    A favorite restaurant of mine. Great tex-mex menu, and ofcourse they have street tacos. Friendly staff and great environment. I'm reminded I need to come here more often. Some of the best quesadillas, good margaritas, and even the little things like the rice and beans are great. Honestly rank La Zona Rosa in the top 2 for local Mexican. But perfect five stars from me.

    Called in 5 orders and they were ready for me when I arrived 15 minutes later. Everything was bagged according to order and correct. Affordable prices. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. I will be going back.

    Delicious meal. Service was very fast despite having a lot of people around lunchtime. They forgot my side of guac, but brought out immediately. Would recommend to family and friends in the area. 😊

    Happened to visit this on Friday afternoon. The location was nice and ambiance was really good. The dishes were nice and hot. You would like this place if you are kind of person like me who prefer the food to stay hot until last bite.

    Ordered lunch, great prices! I recommend the carne asada street tacos. They also had papusa which is hard to find! The Elote tasted very similar to what I was used to in San Diego, CA. Would definitely eat here again, as I have many times before. Absolutely delicious

    This afternoon, I had a late lunch at La Zona Rosa and found it quite average. I started with slow initial contact after being seated. This was with the restaurant at less than half capacity. On multiple occasions, I noticed no wait staff present in the dining area. After being waited on, I found the waiter to be very polite. After ordering, I tasted the chips and salsa, which was more like spicy ketchup. The house guacamole was much better. I ordered a Chili Plablano, Chicken Quesadilla, and Chicken Flaunta. First, the Flaunta was very good, as was the Chili Plablano. The Chicken Quesadilla was very bland, and the chicken had no flavor at all. The plating and presentation were nice and clean. The prices are typical of most area Mexican restaurants. Overall, the experience was nothing special but was not a turnoff for a return visit if I was in the area.

    Great place, definitely would recommend. Service was great and quick. I ordered the salvadoran options which the pupusas almost seemed frozen and the plantains were not at the optimal ripeness. Pupusas were serve with cheese instead of salsa which was interesting so I traded the cheese to eat with the Tortilla chips and the salsa for the chips for the pupusas.

    Fantastic spot to eat! They have a great outdoor patio which gives you a high up view of the outdoors. The service was extremely fast and the food was delicious. It is a double sided big menu with so many food and drink options. I was super pleased I loved the papusa the most although the plantains were super great too. Nice atmosphere, highly recommend to stop here when in Montgomery.

    Was pretty disappointed especially after reading all the reviews. Not very authentic tasting food. More like American Mexican style food. Food tasted reheated. Too much cheese. Kids pizza was questionable. Chimichanga wasn’t crispy. Also not sure why this place doesn’t have a changing table in the bathrooms. Clearly families come to eat here. Waiter was very nice and attentive.

    One of my top 5 places to eat in Montgomery!The food is fresh and well seasoned. The margaritas are great as well(reasonably priced and strong).I usually order the carnita tacos, fajita nachos,shrimp nachos or enchiladas. I prefer the sangria margarita or skinny margaritas and they are GOOD!One and done unless you're having a long week!As you can see I'm here at minimum once a week. The patio is an added bonus.Service is always great as well!

    Literally one of the best spots in Montgomery. Good margaritas, good food, amazing customer service, and balcony tables. Very romantic, chic, and just a fun place to dine at.

    First taco spot I've tried in Montgomery area, it's a family style Mexican restaurant with a bar seating area. I found 3-4 good TMM Additive/Difuser free tequilas and had some El Tesoro Reposado. The tacos were pretty pricey, but you're paying for them roof and the bar-hard to find taco truck prices in a restaurant. On average the tacos were about 4 bucks each. The Chorizo was great. 5 Star. The Al Pastor was also very good, 5 there too. But, I wasn't impressed with the Asada or Carnitas, both were just a little too bland for me. The onion's and cilantro came on the side with salsa verde, I needed just a bit more onions and salsa, but it was all around a very good meal. Priced a little high, tequila options decent, 2 great tacos and 2 ok tacos. I'd say it's a good 4.3.

    Outstanding, relatively authentic, and decent prices. Love that they have horchata and elote which you don't find at many Mexican restaurants. Chips and salsa were on point and the guac was great as well. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants anywhere!

    Great food and atmosphere! Went to celebrate a friend's birthday. Loved the atmosphere and the food was delicious. I hate the team out of corn so we weren't able to try that. Loved the specials and combos that were available. I love variety, so the combos gave me exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely be back!

  • 3/5 Hannah M. 3 years ago on Google
    Its very popular, people mainly come for the drinks but I wouldn't say its the best Mexican in town.

