" You can't go wrong with Zapata! Each visit is better than the last. I love the atmosphere, filled with colorful decorations and vibrant energy. My favorite dish is the chicken fajitas; they come sizzling to the table and are loaded with fresh veggies! The complimentary queso is a nice touch too. Unfortunately, it does get a bit crowded, which can affect the noise level. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations arriving at Zapata but left feeling somewhat disappointed. While the chips and salsa were enjoyable, my main dish lacked the flair I anticipated. The chicken was overcooked, making it dry and unappealing. Service was decent, but I expected more from a restaurant lauded for its authenticity. I might give it another shot, but this experience was lackluster. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Zapata! The ambiance was colorful and vibrant, making it such a nice place to dine. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the service excellent. I particularly enjoyed the chimichangas—they were crispy and packed with flavor. This restaurant has found a loyal customer in me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes when I went to Zapata based on a friend's recommendation. The chips and salsa were fantastic, but the rest of the meal fell short of expectations. The enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste, and I expected a stronger seasoning based on the reviews I read. Service was top-notch though, and I appreciated the friendly demeanor of the staff. I might consider giving it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience at Zapata! The complimentary cheese quesadillas were a delightful surprise while we waited for our main dishes. The tacos were flavorful but could use a bit more salsa or toppings to enhance the experience. The service was quick and friendly, which made it a nice visit overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Zapata for dinner last night and came away impressed! The environment has this lovely family-run feel to it. We were greeted by one of the owners, who made us feel welcome. The food, especially the carne asada, had that classic flavor that reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking. The only downside was the noise level; it was a bit loud, but the delicious food made it all worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zapata is a restaurant that truly stands out! The lively atmosphere and colorful decor immediately set a festive tone. Upon entering, I was greeted graciously by the staff, which only added to the experience. I ordered the shrimp burrito and was blown away by the flavors—the shrimp were fresh, and the spices were balanced well. Great dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)
