Great Place, especially when you want a gluten-free AND vegan/vegetarian option for a change. Fun & relaxing vibe. Awesome service. I had a delicious watermelon lemonade that the bartender made this morning. Loved the place. And don't get confused by the "For Sale " sign outside. They're open. read more

From all the good reviews, I expected something much better. The seating is ample. The atmosphere is beach-bar style. Our server and the employees were friendly but kind of distant. We ordered some beer on tap but mine was flat. Chips and salsa are not complimentary but we ordered some to try anyway. The chips were fine but the salsa was boring with too strong of a tomato flavor. For food we wanted to try their "amazing" tacos, as some reviewers claim, so we ordered the Carne Asada, Beer Battered Fish, and Pork Belly tacos. They all looked amazing but after tasting them, we were disappointed. Nothing terrible. But the flavors were just bland. The meat for the Carne Asada was cut into tiny cubes so was a bit dry. The beer battered fish could have been a frozen fish-stick and I wouldn't have known the difference. The guacamole was bland. The pico de gallo, like the salsa, had too strong of a tomato flavor. These tacos were not amazing at all. At $4-$6 a taco it seems a little over priced for how small they are. Take into account the lack-luster flavors and this place should be a hard pass. I do not recommend. It's a bit disappointing because a friend who was with us really enjoyed this place some years back. Unfortunately, it seems to have lost what it once had because we were not impressed. Perhaps they can make some improvements and get it back. But until then, I do not recommend this place unless you're desperate for tacos. read more

The fish tacos were delicious and they were awesome for my kid with a peanut allergy. The passion fruit coconut lemonade was so delicious and the pina colada (both virgin and not) was delicious too. read more

Delicious food, tasty drinks, and great service! The tacos are some of the best! The guava margarita is a must!

After a day scuba diving, this restaurant was the perfect place for a "snack" mid-afternoon. The tacos were incredible, the lightness of the breading of the fish taco was a delight. The hot sauces are fun and clearly homemade. The hibiscus mojito was incredibly refreshing after a day on the water. The environment was fun too - a covered back porch with multiple levels and a friendly rooster wandering about. read more

Where is the must to go place in the island? ZACO'S TACOS!! Everything was soo yummy! We came here for dinner. The atmosphere is super relaxing and the food is amazing. Food price is quite reasonable for the portion. Drinks are OK but not good enough for the price. Zaco's Tacos is my favorite place to eat on Culebra. If you haven't been Zaco's Tacos, then you haven't been Culebra. Come check it out! read more

The food was very yummy and the overall ambiance of the restaurant was a beachy Mexican paradise. The only complaint is that the food is too good and I am now addicted. read more

Since the change of ownership there are a few changes. The ambiance is still great. They no longer offer a la carte tacos. You must get 3 of one kind, which does not allow you to try the variety. The tacos, mojitos and margaritas were very good. The service was good, we got the hot sauces delivered to the table, which was nice of the waitress to accommodate. read more

Fun place to go to on Culebra. Had the quesadilla and it was very tasty. The salsa had a good taste to it too. Had the house margarita also and they were not stingy with the alcohol. The waiters were fun and personable too. Very good!!! read more

I will be back! read more

So bummed to have been treated so poorly because I really hate being the guy to write a negative review. We eat here when we sail to Culebra and usually get great service and food. Today, Karen (not sure if she gave us the correct name) was so incredibly rude we just had to leave. I'm bummed because it could be a great place and I'm not a hard a hard guy to please...try Heather's Pizza. read more

day tripped to culebra yesterday and found this great spot! we sat at the bar and the bartender was awesome for telling us the best places to check out on the island. very personable and friendly! we also met two residents who were at the bar and they were absolutely wonderful! they ended up giving us a ride to the golf cart rental place and were some of the nicest people we'd ever met. now, the tacos. OMG! the pork belly should be entered into a contest. it's so full of flavor. the carne asada was also delicious. the 'burns at both ends' sauce was the best BUT all three of them were super good! thanks for the great time! the only reason for the non five star rating was because the margaritas we ordered were not very strong. couldn't taste the alcohol, but the cucumber flavor was refreshing as all get out! read more

