ZONA FRESCA – Mexican
Fort Lauderdale is where Zona Fresca started, and the format has barely changed since: order at the counter, then build your own finish at a salsa bar stocked with salsas made from scratch on site, pico de gallo, limes and jalapeños. The grill does the heavy lifting — carne asada, charbroiled chicken and shrimp, roasted pork, braised machaca, beer-battered fish for the Bajamar burrito. Tacos come street-style or gringo-style; enchiladas, taquitos and stuffed poblanos cover the undecided. Diners come back for fresh ingredients, fair prices and portions that need two hands. Mexican food you can genuinely eat every day.
