El Zason Brooklyn Reviews
Went there for a small bite and some drinks and fell in love with it! A family run business, kind, and food was amazing! Do not miss out, they are open late too!
The service is incredible! They went above and beyond for a birthday, with a birthday banner, dessert and all. They definitely care about their guests and the food is really great too! Will definitely come back. Generous portions and upbeat vibe inside.
The entire staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was welcoming. All of the food was flavorful and of excellent quality. The atmosphere was festive and we were lucky enough to hear the mariachi band that was playing for a birthday party. We had an enjoyable lunch. I look forward to eating at El Zason again.
A great restaurant at a low price. The food was excellent. The amount of guacamole you get was great. We definitely want to come back
A great place for a quick beer and guac and chips or a full sit down meal with all the Mexican Classics. Decore is charming, as is the staff. More Mexican restaurants in NYC should be like this.
We are visiting from Miami and only wish we had a Mexican restaurant as good as this. We came twice during our trip and brought our adult kids and their partners. The place feels like family. Lovely and attentive dtaff. There is an extensive cocktail menu. Great mole for those who enjoy it. Everyone who ordered fajitas loved it.
I hosted the company holiday party at El Zason this year. We had a larger turnout than expected and the staff quickly leaped into action to set up everything for us. The food was amazing, drinks were delicious and the staff friendly and inviting. Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply craving an excellent meal, this restaurant delivers with grace, flavor, and heart.
I cannot say enough good things about this place!! One, their mole enchiladas are out of this world. Two, the margaritas are MASSIVE and in the evening were 20% off - these days cocktails are so expensive so to come across a giant affordable margarita was such a treat!! Three, the service is so nice! Family owned and operated - the bartender was the owner and treated me and my friend with so much kindness. We told all our friends about this place and will definitely be returning!
Food was great! I got the chicken milanesa sandwich and it was a really generous portion. The strawberry margarita was already very good. Looking forward to coming again and trying more items!
Enjoyed our enchiladas. Also enjoyed reading the 3 star review below where the person was upset because the tacos didn’t have sour cream and cheese 🤣 Good food, good margaritas. Mole was nice and so was the salsa.
Nachos were excellent. Large quantity. The enchiladas in green sauce were very good. A little too much green sauce under enchiladas for me. Next time I will ask for less. It was very good though. Beans and rice needed more salt or seasoning. Bland to my taste. Strawberry margarita was also not strawberry enough but a good portion. Nice server, friendly and polite service. I would go back again. Nice atmosphere
Overall had a great experience at this restaurant. We had waited forever at a different restaurant and decided to come here instead. We were sat immediately and the food came out very quickly. The food was delicious and the guacamole was INCREDIBLE as others have mentioned. I am giving a four star rating as the music was VERY LOUD, so loud that it was difficult to have conversations with the people sitting across the table from me. There were moments where the music would be turned down only to quickly be turned up again. Not sure what was up with that!
Nice place. We ordered simple things. Chicken tacos & buffalo wings as an appetizer. The Buffalo wings tasted like a bag of frozen wings already pre-seasoned from Bjs. The tacos arrived with no cheese, tomato’s, no sour cream. Just dry meat on a tortilla and mountain of onions after requesting all that typically goes on a taco. It was much better. It was just odd that the decor and all was a complete replica of A what a Mexican place would look like and the taco was served with none of the common toppings. However, The ambience is very nice!
