Opinions de Zazil San Jose
Help me write a review for zazil on Google . The atmosphere and ambience was A1. For a Saturday evening, we were given a prime table in the inside out section and was very pleased. The food had several vegetarian options - which was great given 2 out of 3 of us are vegetarians. Drinks were very good. Food portions were great. Even the sharable appetizers were generous servings. Tortilla Chips kept coming :) and the highlight was the DJ.. amazing vibe, good food, great company and awesome music
Came for Brunch on a Saturday at around noon! The chicken and tamale waffle were excellent. The portions are bigger than they seem. Overall, a positive experience. They do have a small business tax of 5% added automatically to the bill.
We had such a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything we ordered was so flavorful and satisfying. The atmosphere was amazing—warm, lively, and really welcoming. A special thank you to Andres V for making our visit even better. He was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and made us feel so comfortable. He chatted with us, created such a fun and pleasant vibe, and his recommendation for our main dish was excellent—we loved it. We also really enjoyed the awesome guacamole and chips, which made the meal even more fun. Thank you, Andres V, for your wonderful service! This is a fantastic restaurant and I would definitely recommend it.
Wonderful hospitality all around. Miguel and Francisco were fantastic—kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They recommended a great meal, accommodated the extras I requested, and made the whole experience feel special. I’ll definitely be back. If you’re visiting, sit at the bar and ask for Miguel and Francisco!
We had a wonderful experience at Zazil. The food was delicious, but what truly made our visit special was our server, Lisa. Lisa was incredibly sweet, warm, and attentive. She took great care of us from start to finish and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her positive energy and friendly attitude really elevated the whole experience. Great Mexican food paired with such lovely service — we’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Lisa!
In a world of automation and endless daily distractions, it’s easy to forget how meaningful and special true human-to-human connection and great hospitality can be. We are truly grateful and felt genuinely taken care of today by Lisa G. and the Zazil team. The human touch, combined with food made from the heart, created an exceptional experience. Thank you, Lisa.
The atmosphere and decor are absolutely beautiful, and the restaurant is very child- and family-friendly. The food portions are generous with great presentation—especially the guacamole! Everything was delicious and full of flavor. Our server, Armando, was such a gentleman: very polite, friendly, and attentive. The music is super groovy and really adds to the vibe. Definitely recommend Zazil—100% worth it!
A fun place with some very delicious food. It's Mexican with a twist. Love the way the lady comes and makes the guacamole in front of you in her big stone mortar and pastel. We had the tacos . mushroom empanadas, a shrimp small plate, pork, chicken, chili renello and so much more. The ambience was perfect for a group of friends, it was loud, fun and with a lot of character. The service was great. Overall, great ambience, amazingly yummy food and great vibes in Santana Row with a lot of life. Definitely going back!
The outdoor seating offers a beautiful ambiance and an inviting vibe that immediately sets the tone. We ordered the guacamole, lasagna, and tres leches—each dish was delightful, but the highlight was the guacamole, prepared fresh right in front of us, making it a fun and memorable experience. What truly elevated our evening was our server, Reyna. She was attentive without being intrusive, checked in on us regularly, and offered spot-on recommendations that we thoroughly enjoyed. An experience worth repeating—we’ll definitely be back.
Gorgeous restaurant, open late! Great for after theater dinner. We stopped there after fright night at Winchester and their food was amazing. Made fresh guacamole and tostadas were to die for. Just because careful with their cups. They aren't made for those that have had more than one drink. Lol
The atmosphere is just beautiful. We had no wait to be seated. Service with Fred was phenomenal. He assisted on informing us about the lunch and brunch menus as well as the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available. He also gave his suggestions and reconfirmed how delicious our choices were going to be. We received our food and great time and prior to .. we were already given chips and dip to start. I had the Zazil Fajitas and they were divine. My husband has the Albodingas de Chicharron and he loved it. We will be back and it was a great experience here for our first time dining. Thank you for today.
Loved our business dinner at this entertaining Mexican restaurant in the heart of Santana row. Food 5/5. Entertainment 5/5. Atmosphere 5/5. Service 5/5. We were seated there outdoor right by the live music. Ordered guacamole table service which was very authentic and entertaining. I ordered mariscos plate which was abundant and tasty. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. Welcomed warmly the second we arrived by super friendly hosts. We loved the guacamole served table side! We ordered Arrachera Norteña and Enchiladas Poblanas. Also pictured: Zazil Margarita and Roasted Jalepeño Margarita! We will be back for sure!
We had an amazing pre Valentine dinner tonight. The food was delicious, but the Service was even better. It had been a while since we last came to this place, and I'm glad we gave it another chance. …
Jose was our waiter and he works his tail off. He made the best Jalapeño Margaritas. food was delicious. We are definitely coming back.

