Great service and delicious food.After three visits, confident in endorsing Zama as a sure fire people pleaser. Even my picky eight year old asked to come back. Complimentary chips and salsa are okay, but the entrées are tasty and generously portioned.The staff is attentive and polite. A manager walks around checking in on diners.

Completely tone deaf! Went for dinner yesterday. We were showed to a high top in the bar area. Looking forward to a relaxing dinner after a tough work week. Placed our orders and drinks and were munching on chips when we heard a really loud pop. Sounded like a gunshot. Made me jump out of my skin and wanted to "hit the deck". Apparently, one of the hosts overinflated a balloon and it popped -- really loudly. Then, as we observed, while one was inflating new ones, the other two started using pens to pop balloons that had gone a little flat. Basically, all you're hearing is balloons popping non-stop. Not the least bit relaxing or calming. I guess they don't realize that NO ONE likes the sound of popping balloons. After they were done popping the old balloons, they started blowing up new ones that continued to burst and sounded like gunshots. I jumped every time one popped -- it's instinctual. At one time, a couple walked in while one of the hosts overinflates the balloon and it popped right in front of them and the couple jumped -- that should have been the clue to stop. Why are you doing that during dinner? I get that you may have nothing to do but when the balloons keep bursting, it's time to stop!In this day of mass shooting and people getting shot in public places, this is extremely tone deaf! Every time I heard a loud pop, I wanted to duck. Finally, having eaten only a quarter of our dinner, we realized it was just too nerve-wracking to eat there. We asked for to-go boxes, explained to our server and packed up our dinner. As we headed out, we stopped by the host stand to explain to them that it was very nerve-wracking to hear constant pops and that it can be PTSD-inducing for some and not the environment diners wants to be in. They didn't even apologize -- they just laughed at us. Management needs to train staff better. Realize what's going on around us in this day and age -- loud pops that sound like gunfire is scary. Blow your balloons up when diners are not in your restaurant -- if you can't do it without constantly popping them.

Nice Mexican restaurant. More classy than most. Nice ambience. Mounted flat screen Tvs. Nice bar area. Good music. I'm not really into Mexican food (went because it's a friend's favorite cuisine). I got the burger and fries with side of fruit. Everything was hot and fresh. Delicious. She enjoyed her meal too. Prompt service. Complimentary chips and salsa

Yes.If you are in the East Cobb Marietta area and want Mexican this is your go-to place. Roasted tomato salsa made daily and five star burritos. Authentic atmosphere, very capable employees and a gourmet Mexican vibe. Mi burrito cost like a dollar fifty more then my regular spot, more than worth it.Encore!Back for another visit and the food was better than the first time! Burrito Americano with extra lettuce and tomato.

I dont know what cheese they put in their quesadillas but it was ?! The shrimp and tostones were so delish as well!

So many issues right now at this restaurant. First, Owner and GM doesn't listen to complaints or handle the issues. Several kegs are empty w/no replacements. Not a supply chain issue for that today. The beer has tasted bad for a while, and nothing has been done about it. Prices have increased more than any other restaurant in the area. They used to have lollipops for the kids, they are ¼ of the size now. We were there over an hour and Danielle, the hostess starts changing a TV channel, we told her we were watching it and she changed it anyway. 99% of the employees don’t know how to change a channel and they have so few channels; you can’t even watch a Braves game. They have several TVs and for years they have had issues and they refuse to fix them. Went to the bathroom, out of TP and trash on the floor. The paper towels are set to barely give you 5” of paper. I love the bartenders and servers, but I refuse to go to a restaurant where the guests are not appreciated.

Food was served extremely quickly. Meat on burrito, taco and enchilada was cold. The made my taco wrong three times. The manager was rude and still charged me full price for cold food. To fix cold meat problem, the manager microwaved our plates (plates were too hot to touch after being back in the kitchen for five minutes).It looks nice on the inside, but the food and service was disgusting!!!Save your money and go elsewhere! ????????

I love the Mexican pizza. It easily feeds 2-3 people and is great. Truth be told, nothing I’ve ever ordered was less than stellar. The wait staff is always very good if not sometimes overwhelmed. It’s a great place to go to relax but skip it if you’re in a hurry.
