Fast & professional service; gluten free chips for chips & queso blanco (or nacho cheese)! Menu is what I would expect for a Mexican restaurant. The fiesta corn was over cooked but maybe that’s just personal preference. Chicken burrito was great along with the kids French fries.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Josh Clark · Jul 2025

Very very hot in there! We are all skinny and were all sweating. They delivered our food after 40 minutes of waiting, and the guy didn't even stop by once to fill our waters. Very poor customer service, but the flavor was great on the chicken chimichanga. The portion sizes are small though!! Wouldn't recommend splitting.

I don't know what is going on with the food here but the last three times I have been here the food has only gotten worse and worse. It use to be much better. Service is good but the food quality is definitely lacking. The meat has no flavor and os often over cooked.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kevin Blackmore · Sep 2024

We were seated immediately. The server was pleasant and asked questions. This establishment has plenty of seating, including a large patio area. We ordered a fajita salad with chicken and fajitas with beef and beans. Chips and salsa are provided. Salsa seemed bland to one of us while the other said, "There is a kick." I've only known fajitas to come out on sizzling cast iron skillet. There was no sizzle because they were served on a regular plate. The food was hot, but the plate was warm. The refried beans were more whole beans, not what we're used to. I did not use any salt, but beans were salty. There is plenty of parking on the patio side.

★★★★★ 5.0 Joann Creekmore · Aug 2025

I'm not familiar with New Mexico style but this was fantastic. I got the cheese enchiladas with roja and verde sauces. Also a beef tamale 'Christmas style'. Red, green & white sauces. Full of deep flavors. The homemade beans and rice delicious too. I could actually taste the tequila in my top shelf margarita. Not full of sour mix like most. Flavorful salsa for the chips. Nice heat without being too mild or spicy. Service was friendly and fast. I wish I could spell her name. Starts with an R. Great experience at Zapata in Cody and would highly recommend!
