- LTLets TutDec 26, 20255.0The barbecue was excellent, the ribs fall off the bone and delicious like they should be. The services couldn’t be better. The place is clean. Highly recommended. The baked bean, sweet potato fries and Cole slaw
- KHKen HarrisDec 25, 20252.0Zona Rosa restaurant:My wife and I had dinner Christmas eve 2025. We both ordered the prime beef rib and burnt ends brisket. Food was warm not hot. Parts were chewy and not tender. I don't know if the they precook and reheat to order, but it should have come to the table sizzling and it was no where near where it should of been. Sides were decent enough. My wife wanted the bake beans but the waitress couldn't tell us if it was pork or beef in the bake beans and she didn't care to go ask the chef, so my wife had to settle for another side.
- FQFrankie QuinteroDec 14, 20251.0Women’s bathroom was disgusting. Food was not great. Served cold. The meats came out cold and 10 minutes before the sides. Sauce came out 10 minutes after the sides. Water wasn’t refilled the entire visit. Our kids were brought the wrong order. I never leave such bad reviews but I’m annoyed that I spent my money here. Only good thing said about the food was that at least the Mac and cheese isn’t Kraft….
