    The vibe at night is cool and somewhat exotic. Bright colored neon lights. The drinks are delicious and the food just the same. The bartender was a very sweet lady. Great for night w friends on a date

    Came for TSITP watch party, and it was soo fun! They also had happy hour the whole time so that's nice. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu and it was good. Service took a while but they were packed! Asada tacos so were so good, can't wait to go back.

    [I regret not taking more pics - the place was so great I just simply forgot] Came here by complete chance, but I'm so glad we did! :) The tapas options are phenomenal! From the tacos and empanadas to the bacon wrapped dates and jungle fries, every choice was a great one! There was also a good assortment on beers on tap as well. The service was as on point as the food, our glasses were never empty, and they were on top of things the entire time. The ambiance was that of a Latin themed tapas bar. Music, plenty of people talking and enjoying the evening, and generally just a good vibe. :) I'd return there for sure! The food and service both were above expectation!

    HIGHKEY RECOMMEND CELEBRATING WITH ZAMA I decided to celebrate my birthday here the week before Thanksgiving and was so glad I did! I booked my reservation on OpenTable two weeks before and updated my reservation three days before the date. (this is a must!) We came in 20 minutes early, and our table was already ready. Complete with balloons and all, they were ready to celebrate with me! From the food to the service, everything was top-notch! I definitely recommend the espresso martini tower, the jungle fries, and the carne asada burrito- don't forget to make it wet! The biggest shoutout to Andy and Matt for making our dinner celebration flawless! The boys were sad to see that the game day menu wasn't an option for the evening so we will definitely be back to try that too!

    PSA// This review is based on the single drink I had here lol. But worthy of a s/o, the Cucumber Serrano Margarita here was one of thee best spicy margaritas that I've had-- and that's my go-to drink everywhere. It was the right amount of kick that blended very well with the tequila. They also know how to do a tajin rim the right way! Right consistency of chamoy and on-brand tajin.

    Lounge, a place to sit back and relax with the music to make your toes tap. Bar in the front and patio in the back with drinks flowing and delicious knick knacks. A perfect place to meet up with homies and besties. The atmosphere was old school when we came in so that was a plus for us. Our server was helpful and gave us great recommendations on food and drinks we should try. The bacon wrapped dates and the truffle rolls came out first and they were just perfect to start off with. Their margarita flight was also a hit with flavor and potency! LoL. Up next was the Birria tacos and ceviche and they capped off a delicious foursome of flavor as far as our tid bits go. The experience was a hit and honestly I think it's a perfect place to chill on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Parking is in the back for easy access. And that's my take, Peace

    1,000% YES I would recommend Zama Lounge in downtown Fullerton, especially if your server is Cierra!! She was super nice and very friendly from start to finish! Our Gold Elite Crew of 4 decided to meet here to welcome our East Coaster, Terri E. to the West Siiiiiide! Leonard A. is the head honcho who pulled it together, and we all had a great time. I was the first of the bunch to arrive, followed by Terri, Leonard, and Lynn. We pretty much got to pick where we wanted to sit, as the restaurant had just opened. The vibe is cool and casual, and they have a bar for all the pretty drinks you could ever want. We ordered some appetizers and drinks, and there wasn't anything we didn't like. What we got: Food: Chips and Salsa Shrimp Ceviche Truffle Roll Birria Taco Platter Bacon Wrapped Dates Drinks: Margarita Flights, Not Feelings! CUTE NAME!! Cancun Waters Breakfast Shot Cucumber Serrano Oasis Margarita Zama Fresca Mocktail I loved my Cancun Waters. It was just how I like my alchi: fruity, not too sweet, just the right amount of the good stuff, and BLUE! lol I ordered the Chips and Salsa when I meant to say guacamole, but Cierra was so kind and brought out some guac for me! We shared everything, and I think we all agreed that the Bacon Wrapped Dates are the perfect combination of sweet and savory! The Truffle Roll was bomb, and so was the Shrimp Ceviche. I didn't taste the Birria Tacos, but the group said it was yummayyyy and I believe them! Just looking at it made me want to inhale one, but I double stuffed myself that day, oopsie! The prices are average, the service is amazing, and there's a parking lot in the back of the building. I think you have to pay during the week, but I'm not sure since I didn't park there. There's also street parking. I highly recommend Zama for a date night or group date with your crew. Hope you have as much fun as we did!

    Nighttime bar vibe with dimmed lights around evening. + Zama Chicken Wrap ($16 + sub truffle fries $2): lotsss of thin, freshly fried truffle fries topped with chili flakes. Delicious chicken wrap, perfect ratio of juicy chicken, lettuce, tomato and melted cheese. (7.2/10)

    Margarita Flight
    Ray L.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon for drinks. Ambiance: 1/5 If you want a chill place to drink, chat, and watch some sports games, this is NOT the place to do so. The music was so loud that you're barely able to hear the people sitting next to you. This place also has an identity crisis, it a weird mix between a sports bar, cantina, a club, and a want to be high end brunch. I did not care for the vibes here. Service: 3/5 There was no wait to get a table. Once we got a table, it took some time before our waitress came and greeted us. It took even longer to get our drinks out and to get our checks at the end. Drinks: 3/5 We got a margarita flight which was pretty good. They flavors were unique and refreshing. It was very light in alcohol however. My favorite was the passion fruit one. My friend also order a Cabernet that he did it care for. He said it tasted too tart. I am not a wine connoisseur so I cannot speak on that, but they brought it out in a little vile and poured it into the wine glass. It felt u necessary.

