"This two-story Mexican restaurant has a fun, half-covered rooftop, and it’s a convenient place to meet for margaritas right next to the Metropolitan G/L stop. Potted plants, colorful banners, and bartenders clad in red Hawaiian shirts keep the roof feeling festive, but it’s pretty small, so it never turns into a full-blown party. Think of this place when you actually want to hear your friends, sit in sunset lighting, and eat some tacos. They don’t have an official Happy Hour, but there are new discounted drink and food specials all the time. If you want something to eat in between margs, the tacos and mole are pretty decent. They also have an indoor dining room downstairs, with roomier tables, and a full Airstream trailer in the kitchen that sticks out onto their sidewalk patio. We have no idea why it's there, but it does look cool. photo credit: Zona Rosa photo credit: Zona Rosa photo credit: Alex Staniloff Food Rundown Margaritas They come in seven different flavors—including pineapple, tamarind, and mango—and any of them can be made with a jalapeño- or habanero-infused tequila. Most importantly, they’re very strong. Pescado al Pastor Taco We don’t see the fish and pineapple combo in taco shops around NYC that often, so this is our go-to taco order at Zona Rosa. Both the fish and pineapple are grilled and marinated in a mild salsa. Each order comes with three tacos, served on a cute two-level tower with three salsas. Enmoladas This mole is a bit one-note, but if you like a super sweet mole, this one’s for you." - Neha Talreja

"It’s a simple fact: tacos taste better outside. Right off the Metropolitan G/L stop, Zona Rosa is a great place to meet up with a few friends over tacos, margaritas, and guacamole on its awesome roof. You might encounter a bit of a wait on particularly nice nights, but it’s never too hard to get a seat outside." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg

"There are two contemporary Mexican restaurants on The Alameda, but the one we keep returning to is Zona Rosa, with a menu of creative dishes like tempura scallop and asparagus tacos and chile relleno filled with carnitas and chorizo. We’re especially fans of the weekday Happy Hour when refreshing margaritas made with ingredients like prickly pear, hibiscus, and chili are just $8. The front and back patios are always great choices for large groups and celebrations." - Shoshi Parks

Such a nice and inviting atmosphere complimented by the friendly staff and highlighted by the delicious food & drinks ! I enjoyed the selection of margarita’s featuring flavors such as Tamarind, Watermelon, and Hibiscus. The Queso Fandito was a great start before diving into the delicious and flavorful tacos! I could get enough. The salsa and fresh lime were the icing on the cake.. taco. I can’t wait to come back for more laughs and great food. Thank you Zona friends for the yummy flan as well !

I took my sons here to celebrate my eldest's birthday. The food was delicious. The rooftop had great views, and my pineapple margarita hit the spot. The only caveat was that my son's mango juice was too sweet.

Amazing customer service and decent prices. Big compliments to the chef for the delicious food. There is waiter named Bruno who is so friendly, knowledgeable and very pleasant to have as a guide for what foods to choose from. This restaurant deserves high praise for their overall excellence. Plus the setup and greenery makes the place look very inviting. I'm telling all of my friends about this place because it's a 2 thumbs and 5 stars is not sufficient for what you get. Williamsburg Brooklyn has a gem of a restaurant on its hands.

The margaritas were amazing, highly recommended! You don’t have to get them spicy but my guest and I chose too. The chips with guacamole were so good plus the salsa that came with it was so good as well! I really liked the ceviche as well even though its not a style of ceviche Im used to having! The steak tacos were super tasty especially with all of the sauces that the tacos came with (I mostly used the mild and medium). However my fish tacos lacked flavor, I felt that I needed to put more hot sauce on it to enjoy it but the ingredients on the tacos tasted really fresh and great. Other than that everything was great and I’ll definitely be back for sure plus service was great and attentive when needed.

Sustainability: ✔️there’s an effort to reduce straw waste, but ✖️otherwise see didn’t see much effort to be sustainable. Food and drink: amazing food. Loved the fish tacos and seafood special. Would like to see that they’re sustainability harvested, but otherwise very good. Service: cold be more attentive, but got the job done. Value: on the expensive side. Ambiance: very cool. Outdoor rooftop seating in the summer, greenhouse style seating on the second floor, there kitchen is in a refurbished car or something. Very tastefully decorated. Not my first time and definitely won’t be my last time at Zona Rosa.

