Move over ordinary, there's a new sheriff in town! 🌮🔥 After months of tantalizing drive-bys, I finally pulled over and waltzed into the flavor-packed wonderland that is Zona Norte Tacos & Grill (@zonanortesjc on Instagram). Nestled on Paseo de los Marinos, just a skip away from Guacamayas, this gem is the real deal.
Last night, the señor and I stepped into a world of culinary enchantment, and oh boy, our taste buds did a happy dance! The fiesta kicked off with a Mescalita and a Margarita that landed on our table with a flourish. As we perused the menu, our hearts settled on the charro beans and a Caesar's Salad to start the party.
The charro beans were like a flavor explosion, packed with salchicha and chorizo goodness. And that Caesar's Salad? Dressed to impress and boasting a dressing that screamed "made with love." Deliciousness level: off the charts!
Now, let's talk about the main event - the tacos! We went for the sirloin and arrachera varieties, and let me tell you, each bite was like a flavor fiesta in our mouths. While eagerly awaiting our taco feast, we got chatty with our waiter, who spilled the beans (pun intended) on the Elotes Saltiados. Cue an impromptu order, and let me tell you, those buttery, sweet bites were so good, I had to resist a corny dance right then and there.
The tacos arrived, sizzling with perfectly grilled meat, and the house-made salsa and guacamole were the unsung heroes that took the experience to a whole new level. Flan temptation lingered, but alas, our bellies declared victory in the battle of willpower.
Move aside, Hangman and Guacamaya, because Zona Norte is throwing down some serious competition. It's not just a restaurant; it's a flavor-packed fiesta that blows the others out of the water. Super cute, cozy, with food that hits all the right notes, and service that's nothing short of excellent. Don't just walk; run to Zona Norte Tacos & Grill, and prepare to be wowed. Spoiler alert: you won't be disappointed! 💃🌮🎉
