"What impressed me even more was the exceptional customer service. The head chef is incredibly passionate about the cuisine, his heritage, and his family. He prepared all our meals to order—even though he typically doesn't do that—and he even treated us to some sweet fried plantains because he was so eager for us to try them. If I didn’t live so far away, I would definitely come here every day. I also heard that the guava pastries are so popular they often sell out within the first hour of opening, and I’m always on the lookout for those delightful treats. Overall, this restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a date, a family gathering, or even a solo visit."

Very friendly employees and the foods were fantastic! Definitely come back when we’re in this neighborhood. BTW, half of the foods were already taken by my kids before I took a picture! :

Great variety of great Cuban food and friendly atmosphere. Don't be surprised if the family owners and operators pay attention to your needs and tastes. A gem of a tasty, friendly and authentic tastes of Cuban food.

This is the Cuban restaurant you've been searching for! There is no better in Colorado. The pork is slow cooked to perfection and the staff is always so friendly. They serve real Cuban style coffee that is strong but never bitter

Oh my God this deliciouness was amazing. I don't remember what it was called, some kind of steak, but it melted in my mouth it was so tender and juicy! Huge portion of food that left me full with a lot of beans and rice still on the plate. Service was amazing and the owner even brought our food out to us. He was super friendly and wore a sincere, engaging smile! View menu

My friend and I went for the cubano sandwich. It came with three fried plantains which were a nice sweet accompaniment. The family that runs the place is friendly and we felt so welcome when we arrived. We were given samples of the days specials and had we not been set on the sandwiches we definitely would have had one of those. The meat in the cubanos was tender and juicy. I would have liked more pickles, but I could have asked and didn’t.

The owners are incredibly friendly! The food was absolutely delicious. The croquettes were outstanding, and you have to try the Cuban tostada. The Piccadillo was a bit disappointing, but that was the only dish that fell short. Definitely don't miss the guava and cheese empanadas, and the red beans and rice were fantastic! Both the tres leches cake and the rice pudding were also tasty. I'm just naming everything, but I highly recommend it all!

The veggie plate was quite delicious, and the macaroon I had was excellent as well. I also tried the rice pudding cake, but my husband devoured it before I could snap a photo—it was fantastic! The staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and eager to answer any questions we had. The atmosphere inside was wonderful. The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is that the food was a bit oily. We definitely plan to return during our next visit to Colorado. View menu

"1 year update: My favorite restaurant, being a Lakewood local. Best joint around, hands down. The owner Vince Chere who will probably greet you are just amazing people. Come here, you won't regret it. Celiac safe too! Chere the one who took my order today and Vince, the owner, are AMAZING. I have Celiac disease so eating out can be hard and frustrating because not only my allergy to gluten but gluten free food that has been cross contaminated with food that does have gluten (shared surfaces, shared deep fryers, pans utensils et cetera) but NOT AT ZEST! Even though they are not a dedicated gluten free restaurant both Chere and Vince went out of their way to tell me what was safe (pretty much everything) and not only what was safe but how they were going to prepare it to make it safe, giving me peace of mind. I got the Pork Chop off the dinner menu and it was AMAZING! Zest is a small cozy place, bar, with great outdoor seating and a nice breakfast setting. Next time I'm trying breakfast and next dinner a GF Pizza. After this amazing first experience I'll be back again and again, probably tomorrow! If you're looking for well priced high quality food, Zest is it. Got celiac disease or on a GF diet? Zest is the best. Support this small business and enjoy some amazing food, service, and conversation. EDIT FOR SECOND MEAL EXPERIENCE Got the Buffalo Slider with truffle fries they used corn starch instead of flour just for my allergy, and fried in a separate pan. Amazing burger, HUGE too. Picture makes the burger look boring and fries look weird (mostly due to the cornstarch) but trust me that is the way it should look because it's the best GF buffalo burger I've ever had."