Delicious Mexican! We sat on the patio and had a great time. Portions and flavors were perfect. We got a ton of taco varieties and the enchiladas verdes and all were superb. We also got the coconut churros and tres leches for dinner and couldn't get enough. Service was very friendly as well.

Came here on a late Saturday afternoon. A friend was visiting from VA and was hungry. We decided to give it a try. We ordered a few items off their menu after we ordered some delicious margaritas! Tacos were good. A little in the small side but not bad. The enchiladas were AMAZING and require more attention. The green sauce that they have on them.. we had to ask for more of it on the side for our tacos. So good. Quesadillas were just okay. Service could've been better being that the place didn't seem too busy. No vibes in here tho.. just us making it do what it do. Love me some Mexican but not sure if I'll return.

Ordered: Mango Margarita (~$14): 2oz Premium Agave Tequila, fresh squeezed lime, mango flavor Passionfruit Margarita (~$14): 2oz Premium Agave Tequila, fresh squeezed lime, passionfruit flavor Guacamole with Totopos (~$14): guacamole with tortilla chips served with salsa verde and salsa roja Pescado al Pastor Tacos (~$16): 3 per order; grilled fish of the day marinated in guajillo salsa, grilled pineapple, onion, and cilantro on corn tortillas Arroz & Frijoles (~$6): side of rice and beans Aya's take: Great dinner spot, and pretty empty on a Thursday - we were able to walk in and sit anywhere as a party of 3. Of the 2 Margaritas, the Mango was definitely the better one. I loved the presentation of the Tacos but the fish was pretty overcooked and dry. The Arroz & Frijoles complemented the tacos well and the Guacamole was super fresh. Overall, nice dinner experience if you're in the area!

Despite the rating, this was one of my new favorite places for food! Everything food-wise was amazing! The Azteca Sopa was really flavorful and not spicy, hit the spot on a cold night. The quesillo cheese in the soup was really well added and played perfectly with the other flavors. I didn't much care for the shredded chicken in the soup, but my friends loved it. The Verde sauce in the enchiladas was amazing as well! Lastly, the tacos pescado - I was told - were really delicious with the 3 sauces offered not being overly too spicy.

Have you ever found a diamond in the rough? I did Zona Rose. Don't get me wrong; there is nothing rough about Zona Rosa; I feel for Zona Rosa having to contend with the MTA construction outside their establishment. Honestly, after searching for the best Mexican food spots in the Williamsburg area, I almost didn't choose Zona Rosa because of all the construction. Indeed, I was going to pass on even trying because they looked closed. Something told me to call them and double-check; I am so glad I did. So, as I said, there is nothing rough about Zona Rosa. On the contrary, Zona Rosa is a diamond. I had the house special; apparently, after speaking with one of the owners, the special is often requested by customers. Arriving just as they opened, I got my pick of areas to sit in. I chose the slightly elevated patio-like place, which was cozy and well-lit compared to other seating areas. As I mentioned, I ordered the house unique and a pineapple margarita. The food, music, and service were excellent. After a few bites, I could see why customers requested it. So, if you are ever in the area and looking for a delicious meal served with love and authenticity, I highly recommend Zona Rosa, And please, the house special.

