The food is amazing. It's a cool place if you need to get out locally for the sake of getting out. It was kind of weird that security was serving drinks and cleaning tables. The music was definitely mariachi which I don't have a problem with but not a preference. With this I'd still go back because the food was lit and fresh. If you're looking for a vibe it's not the place but drinks and a good bite YES. read more

This place is is corrupt. I spent $30 on 12 wings and 2 glasses of water. When i got the check it said $25 and some change. Gave them my card and the total amount changed to $30 and some change. They up charged me and that was without tip yet. I can only imagine what rhey do to people when they go there on a friday night or saturday night when they had some drinks in them. People need to watch out for this place look at your receipts. You may be getting screwed. Dont recommend this place read more

The micheladas are good. That's about it. It smells every when you walk in, like sewage. Service is good.

A little louder than it needs to be but good food and service. The fact that they weren't playing the nfl during the playoffs was kind of wierd though. Even if it was on Xfinity randomly read more

I've been coming here since Pre Covid; and let me just tell you Service has GONE TO SHIT. It's very unfortunate. Upon being greeted and walked to our table , I had to ask the waitress if should could wipe down the both as there was tons of crap still on it from the last table. She said she hates that "they" don't do that, and did it. So maybe that wasn't her job who knows. And then we sat for almost 15 min without a drink order even put in after she finally decided to come to our table she went over the order 3 times and not just at the table , but walked to her screen and back to verify and it was the most simplistic order I kid you not. And she still had it wrong. 1 dozen oysters 1/2 oysters 1 order of wings Literally that's it. She caught an attitude when I tried to tell her (1 dozen) means 12. And it's just like why wouldn't you be coached on that. It's a restaurant KNOW YOUR MENU. Once the order came out she didn't even bring silver ware and we literally went up to the host and got them ourselves . This was more of a self serve restaurant. At this point they should allow people to cook in the back. Server: Asia read more

Waitress took our order & then no where to be seen for 35 min then brought out the most simple dish ceviche & still had to wait another 10 min for our actual food. when food came out ranch looks like they poured water in it. & not once she didn't ever fill up our water... just standing in the front on her phone & ON TOP of that they have the audacity to UP the prices with the worst quality food & service -10000/-1000000000 never coming back. read more

Food was good, but service was bad.. waitress only checked up on us when we asked for ticket, music is good!! Is more like if you just want to hangout and drink alcoholic beverages!! read more

I had a great time here! They have specials everyday. Our waitress was nice and helpful. The paleta shots , pepino shots, vegas bombs were only $5 (we came on a Wednesday). Also they had a special on wings (7.99 on Wednesday). I was expecting 5-6 wings but ended up with 10! They're were very good!! Better than hooters recently tbh. Fun and energetic. Everyone was laughing and having a good time at every table. I would deff come back. read more

Service kind of sucks very inexperienced staffed have to ask multiple times for everything also they will try to charge you double on drinks stating that it was a double shot I don't know anywhere where a shot is 25 dollars when asked to speak to manager waitress states that she doesn't speak English stay away from this place until they do better read more

Zona Caliente Sports Bar - Outside - Sports Bars Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Me and 2 friends went on a Thursday night, it was pretty empty and they had lots of good looking waitresses though most didn't seem to speak English. We got chips and salsa, it was good. I got a chimichanga with rice and beans, it tasted good and was a really good deal for $10. We got 7 shots and had a good time watching the game and listening to music. It was pretty expensive but I'd go back. read more

We always get stuck with the new waitresses. All night we kept getting other people's orders. Foods ok. Kinda on the spicy side. Happy hour is good but over all we mainly come to watch the cowboy game. So today it lingerie night and just because I came with my bf we had to sit in the far back. Took forever to get our drinks and it was a slow day. So idk. Happy hour drinks are still good but come on. read more

