Truly top of the line service! I came with my dog on a hot day for lunch and not only did I get patio seating and food quickly, but also felt like the servers really made sure we were comfortable, from getting water for my dog to offering to switch my table to get out of the sun. I really was a bother (asking about orange juice which wasn't on the menu, ordering and handing off takeout to a family member down the street before paying...long story) and they were beyond graceful and trusting about it. And of course the food was so comforting to suit the atmosphere. I ordered the Albondigas con Arroz which was like a warm hug - and it came so quick even though it was busy! Would highly recommend visiting and sticking around here :) read more

New place for me - the description of the drinks was better than the taste - they didn't have the depth of variation that could bring the umpf out. All the sauces were quite unique - each has a strong flavor - if you liked Smokey, then you will enjoy the cashew salsa. You can ask the waiter to give you a habanero sauce - it was incredibly spicy and yummy!! Our server was very friendly and would give 5/5 for service. The ambiance and decor were also amazing! The tacos had various sauces that are quite unique - we had one fried with fish and one chicken with al pastor. read more

Simply put...overpriced average food with tiny portions. Tacos are $7 dollars each with absolutely no side dish. Not even a few tortilla chips. God forbid if you ask for fish or shrimp tacos, then it's $5 more for a total of $12 each. You probably have to eat about 3-4 to get full.. My son wanted a brunch item and it was 2:09 pm. We asked the waiter (guy), he said they stop serving brunch at 2:00 pm and couldn't care less to make an exception. Same guy, in the midst of our meal, walks out the door as I presume his shift ended. Not a word that he is leaving and some other lady just shows up as if she has been serving us all along. Very weird vibe in this place. Zero stars is all this place deserves. I am baffled how this place stays in business. Definitely a hard pass. read more

We came here on a Sunday evening to have dinner and a cocktail. It was absolutely lovely sitting outside. They have a covered area and a few uncovered tables. We were attended to immediately after sitting down. I ordered the Chimichurri hangar steak tacos. So good! I also had a vodka soda. They have so many varieties of tacos, can't wait to go back. Mind you there is only street parking. If you go around near the plaza and post office, you're sure to find parking. read more

Good apres bike riding spot for lunch. They offer indoor, sidewalk, and curbside seating. We elected to eat on the sidewalk to people watch and enjoy the day. Service is great and our food arrived exactly as ordered. They were very generous with the guacamole and chips! The tacos I ordered for my entree were a good size with great taste and texture. read more

Zona Rosa - Guacamole + Chips - Mexican Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Zona Rosa has gotten much better over the years bc I actually used to dislike it. I love their smoked cashew dip & shrimp tacos. Our waitress was really nice and the ambiance is great for going out with the girls. A great place for dinner & drinks. For those complaining about price for just "tacos" consider that this is an upscale Mexican spot and not a taco truck, it's nice to have upscale ethnic spots and Mexican food is not equivalent to cheap food. They are buying nice ingredients, the purple corn tortillas are clearly homemade, and the sauces are also homemade. read more

Great place for more authentic Mexican cuisine especially tacos. Everything is made fresh. Tried the 5 taco platter to share and the hangar steak was the best. Had a horchata, esquitas and everything was great. Friendly and enjoyable service. read more

Lively place with small seating area indoors. They have outdoor seating too. Had been there for girls dinner out, the drink menu and food was good. The tacos I ordered were a bit dry, were okay, could have been better, missed the usual condiments but my friends had good experience. The service was quick and very welcoming. Overall, would recommend this place. read more

A really lovely experience. They have great vegetarian options, and I will definitely be back!

Scallops tacos and wild salmon tacos are excellent . Service is friendly Sat outside was pleasant read more

I would give it a 3.5 if possible. Ambiance is great as the decor indoor is cute but outdoor seating on a good day is also very nice. Service is mediocre for me because both waitress and waiter were very nice and informative. The waitress provided us with recommendations and gave us information about dishes. However, it took forever for all of the dishes to come out. . Didn't seem like the restaurant was particularly bustling so service was pretty slow for what it was. The dishes were pretty good but nothing that blew me out of the park. I feel like I've been to similar restaurants with better portions and same flavor for less. Disclaimed: The tacos came in two. You have to order an extra if you want more. read more

Terrible service. If you would like to wait 30 minutes for two orders of dip and 1.5 hours for a round of tacos (closer to an 1:45min since they messed up the order initially) then come here! Even better they'll ignore you as you point out the significant delays in the meal. Food was okay - but I'll never bring anyone here again. Much better Mexican restaurants within a 3 min drive of here. read more

