Good choice of argentinean and spanish flavors.

by orga3

I went there because of this good idea of mixing argentinean and spanish food.

I am so glad that it fool filled all my expectations.

All the apps were amazing.

The calamaris, the empanadas with corn, the gambas al ajillo, the cheese and ham plate,the corn.

I didn't really like the hongos portenos,(sweet bread,mushroooms,potatoes and onions).I only had one bite, it was not good.

We also share couple entrees.

The milanesa with french fries, the argentinean skirt steak(my favorite one!!!), the spanish paella, the veggies crepes, and some more.

I didn't really like the chicken. It was very poor.(no flavor)

We also share couple pitchers of sangria. blackberry and peach.

Our waiter was really friendly with us and gave us an other pitcher of sangria for free!! so nice!

And also invited us to stay in the lounge.

And that's what some of us did.

We went downstairs to the lounge and had so much fun

I am going to have dinner again at la zarza!!

  • Pros: The food,the prices,the vibe
  • Cons: the hongos portenos and the chciken.

My perfect Birthday

by fiestada3

I celebrated my birthday at La Zarza, and everything was just perfect!

The staff was really nice with us.

First we had dinner with half of my friends.

We ordered a bunch dishes (tapas and main courses)

Everything was delicious. The corn, the gambas, the empanadas, the calamaris, the assorted meat plate, the paella,the veggies canelones,etc

Also we had pitchers of sangria(blackberry flavor).

After dinner we stayed in the lounge, and the other half of my group joined us in our table.

We had such a good time. And we didn't spend that much money the had the beers at $4 and the drinks at$6!! That was the best deal ever!!

I want to thanks la zarza!!!

  • Pros: The drink deals,the staff, the music
  • Cons: ???????

Nice vibe

by juliamoe12

I was looking for a cozy and romantic place to met up with my boyfriend.

And i ended up in La Zarza.

The place is really warm with soft lighting and a lots of candles. (perfect for a date)

They had a flamenco music show that made my dinner even more romantic and special

We had a great bottle of Liugi Bosca Malbec, that we share perfectly with a nice skirt steak and the paella. For apps we did the soft shell crab and the shrimp.

All the food was amazing!

Our dessert was yummy but it took to long the same with our coffee.

The service was attentive and friendly.

  • Pros: The deco,The paella,the skirt steak,live music
  • Cons: Dessert and coffee came late.

good sangria

REVIEW FROM VERONICA RAMIREZ TO LA ZARZA

My first review in citysearch and it goes to La Zarza! I went to this restaurant because a friend told me it was very good...and he was right. I have to say that the sweetbreads , skirt steak and empanadas are great

And the sangria is way to far the best that i ever tried!!!. On the other hand , didn't like the salad, it was missing flavor. However, the atmosphere was a +++++, nice soft music with real rose petals on the benches. Will come back with friends

  • Pros: food,atmosphere,sangria
  • Cons: salad

nice atmosphere

by noah70

I highly recommend this place, the ambience is great for a date, a cocktail after work, or just to sit by yourself and listen soft live music.

I have tried sangria in so many other places. but the one from La Zarza is definitely one of my favorites, the food is so good in general, and the staff is very friendly.

Ill keep coming back.

  • Pros: Sangria,music,staff
  • Cons: watermelon margarita

great place for celebration

by la nena

We went lo La Zarza couple times for dinner before my friend's birthday.

I didn't know that this place was also a lounge.

We went around 8:00 we ordered food. A bunch of tapas like the calamaris, the empanadas, the croquetas, the patatas bravas the gambas, the provoleta,etc.

All this dishes were really delicious. The calamari were the best of the tapas!!!

Then for my entree i have the skirt steak.

But the best thing on the table was our blackberry sangria,omg!!!!!!!!!! the best sangria that i ever tried in my life, no kidding!!!! you must try it too.

Once we were done with dinner the busboy cleaned the hole table, went down and made the dinner table a lounge table.

So we staid all night long drinking and having fun.

Also they told us that we were more than 20 people so we got a stamp that we showed to the bartender to get half price drink deals!!!

Basically everything was perfect!

I am going to come back for my birthday for sure.

I loved the time that i spend at La Zarza!

  • Pros: sangria,music,food,lounge area.
  • Cons: caipirinhas, water melon margaritas

Wonderful

by Rachelnyc

I need to recommend this place to everybody.

We made a reservation for 25 ppl for a sunday evening and everything went fantastic. We ordered Prix Fixe Menu for a very reasonable price ($35 including sangria) that was absolutely delicious!, food was good as well, The "Crocantitos" (calamari) were amazing.. and the service was very attentive and helpful.

Also they had Salsa Live music!!

La Zarza was the perfect choice for us.

Highly recomended!

BEST SANGRIA

by chrisshepers

The food is great and so is the service. The waiters are friendly, with nice soft music. What else you can ask for?

The sangria is definitely the best i every tried!

Cons: The goat cheese croquets that I order as an appetizers was a little bit colder that i would be expected to be.

Overall great place! I definitely plan on coming back soon!
