Ori'zaba's Scratch Mexican Grill Spring Valley

I love the flavor freshness of their food! They obviously use high quality ingredients, and their chicken and beef is always cooked to perfection, never overcooked. They have an excellent variety of vegan and vegetarian options: Their plant based queso is PHENOMENAL, and better than any dairy based cheese sauce I've ever had! I love that I can add cubed potatoes and cabbage to my burrito or bowl, instead of the usual water logged lettuce from Chipotle or Cafe Rio. Their shredded beef is always tender and flavorful, and their salty lime flavored tortilla chips are very addicting. I have to admit that for the price, the portions are getting smaller when I order a bowl. Ordering a burrito seems to be the better value, with anywhere from 25% 30% more food. I never walk away paying less than $18 for just myself, without a drink. I think it's worth it, just not too often. The only complaint I have is the atmosphere and service, which is why I only get takeout anymore. Whenever I walk in during a lull, the staff seem so annoyed to have to stop what they're doing to take my order. I always patiently wait in line, quiet and smiling, while they all stand around and chat. I've never complained to them and always am respectful, and I've seen them do this to others too, so I know its not personal. It usually takes a solid 2 minutes for someone to take my order when it's just me. Another thing is the atmosphere is very unwelcoming after 6pm. They close at 8pm, but as early as 6pm the staff arrange all the chairs in the dining room into one big circle, so no one can sit there. That leaves only 4 6 huge booths to sit in, and many of those booths are occupied by single guests. I get takeout almost all the time now, so it doesn't bother me too much. Just seems rude. Otherwise they have great food.

Great concept. But not done very well. The black beans were undercooked and cold and the diced chicken was room temperature.

This place was a quick stop but was amazing! Everyone was nice! The food was so fresh! We got a huge steak burrito, a chicken bowl with guacamole, and chicken taquitos! The Restaurant and bathroom were clean! The food was soooooo good! Taquitos were it was like a chipotle but more fresh and bigger potions.

This is my go-to place after the gym. Zaba's is a healthy alternative to fast food. It is one of the only Mexican places that offer potatoes and shrimp as items for your meal. The food quality is superb, and the staff is amiable. Usually very fast and always enough food to keep you full. Portion sizes are above average, which sets them apart in a good way. They even offer a discount for LVAC members. This is a must-go!

Absolutely delicious! I got the shredded beef burrito and it did not disappoint. It was very fresh tasting. You can tell they use good ingredients! I?ll definitely be back!
