El Zason — Restaurant in New York

Lotus Leaf and I came here for a catch-up brunch before the holidays. Upon entry, the restaurant was beautifully decorated but, empty. Other than the one waitress and the chef in the back. They had Christmas music playing and the game on the few big screen TVs. Unfortunately, the restaurant was a bit on the colder side. I don't think they had the heat on and the area towards the bathroom was freezing.

We ordered a Mexican hot chocolate ($3.50) to warm up. The hot chocolate was warm and tasty. I was able to taste a hint of cinnamon. I love the cute mugs the hot chocolate came in.

I ordered the chilaquiles de la casa ($14) and Lotus ordered the Sunny Side Up eggs ($14). The dishes came out hot and beautifully presented with a big portion of food. However, my entree was disappointing and quite flavorless. The chips were drenched in tasteless sauce and quite soggy. The sunny side eggs were delicious and the mole sauce was superb.

The hubby and I went for a late lunch and I can honestly say 5 stars isn't enough stars for El Zason. We had passion fruit margaritas and a strawberry mojito. Both were fantastic but the margarita was definitely our favorite, highly recommend!!! We shared a chorizo fundido and it was out of this world amazing! Finally, we had steak and chicken fajitas. I'm a steak gal and my husband is a chicken guy. I tried a bite of his and it was so flavorful!! Even the rice, regular white rice, was prepared so well! My steak was cooked perfectly and was absolutely delicious! Our waiter was super sweet and attentive. If you are in the area, want amazing food and drinks, El Zason will absolutely tick all the boxes!!
