Experience Through Their Eyes

A friend of ours recommended this place and we can see why. The food was delicious! My husband ordered a green chili burrito with red enchilada sauce, and I ordered the shredded beef tacos combo. The tacos were full of meat, just the way I love them, and my husband’s burrito was saucy and very good! Their chips & salsa were good, but if you want spicy salsa, you have to ask. It had the perfect heat flavor 👌🏼 The staff were attentive and very friendly. We’ll be returning

Cafe Zamora is a favorite of the locals in the area! There are always customers in the restaurant. Service is excellent and staff is very friendly! Food is delicious and always hot! Chips and salsa are always served and always fresh. Salsa has just enough heat. No alcohol but sodas are very generous in size. Pictured is a plate with 3 tacos, rice and beans and the other is one taco, a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. This is one of our favorite 'go to' restaurants.

I was recommended to come here by a friend who loves their food. And I can confirm their food is good at reasonable prices! I ordered a shredded beef taco, a fish taco and a ceviche tostada. I made it there early so it wasn’t busy but by the time I was done eating it did start to get busy. I was served with chips and salsa while I waited for food. Everything is fresh so there was a little wait for food but not bad. They offer breakfast lunch specials and combo plates. The staff is very friendly!
