Great food, wonderful service, and friendly atmosphere! I dropped by Zamora's for breakfast and was treated to the equivalent of a wonderful home cooked meal! Give Zamora's a try!

6/14/24 update: So far this place has always had great food, clean and great service. No complaints here. 10/10/23 Update: Food was delicious like always. Update: Went again and food was great again, but service not so much. Ordered two botanas for 6 and I have no complaints. For was good and warm. It was a lot, we could have a 6 and a 4 and still had leftovers.

Huevos Rancheros is absolutely the best you can have for breakfast. Everything was fresh and cooked to order.

Stopped by today and ordered a beef botana for 2. It was delicious. The fajitas were very tender and flavorful. Our server was fantastic. He was very friendly, courteous and attentive. He was very professional. I wish I would've got his name to mention it here. Update, stoppedby here again today. Got fish plates, one rancheros and the other fried. Both were very good.