Trash. Not busy Saturday and the place smells awful. Our table was not greeted until after 20 min of sitting there. We were then told they are out of towers at the moment. Keep in mind the places is half empty lol. The DJ sucked and the waitress are built like a block of cheese. read more

Was pretty skeptical about the place at first. But everytime I go the waitresses are always polite and the wings taste really good! The only warning I give is how obnoxiously loud the DJ can get. read more

Ew the rice and beans taste like fabuloso ewwww !!! Leaving all this food behind bc it so nasty. I want a refund ! The food did not taste good ! For some reason the food really taste like cleaning products I asked for sour cream to make my tacos taste better Dollar for a side of sour cream I went ahead and told the manager who's a women with black curly hair (working Saturday night) and she had an attitude about it! First thing she said when she walked to the table was "what's the problem " I'm really sorry but she was flat out being a bitch !!! She took the plate and rolled her eyes and didn't come back and apologize. lack of customer service, common curtesy , and intelligence. I have no idea who possibly made her a manager but she needs training on simple customer service!!!!! Not only that she was dressed in jeans and bommer jacket. So when she walked up I honestly thought it was a random girl walking up to my table. First time there and my experience was trash. read more

Zona Caliente Sports Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Wow! Wow! Wow! What can I say! I have never seen anything like this in my life. I thought I was going to get some tacos not to a strip club. Literally I was not prepared for what me and my boyfriend were about to See. The wait staff were all women dressed in lingerie including thongs and completely see through bras. One had on no bra at all and her breast were completely visible. Not to mention our order was wrong and the food was disgusting. A simple order of tenders, fries, and tacos. This was not what I was expecting and I will not be back. read more

On this beaten path is Zona Caliente. This place is best described as your local and average sports bar with a Tejano flavor and appeal. In a recently renovated spot that used to be a bar this place has large open seating. The booth seating is really spacious for large groups. The bar area is big and lots of bar stools and table top seats. Flat screen televisions are plastered from wall to wall for games or what not. I can't specify the target audience for this place but I think it's for anyone who just wants to try something different. The menu is a mix of Tex-Mex and American foods. Their street tacos are just average. I will come back for their burgers. The bread seems to be a sweet bread but not sure. It's really good that I'll be back for it. Service is attentive at times, not to bad for a few days after their grand-opening. I was expecting things like this to happen for the first few weeks after opening. read more

Awesome music, big beers, skimpy outfits, a man's dream haha. This place reminded me of knockouts but not as rachet. The girls are very nice and still take care of girls that are there. I went with a group of guys and assumed I'd be ignored but our server kept coming to check on me personally which I loved!! We went in on a fight night and they charge $5 cover for it which doesn't break the bank. After drinking for a few hours our tab was only about $150 for 4 people which isn't bad at all for the size of rhe beer we got! I was a bit under the weather and initially ordered some tea but they don't have hot water there so the server heated up water in the microwave for me . It was luke warm but I appreciated the effort lol overall this place was cool. I'll have to try the food next time! read more

This place was the worst place I have ever been during Covid. The waitress did not even know her menu. I asked her for the drink menu. I asked her what was included in my drink and she was like I do not know. She added her own gratuity which came out to $40. Her service was terrible and so was the establishment OMG please do not come here during a pandemic you're better off going to your nearest liquor store and serving your own. read more

Crappy shots for the price and they automatically added a $40 tip and the service was sub par. Manager said the gratuity was automatically added after $100 even though we had a table for 3. read more

Came in on a Wednesday night with my girl to have a few drinks and girl talk. They had a wing deal that was for $5.99 for 12 Wings, we split Lemon Pepper and Mild and it came with Celery and Carrots with ranch. They came out the kitchen temperature seriously hot and crispy they were really good. I had a Rum & Coke and my girl had a huge Shiner draft. It was big open sports bar and they were playing music with a D.J that was cool and lots of TV's to watch your favorite sports game. I would go back again on a Wednesday for sure to get that wing deal not sure what time frame it goes for but it was after 7:30. read more

Give it a 3 bc food was alright but the security guard took it upon himself to single me out bc I wasn't wearing a mask while I walked to the restroom. Nowhere did it say that upon movement from ur table u must wear a mask. So how u going to enforce a rule when ur customers don't know. So next time u wan to single out a Mexican think twice. Eye candy want all that great, don't know why they call it zona caliente. read more

I came a little late so I was only here for about 20 mins but our waitress was Alexa and she was really sweet.