Zona Rosa is in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn and was a place that a former colleague selected for us to have dinner recently - Yes to Taco Tuesday-lol. This eatery is accessible via the G train to Metropolitan or the L train to Loriner and a few minutes of walking. Zona Rosa is on the corner and once you walk inside, I was greeted by a staffperson near the front entrance podium who provided me with a warm greeting. I let her know that the +1 was waiting for me upstairs as my former colleague made a reservation for us to have rooftop seating (I was told this was done as a courtesy as usually their are no reservations made for rooftop seating & only serves walk-ins). As I scanned the 1st floor, there is a bar area and I saw their beautifully mixed wooden w/ bold orange color table /seating arrangements (orange is one of my favorite colors). There are gorgeous plants and visible as you go up the stairway to the next floor. The Mezzanine level has a cute chic bar area with additional table seating. Both the Mezzanine and Rooftop Areas are quaint, w/ partial views and provided a cool vibe during that beautiful Summer Evening. Happy Hour is until 7pm so we were able to partake of about 15 minutes of that menu which has specific cocktails for $8. My former colleague ordered a regular Margarita and I had a Watermelon Margaritas. She said that her cocktail was good and I kept raving about Zona Rosa's refreshing Watermelon Margarita. This was so fantastic that I would definitely return there for another one. Their Happy Hour policy is that you can only order.another drink once you have finished the prevuous one in its entirety, so make sure that you get there for a good amount timeto thoroughly enjoy the Happy Hour period. We ordered fish as I had Fish Tacos w/ a Side of Yellow Rice and she had a Fish Entree. Although the fish tacos and side of rice were small portions for the price, everything, tasted delicious and I would order the tacos again- I liked the plated presentation w/ the top holding the sauces w/ the tacos being displayed on the bottom row. Although Happy Hour ended, I wanted to try the Tamarind Margarita ($14). Zona Rosa also has select food items during happy hour as well as other fantastic cocktails overall like their Hibiscus Margarita and Sangrias. Great service from staff as they were courteous and friendly. Website - zonarosabrooklyn.com Instagram - @zonarosabrooklyn Hours of Operation- Mon-Thurs 5pm-11pm Fri. 5pm - Midnight Sat. Noon - Midnight Sun. Noon -11pm Zona Rosa also has Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays until 4pm. I will be back for cocktails and to try their Brunch.

Evth was good but not great I would say. it's hard to find great mexican food in NYC for some reason esp when compared to LA. It's more like 3.5 rounded up to 4. Esquites were great, always love ordering this and it's hard to go wrong The tacos had a thin, corn texture to them which was nice and the meat was tender enough for most of it, but could have been juicier, more flavor-packed as I felt it was a bit light on those aspects. So, good not great. It's cool they have a fish version of al pastor which was yummy Their guac was really good though I'll give them that! Creamy, bright, salty, and satisfying. The tamale comes unwrapped, and was a little on the dry side. Again the flavor wasn't ,mindblowing but it def scratches the itch. If you need a quick mexican fix this is a good place for it.

Food and drinks were delicious here. The chicken enchiladas were AMAZING! Would come back just for them. Shrimp tacos, beef tacos, and watermelon marg were reallly good as well. They even serve the marg in a half watermelon. We ended with the tres leches which was pretty good also. We sat upstairs and outside. Vibe was great indoors and out. Service was good. Wait staff were very friendly. Only down side was that the tables are pretty small so it's difficult to order multiple things at once.

Popped in with a friend after her flight to grab a quick dinner. Convenient as it's located nearby and I had heard good things from my roommate. We got seated really quick and was able to snatch a seat upstairs which was fun. The restaurant has really good vibes inside - lots of plans and very lively. I got the tinga chicken tacos and they were delicious. Very juicy and tender, good amount of filling, and 3 servings per order. I think the price is a bit on the higher end, but still really good. Our waiter was very attentive and making sure we were content with what we got. Will definitely be stopping by again sometime soon!

Absolutely amazinggg! Came here for a quick bite while in Williamsburg. Great margaritas, those house tequila shots will put it on you As far as the food we had chips and guacamole which was good. For entree I had the Enmoladas (can't remember how it's spelt). But very flavorful. Service was great, we didn't have a reservation and got seated immediately it was a Sunday though. Our server was super nice and gave great suggestions. Prices are fair. Ambiance is nice and chill. Great Mexican spot to try out if you're in the are.

For dinner, the ceviche, queso fundido and trompito al pastor were excellent. The presentation of the meats so we can make our own tacos was so fun. We also ordered lengua tacos. It was ok, not as flavorful as the trompito. Finished the meal with warm churros that come with caramel and chocolate sauce. Yum! Service was very attentive. Nicole was our server and she took good care of us. The person helping her was also very nice. He made sure we had water at all times. Enjoyed our pineapple and passion fruit margaritas. I'm surprised by the low rating. I think this restaurant is very good.

