I love this place and have been dining here since 2018. It used to be my boyfriend’s and my local spot, and even after he moved, we continued ordering from them. I look forward to visiting him because I know we’ll order our favorites—I genuinely crave them. Our go-to dishes are the linguine with seafood and the garchito steak, + arugula salad. We also get a pizza to save for the morning, that we usually reheated and add an egg on top! "morning pizza' oh and we almost never skip the chocolate crêpes with bananas. I truly love the entire menu—it never disappoints.

My affection for this place is well-founded. The team displays warmth additionally. The food satisfies completely. The service responds promptly. The costs remain reasonable. The waiters and meals always meet expectations. I'm excited to bring various people to try this.

Very impressed with the quality of food and service at this charming place. Not many quality sit-down eateries in this part of town but this one is a gem. I had the avocado salad with salmon. Fish was perfectly cooked and the salad was very fresh and not over-dressed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is my third time visiting this lovely café, and it never disappoints. I first found Zona back in June while staying at NYU with my mom. After one too many hospital cafeteria meals, I Googled restaurants in the area, took a chance on this spot, and was pleasantly surprised. The staff, bartender, and even the owner Luis were so welcoming, and the clientele was just as sweet. That first visit I had seafood pasta, apple bread pudding, and a great cocktail—every bite was amazing. Fast forward to August, when my mom had to return to NYU, I knew exactly where I was heading. After just one day of cafeteria food, I came back to Zona. After almost 12 hours at the hospital I stopped in for brunch before heading home this Tuesday afternoon and ordered the Zona French Toast with a passion fruit mimosa and margarita. Oh my gosh—so good. Excellent service from the owner himself. Later that week, after closing my shop, I came back again for dinner. I started with the Zona slider (so delicious I inhaled it), then had the fish tacos with branzino, corn salsa, and all the toppings—perfectly satisfying. I even have left overs as it is a generous serving. I paired it with an espresso martini that was easily one of the best I’ve had in years. I also had a passionfruit margarita that hit the spot after a long day. SO GOOD! The server, Dani, a young lady, was excellent, mentioning the special and providing me with suggestions. Everything was fresh and delish. What really stood out was that Luis, the lovely owner, remembered me when I returned tonight just a couple of days later. I told him I’d be back—and I meant it. That kind of personal touch is rare and makes Zona feel like more than just a restaurant. For me, it’s become almost a comfort spot—somewhere I know I’ll get a good meal, a warm experience, and leave feeling better than when I walked in. The space itself is cozy with great music, string lights for ambiance, and just the right vibe. You can come here on a date, with friends, with family, or solo—and you’ll feel right at home. I learned that Zona has been here since 2012, and it shows in the consistency, quality, and care. Great food, great drinks, great people. Anytime I’m in Sunset Park, this will be my go-to spot. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. I apologize for the “after” photos only, but truth be told I usually eat their meals faster than I remember to snap a picture, and this was no exception!

Looking to kill some time with a small group and found this cool little spot. Was impressed with the quality of the food & drinks. Service was friendly, fast yet attentive. Highly recommend the Chicken Empanadas, Steak Frites, Chicken Paillard, & Spicy Margaritas.

Had two fantastic meals at Zona whilst staying in Sunset Park for the weekend. Very welcoming place, good atmosphere and great service. Food and cocktails of a good London standard and at $20 for most mains, very good value for money (by NYC standards).

So the food was very delicious. The service was excellent. Unfortunately atmosphere is fine although It’s small i find that the tables are way too small for everything they have on the table. It’s way too small of a table and needs to be longer in length or longer in width & all that stuff could not sit on the table if I’m gonna order appetizers pictures of margaritas and eventually an entrée! I’m gonna make a reservation for four people so my tables bigger next time because I will be back great place . The food is absolutely delicious.!

Discovered this cute restaurant and cafe in Sunset park that was absolutely perfect for date night. Service was amazing and the menu was delicious. 🔥 We loved the chill, causal vibes and exploring this menu filled with an eclectic mix of cultures. The cocktail list is extensive and our pisco even had Hibiscus bubbles on top! Get the steak frites and the garlic shrimp for sure.

Wonderful, friendly, delicious. Tamarind margarita with tajin 10/10. Guac 10/10. Chicken salad 9/10. Joanna and service 10/10. We were talking about tajin and its uses and she said let's try it on an orange cause some of the people she works with do it. So we did it and it was delicious! Thank you!