Service used to be awesome until they changed manager and also change a lot thing like the music , they put the music so loud that you cant even keep a good conversion. Moreover the waitresses are unprofessional, rude, young and they are change constantly. My friends and I used to come here every single weekend , especially Fridays. Not anymore. I wish they could change that asshole that they have as a manger and I am sure that it would definitely go back to the place we used to love for hanging out on a Friday night. read more

The wings are really great. They fry them like you want them. On Wednesdays they have a special, a long with great margaritas. Nice atmosphere the staff is great as well. Try'em and you will like them as I did. They also have burgers and other great entree as well. read more

Worst service EVER!!! Sunday seems to be the waitress chill day! My waiter only came to my table 3 times! 1. To take my order 2. For a refill I have been waiting 15 minutes for 3. The check. I seen her walking around and talking to the off-duty cop for 20 minutes. Food was ok but could've been better, ordered street tacos that I have to put together myself. read more

BEWARE: Perfect place to spend the evening if you want to get over charged for items you have not consumed and then have the police called on you without you even knowing what's going on. Guess this is the kind of place Cardin B would be proud of. They train their waitresses to take advantage of the patrons, make them think they are too wasted to realize what they have actually consumed and overcharge them. Had this happen twice. Never again. First time I thought I was overreacting, this time I realize it their game. read more

Very good specials! Although drinks can be pricey but staff was really cool. Atmosphere very easy and casual

Food and drinks was good although I wouldn't bring children here. Went in on a Friday and the wait staff had on French maid outfits with thongs. read more

I love this place really good ceviche , they have ladies night on Thursday's so that a good seems like the only place around Arlington / Mansfield area that do . They only reason that I didn't give them a 5 star is because sometimes the waitress are really slow in bringing anything you ask for , but when it's a men asking for something they bring it to them super fast .. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I got tacos with rice and beans to go, when I checked the bag they forgot my salsas I specifically requested and lime, the tortillas were so hard it felt like I was eating chips the chicken was so dry and burned and the rice had this weird taste to it the beans were okay. SAVE YOUR MONEY. This place is shit never eating that crap again. Very unhappy read more

I came to this location on may 4th 2020. They had a special going on. It $6 pizza. Me and a friend tried the pepperoni and the pastor con pineapple. The food was good and so was the service. They had the 6ft rule in place and they did a good job at Enforcing. They had signs and the customers respectfully abided by the rules. It was about 6pm when I left and it was just good to get out of the house. I'd recommend this place again read more

Spare your stomach. I got the nacho and the elote. It was horrible, the nacho were just bad, like the meat was burned, the beans were gross, and I've never actually been disappointed by sour cream before. The Elote stunk, the corn was cooked so it was mushy and watery, the mayo wasn't very good, and when they say it has cayenne they mean it the corn was practically red with cayenne pepper making the whole thing unbearably spicy. Also most elote isn't like that. Elote is supposed to be corn with mayo, cotija (a very good Mexican cheese), a little of cayenne pepper and lime. I liked the drinks though, good beer selection and the sizes are big. Go for the drinks skip the food, you will thank me later. read more

First time here, always noticed it was busy. I looked over the very small menu and ordered the Mexican pizza. If you are into frozen microwaved mexican pizza then yes this is the place for you only $14.00. Sign out front said sports bar, nope mexican karaoke bar. Had to ask them to put the game on. First and last time. read more

