| About: | Zuzu's Handmade Mexican is a popular lunch site because it is a place where you can get real Mexican food very quickly. The grilled chicken fajitas are flavored and marinated and brought to the table sizzling. The quesadillas are another house favorite. Tortilla chips are free with meals and you can choose your favorite salsa from a fully loaded salsa bar. Entrees are a great value, as they come with two side items and the portions are always ample. If you are not in the mood for a margarita, try the peach and mango-flavored iced teas. |

I ate at the downtown location on 7th street and I was pleased with my meal. I thought the prices were a tad high for the portions you recieve but it was worth it and if you compare the prices to other downtown restaurants I'm sure it's reasonable. The seasoned potatoes and side salad are SO DELICIOUS the flavor is just amazing even though they aren't really what I would think of as mexican dishes. They also have this red mild salsa that has a roasted flavor that I enjoyed so much I actually found myself dipping a piece of my tortilla in the dish so I could get every last drop of it out of there.
Bottom line--this is really good mexican food that is relatively low fat. They use black refried beans that are NOT made with lard (thank heaven) and they don't use a lot of greasy cheeses or smother things in sour cream (although I'm sure you could get them to if you like that sort of thing). They use seasoning to give food flavor, not fat and the service is good.
Great food!: A great find in downtown Clayton!
So fresh and so yummy: Zuzu's is great. Get the taste of mexican without the heaviness. Very fresh ingredients and very fresh taste. Great salsa bar, great combo plates. Try the potatoes and don't pass up a chnace to sip on a refreshing Pacifico.
