Great ambiance and food the staff is very kind I recommend you to visit and they close at three in the morning on Saturday night

Great foo, great services everyone is so accurate and they take care of you really good Lili great job

The service was slow due to one person being on duty, the food.....it was really good. I went for the snapper that they didn't have but was on the way however the beef empanadas were a hit. I got wings, jerk chicken egg-rolls and a Cuban sandwich and my girl got the Caribbean burger which she loved. Over all the food was great and the service was good. We went on the a Friday during the World Cup. It was really slow but people were in there. Seems the weekends is a vibe tho so I'll check it out then. But it's a go. read more

The food was just good, I had the stew chicken and it was lukewarm. Everything else was OK. Extra charges were put on the receiit seems like normal practice , convenience fee for using cash and gratuity added to the total without consent. read more

I came here on New Year's Eve for dinner before the celebration started. Restaurant was nice and clean and full parking. Welcomed in with a lovely staff with seated immediately... Because no one was in the restaurant besides the ones that work there. They were already playing over overhead music so I'll be waiting for the food to arrive. My husband and I just saw a danced in the floor area and that was fun. Bathrooms are nice and clean love that Now for the food the grilled spicy shrimp is tasty. The empanadas were very good. We had stuffed shrimp empanadas which I thought was amazing. First time having that. Stuffed mofongo was a hit. We did have the churrasco steak and comparing it to the Steak that I had just a few weeks ago from another restaurant, the Steak just did not compare, but it was enjoyable. read more

Great service and great food! Very welcoming and lively! Elothy was amazing! Definitely will be back!

I have been to this spot several times but this was my first time in a long time (over a year). My coworkers and I decided to visit for dinner after work and I am glad we did. Although, the food was a little under par, the drinks were good and our server, Jennifer, was very sweet and pleasant. I'd come back just for her! read more

The food was awful. I ordered to go: jerk chicken, black beans, white rice, and plantains. Instead, I was given chicken swimming in the worse type of jerk sauce I have ever had. Instead of white rice and black beans, I had what I think was maybe fried rice mixed with maybe a teaspoon of green peas. I specifically ordered black beans, white rice an order of each. No of this was good, after tasting all it I dumped it. My lesson learned, always check your order before leaving the establishment. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed the vibes here. Growing up half African American and half Puerto Rican and my husband Honduran our taste buds was excited to try this place out one random Saturday afternoon. When you enter its looks like a spacious classy lounge with a fully stocked bar. The host and bartender was very welcoming. This particular day we were crazing Los Tre Golpes, which was a staple for us growing up. While it is not listed on the menu they do make it and with generous portions might I add. Their Zona Ceviche was so good all I need was some hot sauce to make it spicier. While waiting for our food togo, we both order drinks: My husband got the tropical mule which he described as refreshing and barely noticed the alcohol with the extra shot. I ordered the nonalcoholic pina colada and it was blended to perfection. It reminded me of the icey man/woman with the carts in NYC, where your choices were rainbow, coco, mango, or cherry (iykyk). We want to bring my in laws here when they come to visit. This restaurant is unique because they specialize in dishes from different countries and places the flag of that country next to the menu item. If you grew up with certain food staples this place is worth a shot. I cant wait to try their monfongo! read more

Went on a Saturday night with a friend of mine wasn't super crowded. My bartender was Pamela was very friendly and efficient. I had a chicken and shrimp empanada that was amazing!! The oxtail & rice and beans was delicious! Music was a tad loud but other than that everything was amazing. I also met the owner, I didn't get her name but go support this woman owned business. read more

Not amazing. Bartender was the server. He was kind. The drinks were far better than the food. We ended up taking our food to go after a few bites and threw the leftovers out without eating them. read more

3.5 stars. I've never had Haitian food before and have wanted to try it for the longest. I opted for griot and pickliz and while I loved the flavors and idea, I think Zona's execution could use some refining. My main problem was that the griot was rock hard. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, but if so I'm not a fan. The pickliz was delicious, as was the rice (seriously the rice was amazing). The plantains were lacking flavor. Overall I wasn't blown away but I'd certainly try this restaurant again. read more

Zona Caribbean - GRIOT AND PIKLIZ - Caribbean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