Amazing service and food! This will be in regular rotation. Great indoor and outdoor dining.
We sat outside on a quiet and car free section of Santana Row. I had the vegetarian tortilla soup and guacamole and chips, with the guacamole prepared table side. service was quick and friendly too.

We came for brunch. They provide both the brunch and lunch menu. Start you off with chips and two house made salsas, orange sauce was delicious we suspect it’s made with squash. We ordered the concha and quesadillas for openers. Concha’s are baked in house they had a sweet airy crispiness to them not too sweet. For drinks we had the fresh water of the day melon juice, green juice, and coffee all three drinks were fresh and made with real fruits/veggies/beans. For our main dish we got the omelette and arranchera and eggs. The meal was overall delicious, the staff was friendly/welcoming, and the ambiance is vibey but not too loud to where you cannot have a conversation. Great for girls brunch, date, families. Would come again. Shout out to our waitress Maria for being so attentive and making it a nice experience.

Came here for a friends birthday I'm not really a fan. drinks are good but serving sizes are TINY and are very pricey for the amount that you get, which is disappointing.\n\nIt's pretty loud inside…
Service is perfect but food quality was bad. Fajita and enchiladas the meat quality was so bad. They should do better with this price
Solid dining experience. The mocktail La Cruda was really good and the pork Tacos were pretty tasty.

Great atmosphere for indoor or outdoor dining. Their food is so awesome I like to try more than one item. The appetizers are large enough for sharing, so we usually get three. We stagger when they …
I was visiting Santana Row on a Saturday night and stumbled upon this place. It was either here or the Tequilla lounge right next-door. I picked this place because they had food and I wanted someth…
This place is in a pleasant location, though the outside patio tables are on a fairly busy street. If you want dinner with conversation, I'd say this place is moderately noisy given street traffic, m…
Be prepared to pay for empty plates Unfortunately, the food doesn’t have a really good Mexican. Quality not really good drinks are OK. The service was excellent. Very good guys working there.

overpriced for average food, which you can find more tasteful in any Mexican restaurant or taqueria. They even charged for 3 extra tortillas because only 3 came in one of the dishes! Good decorati…
Food was decent. I had the fish tacos and my husband had the cochinito tacos. Nice ambience, but service was a little slow. I think the restaurant may be under staffed (as are most restaurants …
Very over priced! Very few selection on the menu. It is not traditional, its a high end Mexican food working on image. And thats ok the succeeded with that. We had to ask for more chips. I as…

We arrived and were served chips. Very delicious. We then ordered guacamole that was pretty good and made at the table. \n\nFor mains we tried the carne asada, the carnitas, and the pollo cremoso. …
Food is pretty bland for my liking. Typical chips and salsa is served with entrees that consist of either chicken fish or steak. Sat outside so pretty much had the whole area to myself. A typical s…
Hostess sat us at a table full of tortilla chips crumbs--not a few, but loads, and very noticeable; the seat cushions were also covered in large tortilla chips crumbs. No offer to clean the table, so…
Carnitas: 3.5/5. Nice juicy pork. Beans were plain. Small portion. fish tacos: 4/5. Nicely seasoned. Nice portion. Shrimp ceviche: 3.5/5. Good flavor. Nice plump shrimp. Free chips and …
The food is decent and the service is ok. It's overpriced for what is offered and receiving a bill with an additional 5% surcharge is a bit too far. Not coming back.
Food tasted great, service though was terrible. Had to ask 3 times for water refills and coke. Ordered monthly special and 30 minutes later server says they’re out, pick something else. Great liv…
Seeing the prices for all of the food, made me expect a great experience. But what I had had received was quite the opposite. \n\nOther members of our party arrived before me and had ordered the gu…
Sad expensive food. Fajitas were cold. The Milanese had an odd texture. Flautas de papa were underwhelming.

Horrible services. After sitting and waiting for 10 minutes to have a server come, the individual comes to ask what I want, as I discuss with him. He rudely leaves to address other customers saying…
I rarely write negative reviews, but Zazil at Santana Row was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in the area. The restaurant was noticeably dirty, and even the ice in my glass looked cloudy and unclean. The chips were stale, which is unacceptable for any Mexican restaurant. The fajitas were so oversalted they were inedible, and the ceviche had almost no flavor — just an overwhelming amount of salt. The quesadilla was dry, bland, and poorly prepared. Everything tasted like it had been sitting out too long, yet the prices were shockingly high for the quality served. What should have been a pleasant meal turned into a total disappointment. Santana Row has many excellent options — this one simply doesn’t meet even a basic standard of cleanliness or flavour.