  • 5/5 Donald B. 1 year ago on Google
    Let me start with I went with my beautiful wife. The price was good, Food was great drinks were great and the service was outstanding. The only thing I did not like was the non cash charge.

    After a debacle with Door Dash (no, they don’t contract with them anymore) for our party of 15, the owner personally delivered a taco bar to us in record time, which was much appreciated. The food was excellent and I was very impressed with the customer service after such a disaster. I don’t live in Montgomery but I would definitely take my family there when I’m town. Thank you!!

  • 3/5 Joseph P. 1 year ago on Google
    After being on the road all day, we were hoping for a lot better experience. My wife said the margarita was good, but beyond that, maybe a notch or two above a Taco Bell. Being that the restaurant was elevated, you felt everyone walking around….nice stop to grab a quick bite, but keep your expectations low.

  • 5/5 Hope E. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered catering for my office (30 people) and it was a big hit! The food was delicious and the portions were so generous that we are having the leftovers for lunch again tomorrow. The communication was great, the food was ready early, and the prices are very affordable. I highly recommend for your next office party or gathering.

  • 1/5 Huckabey F. 1 year ago on Google
    Don’t order takeout. I ordered takeout hoping for a tasty dinner in my hotel. The guacamole arrived as just some partially cut up avocados and they were bruised. No seasoning, just avocado. The fajitas were mediocre. The extra salsa was left out. Not happy.

  • 5/5 E V. 1 year ago on Google
    We were going to be in the area and googled Mexican food. Chose La Zona Rosa from several others because the pictures and reviews and we were not disappointed. The food was quick and hot and delicious. The street corn was really good. Our waiter, Cesar was friendly and helpful while we ordered.

  • 5/5 Jason Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Supreme food and service. Do yourself a favor and get a bowl of chorizo dip, it is amazing. I also got a chorizo taco, a pollo asada taco, and a carne asada taco. All were top notch.

  • 1/5 TJ J. 1 year ago on Google
    I eat here at least once a week. Here lately the food as been subpar. Either real greasy or watery. Today i went to wash my hands and came back to my table being cleaned and what I had left was gone. I was gonna take my leftovers home but couldn't today. Either good service or good food never both. I will not be going back anytime soon

  • 2/5 Matt N. 1 year ago on Google
    went here for celebration for my son's graduation from montgomery police academy. tamales I ordered were not what i expected. they use corn meal instead of normal wraps for tamales. I couldn't eat them and nothing was offered in it's place. If you love a good tamale, this is not the place to go. service was just okay. we dined in.

  • 5/5 Project Silver Q. 11 months ago on Google
    Located in one of the best areas in Montgomery, cozy and classic atmosphere, Friendly service and excellent authentic Mexican dishes. Great for couples and families.

  • 5/5 Cultured R. 11 months ago on Google
    Montgomery has a wide variety of Mexican restaurants. However, La Zona Rosa is easily one of the best. The menu has excellent variety and has some items that other popular restaurants do not have. The atmosphere is very relaxed and uses minimal lighting giving you a very private feeling dining experience. The wait staff is efficient and hospitable. The food service is fast and delicious. The only drawback really is dining seating is somewhat limited so on a busy night you might have to wait a while. But, it's worth the wait.

  • 5/5 Terra E. 9 months ago on Google
    Just picked up a to-go order of Fajita Chicken Nachos. Delicious, just drowned in cheese. They gave me extra chips too (which I needed). Love this place!

  • 5/5 Bri B. 4 months ago on Google
    Had an amazing time,dinner and service was superb. Definitely a top notch foodie stop! Flautas, margaritas, and fiesta queso are worth a 9/10. Sitting in the bar area up the stairs gives the feeling of intimacy, privacy, and nice views.

  • 4/5 Carla M. 5 months ago on Google
    I prefer a higher inspection rating (they have a 92, not bad), but I hadn't been there in a long time, so I treated myself to a quiet lunch on the balcony. Wished the chicken had more flavor with seasonings.I had to add salsa to give it some umph. The Watermelon Margarita 🍹 was delish! Great, attentive service!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

  • 2/5 Quarks of Health H. 6 months ago on Google
    Avoid pupusa. No ingredients included. I went with a table of 8... I would say 50% of people loved their meals and 50% were quite disappointed. I was one of the disappointed ones. Especially when my pupusa had no meat and they argued with me that it isn't supposed to have meat... Menu reads that it includes pork though.

    José from La Zona Rosa was the greatest for my daughter’s law school graduation luncheon. He catered the luncheon at a personal residence and delivered the food with all the details just right! The food was delicious! Thank you José and La Zona Rosa! 😊
