Unexpected place an unfamiliar shopping strip. Aroma as soon as you walk in. Surprised they don't use lard and instead vegetable oil. The flavors still going. Chips and salsa fresh and crisp. Quesadilla bomb before the guacamole and sour cream bomb. Got the number 15. Eddie good looking out on the recommendation. You were spot on with the service too. Also Gilbert thank you as well. I will be back read more

Zacatecas Restaurant - The number 15 Steak Picado - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I was in the area with an hour to kill. I browsed the local eateries and noticed this spot had pretty high reviews. I decide to give it a try and I'm glad I did. Sometimes a place makes you feel welcomed and comfortable as soon as you walk in. This is one of those places. The server and the owner are both friendly and genuinely hoping you have a great experience. The Asada plate was pretty good. The crunchy taco wasn't as crunchy as it should've been. The gobernador's shrimp was a bit too mushy for my taste. Overall, the food was good and I'll will be back if I'm in the area. read more

Very unassuming restaurant with a tight parking lot. Very welcoming staff , seated me right away. Full bar with cans of sodas, rather than fountain drinks. Booths or tables to choose from. TV's hung on the walls. Chips and salsa delivered right away. Salsa was chunky style. Really good flavor. Not hot, mild. House margarita was very tasty. I got a combination plate with a crunchy shredded beef taco, chile relleno, beans and rice . A lot of beans and rice, I couldn't eat it all. The taco shell was definitely home made. The shredded beef was spiced and cooked well. The Chile relleno was covered in a red enchilada sauce and stuffed with cheese. I love rellenos and this one was good. My water was kept filled and the staff was very friendly and polite. I would not hesitate to eat here again next time I'm in town. read more

The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms, which I really appreciate. I will definitely be returning next time I am in the area.

Very friendly staff, excellent service. They cheered along with us for the soccer game. And the food was delicious.

It had been so long since I've been here and it's still fantastic! Stopped in late Monday and they were a little busy but we still got a roomy booth. Easy parking, and service was quick and friendly. Love the food, had a few different options and everything was great. Prices are fair and I'll definitely be back for more. read more

I was in town visiting a friend and I told him I wanted Mexican food & he brought me here. This place is worth any wait there could ever be. When you first walk in your welcomed almost to what feels like a family dinner, they seat and give you one of the menus I have pictured. The menu offers you a strong selection of amazing traditional Hispanic dishes. My bean & cheese burrito with a side of rice was literally perfect. My friend got a shredded beef burrito & it was amazing as well. I will definitely be back to try something new & I genuinely can't wait read more

I enjoyed my Tom's burrito me and my friend gave it a 9/10. The only thing is that my stomach is feeling funny like something wasn't "fresh" and I found some kind of string in my leftover burrito. The chips and salsa were ok and so was the Jamaica. Nothing amazing. Really great service very friendly, especially Juan. Enough booth seating. Small quaint restaurant. read more

I did takeout since this place is open on a Sunday. So I can't speak for ambiance. But the lady on the phone super sweet. The food was nice size portion. Got bean and cheese burrito dry ( they offer that) two beef shredded tacos and some Reano chile shredded beef burrito no beans. Everything was so largely sized and fresh tasting my dad who picked it up says it's a cute mom and pop place. read more

Went to meet up with friends who had a long layover at LAX. We found Zacatecas and it definitely didn't disappoint. There were 9 of us in our party and they had complimentary chips and salsa for the table. Our food took a while to come out but everything was delicious. Everyone ordered something different. The tostada was massive, the Tom's burrito was packed with everything. I loved my garlic shrimp dish, my friend enjoyed her asada fajitas, the kids loved the quesadilla, birria tacos. We also enjoyed their margarita. We also had flan for dessert. No wonder there's a line outside when it's peak time because the restaurant is loved and enjoyed by locals. read more

Great chips and salsa. Service was friendly and fast. Casual place and we sat in a booth. Tender carne asada. Hubs ordered the burrito. I ordered the Governor's shrimp tacos. So delicious. Popular place especially with the locals. Parked around the corner. Parking in their tiny front area is really tight. read more