I love this place because it makes me feel like I'm literally dining out of the country. It features different carribean favorites from all over. Like Jerk Chicken from Jamaica, They've got Haitian black rice, Dominican style oxtails, etc. On the menu there are actual little maps next to the food items. The service is nice, there is a little bit of a language barrier but the ladies are beautiful l. The ambience is normal in the day and like a club at night. But I guarantee you will be full and satisfied. I definitely recommend this spot read more

Zona was a vibe, great music! The food was completely off! The chicken tacos were so salty I ended up with a severe headache after eating just one of them. The jerk egg rolls were missing the jerk and the drinks were just ok. read more

The staff was friendly, the place smells like smoke but it is a lounge also. It was nicely decorated for the Christmas Holiday season. Went here to celebrate a birthday because they wanted Caribbean food but it was not the best. We ordered appetizers and the shrimp empanadas were ice cold in the middle, they were returned and they cooked more empanadas. Same for the Jamaican beef patty, after second bite, I bit into ice cold meat. the worse. I told the waitress who seemed embarrassed because that was our second appetizer returned. She asked if I wanted a new one and said no, just make sure to tell the cook that they're not cooking all the way through. (I was still charged for it) I ordered a pollo a la brasa (grilled chicken) and the chicken was very dried And did not taste fresh at all. Disappointed In the food. read more

This was pretty bad. The rice was not consistently seasoned- some parts were overly salted while others were tasteless and dry. The same was true of the jerk chicken- awful. It was as if they used spiciness to cover up the lack of flavor. And it tastes like they cooked it in an oven instead of smoking it over wood on a fire- no smoke flavor at all. Will not be back. It is so hard to find good jerk here. Ive been living in Gwinnett after moving from Chicago for almost a decade. I had a craving and was hoping this would be the one- not so. So, my search continues. read more

Their drinks and food is really good. The service is always amazing, the ambiance scream lounge and outdoor seating screams bar and club. Owner is always welcoming and ready to help. 9/10 read more

Not so happy with this spot today. First time visiting after lunch hours. Went to celebrate with my people and was charged $14 for a shot of 1800. Which we bought 6 of btw lol and $11 for Patron. Never in my life heard of Patron being the cheaper shot. Was overcharged an additional shot of 1800 that we had to go back in to get a refund for. Food is still top tier but I really didn't expect those prices for a shot. Got charged gratuity for a table of 3 when we barely got service. Not happy. read more

Zona Caribbean - Caribbean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

My wife and I visited Zona for our date night on a Tuesday. I was intrigued by the menu, since it had several different cuisines from many Caribbean islands, from Jamaica, Haiti, Bahamas, & MANYYYYY more. The Parking: Free parking. Decent size lot. The Atmosphere: Zona is actually quite spacious. Due to COVID, all tables are separated with more than 6 ft. distance in between. There are also close to 3 or 4 booths to sit in, which look very "VIPish". It was chill vibes. They have great music playing while you feast. They also have several flat screens all over showing sports if there's a good game on. Zona has a stage as well, so I'm assuming they have live performances of some sort, but not sure how often due to Covid. Not only is there indoor seating, but outdoor as well. The Service: The service was Meh. Our waitress was VERY nice, but everything was so slow. Which made no sense, because it wasn't many people there. It took nearly 20 minutes for her to take our orders AFTER being seated. COVID: Hand sanitizer is provided at the entrance. All staff were wearing masks. The Food: Though everything looked good, I had to go with my heart and select the Jamaican Jerk Chicken, which came with rice & peas and plantains. Honestly, I've had better. The chicken tasted good, but it didn't taste like jerk, it tasted baked. It didn't even have a jerk flavor, but it was still good. I would've at least preferred some jerk sauce. It also wasn't spicy at all. The portion of chicken was rather small and per usual, overloaded with rice & peas. Shared Food: My wife and I shared the empeñadas & beef patties. DELICIOUS! This beef patty was probably the best beef patty I've ever had! I honestly wish I got more! VERRRRRY GOOD! The empañadas were also very good. Both came with different dipping sauces, but I like the beef patty for both the patty and the empeñadas. Overall, I'd like to come back and hope for a better experience. I'm giving Zona 3 stars for a one reason: The jerk chicken not tasting like jerk chicken & the super delayed service. Other than that, it wasn't that bad. read more