At 530 pm there were several parties lined up to check in. The first party 4 young girls were sat down by hostess (Jaiden). We all waited for him to wash their table, making another trip to get napkins and tableware. Next was our turn, we had a reservation. The hostess acknowledged us and said he would set our table shortly. He proceeded to take care of 4 more tables setting them up and never coming back but made us wait 10 mins. I was so overwhelmed with his blatant rudeness. He was horrible! It ruined our dinner! I have lived in Los Gatos for many years. We have had Mindy wait on us many times. There are many young people that want to work. Jaiden doesn't deserve to work there. I will not go to Zona Rosa again if that horrible hostess is working there. In this economy no one needs to be treated like Jaiden treated us. read more

Stopped by for breakfast while in the area. The restaurant was bright inside with natural lightning to provide a welcoming atmosphere. The server was very friendly and helped clarify questions I had about the menu. I ordered the Enchiladas Suiza which had tons of flavor and was the right portion size. Ordered the chips and guacamole with pistachios and bacon added on. It's a game changer for the dip and gives it a nice twist. read more

We love Zona Rosa! They have wonderful tacos (huge fan of the shrimp), exceptional quesadillas, the best Cesar and my husband's favorite, the ZR Hash on the brunch menu. Their happy hour is outstanding prices for outstanding food. Big shout out to Nicolas and Jesus. read more

Gluten Free Warning. We went to the restaurant because the menu leads you to believe most of the dishes are gluten free. They mark the few items that contain gluten. Finally, we thought we found a Mexican restaurant that had a lot of gluten free dishes to offer, including chips and guacamole. Unfortunately, that was not the case. They don't have a dedicated fryer, so it turns the where we thought 70% of the menu was gluten free, it turns out it is actually only 10-20% of the menu due to cross contamination. However, the food is incredible. I am not GF, but my partner is. The guacamole with pistachio's was fantastic. The chips are thick and crispy and the pistachios add a nice crunch. The empanadas are on the small side, but they have good flavor and love the sauce for dipping. I had the Al pastor tacos which were also very good. While my partner's choices were limited, they thoroughly enjoyed the salmon tacos. I really wish Zona Rosa would get a dedicated fryer. read more

The food simply good. If you're craving great Mexican food this is the spot. The tacos use fresh blue corn tortillas and a variety of fresh ingredients. The guacamole is outstanding. The table favorite was the crab ceviche tostadas. Simple delicious. Service was great. read more

The ambiance here is great- it's fun and lively and modern. The service was really good for how understaffed the restaurant was. There was only one server- with every table inside full and one outside- that's 11 tables. So we had to wait a good while to be greeted. But the server was hustling and he was on it after that. The food was good but nothing great. The enchiladas and fish taco were lacking in depth of flavor BUT the salsas from the tres salsa we ordered as an appetizer brought everything up a notch. Highly recommend getting the tres salsas as a starter to snack on and enhance your main course. We even mixed all three salsas together and it was really tasty. The perfect margarita definitely hit the spot. It was beautiful and tasted great. The candied orange slice was also a sweet treat. Yum! read more

Had dinner here again recently with friends and the experience was better this time. We stayed away from the nachos and had the bean dip instead - and that was a great choice. Very tasty. We also had the Esquites (grilled and seasoned corn) and that was very good too. For dinner, the four of us shared an assortment of chimichurri tacos and salmon. They were reasonably good - but would have preferred more of the sauces on the tacos. Overall, we had a nice dinner and we would come back. read more

We went to celebrate a birthday for lunch on a weekday. I made a reservation for 11:45, it was ok to have just walked in, no waiting. We ordered the dip trio starter, my favorite was the smoked cashew dip. It could use more chips. We had entrees, my favorite was the bass tacos , 2 per order, just the right amount. I was full but not overstuffed Everyone enjoyed their entree, the steak being very tender. We would come back to try more things. read more

Absolutely delicious food! A wonderful find in Los Gatos!! The margaritas are incredible and everything on the menu is amazing!

Wanted to like this place-cute. Food looked great! Taste ... BLAND. It's Mexican food so you should taste the different spices. And... it's pricey. Everything was bland: the chips and salsa, to the carnitas (tastes like an overcooked boiled plain piece of meat), chili relleno, guacamole... bland. The hero was the black beans which were flavorful and I had a strawberry Agua Fresca that was tasty (but at the price the very small juice glass size wasn't worth it). Dinner was almost $200 for 4 people and we had only 1 beer (no other alcohol). Definitely not worth the price but at any price wouldn't return because the food just wasn't very tasty. read more

Food was good and ambience excellent, I recommend it . Great customer service, the only bad thing is they only have one restroom.

