Viva Zapata Restaurant & Cafe

Amazing food, very friendly and helpful staff ♡

I dug this genuine tiny little spot in El Monte. The hospitality was all love. The place is soooooo small you have to share a tsbel with strangers which makes for new conversations & dialect. The 3 women that were there doing everything communicated with each other like my Tia's & cousins did back in the day. They made the most of everything they did with love & happiness. Is it the best, by far but is sure did make my heart warm my soul happy and my stomach full. I had the flautas con Pappas( flour tortillas deep fried with mashed potatos🥔), fully dressed. Everyone else there had steak picado which made me want to go back and see why, and I definitely will.

Viva Zapata makes some delicious homemade [VEGAN] gorditas as well as some delicious home made natural drinks. Good customer service and great prices. How about the name of the restaurant? Viva Zapata!! Love it!!

Horrible Party catering. Not equipped for parties. They have a tiny grill and they don’t make real quesadillas it’s fried hard cheese tacos. Not for kids parties. And they say flautas. They are taquitos.

Natural Mexican restaurant is small place, so menu not enough. Regular prices on lunch & Dinner. Good homemade Soups, Menudo Soups on weekends. Ok 👍 ok
