" Disappointed with my last visit after so many good experiences. The ingredients in the burrito I had tasted off, and I wasn't a fan of the flavor combination. The service was acceptable, but the food quality really wasn't up to their usual standards. I hope this was just a fluke, as I’ve enjoyed their meals before. I’ll give them one more chance before deciding for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I first tried El Zarape after hearing about it through friends, and wow, what an experience! The vibrant flavors of the food were unlike any other Mexican cuisine I've had. The tacos were to die for, with generous portions that made my mouth water. Plus, the service was prompt and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to sample more from their extensive menu. A true Denver favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" A favorite spot of mine for authentic tacos! The carne asada tacos are simply brilliant. The flavors are incredibly balanced, and it feels like indulging in home-cooked food. The atmosphere might not be fancy, but it’s cozy and inviting. I love how they treat their customers like family. It’s the kind of place you want to visit frequently! I also appreciate the reasonable prices which make it accessible for everyone. Definitely will recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited El Zarape last weekend for lunch, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The menu offered a great variety of authentic Mexican dishes, and we indulged in several items, including enchiladas and breakfast burritos. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and each dish had its own distinctive and rich flavor profile. It’s rare to find a restaurant that can balance both taste and authenticity so well. Service was pleasant and quick, which is a plus for families with kids. I recommend giving this hidden gem a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a frequent visitor of El Zarape for a couple of years now, and every experience has been fantastic. The authenticity of the dishes is undeniable. From their carnitas to the breakfast burritos, each meal feels like a highlight. Although there have been minor service issues in the past, they never overshadowed the delicious food. The atmosphere is casual, making it perfect for a quick bite or a more leisurely meal with friends. The pricing is also very reasonable, which is a big plus. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some authentic Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at El Zarape. While the tacos packed a punch with flavor, my salad felt a bit skimpy in portion compared to the price. The service was friendly, but it took longer than expected to receive our food. I understand they were busy, but it was a bit frustrating. I will probably try it again but will stick to their more popular menu items next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore the burritos here! The fresh ingredients shine, especially with the handmade tortillas. My carnitas burrito was hearty, and generously stuffed. The ambiance might lack flair, but the food makes up for it. The staff are always helpful and eager to ensure you enjoy your meal. I recommend putting this restaurant on your radar if you haven't tried it yet! " (*Curated Review*)
