z-teca Mexican Eatery

Fresh and clean ingredients are the name of the game at this Z Teca location.

Real pride of ownership in the quality of food and level of service received.

My favorite place to visit when I'm craving a fresh and filling meal in Waterloo.

Highly recommend!

I ordered online, they were super quick and efficient. The estimate time they provided was accurate, and it was a decent amount of food for the price.

Staff were very warm and welcoming! Food was delicious, will be back next time we are in Waterloo.

Food is over cooked and waaaay over salted. Prices average for this area of town, but still too high for the food received.

Food is soooo good but staff rushed you through your entire order and throws all the toppings in- like calm down

The food was good. The chicken rice bowl was fantastic.
And the atmosphere was nice. Quiet enough to sit and chat with coworkers

I ordered from here today. The food was amazing. Excatly what I asked for. Packed with flavor and definitely helped me hit my veggie craving. Quality of the Salad was amazing and the corn side dish is delicious. Definitely recommend.

You know what, I'll say it - best burrito in Waterloo. Every time I come here the service is friendly and excellent, and every time I love what I am eating. I am the biggest advocate that we need more Chipotles in Ontario, but until that day this place is my go to. And honestly, it might even be better than Chipotle in my mind at this point. All the ingredients taste fresh and of the highest quality. The burritos are stout and sturdy, and not at all sloppy, with as much integrity as the artists who fashion them. I'm in love with the girl who was right next to me the whole time.

Amazing food, taste and service! We were a large group with a few dietary restrictions and both the girls Shikha and Charan went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were addressed! Quick service and great taste! Highly recommend.

It was alright, although my burrito was chronically under-filled and drowned in sauce. Better then a lot of the other chain Mexican places, but far from authentic and steak was very chewy

Dropped in here to get a burrito to go. It was stuffed full and very tasty. From that one experience it's a seriously good place to get Mexican food.

Great place, great portions, great taste, great and friendly staff and service, and it's healthy and quick. I enjoy grabbing a taco or burrito from here every so often, and I've never had a bad experience.

BBQ pork corn tacos were a yummy appetizer to start with. Chicken quesadilla was big, crunchy, with lots of meat and cheese and pickled onion and cilantro garnish - tasted wonderful with sour cream on the side:) The tortilla soup was excellent with a strong savoury bean flavour and crispy nacho topping! There are big windows facing the LRT train, great location Service was quick and friendly highly recommend this place! Will keep this restaurant in mind next time we are in the area

Salsa etc tasted fresh, but it took a long time for the single server to serve the five members in our group, so my food went cold. Other customers left rather than wait. Our group enjoyed their tacos overall. Nachos made with nasty processed cheese.

For the first time, I visit this restaurant and order a vegetable burrito and there are no vegetables. The chips are normal and with no salsa. They give sour cream with a quesadilla and it tastes bad.overall it is a bad experience. I will never visit this restaurant again.

I ordered from this restaurant, I asked for utensils and I didn’t get any, could not eat the Esquites
Very dissatisfied with ordering,

I was quite disheartened by the crispy chicken burrito bowl. The bowl itself was quite tasty, the issue though is it was just two TINY pieces of chicken strips.

Really enjoyed everything! I would like try to improve the consistencies of the fish. I order 3 fish tacos and the first one, was amazing. But the other two tasted older and looked a bit grey.

The beef was great and the shrimp!

Overall, i would come back!

Tryed for first time today ordered steak found the food to be bland and boring will say the pico was fresh also wonder if its normal to get chips with no salsa never had that happen anywhere else

I tried to order online but when I am checking out, it keeps saying “Missing Customer Information”. I tried calling but keeps going to voicemail. I wonder how they’re still in business when I can’t even place my order. (Couldn’t find them on Uber Eats either!)

Very nice restaurant good ambience wonderful staff. Awesome dishes I visited there a lot of time and had rice bowl tacos amazing taste.

We had the burrito bowl, taco bowl and the nachos.
Delicious authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend
this restaurant! Go try it, support local!

Delicious. I had a salad bowl and it was super hearty and filling. Family had tacos, burrito bowls and nachos. Only to criticize is how soggy the nachos were. Wouldn't get them again. Everything else was delicious.

This place needs to get more exposure. Good value, and fresh Mexican food right by the square. I recommend the tortilla soup — delicious on a cold winter day!

I had the shrimp bowl with the pineapple and mango salsa. Ok serving size, was not very filling though. Not much flavor either. Tastes ok.

Small portions when ordering taco and quesadilla - not stuffed with filling like other spots in town are. Very few topping / filling options (eg.no jalapeno). Disappointed that they only have a soft tortilla option instead of a crispy version too.

Great fast food mexican restaurant. Tortilla soup is a good option for a lighter, but still filling meal (chicken and tofu options for the soup)

Clean environment. I was a little underwhelmed by the toppings options. It's basically salsa and cilantro. I had the barbocoa and was again disappointed with the amount of meat. When it was all said and done I didn't find much flavour.
