Zona Rosa Los Gatos

Not as good as their resistant on the Alameda in Santa Clara.

Food was good but definitely not as good as our last visit about 6 months ago. Enchilada Pollo has little flavor. Maybe they changed chef? only 1 active server around on a Friday night. Unfortunately, we got almost no explanation on drinks or special. It used to be much better where they explained to you on different drink choices and food. This time the overall quality is definitely not the same excellent quality. Disappointed as we were hoping to show our out of town guests real awesome Mexican cuisine.

Menu was delicious! I had the blue corn enchiladas and they were fabulous. Friend had the carnitas tacos and she liked them as well. Ordered the ahi starter and was disappointed. Sort of smoked and carpaccio like- not what we expected. Two things make this a place I wouldn't recommend. 1. The service was slow for lunch. We got there 15 minutes early for our 1 on reservation and they were able to seat us, which was great. However we waited for a long time to get our drinks, have a second drink and even get our bill. No way could you do this place in an hour if you have a traditional lunch hour. 2. The mixed drinks (margaritas) had lovely flavor but I swear they did not have a drop of alcohol in them. Friends of mine had warned me that they had dinner and drinks a few weeks ago and just for fun did a breathalyzer after they left and they both blew 0.00 after 4 drinks. Not cool.

Stopped on the way to Santa Cruz to visit family. Had lunch here. Absolutely fabulous. We will stop here for lunch from now on. The guacamole with pistachios and bacon is killer. And the carnitas tacos really great. The chicken enchiladas were soooo good. We were using the extra chips to get all the sauce. Next time we will get the tamales and try the salsa. So many choices and all look excellent. Very small restaurant with food that is so fresh and really lovely. Service was great. We had a late lunch on New Years Eve and the restaurant was not full. But I imagine most days would be full. We were lucky to get in as a last minute plan. Try it you will definitely like it.

This is a gem. The food is fantastic. The problem is the size of the restaurant and insufficient staff. I think we made reservations two weeks ahead. We still had to wait 15 minutes for a table. I'm not sure if they were short staffed that night or they just run lean, but it was an issue. If you want a great meal, go to Zona Rosa- just be patient!