They will accommodate for vegans here. I ordered the burrito with no cheese, and no sour cream. The burritos are very filling here. They are by no means small. The burrito comes with chips and salsa. The drink that I went crazy over was the spicy ginger lemonade. It's honestly so good that I couldn't stop ordering it. If you are vegan stop by! read more

Nice place with good food and drinks. Fish tacos (not tuna ones) were delicious. Others were Ok. Note, that four tables in the center of the restaurant are not under the roof!!! So unless you are ready to get wet and moved to other table in the middle of your meal don't take those tables. We got unlucky and it started pouring when we just got our food. What might be ok for a couple as a romantic experience was certainly not OK for a family with 4 kids including 2yo letting parents to eat only with a help of iPad. The whole experience was ruined, unfortunately. Food was good, but we couldn't enjoy it:( (Visited in Feb 2017) read more

Really nice atmosphere and great food. The Elote (corn on the cob) was superb. So were the tuna and bean tacos. Don't add hot sauce to the tuna taco! It's perfect as it is. If you like hot sauce, bean tacos with "hotter than your mama" red sauce are yummy. The winner tho was the peanut pie. Holy smokes! Really flavorful and creamy. The only thing I would have liked was better service. Waitress was nice but not attentive. We didn't have utensils or napkins. I had to stand up several times to get things and that was kind of disruptive. Overall, very good meal. read more

Best carnita tacos !! Super cool vibe. They even sell zaco taco shirts. Definitely worth your time going if you are in the area.

Hands down Zaco's Tacos is my favorite place to eat on Culebra. Seriously, they have some of the best tacos I have ever had and the drinks are out of this world (and they have a great selection of craft beer!) The atmosphere, like all of Culebra, is super laid back with tons of chickens walking around. Their hours seem to be a bit variable (the first night we were there they were closed for a community event and we tried to go to the Sunday brunch advertised online and they were closed), so be sure to take advantage of Zaco's Tacos as many times as you can while on Cluebra! You won't regret it! read more

Doesn't look like much from the front but the patio out back is great. One wall is the bar and has a wall of tequila. We had the carnitas tacos, elote, cucumber jalapeño margarita and mojito. CUCUMBER JALAPEÑO MARG is the best drink. The nachos and elote were great too. Definitely come here read more

Came recommended by our shuttle driver. Cutest spot, walkable from the ferry. Definitely very modern. I ordered the chicken quesadillas and my boyfriend ordered a chicken burrito before we headed for the ride home. Wish we could have stayed and had some margaritas because the bar was so cute, well decorated, and the incense they were burning smelled amazing. Shaded patio too. Our waitress was so cute and service was fast. The bathrooms were also spotless. Don't miss! read more

Ambiance was great pretty good. It's a cool spot and has more of a bar than restaurant vibe. We only came here (after trying to sit at 2 other restaurants) because nothing else was open if you arrive on the later ferry. If you're visiting with a larger party, we had 6 adults and 2 children, they might not be able to accommodate easily. Service was not great at all! You will wait at the entrance, which is corded off, for a while before anyone will notice you, then tell you if they will be able to seat you and when. There was 1 food runner who was obviously very busy with every table. There was 1 bartender that was doing his best and also running his drinks to the tables. Our server took our order after waiting for about 10 minutes, forgot to enter our order of nachos, but the rest of our order came out correct. However, the server just left at some point and we never saw him again. A different worker, (out of a few others that seemed to just be hanging around the register) that just happened to see us looking for our server came to finally give us our bill and acknowledged that yes, the server had just left and he did not know why or even if the server would be coming back. As a Mexican person familiar with authentic Mexican food, the carne asada was flavorful, but the tortillas and/or asada were a bit greasy, leaving a not so great aftertaste. It's not possible to order a side of avocado so I can only assume the guacamole is premade, not fresh. You have to request salsa. I asked for the hottest salsa, they served a green salsa which was actually spicy and flavorful. However, $20 is a bit steep for 3 tacos de asada. Again, nothing else was open. On the plus side, the guava margarita was great. Overall, if you're Mexican familiar with authentic Mexican food, you'll want to pass this place up, unless you just want a good cocktail. After all you are in Puerto Rico and Mexican food isn't probably the number 1 choice here as a visitor of color. You will be better off getting some Puerto Rican food at a different establishment on the island. read more

