food was surprisingly good for the location and the sus looking decor. shrimp in the tostada bowl were fresh and nicely charred. the chilaquiles looked pretty good too and came with two eggs (!!!). the restaurant is def more casual/kitschy but good if you're an intern in the area looking for a cheap meal hahaha. read more

Food was 10, I had the bbq quesadillas and elote! The calamari was great too. We asked the service team to cut down the music and they did.

I walked by this place on the way to another place, but I was suddenly inspired to measure it a margarita night! It didn't disappoint! Jimmy as the bartender. At first, he was kind of a stick in the mud, but once he warmed up, he was pretty cool. Good place! I'll come back later and eat the food when I'm hungrier, but today it was nothing but MARGARITAS and JIMMY! read more

This was my go to lunch spot when I worked at the college, was great to have it again. Their tradition did not change- always ending our lunch with a shot on the house The food is always perfectly seasoned - IMO. They're so quick, especially during the lunch rush. Love that they're always attentive. The bartender realized that my friend is Muslim and gave her a shot of sprite instead! Definitely miss this place and can't wait to return again! read more

Zona is my Mexican "go to" in my neighborhood. The food is delish and a good value for Tribeca- great steak salad, quesadillas, wings, burritos and tacos- the tempura shrimp tacos are fantastic and Jimmy makes a mean skinny Cadillac margarita. But the people are what keeps me coming back- every single person who works there is a warm wonderful human and they treat you like family!! Jimmy, Vi, Magda, Claudia, German, Carlos, Guasco--the list goes on. Treat yourself to a great night out! read more

Staff were lovely, accommodating and the really on their game. Chips and salsa and water were dropped off immediately after I sat down (and the chips were nice and warm). Marg was ok, maybe a little too much sour mix for me, but it was a nice pit stop walking around the city all afternoon. read more

Zona Tribeca - Chips and Salsa and a small marg on the rocks - Tacos Near Me - New York, New York

I have been to Zona Tribeca at least four times, and three of those visits were amazing. The food has always been great, with solid flavors and quality ingredients, and they have a nice selection of drinks that pair well with the meals. It is a comfortable spot to unwind, enjoy some food, and have a few drinks with friends. On one visit, we asked for some extra chips and were told there would be a charge. That felt off, especially since we had already gone through several rounds of beer by that point. I am not looking for free handouts, but it is just something small to snack on while waiting for food. On our other visits, they actually gave us chips for free, so it seems to depend on the server or the moment. Just something to be aware of. That said, the food has always been consistently good. I tried the taco platter, which was a great way to enjoy a variety of tacos in one meal. Keep in mind the tacos are on the smaller side, more like miniatures, but they are flavorful and perfect for savoring the appetite without feeling overly stuffed. Overall, despite the inconsistency with the chips, Zona Tribeca delivers on food and drinks, and it is a spot I continue to return to. Good atmosphere, great flavors, and worth visiting if you are in the area. read more

Drinks are fabulous. Some food is spectacular but some like nachos can use some improvement. Shrimp tacos...awesome! read more

I work at a large company in Tribeca and with very few options for team outings nearby, Zona Tribeca has become our "go to" spot. We've had countless lunches and happy hours here, and all have gone well. When I organized a larger team happy hour here, German was my main contact and did a great job in coordinating reserving the back room and making sure our group was taken care of. I've enjoyed the food and drinks. We always get complimentary chips and salsa - love the salsa, spicy but not overkill. I always order the chimichanga with chicken - it comes with refried beans and rice. So much food and so good. My coworkers have gotten the Tostada Bowl, tacos, and enchiladas. The margaritas are yum! I've enjoyed all of the various flavors, but usually stick to traditional. We've only come during daytime hours and right after work and there's been plenty of space inside and out, with the large outdoor dining shed. However once I stopped in later in the evening and it was popping! So crowded - I was surprised. Think I'll stick to work hours. I would highly recommend Zona Tribeca, but almost want to keep it a secret so it doesn't get too popular! read more

we had a group of 9 and the service was quick for a large group. I got a Passion Fruit Frozen Marg and Veggie Quesadilla - both came out fairly quickly. I liked that the margaritas came in two different sizes (I chose the smaller one while the large is 20oz). However, the food didn't impress me which is why I am giving a 4 star. The bathroom is in the basement and can be more well lit. read more

