When the regulars are Latin America natives, you know the food is authentic. This bakery and cafe--done up in orange and canary yellow--is a staple for Oak Lawn residents looking for a break from the Starbucks routine. Diners cozy up in window booths to sip imported coffees, relish merengue cookies and read the paper. Groups sit at long tables to savor a leisurely meal of corn turnovers filled with beef and melted cheese while couples tango to Latin jazz on the hardwood floors. Most leave with churro sticks boxed to go to savor the treats at home.

Awesome Breakfast Omlette
by ecagnew
I reside in Austin Texas and was in Dallas for the National PRIMA conference. I ventured over to Zaguan and ate an omlette and had a cup of joe. I had to buy a bag of the coffee to take home it was so good. The omlette was the best I have ever had, and I told the chef that as well.
Great place..............Very Friendly.
- Pros: Best Coffee Anywhere

BAD FOOD- period
by jennyc120
I noticed that the restaurant was dirty when we walked in the door- flies hoovering over the breads and deserts...we ordered the Empanadas, which were ok but then everything else was downhill from there. The Latin Crepes are nothing like the menu picture-the chicken in them had a bad taste & it was cheese overkill. The ropa vieja-which was the worst I've ever tried-was salty, and the roll that came with it was tasteless and dry. The deserts also resembled nothing like the photos on their website- they were small, thrown-together deserts that seemed to be there for days. This place is NOT recommended! We will never go back (obviously).
- Pros: cant think of any "pros"

Best latin food, "ropa vieja" and "empanadillas" in town.
by Manati
Is a bakery, very interesting and very good breads and pastries. But is also an excellent restaurant. Empanadillas are great. The "ropa vieja" excellent. My wife tried the fish plate and was also excellent. Great coffee. Great prices.
Small location, easy to find, easy parking. Will rate as one of the top two latin restaurants in Dallas.
One of my top two restaurants in DFW. Great place to take friends for a taste of latin food. They have a menu with pictures that is very helpful for those that don't speak spanish or fail to understand what is that delicious "ropa vieja".
And at the end of your visit, you can take some breads and pastries home.
- Pros: Great food, ropa vieja, empanadillas, desserts, coffee, price, parking. All plus
- Cons: None, is a great place.
