" We decided to try Zapata's based on numerous recommendations, and we were not let down! The grilled chicken tacos were delicious and packed with authentic flavor. The service staff was friendly despite being busy, and my only complaint was the time it took to get our food, but once it arrived, we quickly forgot about the wait. I can’t recommend this place enough if you are in the mood for some great Mexican! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zapata's has quickly become one of my family's favorite places to eat! The freshness of their ingredients is immediately apparent in every dish served. The hibiscus margarita I had was also exceptionally refreshing. Totally worth coming back for! The atmosphere is vibrant and makes it a great spot to unwind, but the service could use some extra focus as we were forgotten for longer periods than necessary. " (*Curated Review*)

" When we tried Zapata's, my husband and I were delighted by the warm ambiance and the friendliness of the staff. The carne asada tacos are truly a highlight! However, I found my rice to be slightly overcooked, which was a bit disappointing considering how well everything else was presented. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, just a minor hiccup with the rice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zapata’s has an impressive menu with just about everything you can ask for concerning Mexican food. The ambiance really makes you feel like you’re dining somewhere special. Our food was generally good, though some items were overly salty for my taste. The portions were quite satisfactory, and I appreciate their inclusive vegetarian options as well. I’m happy to have found a place like this in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a great experience at Zapata's! The decor is so lively, making the overall dining experience fun. The food was really delicious; I loved the steak fajitas. They were sizzling when they brought them out. However, the service was a bit slower than expected, but the delicious food made up for it in the end. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Zapata's for Taco Tuesday was a real treat! The tacos are fresh and come in decent portions. I particularly enjoyed the spicy salsa and the street corn on the side. The lively atmosphere adds to the overall experience, making it a fun night out. Despite the bustling crowd, the staff was friendly and helpful, which is always appreciated! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Zapata's this past weekend. The place was buzzing with people, and the energy was great but also led to somewhat chaotic service. It took longer than expected for our food to arrive. However, I must say, the taco platter was quite delicious and colorful. The flavors were on point, but service issues might lead me to reconsider for a while. " (*Curated Review*)
