More Mexican options in Orlando area: Zona Fresca opening soon in Winter Park

Zona Fresca, South Florida’s top fast-casual Mexican restaurant, will open its first of five Central Florida location in Winter Park during the second week of September. Located at 1035 N. Orlando Ave., Zona Fresca will serve fresh, healthy Baja-style Mexican food and offer customers the opportunity to personalize every dish with an abundance of choices.

The 3,100-square-foot Winter Park Zona Fresca restaurant in the Ravaudage mixed-use center has indoor seating for 100 guests, as well as a covered outdoor patio that seats 28. Conveniently located at the corner of Lee Road and Orlando Avenue (U.S. Highway 17-92) and just minutes from Interstate 4, Zona Fresca joins the resurgence in development along the 17-92 corridor.

“We are excited to open the Winter Park Zona Fresca and welcome the community in to experience delicious Mexican food that is fresh, light and made daily with natural ingredients,” said Nigel Bogaert, Zona Fresca franchisee. “And all of our menu items can be customized according to customer preference, allowing for hundreds of options.”

From the fan-favorite Baja fish taco to traditional chicken or steak burrito, and quesadillas,

charbroiled chili rellenos, steak tostada salad and chopped nopales (prickly pear cactus) salad, the new Winter Park restaurant will serve the same signature menu items as the other Zona Fresca locations, including a kid’s menu and an assortment of Mexican-brewed and domestic beers.

As always, salsas are made fresh every day from only top quality produce, guacamole is made from scratch daily with only the ripest avocados, and chips are made in 100 percent cholesterol-free canola oil, making any Zona Fresca location the perfect choice for fresh, flavorful, and healthy food.

The Winter Park Zona Fresca will offer customers the opportunity to dine in or pick up their orders, as well as an extensive catering menu for groups of 15 to 500. From an intimate gathering of several people to a fiesta for hundreds, Zona Fresca can provide everything for any party’s needs. Zona Fresca’s catering menu and party platters feature taquitos, quesadillas, burritos and tacos and much more.

The Winter Park restaurant will be the 11th Zona Fresca location.