Fish tacos, fresh margaritas and the service, were all wonderful!! I felt this restaurant was underrated for how charming it is. You definitely feel like you're on vacation here! read more

Restaurant was very busy and there was only one server, one bartender, and two guys who appeared to be front of house and back of house managers. The teamwork was clearly visible here and I commend those working for doing such a great job of it. The food was very very good, came out quickly, exactly as described, and not outrageously priced like most destination islands. Try the fresh margs. Honestly, I was apprehensive to visit bc of poor reviews I'd seen previously. SO GLAD I didn't listen to those! The ambiance was phenomenal as well. It was like sitting on the back porch you always dreamed of! read more

These are the best tacos I've had! It's a shame we couldn't be seated inside due to the water situation but the drinks and food were excellent. read more

The food is really good, but the sauces are what totally make the taco. My boyfriend and I were literally begging them to let us buy a jar from them, but they wouldn't (so we just went back for dinner to get some more). The service is pretty slow if you're still living in mainland time, but once you convert it to island time, it's pretty fast. The servers and bartenders are SO nice and friendly, they help make the atmosphere even greater than it already is. The hibiscus and mango margaritas (get them blended) are a MUST. They are perfect complement for each other. And the Rudo's nachos have both chicken and carne for only an extra 50 cents, and it's totally worth it. As I said above the food is delicious. They put sour cream on their fish tacos, but I prefer it without. It all has so much flavor that they don't need it at all. read more

Are you in Culebra? If the answer is yes, then you should make your way over to this oasis of taco goodness. The beer is cold and the drinks are refreshing. If they have the passion fruit monitoring, go for it. The tacos come one per order, which I prefer bc you can mix it up a little. I'm a pescatarian, so I had both types of fish tacos and the tofu taco. All of them were awesome and I'd probably order the same thing again. My husband and our friends loved their meat tacos. The space is simple and natural. The staff is friendly and provide great service. read more

As soon as our friend found out we were visiting Culebra, the first thing she said was you need to eat at Zaco's Tacos and we did! Ambience was great, very relaxing and friendly. We ordered the regular nachos, Thai shrimp and pastelon, everything was delicious! FYI on Fridays the menu changes, we'll have to come back to try the standard items on the menu. Thanks for a great dinner. read more

Finally got to try this place. Didn't realize they were on summer time already! Note that their "summer hours" are Monday through Thursday. Funky casual ambiance and very good tacos. Burritos are huge and the one he had was good (per my husband), but I think my tacos were better. Especially like the pork belly (I got it without onions) and also the fried fish. Tacos are soft, warm, and fresh. Sauces on the side range from hot to hotter (I'm a wimp). Also enjoyed the cameraderie of sitting at the bar... Where you can eat too. Behind it is a drink only area then downstairs there are quite a few tables. It's open air (so no a/c) but there are some fans and an occasional breeze... Tried a coconut lime drink that was very refreshing and a nice change from the typical. Bottom line -- if you in Culebra during the week, try to come here at least once. read more

Zaco's Tacos has everything I love in a restaurant! Tasty hot sauces (mmm Hotter Than Yo Mamma), delicious margaritas (try the taramind or hibiscus), cheap beers, friendly neighborhood bartenders (hi Joe), and fun outdoor seating (with lanterns!). Oh right and the tacos - they are amazing. Seared tuna was my fav. Zach and Monika do a great job with this little Mexican restaurant, serving freshly made tacos always changing up the specials with additions like shrimp or filet mignon tacos. Between the 10 of us staying in Culebra for the week we must have eaten over 100 tacos! Not to mention their excellent burritos (so I hear) and Bushwhackers. The only bad thing about Zaco's is the days they are closed! read more

I can't believe that the best Mexican Restaurant of all Puerto Rico is in this small, wonderful Island of Culebra. This place not only has a variety of Tequilas, but the "Carnitas" are amazing! Loved the burrito I ate, but the 12 small tacos my friends ordered looked and tasted exquisite (according to them). I had 2 tequila shots to taste some new flavors, enjoyed the vibe and look of the place, and the balcony outside with like 7 tables is simply the Culebra with a little Mexico look. It's a good stop to eat for cheap and tasteful experience. Although, being in Culebra is about the ocean, beaches, and it's secluded cultural. This place is not something between those, but it does hit your appetite right! Arriba Zaco's Taco!! read more
