" I had a delightful experience at Z South last week with my coworkers! It was our first time visiting, and we loved the mutual vibe in the restaurant. Each dish I tried was fantastic; the pork carnitas were melt-in-your-mouth and the homemade chips were fresh and crispy. Our server was enthusiastic and helped us find tasty drink pairings. I can't recommend this place enough! Perfect for group outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Z South offers an authentic Mexican dining experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. The flautas and homemade chips were fantastic! The restaurant is quite small, which can make it loud at times, but the buzz of happy diners adds to the atmosphere. Service was friendly, but it took a bit longer during our visit. I would recommend this restaurant for its great food, but maybe visit during odd hours to avoid the crowds. " (*Curated Review*)

" Z South is one of those charming local gems! I have eaten there a few times now and have enjoyed each visit. The chili relleno is exceptional—perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. The decorations inside are tasteful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Service is typically good, although there have been moments of delay, but the quality of food makes it worth the wait. Don’t miss out on their margaritas as well—they're delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Z South last weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was inviting, with nice décor and comforting music playing in the background. The food was fresh, and the flavors stood out, especially in the grilled shrimp tacos. I appreciated the fast service and how kind the staff was. I could definitely see myself returning, this place may be a new favorite in Bonsall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Z South has become one of our favorite local spots! With its warm atmosphere and great hospitality, it’s hard not to love this place. The enchiladas are a definite must-try—so flavorful! I also love their margaritas—they pack a punch! The only downside is that the restaurant can be quite busy, and service may slow down a bit. But it's worth the wait for good food and ambiance!

" 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*)
