"The drinks were really impressive...

…the drinks were thoughtfully prepared and had great ingredients. I recommend the negroni if you like bitter drinks or the roasted jalapeno margarita if you feel like drinking margaritas. They’re strong but not overpowering. I really enjoyed the drinks they had.”

– Brendan, Google

"The space is very comfortable, open + stylish.

… The customer service was mediocre as we had to call over our waiter a couple times. But the “pulpo” plate was amazing. Nice job, chef!”

– Bebe, Yelp

"I love this restaurant!...

… Their food is absolutely delicious. They have a good amount of vegetarian options. My favorite dishes have been the Coliflor con Mole Poblano and the Pescado a la Parilla (I get it with tofu instead of fish). I highly recommend Zazil!”

– Ramya, Yelp

"Great place!...

…We had an amazing experience having brunch today! Food is yummy and authentic. Save space for their deserts. Highly recommend!”

– Ana P, Yelp