Came to Zacatecas with a group and left very satisfied. Right when you sit down, they bring out complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a good sign--and the salsa had a nice kick, not bland at all. For food, we ordered a little of everything. The beef tacos were solid: flavorful, juicy meat, well-seasoned, and served simply so the beef really shines. The shrimp tacos were cooked perfectly, not overdone, and packed with flavor. We also got the chicken enchiladas, which were comforting and hearty. The chicken was tender, the sauce was rich without being overpowering, and everything tasted fresh. Lastly, the chile verde was everyone's favorite. Super savory, tender pork, and that green sauce had depth with a spicy kick that kept you coming back for more. Overall, generous portions, classic Mexican flavors, and very friendly staff. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving real Mexican food. read more

Zacatecas Restaurant - Good Friday. Very delicious - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

A perfect place for a home cooked Mexican meal. The service is always the same - fast, attentive, and always in a good place. No matter how busy or how chatoic, the team at Zacatecas always gives 110% to serve their customers. Ive been coming here for almost 4 years and I never have had a negative thing to say (other than the parking but for a prime location off a main street I don't blame them). Food is always good and tastes fresh. The servers are friendly and always answer any questions you have. Its a community staple for a reason. Highly recommend for a quick lunch or a filling dinner. Always a treat to come back to. Favorite Dish: Menudo or Sopa de Albondigas (Meatball soup) read more

This place is fantastic! I was staying in the area and wanted good Mexican food that was close by! I will drive here regardless now. Food: I'm not sure if it's an AZ thing but I'm used to my carne asada cut in chunks or strips...these were in thin slabs. So much flavor!! Service: instantly welcomed in and I could sit anywhere I wanted. No one has specific tables which means they all are there to help you! I was provided with chips and salsa and water right away. Food came out so quick. Every server checked up on me and constantly made sure that I was ok. I took some of my food to go and they offered to send chips with me then all of them asked if I needed a bag to help carry my stuff out. Such a great atmosphere. You can also tell they have a ton of regulars which is always a good sign! Parking: there is a small lot to the left side of the restaurant so no need to street park! This place has been bookmarked and I will be coming back on my LA trips!! read more

Zacatecas Restaurant - Carne Asada Plate - Mexican Near Me - Hawthorne, California

WOW! First time ordering here and exceeded expectations. We ordered take out. They packaged the food well so it was still hot when I got it. We ordered the Tom Burrito, my husband didn't leave anything left he killed his plate! We also ordered 2 tacos governor and 1 chicken taco (hard shell). The taco governor had 6 big shrimps the flavor was there along with the bell peppers. The chicken taco was well seasoned and was not dry at all! I would definitely order from here again! I would want to eat there next time. In addition we ordered over the phone, the person over the phone was friendly when my husband picked up the food he said he was greeted quickly and had it ready to go! read more

Great food and great service! I placed a to-go order and everything was smooth and efficient from start to finish. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but they were packed and still handled everything quickly and professionally. When I got home and finally dug in, the food tasted amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The shrimp ceviche was the standout for me -- super fresh with the perfect balance of citrus and spice. Definitely ordering that again. Friendly staff, efficient service, and delicious food. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Found this place on Yelp and we were not disappointed! Parking right in the front of restaurant or street parking. Walked in, greeted and seated right away. We had 5 of us and it was busy in there, but we got a table! Yay us! We ordered drinks to start (margaritas and beer!) and we were excited for the food! We ordered burritos, chili relleno, and enchiladas. All were great choices and so much food!! It's too bad we were leaving back to Hawaii that night because we couldn't take the leftovers to finish later. Everything had great flavor. I really did love their chili relleno. Super tasty! The waiters and staff were super friendly and attentive! I highly recommend this place! read more

Delicious Mexican restaurant with changing specials available. Extremely friendly & happy service. They are delightful. Really attentive service, they make every effort to ensure complete customer comfort & satisfaction. They easily modified our orders to accommodate preference requests for a grilled meat & milder level of pungency with no problem. Restaurant has indoor booth seating, as well as Take-out. Parking lot spaces outside, & public street parking is available. Everything on the menu is quite large and portions are generous (it's like 2 meals for us). We really like the (huge) burritos; wet burritos; (fried flour shell) tostadas; tacos; & ceviche. We will absolutely return. Again, & again. read more