We came for a Birthday party here the place a nice they set us at the downstairs part . The waitress (John) super nice and attentive on point with our needs (Drinks ,Food, cake ) Food was really good drinks were really good too little strong LOL only thing i wish they have more options on food

Stumbled upon this place randomly and have been here 3 times since - super cool interior with a little covered patio area, a trailer/RV thing right in the front of the restaurant, and a fun vibe. Margaritas are delicious, and the Lebanese tacos are my favorite. Guacamole is solid too, and I never have issues with the service. There has been quite a bit of construction going on for a while now, so it definitely could be overlooked. Honorable mention for the tequila flight too!

We dined in for Cinco de Mayo, and on their busiest night they were still on top of everything. Food was excellent and speedy, and all the servers had a hand in taking care of us. They were attentive, kind and fun and Will in particular made our night! We can't wait to come back.

This is a really cute spot for a casual date or catching up with friends. There's outdoor seating, indoor seating and well as rooftop seating. The rooftop is very small so i recommend going earlier in the evening if you want a good table! We sat on the sidewalk and it was perfect. This is a solid spot for tacos!! I love how the tacos came to the table and love that they came with three different salsas. I must say i wasn't super impressed with the ceviche - it wasn't very fresh and tasted more like salsa. My mom got a salad and said the lettuce was extremely fresh however and the chicken on it was excellent. So for mains, this place gets an A+! I will definitely a different appetizer during my next visit. For dessert, the coconut churros we're super delicious!! you. You couldn't really taste the coconut on it but it made for great added texture. I'm excited to come back for the tacos and try a new app!

I had the grapefruit margarita from here and it was incredible It wasn't particularly strong but it was very refreshing and tasted like candy. There's a decently sized rooftop area that just radiates good vibes can't wait to go back!

This place was great! Super chill vibes, the music was the perfect volume (not so quiet you can't hear it, not so loud you have to talk over it). Food was delicious, the chips were ADDICTING. Such a fun spot for a sit-down drink with friends.

The architecture catches your eye first when walking past this place. The kitchen is an airstream that you can see from outside the restaurant. There's also a rooftop upstairs that's covered in the winter. The place feels intimate and service is great. It's doesn't get too busy. We made a reservation for Valentine's day. I got the enmoladas with a sangria. Presentation and service was great!

Chantelle W.

Yelp
Had a nice catch up with my friend Friday. Their margaritas are tasty. I prefer the mango as the Tamarind and Passion fruit was a bit too tart (but I know some people prefer that). The enchiladas verde was soooo good. I had cheese and my friend had steak. Both delicious. Definitely go! I'd go back for sure.

Piranha R.

Yelp
Ambiance is great! They have a cute indoor space and then a nice greenhouse and outdoor rooftop space. The table we had was extremely rickety to the point that our drinks would spill if we put our elbows on the table. But the margaritas are AMAZING, we got the traditional on the rocks and the salt rim was extremely flavorful. The tacos were unfortunately not flavorful and had to be doused with the sauce for flavor. The tortillas were soggy for the chicken tacos so it made it unappetizing. Overall we will come back for the great drinks, but pass on the food.

Yesenia M.

Yelp
The big draw for me to visit Zona Rosa was the rooftop and outdoor seating as it's super cute but things were "so-so" from there. We started off with the guac which was pretty good. I was super curious about the fried cheese option which turned out to be a good decision, the fried cheese was more like a cheese crisps; light and tasty. For my entree I had the vegetarian enchiladas which were a bit bland and odd in terms of texture for my liking. I was really hoping to try a vegetarian variation on the enmoladas but they are very strict about substitutions or any type of alteration so that didn't accommodate. That said, I did try the mole from someone else's dish and it was really delicious! Overall the experience was pretty typical as another review said another overpriced Williamsburg venue. The drinks were decent as was the service but again nothing standout and the tres leches was not my favorite. I would come back if I were in the mood to do guac and drinks on a rooftop.

Fox E.

Yelp
This was Rosa Parks' fave zone in Houston. Hence they named it after her - the Zone Rosa. This has some Americanized Mexican food and slightly fancy stuff and maybe Tapas type things and it's a cool funky place which is like a good hang out spot in the neighbourhood and has some cool hipsters here and a bunch of different types of people come here and it's not my favourite but I know friends that swear by it so I've been dragged in here twice now and I hope that it stays open because I think they would die if it didn't and that is the end of my run on sentence.