I got the fried snapped and it was SO good like truly one of the best snappers I've had. The jerk chicken is super good, very spicy and flavorful. The black rice is soft and yummy. The Pattie's are SO good. The chicken was my favorite. I'm not a fan of beef Pattie's but theirs was really good. It's so flaky and flavorful. Majority of the time I order it on Uber eats but I also went in person. There's a DJ and the music is very loud but it's a place you go to if you want that type of vibe and maybe if you want to dance. The service wasn't bad but the waitress was going to the opposite side of the kitchen to get water & I think it was a sink she was getting it from. That turned me off. The drinks were just ok. read more

Ep. 113 of AntlantaEats Stumbled across this spot from ONE single pic!...The PAELLA CRÉOLE ! (Seafood rice, shrimp, lobster, clams, calamari, octopus) OH MY this serves 2-3 people but forget that! It's all MINE! The Mofonguito Trio was amazing as well. 1 steak, chicken, shrimp. It had a creamy taste w/ an amazing kick thanks to the lite Jalapeños. One of the things that stood out the MOST is that on the menu you are getting the different cultures for example...one item can be from or or even very diverse menu. Note: Friday night, Ladies (group of Four) get FREE Hookah & Mimoas. Yup they said that!! read more

Looking for somewhere for Valentines, I decided to take my lady here. I was looking for something different, something that had flavor and a different type of environment. To be honest, I saw a picture that said that Zona did Friday night jazz. I called them and asked if they did do jazz that Friday, and the response I got was that they did. Thus, we came here to enjoy the music and also eat some food. Keeping with Valentine tradition, we shared all of our food. We got a couple of appetizers and a main entrée. The empanadas and the sampler which came with variety of items from their appetizer menu. The empanadas were seasoned well and was bursting with the flavor. To be honest, the sauce itself is unnecessary as all the flavor was in the bites. Sadly, it's only one, but on the bright side it's pretty cheap ($2.50/each). Get 3 or 4 of these and you're pretty much full. The jerk chicken was great. It was on the spicier side, however I think the one thing that stood out on this dish was the rice. I mean, damn that rice was freaking flavorful. I hardly eat rice anymore (only at times when I give in) but this was hard to stop eating because of the flavor. Mix the rice in with the chicken and you have a bit of a spicy/flavor bomb going on in your mouth. The fried plantains were pretty normal, and a nice side along with the chicken. Lastly, the music. Remember I came here for jazz music right? What we got was a one man band, who sang and also disc jockeyed for himself? Yeah, it definitely wasn't jazz which was a little let down considering the person who I called said that there would be. I guess, there was a bit of confusion and language barrier there where she thought I was asking if there was just live music in general. The staff was great and friendly. We even got a rose and dipped chocolate strawberries (bit too sweet for my taste), which topped off a great evening/night. If they were to offer jazz music or something with a live band (and not a person who's playing songs off of a laptop), I would definitely come back. Even if there isn't, this place is a solid choice for eating Caribbean food. read more

Love this place. The service is ALWAYS top tier. The food ALWAYS delicious. I've been numerous times and I'm never disappointed. On this occasion I had the grilled chicken breast with onions. Those onions were cooked to perfection. Hubby had the Rabo (oxtail). And he loved it. He always gets it. I've also had the spicy shrimp and it's so good. Definitely a great spot to grab you some food and listen to music. read more

The food was pretty good here. I had the onion steak, bean W/rice, and sweet plantains. The only complaint is there are so many vent blowing my food was instantly cold. Aside from the, the steak was flavorful and juicy. The pinto beans were perfect. Not ok watery or too thick. They have some nightlife here and one day perhaps I'll check that out. read more

Live music is advertised to start at 7pm on Friday. Maybe more like 7:30pm. The jerk chicken is a must have. It was such a good dish from the rice to the plantains to the chicken itself. So much flavor. Staff is super friendly. read more

Zona Caribbean - Complementary strawberries on Valentine's day - Caribbean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