    Came in today last minute. Missed the drag show but had such a good time! Our service was so timely, considering we were doing bottomless mimosas. The food was delicious and our server was even better! He was so fun and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks so much!!

    Celebrated my husband's birthday at Zama before heading out for more drinks & dancing. HIGHLY recommend. 10/10 The food was amazing in quality and flavor. Get the birria empenadas, you will not be disappointed. Or even just a simple carne asada taco, the salsa is bomb. Cant go wrong with either. Drinks and service were quick, friendly and sweet. Location is really cool with lots of nice decor and enough t.v.s for everyone LOL thank you, gabi

    This is a great place for date night or happy hour! The inside is clean and aesthetic. The service was amazing, everyone was so nice! Their drinks and food were so yummy! Definitely can't wait to come back

    Came here to watch love island at 8pm with a friend after work, super chill vibes. The staff was attentive, people were having a good time, and the drinks were GIVING! I tried the Jamaica Margarita and it was delicious. Would love to come back for other events like this.

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

I really liked the clarified strawberry drink, similar to strawberry and cream. I ordered a drink after that unfortunately forgot the name (photo attached with a tall glass) but there was no special cocktail craft taste to it. Just hard liquor taste and undrinkable :( the bartender kindly offered another drink. Unfortunately none of the food was the least bit good. Steak and fries was ordered medium rare and cooked to medium well with what seemed like no seasoning was on there at all. Crab cake was just ok and the slaw beneath it was drenched in a vinaigrette that was just sour and unpleasant. And the Mac and cheese, as we were very hopeful and looking forward to, was probably the blandest Mac and cheese we ever had. We asked the lady bartender for salt and she handed us, no exaggeration (and you guys will probably think I am) a salt shaker with 10 grains of salt in it and said "looks like there's a lil something you could still get out of there" My jaw dropped. But yeah. The shredded meat on top of the Mac and cheese was cooked beyond the point of edible. That one was unfortunately sent back bc we just couldn't eat it. We were bummed over all mostly about the food.

However, you don't always want to feel like you're trying too hard to change your scenery, bumping you too far out of your comfort zone. The answer my friends, is the good old classic American dive bar. Now, many places like to call themselves a dive bar just because they never clean a single inch of their establishment and have seedy patrons that love to play the more than occasional 80's songs on the jukebox but don't be mistaken, a good dive bar is hard to find. Well, I happen to have found one and it's in Fullerton of all places. That's right, Fullerton, not Los Angeles, nor Hollywood nor some pop-culturally over-hyped city. What makes The Blue Door a good dive bar? First, there's earned consistency & routine. The drinks won't always be made well, or the bartender won't always be attentive but if you come a few times, you'll soon know at what time and day the drinks are made properly by knowing the schedules of the bartenders. Secondly, the drinks are stiff, the service is friendly and nobody bothers you unless you bother them. The atmosphere goes from lively and loud to quiet and solitary, again depending upon when you visit. Lastly, they're open from 6:00AM-2:00AM. They're not just there when the hipsters are around, they're there for you whenever you make the bad decision of using alcohol as an anesthetic. Stay searching for the last remains of Americana my friends....

Their front of house focus is the wine bar, but they also have a good cocktail and martini menu, as well as a nice selection of food items. The interior is warm and cozy with two different seating areas. The larger front area has bar seating, quite a few tables, and a lounge area in the back corner with several couches. There is another area in the back which is smaller, and houses their cocktail bar and a number of two seat high top tables. You can order anything on the menu from either area. We sat at the bar in front for some Sunday evening cocktails and small bites. We started out with the spinach & artichoke dip ($15). The dip came out very hot, was a big portion, and was very good. However, the menu said it came with toast points, but instead it was served with tortilla chips which were just ok. The advertised toast points or fresher tortilla chips would have made this appetizer better. My first cocktail was the Limoncello Martini (vodka, fresh Limoncello, lemon juice, $15). I usually love anything lemon and this was a good martini with light lemon flavor. She started with the Purple Martin Martini (vodka, raspberry puree, pineapple, $15). This was another good martini with light sweetness from the raspberry and pineapple, not a sugar bomb. We wanted a little more food, so we ordered the Caprese flatbread ($18). It was a good size, and the dough was great. It had a good amount of cheese and tomatoes, and I really liked the balsamic drizzle on top. However, it did not come with the basil that was listed on the menu. Next, I tried the Peperoncino Martini (vodka, Italian Peperoncino brine, black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, $15). I loved this, one of the more unique martinis I've had. She liked her sip so much, she ordered her own for number three. Her second cocktail was the Carmel Apple Martini (carmel apple vodka, Licor 43, lemon, star anise, caramel cube garnish, $15). Most of the time, you would expect a caramel apple martini to be a sugar bomb, but not this one. The flavors were great with a light sweetness. And who doesn't like a caramel square treat? For my last one, I had the Cinnamon Sleigh (bourbon, cinnamon spice, maple, orange twist, $15). This was a good sipping finisher with light cinnamon notes and those great orange aromatics. KJ was our server, and she was very sweet and friendly. We came early in the evening and it was a little slow, so we chatting with her quite a bit. I'd take a half point off for the two food items not coming with the listed items, but rounded up to five stars overall. The bill had a 3% charge added for using a credit card. They have a music trivia night on Thursdays which would be fun to try. We enjoyed our first visit here, and will definitely return again.