Another overrated TikTok restaurant. I like nothing about this place drinks were weak the foods was not tasty I'm good ambience was cool. I do not recommend

Amy H.

Yelp
Ordered online via UberEats, they forgot the $15 guacamole and chips, I called and they acted like I never ordered it. They offered no solution other than telling me I did not order so they can't send it. I'm only leaving this review because of the full insanity and gaslighting of someone not wanting to figure out what went wrong. It's unprofessional to just deny that an order, which can 100% be verified, does not exist. The receipt that they printed, attached to the bag, and delivered to my house is attached for proof. Unbelievable.

Nicole B.

Yelp
This was such a great restaurant. They have great tacos, great drinks, great fresh chips and guacamole. I went for A birthday dinner, we sat upstairs in the enclosed patio which was amazing. The service was great, and the food even better. I will definitely return. I also had the coconut churros which were amazing. I didn't get to take a photo of those tho. Highly recommend! Drinks are a tad bit pricey but it was great.

Came here for post brunch drinks. I love the rooftop at this place. We ordered at the bar and had prompt service. The mango margarita was two thumbs down and the watermelon margarita was delicious. The rooftop was toasty. It felt like I was in the Caribbean with the fan blowing. The queso thing was okay, I wouldn't order it again. I would come back.

Hola. Yo vine un diner y ordene las "gorditas". Que vienen de dos. Y las gorditas la originales, no van con lechuga y queso. Las buenas son con pura cebolla y cilantro. Espero que se tomen esto en cuenta. Por que la mesera me dijo que eran arepas. Y me que de de Wtf.

Ok. So maybe I was expecting too much during a pandemic but the service was lacking on a weekday and it was not busy. They only have outdoor seating , which is great, but the server sat us down, then came maybe 15 mins later to take our drink order, then it took him another 15, we decided to order chips and guacamole, as we were waiting for one of our friends. The margaritas was great, we tried regular and mezcal. The food was good too. It was just the service that was bad. The waiter never came back to check on us, to see if we needed more drinks or anything. Food is fairly priced so no complains there... Ehh I used to love going here.. but now idk

We had the Tamarind jalapeño margaritas and there were perfect !! Couldn't stop at just one !! The vibe was very cute , the waitress was amazing and very attentive. We got tacos and the queso fudido Queso was good But the tacos were the winner . We got the chicken and steak , perfect for sharing

Macy M.

Yelp
This place is kinda overrated and overpriced. The plating for the food is nice, & tacos are decent but lack true flavor as does everything else on the menu. Chicken tortilla soup is just flat out gross. I don't know how you can mess that up but they must've gotten creative. It has noodles in it. However, the margaritas are excellent and the vibe of the place is pretty cool.

Kate C.

I wasn't all that impressed. The vibe is adorable but the food is very over priced. We got drinks that honestly tasted like bath water and haunted us the rest of the night.

