" Everything at Zapata's felt like a little piece of home! The spicy salsa and warm chips are perfect starters, and I highly recommend the carnitas tacos. The flavors are authentic, and you can tell they are made with love. However, during our visit, we had to wait a bit longer than expected for our main courses. Despite that, the staff's friendly approach and the restaurant's ambiance made up for it. This place is certainly a treasure for Mexican food lovers! " (*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.

" 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*)
