Arrived at listed 4pm opening but a sign on the door said something about a water problem, so they weren’t open until 5. Ok, so we took a walk, and were entertained by chickens outside. Once inside, the atmosphere changes to become more festive. We...sat at the bar, and ordered draft local beer (very good) and a signature jalapeño margarita (excellent). Decor I’d describe as Mexican patio. Bartending was top-notch- again helpful with our poor Spanish (we’re trying to learn). Food was the pinnacle. She got the carnitas tacos, and I ordered the “special”, a bowl of shredded meat, beans/rice and tostones. Wicked yummy. Finished by splitting a top-notch tres leches for dessert. We are going back to this place again!More

No service at this restaurant! It's like ordering through Amazon-sit down, take a snap shot of the drink and food menu, select what you want, put your credit card information in....at that point my husband and I left and went to a restaurant that serves...you, not like a fast food place; won't go back.More

We both had the beer-battered fish tacos, the best fish tacos I’ve ever had! Very laid-back and enjoyable place for tacos and a drink.

When we sail to Culebra, we stop at Zaco’s Tacos. Today, when we stopped in, we were treated so poorly by our server that we couldn’t stay. I am really bummed because we had told our guests how good it was. Also disappointed because we...are always looking for good places to bring people on sailing trips and this one can no longer be on the list. We did hear it is under new management, maybe the new folks don’t care about good service.More

¡Delicioso! Yummy tacos, fun relaxed atmosphere. A perfect spot to eat when visiting Culebra! We got the recommendation from a very friendly and helpful person we met at the ticket office at the ferry. Definitely one of the best local spots that seems to have...something for everybody!More

The supposed manager came on throwing a fit closed everyone's tabs and kicked us all out, service was horrendous we're waiting for 35 minutes past our foods arrival for a drink which was not what we ordered only to be thrown out by the 'manager'...who up until that point had not been available. Sad to see the place to this way.More

The restaurant was so neat, the staff was SUPER friendly, the food DELICIOUS! We thoroughly...enjoyed our visit and will be back again!!More

Who would have thought that I would have one of the best burritos of my life in Culebra, Puerto Rico. Oh my god, I was so skeptical going in. Mexican food in Culebra? No way! This place delivered! Their burrito was beefy, juicy, great beans,...great meat, toasted (it really does make a difference), and all the salsa were really well made. I devoured this thing. Just do yourself a favor and go try it out.More

I managed to fit two visits to Zaco's Tacos on my most recent Culebra vacation and both were filled with delicious food and fantastic cocktails. The bartender Kevin was super friendly and fun and an excellent mixologist (you can also find him bartending at Dinghy...Dock a few nights a week). The carnitas burrito, spicy sweet potato tacos, and pina coladas were some of my faves! And we were also appreciative of how very accommodating they were for my vegan dining companion.More

We had the fish tacos and the carnitas tacos. Both were great. The mixed drinks were super refreshing. Great cucumber, mango and watermelon margaritas (that’s 3 types, not one drink!). The atmosphere was nice too. Cool spot on a hot day.

Service was slow as might be expected secondary to staffing shortage. Menu was limited but quite adequate. The 3 tacos were quite tasty. I just wished that we'd have time to sample some of the varied margarita options!

No idea. But I would call them 787-742-0243 and ask. The holiday is a big deal so it's worth giving places a call as you get closer to your travel. Enjoy the islands.