I know Mexican food. Zona Rosa really nails it. Tortilla chips were fresh and really good. I love a chunky red salsa, but the red sauce they brought with them was nice, spicy enough to be interesting without overdoing it. Queso Fundido: if you don't know what it is, stop whatever you're doing right now and go there for some. It's a fondue (fundido), melted cheese with chorizo. If you don't know what chorizo is...well you get the idea. Delicious, a little spicy, pork sausage. It's as wonderful as bacon but in a different way. The appetizer was enough for 2. They were not stingy with the tortillas. Came in a cast iron skillet which is not only traditional, but very practical: it keeps the cheese melty. I got the tacos carnitas: slow roasted marinated pork. It melted in my mouth. Nice fresh toppings, and came with 3 salsas: mild, medium and habanero. The mild was nice. I don't love salsa verde so I skipped the medium. The habanero: they shouldn't call it hot, they should call it Huatchalez. (Means what it sounds like. Watch-ah-lay. Watch out, with emphasis. Like, watch out, that dog is about to rip your leg off. Huatchalez.) Even if you really really love it spicy, this stuff will burn you. They delivered it by mistake to the Thai restaurant down the street and they sent it back because it was too hot. Claro? It's muy picante. The serving was not too big, not too small. (The tacos, not the habanero salsa. Careful around that stuff.) The people at the next table had enchiladas in mole sauce. They cleaned their plates muy rapido. I'll get that next time. Tres Leches for dessert -- Oralez! (That's like Holy Smokes, but it sounds much cooler in Tex-Mex). Big flavor but light. Nothing says Party like Mexican drinks, right? Margaritas move there. I didn't have one but plenty of people did and they all looked very happy. The place has a fun vibe. There was an Airstream trailer on the lot when they bought it; they converted it to a kitchen and built the rest of the place around it. I was in the rooftop section. It's closed in now for the winter but it looks like it would be great fun in summer. Service was quick and attentive. The staff were all just as nice as pie. Or tres leches. Prices are reasonable. For me, that meant $45 bucks for an appetizer, entree, dessert and 2 bottles of seltzer. For the quality of the food and the experience, a fair price. Mexican food is fun. Mexican restaurants are fun. Zona Rosa's is a very fun place. The only thing that would have made dinner better is having 5 or 10 of my friends with me. Bring yours with you, and you'll say what I said: I'm coming back here.

Have your vax cards ready and show up complete. Whether it'd be for Brunch or Dinner, the menu options are plentiful. Always ask for a drink special and they tend to have good ones but those watermelon margaritas are to die for. Like cheese? Queso con Hongos is a must. Like tortilla soup? Sopa Azteca is by far the best version I have ever tried. A taco is a taco so dabble around the entree menu as it does not disappoint.

We decided to stop here randomly since it looks so cute from the street and it did not disappoint! This place is great- quick and friendly service, tasty drinks and delicious food. We will definitely be back for brunch soon.

I love this spot in Williamsburg. Fantastic Mexican food and some of the best margaritas in the area. I would arrive early only because they can have bit of a wait time, but nothing crazy. The vibe is super chill, comfortable, you could even go in sweats and a T and be fine. Cute outdoor seating, nothing special but nice The food, margaritas, and the customer services is what gives it five stars!!

First time at Zona Rosa and I was sold. My friend was visiting from out of state wanted to have dinner on a rooftop, so I began the process of looking for one at the 99 hour and I came across Zona Rosa, Unfortunately the rooftop was close on a Monday, but we decided to stay. Food and drink: Overall amazing. Loved the tacos. And drinks were great. The Rosa sangria was okay. Service was on point and very friendly and helpful. Value: I would say average for Brooklyn. For Five of us came out to about 240ish. I personally like the Ambiance, very cool. their kitchen is in a refurbished truck, you have to see it ,tastefully decorated. Definitely heading back here in the near future.

Drove past here with my boyfriend and we were attracted to it because of the outdoor seating where it looks like you're being served by an old-fashioned food truck and rooftop seating. We didn't know what kind of food it served and agreed we were willing to try whatever it was. It's so ironic that they serve tacos and we went there on a Tuesday so it fulfilled our taco Tuesdays lol. We sat on the rooftop and ordered chicken tacos and my boyfriend ordered steak tacos (which came on a more appealing platter lol). We ordered the rice with black beans that came with two chips. My boyfriend ordered us the watermelon margarita and the pineapple margarita which we both agreed the pineapple margarita was more tasteful. The tacos were stuffed and we enjoyed them along with the rice and beans. It's a nice taco spot and we both really enjoyed it. It's just a little overpriced for tacos and wish they had more toppings like pico de gallo and beans for the tacos.

Kat R.

Yelp
Ehhh, typical overpriced Williamsburg spot. Wanna be Mexican but not really an authentic Mexican place. 3 tiny tacos (the special) al pastor $14 the margaritas $12-$14 each. Drinks were good and strong but in Williamsburg you're paying for the fact that it's a hip place to be at. Music was loud, server kept taking the glasses away when I had some drink still left and the tacos were really tiny. I'm glad I wasn't really hungry or I'd have been upset to spent what I did.

