Attentive service with delicious food! Seasoned meats, delicious sauces, El Zapata is the place to get your Mexican cuisine fix. Ask about the El Gobernador Taco (the governor) Thank you to the waitstaff for being so hospitable!

I really like the vegetarian chimichangas. Actually, they were one of the best vegetarian dishes I've had at a Mexican restaurant. I am excited to go back and try one of their crazy cocktails.

Found this gem by typing in “best Mexican food near me.” Honestly, Google did not lie. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by both Andrea and Mary. I was torn between who I should talk to. The food was amazing! Literally amazing and reasonably priced. Don’t get me started on the margaritas. I had a frozen passion fruit margarita, and I’m not typically a drinker, but today was that day. I loved it. I happy danced the entire time I ate. Andrea was our server. She is really attentive and sweet. I didn’t even know who made our drinks until Mary walked up to us and asked us personally how the drinks were. I felt so catered to. You can feel the love there, so much culture, and authenticity. I only know their names because I asked and could not leave without wanting to put a good word

The place looks beautiful inside but I wish the food could be as nice. The food was good but not 5 star worthy. It was a bit underseasoned and felt just overcooked and soft ... if you're craving mexican its still a good place to visit but having eaten at many restaurants of this kind for me its just missed the mark. I've seen that they do have amazing drinks and heard people talking about them with excitement but unfortunately we have not had any as we were traveling back home quite far.

Zapata 3 is amazing! Food, drinks, service, atmosphere are the best! Mari and Aurora are the best! We got to see the most amazing drinks made. Michi shot, La Chorola feliz are really amazing drinks! Seafood with beer! Nothing better! Their margaritas are off the charts superb! They have margarita flights! 😳Awesome! You will not be disappointed visiting El Zapata 3restaurant. Enjoy 😉
