" Amazing! We had a large family meal and everything was fantastic. The staff was attentive, and we didn’t wait long for our food. I highly recommend the borracho beans and homemade tortillas! The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it ideal for family gatherings. We’ll definitely make this our regular spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Zarape is a delightful gem in Fort Smith! I visited last week and was impressed by the vibrant colors and welcoming staff. The carne asada was cooked to perfection, and the guacamole was incredibly fresh. I couldn't resist trying their margaritas – definitely worth it! I'll be back soon, especially for Taco Tuesday! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to El Zarape a few times now, and while the food is generally good, my last visit was a bit mixed. The enchiladas were tasty, but they lacked the sauce I was hoping for. Service was good, but it was a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, it's a decent place for a casual meal, just manage your expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience at El Zarape. The food was delicately seasoned, and I loved the fresh salsa served with the chips. However, my server seemed overwhelmed and forgot parts of our order, which impacted the overall experience. Still, the flavors in the dishes were commendable and worth another visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with this visit. The tacos I ordered were bland, and despite the cheerful ambiance, the service was lacking. I had to flag down staff multiple times. Hopefully, it was just an off day for them, but I doubt I’ll return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best dining experience here! The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied. I highly recommend the tacos al pastor and their homemade salsa; it’s the best in town! Overall, a fantastic place to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Zarape is a must-visit if you're in Fort Smith! The décor is beautiful, and the margaritas are just delicious. I especially loved the chicken fajitas—they were flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. The only downside was the wait for our food, but it was worth it. I’ll be back!