Popped in for dinner after a long day of travel and the service was wonderful from beginning to end! The wait wasn't bad and when we were seated, we were well taken care of. The guacamole was really good, but the tacos were delicious. The talent in the kitchen really cooked our meat in the tacos to perfection. My gf ordered the carne asada tacos with nothing on them (she's a purist) and they were juicy and tender and so good! I got the carnitas and they were amazing! The cilantro was fresh and with 3 tacos, it was more than I needed. The hot sauces are so good!!! And I tried our friend's mole. They nailed the sauces. Delish!

So happy I found this gem. Myself and a few friends were looking for a place to grab dinner before a night out and stumbled on Zona Rosa. We got seated extremely fast and our sever was also very prompt. I had the special margarita of the day which was passion fruit with a hibiscus floater and the fish tacos. The margarita was honestly top 2 best margaritas I've ever had and probably not number 2. The fish tacos were also delicious and I'm glad they weren't fried and top with a creamy sauce (eww). The salsa trio also given with your taco tower were all amazing. For dessert we had the coconut churros which were to die for. Post meal we ordered more margaritas but I had watermelon this time which tasted like heaven. Honestly I will deff be back!

Coming to this place turned out to be the worst dinner spot decision I've made in at least two years. First, the spotlight of this place is supposed to be their rooftop bar, which is covered in glass panels/windows in the winter so it's well-heated and lit. But when we went at 10pm for a late night light dinner/drink, we were told the rooftop wasn't even open so we couldn't sit up there. Second, their menu on their own website is not up-to-date at all. I saw two things that I wanted to order on their online menu only to find out that they weren't offered on their current menu. And no, those items weren't listed as "seasonal". Third, they won't allow you to substitute the goddamn tortillas on their taco from corn to flour. They have flour tortillas, but they just won't switch it for you. The waitress told us in a borderline-rude tone that she tried asking and the kitchen refused before so she won't ask again. I don't know who the cooks (def not chefs) in the kitchen think they are to be as arrogant to not accommodate a request as simple and reasonable as switching the type of tortillas. Do they know some people find corn tortillas absolutely disgusting and indigestible? On top of the disgusting corn tortillas, the fish taco was completely bland and uninteresting. Fourth, without being able to sit on their rooftop bar and enjoy the view, this place turned out to be a total rip-off. The food is expensive for the quality and portion. The $12 guacamole is the same size as the $3 side of guac you get at Chipotle. See my hand with the guac for size comparison. To sum up, I was going to come back to sit on the rooftop, but after the dinner experience, it's a never-again for me.

Just had a fantastic meal at Zona Rosa in Williamsburg. The food is flavorful and the menu precise. I had the chicken with mole sauce and my friends had the carnitas tacos and chicken enchiladas. All delish and reasonably priced. Their roof seemed like a total vibe. A bit bummed we weren't able to sit up there and rather sat outside on the street. I wish they took reservations for the roof. But go here for great food, drinks and pray to be sat on the roof.

Amazing. I visited this place for cinco de Mayo and I was blown away. Great service the ambiance is beautiful. Indoor and outdoor seating either on the street level or mini roof top. The food was everything just request some sour cream for the tacos. They come with mild medium or hot sauce and served on a lovely caddy. I had steak tacos and my friend had fish tacos. The margaritas were perfect and had us feeling like we were on vacation from the first sip. Definitely returning and can't wait to try everything else on the menu

We came to this place instead of the diner down the block. Let me tell you we made the best choice. From the torllas being the best in a long time and the chips and guacamole. Great,huevos and chorizo ,and breakfast platter with the cod . We switched plates and all because we needed to share. I think the service can be a little more quicker but my friend said to give it a five because they deserve it so I did rather than a four ‍. Will come back great outside patio

Sweet treat in Williamsburg... The restaurant has two floors and there's an option to sit outside in front of the establishment during the hot summer months. The bottom floor has a romantic vibe while upstairs is casual as its an enclosed rooftop with patio seating. The food comes in small portions but nonetheless, its delicious. I enjoyed the guacamole as an appetizer. I devoured the grilled tilapia tacos which comes with a three sauce trays. For dessert, I ate the coconut churros with goat milk caramel - hot damnnn that was good. The churros are made in-house so they arrived hot to the table. I did not get to enjoy the drinks, but I will update this review next time I visit. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood!
