" I generally enjoyed my time at Zapopan, particularly the array of options on the menu. However, I feel like some of the dishes missed the mark in terms of authenticity. For example, the enchiladas tasted somewhat different from what I expected. The service was decent, though, and it was a lively place. I’ll probably give it another try to see if they can improve those rustic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to visit Zapopan based on recommendations, and it did not disappoint! The guacamole was one of the best I've had, fresh and flavorful. The environment was lively and enjoyable. Unlike some reviews, our service was quick and attentive. I ordered the steak fajitas, which were cooked perfectly. Looking forward to coming back!. " (*Curated Review*)

" I regularly visit Zapopan for a quick meal, and it's always a good experience. The staff knows me now, and they’re generally quick and courteous. The food is not overly adventurous, but it's consistently good! I particularly enjoy their nachos with cheese dipped in guacamole. It’s a fun quick stop for some comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I can say the food was pretty average. The tacos I ordered had almost no flavor, and I left disappointed. The service was alright, but I expected better for all the rave reviews I heard. The place does have a welcoming decor, so at least there's that. I'm unsure if I will give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Did a takeout order from Zapopan last week and I was pleasantly surprised. I got the chicken tamales, which were quite comforting and flavorful. The only downside was that my rice had cooled down a bit by the time I got home. Still, it was one of the better takeouts I've had in recent times. The staff was friendly during pickup as well. Definitely recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very enjoyable dining experience at Zapopan! I loved their chicken enchiladas, which while not the most authentic, were still quite tasty. The margaritas were effective too! We had a fantastic server who took care of us throughout the night. The atmosphere was lively, which suited our festive party. I can see why this place is a staple in the community, and I will definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Zapopan was quite enjoyable! The decor really sets the mood for a festive meal, making you feel as if you've transported to a quaint Mexican eatery. However, the food was hit or miss; some dishes tasted fantastic while others felt lackluster. The server was attentive most of the time but did disappear for a while during the busier moments. I'd recommend this place for those craving a casual night out with friends and good margaritas! " (*Curated Review*)