The food here is really good! It's surprisingly small but there's outside seating which is on a busy street. Good selection of margaritas. We had the "perfect margarita" which was indeed almost perfect. Tacos were great. read more

Came in for dinner with some friends on a Thursday night and this is a cute little place. Made a reservation at 6pm and was seated at the right time. Started off with some drinks and I ordered the Farmarita, which had fresh carrot and ginger juice, however I wish there was a little but more as I could hardly taste it, only the tequila, which for some people may not be a bad thing! We started the food portion with some chips and guac which was good and the trio of dipping sauces were good as well, different, but good. One was a cashew salsa and the other was a pumpkin one, super fun and never had that before. The Tito's salsa was good as well, but more traditional. For my main dish, I ordered the Pesca Del Dia which id didn't realize was a whole fish (didn't read fully the menu)! This thing was perfectly fried and super fun to break apart to make my own fish tacos. It was accompanied by rice and beans and 3 handmade corn tortillas. The sauce was good, but a little sweet, but the fish was excellent. My gf ordered the alambre tacos and there were a bit of a disappointment. The chorizo and bacon overpowered the hanger steak and it just was very good. Our other friends ordered the pollo enchilada which the mole was a tad different than i am used to and super watery tasting... not the greatest. To finish the story, as we were being seated, one of the chairs had a nail sticking out and it punctured a hole in my gf finger... they did get us a band aide, but surprised they didn't replace the chair... maybe they didn't have any as this place is super small. Service was fair to slow, they were busy, but server never came by to check on us during the meal. Overall, this place is good, but nothing to write home about. read more

Great food and service. We have been to the one on the Alameda plenty of times, first time coming here. We got the enchiladas suizas and they are some of the best enchiladas I've had at a restaurant. Guacamole extra was BOMB! Service was great, our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. Only downside was the seating is cramped outside. It's like you're sitting on top of people or elbow to elbow with strangers so if you want to have a private conversation this may not be the place for you. read more

My wife and I enjoyed a late lunch at Zona Rosa today and truly had a wonderful time! Our server was cheerful and friendly and helped answer questions about menu items and suggested the better of two items I was interested in. She was also very helpful suggesting a nice reposado tequila. They checked on us a couple of times without over doing it. We ordered chips and 3 kinds of salsa. Yummy, from mild to zippy with surprisingly fresh flavors. I ordered shrimp and potato enchiladas with at least 3 kinds of cheese with an excellent well balanced verde sauce topped with sliced avocado. My wife loved their carne asada enchiladas with red sauce. She says the sauce had out of the ordinary flavors giving the whole dish an authentic comfort food vibe and was topped with pico de gallo. My wife also really liked the hibiscus margarita. We are pleased to recommend Zona Rosa if you're looking for excellent Mexican food that is wonderfully authentic and out of the ordinary! read more

The food is delicious, although the tacos for lunch are small, so most people would have to order something extra to supplement their meal. My husband would need 3 tacos and a side of rice and beans! read more

Very tasty, although expensive and not a ton of food for the price. The tortilla chips are amazing.

I was here for an engagement party and the ambience was romantic and intimate. Food was not impressive. The salmon tacos lacked salt badly and there was hardly any salsa on them. I also did not like the bacon in it. The hanger steak tacos were exceptional, not really anything to rave about but was way better than the salmon tacos. The guacamole oddly had pistachios and bacon in it. The cucumber basil margarita was yummy and refreshing. I would return here for a drink and an appetizer maybe. read more

The service and hospitality at this Zona Rosa location was top notch. Not to go into too much detail, but we had some "oopsies" and the staff/owner wanted to make right by it -- they went above and beyond needless to say we were taken care of! I was so incredibly impressed and so respectable. For that reason, I will be coming back. On to the food -- it was amazing! We ordered a couple of tacos, potato taquitos and the chili releno. So delicious! The taquitos were fried but weren't greasy, homemade tortillas are always a plus and the chile releno was different, but it was good! We sat outside which is always nice on a beautiful day! I went inside the restaurant and it seemed cute and cozy. I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time. read more

Dynamite Mexican food with upscale ingredients. From scallop tacos to an out of this world bacon pistachio guacamole, this place is doing some thing special. We came in for a snack, got excited about the menu, and ended up enjoying all courses and cocktails, too. The guacamole is nothing like you've ever experienced before. The bacon was sticking out of the top of it like a mini Stonehenge. The elote appetizer had a savory, charred flavor that was excellent. The tacos were excellent, and the ceviche was extremely fresh and delicious. We ordered the pumpkin horchata desert. I didn't expect these flavors to pair so well, but it was actually perfect. I mentioned that we went in for a small bite, but in the end we enjoyed all courses and left our plates clean. We enjoyed the hospitality, staff, and wide op n window on a lovely Los Gatos afternoon. read more