So this establishment is actually pretty good. It's not overly priced, you can have some very reasonably priced items on the menu. They have some pretty good flavor to it as well. But that's what you would expect from a Caribbean spot. The drinks are good, not super strong, but not weak by any means either. I stuck with the jerk chicken. Because I feel like if I go to a Caribbean restaurant and then jerk chicken is bad, then everything else is not going to sit well with me either! But the jerk chicken was not super impactful when it came to spice but it had a good flavor to it. We came in and had about 30 people with us. And they were able to seat us in accommodate so that worked out really well and I appreciated that because it's hard to come in with that many people and expect somebody to see you and be prepared to take your order. Good customer service. Everybody is really friendly. I would go back. read more

This place has AMAZING food and I cannot express that enough. Let's start with the vibes. When we first walked in, it took them a while to seat us although the place was not packed, but we were so excited to try the food, that we really overlooked how long we waited for anyone to acknowledge us. When we were seated, our waitress attended to us and frankly, she wasn't the nicest. This was earlier in the pandemic when we were all being very cautious and she was not at all. Her mask was below her nose, she was touching our cups at the mouth, she would cough on the side and it was rather scary at that time to experience that. But AGAIN, we excused that because we had heard great things about the food and just wanted to get to that! We ordered the spring roll appetizer and they were amazing. For my entree, I ordered the oxtail with white rice and bean (I can't remember the Spanish term for it so please excuse what I wrote on the picture if it's wrong). It was amazing. I cannot emphasize enough how good it was. It was such a good time also because of another worker who came and spoke with us about his life and made it extremely personable. I really wish he was out waiter because our original waitress was just really passive throughout the entire night and we were extremely kind to her. Anyway, I wish we got to stay for the DJ who starts playing much later in the night, I'm sure it would've been amazing. read more

Zona Caribbean - Rabo Guisado - Caribbean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

Exceptional service and great food. Loved how the booths were spaced out (perfect for social distancing). Ordered the salmon over the zona salad and I got it blackened. The food was delish...drinks were okay a little sweet for my taste. Menu prices was reasonable and hookah was great and we enjoyed the mango and pineapple. Music and dancing was great. For some reason I thought this place was a West Indian spot, but it's definitely not. More latino, but the DJ tried to mix it up a bit and we enjoyed watching everyone dance. The space isn't large, but it was clean and really nice with tv's around to view the game as well. We will def be back! read more

Took my friend here for her birthday on a Friday at about 8:30pm. The place wasn't too packed and it had a nice little Spanish feel to it. We were greeted by a waitress who didn't speak much of any English. We weren't sure how the experience would go, but she was patient and pleasant and we did a lot of pointing. We started with drinks and appetizers. I ordered the mango margarita and it was delicious, she said she made it nice and strong! My calamari were ok. Then onto the main course which was the Churrasco with salad. This was seasoned well, cooked to perfection at medium and overall very flavorful. This was overall a great experience, we even got a piece of cake from a birthday party happening since we joined in on the singing. I will definitely be back here again, maybe even for Friday night Karaoke. read more

Very cool spot with good energy and good service. I had the sapper and black rice. MY FOOD WAS EXCELLENT!!!

I ordered for pickup and the place was clean and not packed due to COVID-19 but that staff were friendly and efficient. I had more than enough food to share once I got back home. The portions were large and enough for leftover. The side order of fries is definitely a portion that can be shared between 2 people. The shrimp were jumbo and the batter was a great balance to the shrimp. It was light and fried nicely. The catfish nuggets were plentiful and various sizes. There were plenty of hot sauce, tartar sauce and cocktail sauces as well. I would recommend this place and I will be returning. read more

I had the Salmon and rice dish and I enjoyed it for the most part but the portion was not as big, saying that I would go back to this place

Inside is very clean and nice. I've tried the beef patties and jerk chicken spring rolls. Both were good but beef patties were amazing. Loved the sauce that came with it. I am giving three stars because it was very disappointing that the staff were not diligently wearing mask. The woman and man cooking in the kitchen had no mask or only had mask covering just the chin. The server at the bar also had mask covering just the chin. That's not good. Please take this seriously. If the staff were all wearing mask I would give four stars. read more
