Stopped in for happy hour tacos. I ordered the Gringo, Fish and shredded beef tacos and have nothing but good things to say about flavour. It was definitely just the right amount of food for me and, at $2.50 each, not bad for a meal. The only catch with the happy hour deal is you have to order a drink in order to get the tacos. The service was incredibly friendly, we were seated and got food quickly, however, it took a while to get the receipt and pay (which was a bit frustrating as my friend and co-eater had to get to her shift).

This is a great little place right in the heart of the food and drink sector" of the Market. If you like cantina style Mexican munchies

Friendly service and a nice atmosphere. However the quality of the food could be better. Most Mexican restaurants that I’ve been to usually have house made salad. At Zak’s the salsa tasted as if it came Costco. Also it would have been nice to have a greater variety of hot sauces to complement the food. Overall, not the best value for your money in my opinion.

Eclectic by design and bursting with colours. The idea of having a school bus you can dine in, inside the restaurant was absolute genius. The whole theme of the place makes it a fun experience. The menu offerings match the aesthetic appearance, and the friendly staff bring it all together. Great place to come with kids as well. Our daughter enjoyed playing in the little kitchen while we waited for our food.

The place is a good experience...especially if you have kids and want to sit inside a bus. Covid protocols are in place. Food quantity is good and the service being covid with reduced staff was good as well

More for the aesthetics and atmosphere, but the food tasted average. My friend said it was the best nachos she had though. Also I feel like the best part of the restaurant was because you get to sit in a bus and eat your food. The bus does not sit big groups so if your group is bigger than 4 than you'll have to separate.

I have been coming to Zak’s Cantina for quite some time now, and I must say, it’s quite delicious. It’s not the most authentic Mexican food, but that’s fine. For the price, you do get a lot of food. The mixed drinks also aren’t that expensive either. The staff changes quite a bit and sometimes, the service than be quite slow. Other than that, it’s a great place to get food.

What a pleasant surprise. I was hesitant to go as I'm not a ran of Zaks diner (it's sister restaurant) but we were looking for a quick tasty meal. We had nachos (which were huge) and a burrito bowl. It was very tasty and a decent portion. It needed a little bit of spicy seasoning to put it over the top.The bus inside the restaurant was very fun and with an elevated view of the bar a great place to people watch. The bartender looked like he was making some yummy cocktails.I would go back. Might just give Zaks diner a second chance.

Good flavourful food, decent quantities and a reasonable amount of variety. Slightly pricey but you can get drinks which is a plus. Very peppy interiors and responsive staff.. would go back!
