Customer Reviews
Our server was great; friendly and helpful with recommendations! The drinks are good. I enjoyed the empanadas and ceviche. Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked. The mariscos arroces were ok, I liked the clams. But the empanadas, ceviche and Brussels sprouts were phenomenal. The dessert was also good too! Perfect spot for girls night or date night
I already can’t wait to go again! Located right by Discovery Green, Zaranda is the perfect spot for a seafood-lover like me, although the menu has plenty of options for all preferences. My favorite dishes were the Taco de Pato, Tostada de Tiradito, and Arroz de Mariscos. They also have an extensive wine and cocktail list - I loved the Zaranda Rita, which is made with hibiscus. On top of that, the interior is gorgeous and our server, Manuel, made sure we were well taken care of. Overall, the food, drinks, ambiance, and service were all 10/10. I would highly recommend visiting Zaranda, both for groups or for a date night downtown.
We had a great experience dining at Zarandas. All of the items we ordered tasted great. We ordered the ostiones asados (roasted oysters), mini tortas de res (small sliders), taco de pescado estilo baja (fish taco), taco de camarón (shrimp taco), ensalada Caesar (Caesar Salad), tostada de langosta (lobster tostada), tacos de lomo de res (steak taco) and the pescado zarandeado (grilled fish). The zaranda rita was also great. The standout items were the roasted oysters, the grilled fish, and the baja fish taco. I’d come back to have those again for sure and I’d want to try more items as well. The erizo Del Mar was good for dessert too. Valet can be paid for at your table with your meal before heading out.
Made a reservation for dinner on January 31st. Our server, Patricia, was friendly, attentive, and explained a variety of dishes on the menu. The customer service was warm and thoughtful from start to finish. The food was fantastic too! My personal favorite was the table service for the Cesar salad and the Picanha! We can wait to bring the rest of our family soon!
What a delightful Tuesday night I had here. Great food! Fresh and tasty! Right out of the sea! Great drinks and a beautiful desert menu. Wanna go back to try it all. Highly recommend for friends gathering and birthday too. Actually every occasion gois with the beautiful atmosphere here. It’s a must of the downtown area.
