Zel's Del Mar

My wife and I have been coming to Zel,s for years we were there recently on a Friday night after a hike from Torrey Pines stopped in for a salad which she always gets used to be $14 now it’s $17 she would literally would say oh my God oh my God when she ate it this time I looked over no oh my God I said what happened she says they didn’t put enough cashews they didn’t put enough tortilla strips on a scale of one to 10 what would you give it she said a 5 I ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza asked for Parmesan when the bill came we found out it was a dollar very disappointing we asked the waiter he said that they had a new chef how hard is it to make a salad not saying we won’t be back but hopefully next time the Food is better

My wife and I had a wonderful Valentine Dinner at Zel's The food was delicious and service excellent. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Bread Pudding is spectacular and not to be missed. The "Veggie Burger" is one of the best in San Diego. These guys have upped their game.

So glad we stopped in! We have passed it on walks many times but finally stopped in for dinner. The food was fantastic and service was great!! We will definitely be back soon. Parking: 2 at the restaurant and street parking near. Can be difficult to find a spot at peak times but the walk is usually pretty nice anyway.

Saturday morning drove down for breakfast at 9 am opening. Place was closed with no warning. Disappointing in extreme. Learn to update your hours on Google as a courtesy to customers.

One of the best family-run restaurants in Del Mar! The food and staff are always 10/10. Zel's is our go-to spot when we are in San Diego. The menu has delicious seasonal options and everything is always cooked to perfection. It's where the locals go and for a good reason. Live music, good vibes and even a fun cocktail menu, it's a must when in Del Mar.

Got the margherita pizza with a side of fries, not what I expected from the pizza, I thought it would be more of a traditional pizza but it seems like they put their own twist on it. The friends where fresh and even had a garlic sauce.

Great place for dinner date. Beautiful view and restaurant. Staffs are amazing. Chef is amazing. Delicious food and relaxing environment. Will come again.

Fantastic food. Quick service on a Saturday night. Good burgers and good pizzas. Limited but good collection of beers.
