ZONA FRESCA – Mexican
Zona Fresca has long been South Florida's answer to the assembly-line burrito, and the South University Drive room keeps the formula intact: counter service, a scratch salsa bar, and a grill you can smell from the door. Go big with the Siesta Maker, light with the Cali Wrap, or work through the street tacos — machaca with poblano and queso fresco, baja fish under shredded cabbage. Chile-lime street corn and a guajillo-spiked pozole round things out. Regulars single out the freshness and the sheer size of what lands on the tray. Quick, casual, and not remotely apologetic about it.
