What a nice experience the service and the atmosphere. We had the impression to take our meal TO GO and the owner immediately invited us to dine in. Everything was delicious 10/10.

Can't wait to go back!!

We are from out of town and found this place thru google and we are so happy we did. It’s a really delicious place run by a mom and her daughter. We got the birria tacos and the chicken tacos and they were incredible. The birria tacos were my favorite . Make sure to get the chips and guacamole too because they are so so fresh and tasty. Authentic and homemade, everything was so fresh. Don’t pass this place up!!

Well let me tell you this place killed it. Food was very fresh and portions are big enough for left overs. The guacamole is the best I’ve ever had and would easily drive an hour for that alone not to mention everything else on the menu. The staff is very friendly and inviting just overall awesome experience, will definitely be going back!

My girlfriend and i found this place randomly on doordash and decided to try. We would later find out that it has literally become a weekly visit. Food is amazing no complaints. Anybody reading this needs to try the Al Pastor burritos it is without a doubt the best burrito i have ever had.

Side note: their churros are amazing!!

The greatest authentic food and people! We had such a wonderful experience talking to the family that owns Zacosayu Tacos. We talked for hours about their family history and what led them to opening. The birria is phenomenal and tortillas are homemade. Genuine flavors are hard to come by, this is the place to go!

If you are traveling anywhere within 100 miles of Hazelton, you simply must must must enjoy a meal at Zacosayu Tacos! The interior is really small, with only a table for 2, a table for 4, and counter seats for 3. But you aren't going for ambiance, you are going for flavor and authenticity, two things that are overflowing in abundance at this little spot.

The menu is just perfect in terms of size, variety, and customizability. The staff is attentive to all your needs too, and make sure you order what you actually want. I ordered a carnitas burrito and was immediately asked if I wanted everything it came with. We went over my options and I was grateful for such attention to detail. Our pescatarian teenager custom ordered some meatless tacos without problem. And my wife had a great conversation at the register about taco recommendations and sauce suggestions. It's like being at Mom's house and she goes out of her way to make all her kids happy, no matter what was in her original meal plan for the night.

I watched as they prepared my burrito on the griddle and I knew I was in for a special meal. They started by putting huge portions of cheese right on the flattop. Then the tortilla on top. A short while later, the chef picked up the tortilla and the cheese was gooily all stuck to the tortilla, none to the griddle. She then added the rice, refried beans, lettuce, and carnitas. Wrapped up, griddled some more and my burrito was stuffed to the brim, bursting with flavor, and perfectly crispy on the outside.

The refried beans were some of the best I ever tasted. The rice was wonderful and the lettuce added some crispness to the inside. But the star of the show was the carnitas. They were absolutely divine, succulent, flavorful, and plenty of other positive adjectives. Melt in your mouth deliciousness.

My wife got two tacos, one of which was Al Pastor. She described it as one of the best Al Pastors she has ever had. We're thirty minutes from the restaurant now and she's still raving about it. And our teenagers tacos got great reviews too, especially the cheese which looked toasted and crispy as if it was prepared straight on the griddle for the perfect amount of time.

The staff made the service wonderful, with the attention to detail I mentioned previously and also with taking the time to chat with us and the other patrons about the food, how we found the place, etc. They were just oozing with warmth and kindness and it just added to an already amazing experience.

As for ambiance, it's a tight place without much room for more. A little messy behind the counter with what looks like some unused equipment just taking up space. Tidy that up and it'll improve the look and feel of the place significantly. The restaurant has speakers and were playing Carin Leon for the whole meal, which the patrons next to us were singing along to. That gave such a good vibe to the experience too. And the sign hanging outside the bathroom is warm and endearing. You will feel good eating at Zacosayu Tacos, that's for sure.

We picked eating at Zacosayo Tacos because we happened to be driving through Hazelton and needed to eat. We always look to Google Maps for restaurants in new places to us. Zacosayu Tacos showed up as a 5 star restaurant in town. We happily add one more 5 star review to this amazing Mexican gem.
