There are two contemporary Mexican restaurants on The Alameda, but the one we keep returning to is Zona Rosa, with a menu of creative dishes like tempura scallop and asparagus tacos and chile relleno filled with carnitas and chorizo. We’re especially fans of the weekday Happy Hour when refreshing margaritas made with ingredients like prickly pear, hibiscus, and chili are just $8. The front and back patios are always great choices for large groups and celebrations.
