was writing this review, a couple approached us and asked if I was writing a review and shared they felt similarly about their experience. So this restaurant may not be worth the trip or the money! We will not be coming back. read more

I usually love coming here, the food, the service and outdoor patio is always great! But this last visit unfortunately not so much. The waitress was not very friendly at all. I asked for no syrup on the drink I ordered, so when they brought it out it had syrup. I politely asked if I could get another one without it (like I originally ordered) and she was super sarcastic with her respond. So unnecessary. I brushed it off thinking she was having a bad day, but then saw her super chipper with the guest at another table. Felt like the drink thing offended her or something. Then the ceviche I usually get was not fresh, and the corn rib appetizer was cold and just lathered with mayo. Not sure what was going on that day. But it was not the usual enjoyable time. I will stop going for awhile. Didn't feel welcomed at all this time. read more

Every single time I come here the food and drinks are 10/10. It is always consistently good and the service is great, too. Everyone is always so friendly and accommodating! It's my favorite spot to go to when I want to meet up with friends or go on a date with the hubby. The Torta Milanese and Flautas are my go-to's. If you go for brunch I recommend the chilaquiles! I recently tried the Brussels sprouts and they were surprisingly so delish! They were savory and different than any other place has prepared them and it was quite refreshing (kind of tired of the sweet balsamic Brussels most restaurants serve you know what I'm sayin??) Definitely give them a shot if you haven't already, you will not be disappointed! read more