Crazy loud music, early during evening time. So loud that you can barely have a conversation with the person in front of you. I ordered a tall beer which took about 10min to get and tasted water down and the waitress sucked! To eat I got the lemon pepper wings and those were pretty lame. Over fried and dried. Wingstops are way way better. Will not be going back, only reason I even went because a friend thought we should try it since it was in his neighborhood. It was basically a roadtrip since I am not even close to arlington. So I will not be going back. The DJ that night kept playing a mix of hip hop, tajano, mexican music and country. You cant even get a mood going because he keeps switching genres. Lame place read more

Popped in to this new sports-bar/restaurant on a Saturday afternoon to grab a bite to eat. We were actually heading to another restaurant in the same strip but my wife says "Let's try that place. It looks busy" so we did. The establishment sits on the corner of a strip mall so the entrance is situated at the apex of the building. There was a nice-sized patio out side but I didn't noticed any table service there. Mostly folks out on the phone or having a smoke. Walking inside we were greeted by a nice young lady who smiled and welcomed us to the joint. First impression was LOUD. There was roughly (I tried counting) 36 TVs mounted on the walls and behind the bar, all with the same channel....a soccer match. The broadcast sound was being piped through a house system and it was C R A N K E D up. Exactly what you would expect for a sports bar. No complaints here. It was probably 50% full and lots of big tables housing soccer fans and families alike. Besides the sports, this place is all about the BIG beers and the food. I noticed some yards out and about (3ft tall tubes filled with beer that they bring to your table) and some big schooners - 64oz'ers maybe. For eats I ordered the Caliente Burger and my wife had the tortilla soup. The burger consists of a good-sized patty (1/3lb maybe) with grilled jalapenos and Pico De Gallo on a toasted bun. The burger was hot and had a great sear on it. Those who know me know I'm a burger-snob, normally shying away from non-flame grilled burgers but this was an exception. It had a good bit of heat to it, which I was totally hoping for. With a name like Caliente, it better bring it. Well....it was broughted.. My wife's soup was more like a fixins-bar of soupie love. A big bowl of nice red broth accompanied by diced grilled chicken, shredded cheese, green onion and thinly-sliced jalapenos (possibly serranos). The broth was a deep red, slightly spicy, tons of flavor and you can tell homemade. Great base on that broth. The prices were very reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. The beers are relatively cheap for drafts of such large offerings. I can only imagine this place on a football Sunday. There were Cowboys jerseys on the wall so I'm sure they'll be showing the circus that is Jerrah's kids. If they mix it up with NFL Ticket, I'll definitely be there. Bottom Line: Go for the food and beer and sports if that's your thing. If you don't like loud places, think twice. read more

Although the wings are good. The staff was very rude and unprofessional! Once I finally got through the busy line, someone answered and when I told them I wanted to place an order I was hung up on. I called back and the girl who answered was extremely rude. If she doesn't like her job she needs to quit, it's not the customers fault. read more

We went for Grand Opening. Seated promptly. Ordered margarita on rocks and bloody mary. Came right out . Ordered elote and guacamole. Very delicious Wife ordered barbacoa tacos. Good flavor. Rice and beans needed a lil flavor.. I had spicy wings. Came out a little greasy and not spicy. Asked for some spicy sauce. Will have to go up on heat next time. If you want to hang with the Hispanic people you will fit in here read more

Unless you're a regular don't expect to have great customer service! Food is generic at best! The only reason I would frequent this establishment is because of one server, whom which is no longer there because of poor management and poor leadership! A good business starts at the top, Zonas lacks structure and it reflects with their customer service! read more

Loveeee this place! Such a good vibe and the music is good too. Went last week for my first time and sat at the bar... Priscilla Rendon took care of me at the bar... & i loved herrr! super sweet and she will definitely take care of you! read more

The business does not have any concern with the noise level of their business and how it is a nuisance for Eden Road Estates. Complaints have been unanswered. read more
