Restaurant was small. Friendly staff. They had a singer there that night. He was good, but since the place was so small, it was very loud making for an uncomfortable dinner, hard to hear while speaking to one another while he walked around singing. Felt obligated to tip him too being that there were only 3 couples at the restaurant. Food was okay. Typical tex-mex. Esquites was not the same as we know it.

Authentic home cooked Mexican cuisine that comes out hot and fresh and right on time. Family business with lovely people - but perhaps a bit short staffed when it’s busy.The drinks are good if you stick to classic beer and wine - but BE WARNED this joint doesn’t serve the hard stuff, so that margarita you love is made with grape liqueur - Bill!Order a Diet Coke, it comes in a cool clay tall boy, and share a “cheers” with Frida Kahlos portrait as you toast another Marco Sunday

Everything was great! The complimentary chips and salsa were delicious, and the braised short rib tacos were amazing. My wife's fish tacos were also great. We had the Tres Leches cake for dessert, and I highly recommend it!

I was very disappointed in my experience here. I walked in and no one was seating me, did not know if I was supposed to seat myself or what was going on. Asked for water and was never brought it. I was there and $3 taco Tuesday, it showed it online, never showed a time where it was $3, I figured it was all day. Mentioned it when we were ordering that I would be ordering the $3 tacos, the check was brought at the end and it did not reflect the correct price. I wish I would say that I would come again, but I really am not sure.

Esteban is from Vera Cruz and his wife and mother in law who oversee the kitchen are from San Luis Potosi. These hard working americans bring you fresh food and i am lucky to have tasted their char grilled fish tacos.

Everything about the place was amazing. The server was so incredibly friendly and nice and had amazing recommendations! The quesa birria was through the roof and the guacamole was so good! The cups were also amazing, the story behind all of them was beautiful! Go here if you can!

This was one of our favorite meals the entire week we stayed on Marco. The food was excellent and the service was phenomenal. Our server was SO friendly and fun, we felt like old friends by the time we left! It's a kind of friendly service you just don't see much anymore. This is also a true family run place--from the kitchen to the front of the house, the owner and his family all have different roles. The people sitting next to us who had been here for 6 weeks also said it was their favorite place on Marco. Highly recommend!!

We recently ordered catering from Zaza Mexican Restaurant, and we had the pleasure of working with Esteban. His professionalism and courtesy truly stood out, making our experience exceptional. Esteban went above and beyond to ensure that our order was special, and it definitely was! Our party guests were not only well-fed but also delighted by the delicious food.The variety of dishes, especially the leftover tacos, allowed us to create a memorable feast even after the event. The quality of the food was outstanding, and the entire experience was enjoyable from start to finish. We want to extend a big thank you to Esteban and the entire Zaza crew for making our event truly special. We highly recommend Zaza Mexican Restaurant for its fantastic food, excellent service, and attention to detail.

We had a wonderful dinner at ZaZa’s. Best Mexican food on Marco Island - by far! We had chicken quesadillas and chicken, beef mushroom fajitas. Outstanding! Restaurant went under new management 6 months ago. Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed!
