" After hearing mixed reviews, I finally tried Z South with friends last weekend. The atmosphere was lively, and I immediately noticed the vibrant décor. As for the food, the guacamole was fresh and delicious, but I felt the main dishes were a bit underwhelming—nothing too exciting flavor-wise. Perhaps my expectations were too high given some of the high praise. Service was decent, with our drinks being prompt but our food taking longer than expected. I may give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our recent family dinner at Z South, we were all satisfied with our meals. The kids loved their tacos and burritos, while I was impressed with the authenticity of the carne asada. The size of the portions was generous, making it great value for the price. On the downside, our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed with a large party just ahead of us, resulting in slower service than anticipated. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we will definitely return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a foodie, I aim for authenticity in flavor, and Z South did not entirely deliver for me. The ambiance was distinctly inviting, and I must say the service was friendly and accommodating. However, while my birria tacos were decent, I found the flavor to be mild for a Mexican restaurant. The sides of rice and beans felt basic as well. I appreciate the effort but hope they enhance the flavors to truly capture authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had a few hit-or-miss meals at Z South. On my last visit, I felt the taco fillings were slightly bland. The service was hit-or-miss too; while some servers were incredibly warm and attentive, others seemed distant. I appreciate the complimentary chips and salsa, but I wish they would offer unique salsas instead of the basic options. I think Z South has potential, but it needs some refinement in execution. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Z South a few times, and it's always been a mixed experience for me. The atmosphere is nice, and there’s a cozy feel, but I’ve encountered a few inconsistencies with service. One time the food took ages to arrive. While I believe in giving second chances, I wish they would streamline their process to ensure better service for diners. The food is good, but could be elevated to truly stand out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Z South is absolutely fantastic! The food is superb; I can’t recommend their pollo asado enough. The flavors are rich and authentic! Our server made sure we were well taken care of, and even shared her recommendations for cocktails, which were also phenomenal. The outdoor seating area is enchanting in the evening. It's worth visiting for the ambiance alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my last experience at Z South did not meet my expectations. Although the ambiance is charming and cozy, the service was significantly slow. We waited far too long for our drinks and then for our food. When it finally arrived, the tacos were average, lacking the boldness I anticipated. I would suggest staff issues might be at play since the restaurant appears understaffed during peak times. I’m hoping my next visit will be better. " (*Curated Review*)
