" I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Zapata last week! We were seated promptly, and our server was attentive. The atmosphere felt welcoming, and I liked the Mexican decor. The food was flavorful, though the chimichangas were a bit greasy. Overall, it was a good meal, and I’d consider going back to try other menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Zapata was rather underwhelming compared to the hype. While the ambiance was lovely and staff were very welcoming, my meal was quite bland. I tried the burrito, but it was missing that authentic flavor I expected. Perhaps I came on an off-night? I won't rule out returning but am not in a rush to do so. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Zapata expecting authenticity but was a bit let down. The ambiance was nice, but the food didn’t match the reviews I’ve read. I ordered the fajitas and they were okay but not the wow factor I anticipated. Service was friendly though, and I appreciate the effort they put into the restaurant. I may try again but need a stronger portrayal of Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zapata has a great family-friendly atmosphere. My kids loved the quesadillas and the churros were a big hit! The staff were friendly and, for the most part, attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The portions were generous, which is always a plus in my book. I would recommend this place for families looking for a fun dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Zapata last weekend, and it was simply fantastic! The moment I sat down, I was served warm, crunchy chips with a spicy salsa that was so good I could have eaten it all night. I went for the ceviche, which was fresh and tangy, exactly what I needed. The main course was equally delightful, and the portion sizes were generous. It's rare to find a place that combines great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere all in one. Highly recommend! " (*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*)
