Zarza Latin Food & Grill - Winter Haven

We LOVE Zarza! We go to the location in Lakeland often. So when we were looking for a good place to eat after a trip to Legoland, I cannot tell you how excited I was to see they now have a location just 5 minutes down the road from the park. The Lomo Saltado did not disappoint (one of our favorites). And the kids were happy with the chicken nuggets and French fries. They have a large selection of Latin American food and the service was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

Moving from South FL we were seeking a sit-down place like La Granja, El Balcon de las Americas, La Brasa or Pollo Tropical. We decided to give this place a try since it’s closer than driving to Lakeland, and it did not disappoint!! The man that took our order seemed to be the owner and he gave us great customer service, despite us unknowingly arriving within the last hour of business. We did not feel rushed and the owner expressed much appreciation for giving the spot a try. The food was very delicious, I regret not taking a picture beforehand. We had the 1/4 chicken special with rice, red beans and fries. All the sauces were very good too. I’m surprised at the more negative reviews, but I’m glad my experience was quite the opposite and I would recommend anyone to give this place a try!

Order online and the website automatically uses the shop app. Ordered over 30 minutes ago and checked the app and it said ready within 1 hour and I’ll get a notification when it’s done. Called them after 30 minutes and they said it’s been ready 5-10 minutes after order. So that’s 20+ minutes sitting there. I ordered a chicken meal and arapa. I get there and he says it’ll be ten more minutes. The chicken was still on the grill (40 minutes after ordering) and the arapa had to be “cooked” aka it wasnt ready. Got the food and chicken was very chewy where I couldn’t cut it with a knife barely. Had to bite into it just to realize it was absolutely hard and disgusting. Maybe 1/4 of this chicken breast was actually decent. Will never order from there again which sucks because i live 2 minutes awa

Delicious food! We ordered the half chicken special with rice and beans and a steak burrito. Everything was delicious! The sauce bar has lots of options like pico de gallo, onions and jalapeños, cilantro garlic sauce and more. Service was great. Definitely coming back

We just discovered this place and had the Fried Rice. My wife had chicken only and I had chicken and steak. This was some of the best food I've ever eaten. It was truly outstanding, with just the right amount of spices without being overwhelming, very large portions, and the meat had great flavor and was done to perfection. We'll definitely be going back. The lady who took our order was also very kind.