Really nice location and a big space indoors and outdoors. The food is subpar. It wasn't that crowded when my husband and I arrived. We sat "outdoors." They invested into a cool heating system for the outdoor area. We got chips and salsa and absolutely devoured it because we were starving. We ordered the 12 tacos thinking they were the regular size tacos we usually get anywhere we go. The cost for 12 tacos was $60 ($5 a taco). We were able to choose up to 4 types of tacos but we chose 3. Initially I told our waitress we wanted shrimp and fish in which she replied "ok, 6 and 6" then my husband added that he wanted the Al pastor too. So 12 divided by 3 different tacos would mean we would receive 4 shrimp tacos, 4 fish tacos and 4 al pastor tacos but we received 3 shrimp, 3 fish and 6 al pastor. We were so hungry we didn't complain and what would they have done? Didn't want to waste our food. These tacos were mini tacos...1 shrimp on each of the 3 tacos we received. Overall, Zona Tribeca's portions are extremely small but luckily there are many other restaurants in the surround area. read more

On a Wednesday evening hanging out in NYC, I came here with my girlfriend and a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. We made reservations in advance and got a nice big table in the back room of the restaurant, which I really liked. We all started out ordering some drinks. I tried the red sangria as well as a passion fruit margarita. The sangria was pretty good, but the Margarita was excellent. I enjoyed this flavor one specifically, but others at our table ordered different margarita flavors, too, and they all enjoyed them as well. After chatting with the group for a while, we then ordered our meals. My girlfriend and I split the steak fajitas and carnitas quesadilla. I loved the steak fajitas, as the steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The carnotas quesadilla was just average to me. Maybe it was the pork I didn't care for. Others ordered the steak quesadilla, and I tried a piece of that one too, and enjoyed that way more than mine. So, in my opinion, get a steak dish here, as you won't be disappointed. Overall, we had a fun night out and enjoyed this place! read more

Shout out to Jimmy, the generous bartender! The frozen margaritas are actually great - I had the guava and mango and both tasted really good. They have a nice patio up front and a larger restaurant area in the back. They played some great Latin hits and have a sweet happy hour deal until 7pm. They also provide complimentary chips and salsa so that's always a plus. :) read more

Went there with a few people for lunch. We all unanimously decided we are not going back. Tribeca prices as expected (that's to be expected so that's not a problem). Food was mediocre, Service was poor - the waitress got two people's side orders wrong- we did not bother telling her. When we asked to split the receipt- she said no. So we said ok- for some reason when we asked for a detailed receipt - she said she was too busy and said she had no time. That was weird. read more

I came here for brunch for the first time during COVID19 times (they have a lovely outdoor seating area) and I really liked this place! The staff is super nice, the service was great! The food and drinks are very tasty and inexpensive, they even offer you complimentary chips and salsa! We shared a pitcher of guava frozen margarita, it was sooo delicious! Great value, we were in 4 people and each person was able to have at least 2 glasses. My friends also had the passion fruit frozen margarita, which they really enjoyed. We shared the guacamole with mango, very fresh!! I had the veggie burrito and I also really liked it - it wasn't heavy and I enjoyed the side salad and sauces that came with it. My friends got different types of quesadillas and the pancake, everyone was happy! read more

You can't go wrong coming here--delicious, inexpensive food, friendly staff, and ample seating. I always enjoy a place that gives chips and salsa as a standard intro, like bread and butter/oil, and the chips and salsa here were awesome. Also, the crowd for lunch isn't bad at all; we got here around 12:15 and there was plenty of seating in the back. This is a good casual spot for lunch and dinner; I'll definitely be back. Harrison Street - At $14, this meal was perfect. The chicken enchilada was completely smothered in cheese, which definitely made the dish look especially appetizing. Under that cheese was tender chicken and a flavorful enchilada casing. The beans and rice were excellent accompaniments as well. Although I foolishly waited until nearly finishing to eat my guacamole taco, it was a solid item on its own. Ideally, I would have eaten this with the enchilada, taking advantage of the chicken and cheese, but that'll be for another time. Portion-wise, this is a fairly large dish, perfect for someone who likes big portions. Price: 5/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

After being seated, within 5 min we had chips, salsa and water. Then no waiter/waitress for about 20 min. Watched the hostess and two waiters argue over who had what tables while also pointing at tables. Then after another few minutes the waitress finally comes to our table. Food is overpriced, small portions (we're from Texas, maybe that's why?), asked waitress for cheese...it never came and she never realized it either. Highly disappointed!!! We gave them one star just for the chips and salsa. read more

