" After reading numerous positive reviews, I decided to try Zapatas last weekend, and I was not disappointed. The environment was vibrant, filled with beautiful artwork depicting Mexican culture. I ordered the seafood enchiladas, and they were some of the best I’ve ever had—rich flavors and generous portions. The only drawback was the service; it could have been faster as we waited a bit long for our drinks. Still, the food made it worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Zapatas after hearing a lot of positive feedback, and I have to say, it lived up to the hype! The salsa was so fresh that I could have eaten it by the bowlful. I ordered the pollo asado, and the seasoning was spot on—each bite reminded me of family gatherings. The only downside was that it took a while for my order to arrive, but the staff was friendly and made up for it. Definitely a place I would come back to next time I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Zapatas. While the food was good, I felt it didn’t quite measure up to Mexican food I've had in places like South Texas. The fajitas were decent, but the shrimp was overcooked, leaving a lot to be desired. The server was friendly, yet somewhat slow in attending to our table. However, the restaurant has a nice vibe and I appreciated the clean setup. I might consider coming back to try something different. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fab experience at Zapatas! Service was quick, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. My tacos al carbon were bursting with flavor and really hit the spot! The portions were generous as well. My only quibble is that it got a little noisy towards the end of our meal, but overall, I would say this is an excellent place for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Zapatas for the first time during our road trip, and I have to say it was a pleasant surprise! The chips and queso were fantastic, and the fajita platter I ordered was filled with delicious, perfectly seasoned chicken and veggies. The service was friendly, though at times a bit slow due to the crowd. Still, the experience was more than great, and I'm happy we stopped here. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zapata's has a charming, cozy feel, which I appreciated. The chips and salsa served at the beginning were delicious and a nice touch. I had the large taco salad—the portion was huge! However, the flavor wasn't as bold as I expected. Service was friendly but a bit slow; it felt like they were short-staffed. I would give them another visit but with slightly lowered expectations on the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a regular at Zapatas, and every visit has been a hit. Their carne asada is always cooked to perfection, and the portions are generous. I appreciate the friendly atmosphere that makes you feel welcome. The only downside I’ve experienced is occasional waits during busy hours, but the delicious food makes it worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant to friends looking for great Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)
