Bodega market serving tacos, flautas, burritos & Mexican ingredients.
"A trip to Zaragoza should be motivated by three factors. First, this Mexican grocery and deli serves hearty corn tortilla tacos, and burritos and quesadillas that will hold you over for hours. Second, it’s where you can pick up tamarind-coated sour straws, Jarritos, and plenty of other Mexican snacks. And finally, there’s a friendly orange-and-black bodega cat who lives here and wants to be pet. We see no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy all three factors at once." - Hannah Albertine
"Part bodega and part Mexican deli, Zaragoza’s is a fairly unassuming lunch spot. It’s known for its low key, family style vibe and authentic Mexican food. Prices are cheap and the food is quick. We recommend you get your tacos to go since there isn’t much to the dining experience." - Champions
"A trip to Zaragoza should be motivated by three factors. First, this Mexican grocery and deli serves hearty corn tortilla tacos, burritos, and quesadillas that will hold you over between a leisurely 1pm hummus-lunch and an “oh sh*t I forgot dinner” at 9pm. Second, it’s where you can pick up tamarind-coated sour straws, Jarritos, and plenty of other Mexican snacks. And finally, there’s a friendly orange-and-black bodega cat who lives here and wants to be pet. I see no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy all three factors at once." - hannah albertine
"Named after the town in Puebla, this miniature maze founded in 2000 is both a grocery store and a cafe, via proprietors Maria, Pompeyo, and Ruben Martinez, with a taco stand in front and tables in the rear. Check the chalkboard for daily specials, which recently included a nice tuck-in of albondigas (meatballs), each with a boiled quail egg at its center, and a delicious potato-and-chorizo taco made with a pair of blue corn tortillas. It’s a good place to pick up a kilo of tortillas, bottled salsas, or a six-pack of Mexican beer." - Robert Sietsema
"This bodega — founded by immigrants from Puebla in 2000 and with a small rustic cafe in the back — has been a boon to East Villagers: it offers a limited menu of tacos, burritos, nachos and specialty flautas stuffed with chicken or potatoes, and on weekends the classic barbacoa ($16) of steamed goat leg arrives with rice, pinto beans, salad, and warm tortillas (go spicy with the red or milder with the green tomatillo salsa) to wash down with a grapefruit or mandarin Jarritos." - Eater Staff