Came out of Yelp retirement to write the review that this place so deserves. However, no amount of words in the world would be enough to truly convey the absolute excellence that this fine establishment has to offer, my vocabulary also does not reach as far as it should in taking on this endeavor. The drinks, food, outdoor setup, safety measures, and ~vibes are 12/10 and still pale in comparison to the amazing staff members/level of service provided. I discovered this place in the throes of the summer of covid with a friend, and I have since secured a standing reservation here every weekend. The outdoor setup is stellar, the securing of the aux is above and beyond, the marg pitchers keep us coming back, and the complimentary shots have us facing early death and enjoying it. I've celebrated everything from birthdays to post-marathon festivities, and basic weekend shenanigans here, and everyone is absolutely floored by the amazing job that the staff does and wonderful food/drinks. Would recommend the all of the margs, all of the tacos, chicken nachos, and guacamole. JR is the greatest of all time, absolutely make sure he does a shot w your group! If you happen to see me out here, please pretend that you didn't. Tip 200%! read more

If we could give this restaurant less than 1 star, we would! The service was sub-par since it was at least 20 minutes before anyone came to our table (it was a week day evening and not busy at all!) I ordered a beverage mid-meal that never showed up...not okay. We ordered the Nachos, as an appetizer, for 4 people. We were expecting a plate of Nachos, piled high with cheese, sour cream and guacamole, as advertised on the menu. There were about 10 chips strewn on a plate with a measly amount of cheese and very little else. We had added chicken and there was barely any! I should have taken a picture 'cause we were so flabbergasted that they had the audacity to charge $15. for a plate with not enough to satisfy one person, nevermind 2, 3 or 4! We all ordered Entres and non of us enjoyed our meals. The portions were small, and flavorless. Two of us had rice with our meals and we would swear it was out of a box! I have lived in Tribeca for over 20 years, and this Mexican Restaurant has turned over numerous times, but I think this is the worst it's ever been! Only dine here if you want hundreds of dollars "stolen" from you and you want to go home hungry. Extremely unsatisfied on all fronts...!!! read more

A few coworkers and I were looking for a spot to get good mexican food for lunch and stumbled upon this place. We were seated right away in the back dining room and they passed out chips and salsa to start. They had a great menu and everyone's food looked great but we all settled on different quesadillas. I got the pineapple chicken ones and they were so good! They also come with sour cream, guac, and pico de gallo. It a good size portion, I had trouble finishing my own. I loved the decorations in the back room, it felt very festive. Service was great and well definitely be back again! read more

I rarely write reviews, but I went for lunch today and I was surprised at how excellent it was. It was my idea to go and everyone was thrilled with me (except the ones that didn't join us, as usual). Then, when I saw several other 5-star reviews of this place, I knew I was right about how good it was; I decided to find my Yelp login and help support this restaurant (primarily so it stays open and I can keep going). I've had my fair share of margaritas and fajitas in my life, but these were some of the best - very well-seasoned and fresh. They might have been the best but it's not fair to say since most of my Margarita-related meals were a blur anyway. I'm really glad I discovered it and we're going back Friday! And then several more times after that! It has a large outdoor section too so everyone who has been too scared to eat in can check it out too! read more

We wound up here because it was near our parking lot before a show at BMCC Performing Arts Center. We sat in the dining room, so I have no comments about the bar. The food is excellent. Servers are attentive and helpful. I think the staffers are actually Mexicans, which is desirable for a Mexican restaurant. We ate camarones cinco de Mayo, which is a saucy shrimp dish with vegetables and plain mash, and a steak in chimichurri sauce with yuca fries. Hearty, tasty, satisfying food at about 30 per plate for entrees. (It's possible to eat cheaper with the traditional Mexican fare like tacos and enchiladas, but we wanted a heavy dinner before our concert.) The ambiance is super casual and the dining room has a run-down look (needs paint, etc). We would certainly eat here again. The food quality is good. read more

As a Mexican food fanatic, resident of New York for the past 5 years, and a Tribeca local, I can easily say that Zona is the only place you want to find yourself any day of the week. The food is incredible - guacamole is fresh and tasty in a large molcajete (bowl). Their quesadillas are out of this world whether it's the savory Al Pastor or the zesty chipotle chicken - it also come with personal guac, sour cream, pico, and salsa. My girlfriend is a pescatarian, and the shrimp tacos are spectacular - always fresh shrimp with mango salsa on top and chipotle aioli spread on bottom. The drinks are killer. I've been given free draft beers when they're doing a Pacifico special, I've ordered the Jalapeño margarita at least 10 times, and all their other margaritas are delicious, strong, and made authentically in a large margarita glass with a salted rim. Probably 75% of the time, our waiter brings us free shots to conclude the meal, which brings me to how great the vibes are here. Zona has an amazing atmosphere even in the days of COVID. The outdoor seating is extensive, and their inside is always a party. You can't, not be happy when you're eating here. The service has always been 5 stars, and anyone who says otherwise shouldn't be allowed to write a review. This place is incredible, and the 1 star ratings come from 1 star people! THEIR BREAKFAST IS EVEN GOOD! Do yourself a favor, and come to Zona. read more
