4.5 rating Had a Carne Asada taco combo with Beans and Rice.
Tacos came on Flour tortillas NOT corn
Plenty of Carne
Rice was OK
Beans were real good made with bacon fat
Salsa was hot and tasty

Had the birria, absolutely outstanding!
Perfect heat, perfect consomme to meat ratio.
The restaurant was very clean.
Servers were nice and personable, however in the 90 minutes we were occupying the table, no one came back to check to see if we needed water refills, or how the meal was after it was placed.
(Food was on point, but I would have liked more ice water.)
Eventually a server came to take the plates away.
Prices are fair, considering the cost of meat, but a very small bowl of birria was $11.
Would I buy it again, hell yeah!
Highly recommend if you have family or guests in town.
SO GOOD!

Excellent machaca breakfast. Fast service. Clean. Not wheelchair accessible. Very small parking area. Reasonable prices. Great hrs, they open at 4 am. Highly recommend if no parking park next door or across from Denny’s.

Packed, double parked, LOL, I had to wait to have the owner of the car behind me let me out! Locals love it, that’s obvious. I got the huevos Mexicana, so so. Also got a cup of Menudo to go, that was some of the better I’ve had, I can recommend that. I think it’s worth another visit just based on the clientele. Lunch or dinner I think. Prices are reasonable.
Parking, parking is key. Also brush up on my Spanish, it’s obvious I’m mediocre at best.

I’ve eaten some bad things in my time but El Zarape in is a new low. The service? A perfect mirror of the food: slow, indifferent, and nasty. The chips are stale, the salsa tasted like a rancid watery equivalent of tomato soup. Awful smelly tap water. The huevos rancheros were an overcooked mess accompanied with ultra small portion of diced tomatoes and canned beans. The tortillas were as tough as a pair of old work boots. The star of the show was the bistek ranchero. The meat, smelled old and rancid. I dared to try and piece of meat and confirmed the foul taste that would make a hyena gag. I complained to the waitress and have to say the only spicy thing I got during the meal was her attitude. If you are in Nogales and looking for authentic Mexican food, this place will keep coming up but avoid it. I dont understand why it has more than 3 stars. There are countless other better restaurants and taquerias across the border that are that deserve your hard-earned pesos.

Enjoyed the combination plate with cheese enchilada, chicken taco, and Chile relleno which were excellent. Unfortunately the same can not be safe of the rice and beans.

Go here for the food (as it’s great) , not for the Ambiance. It’s like really eating in Mexico, probably because Mexico is about a mile away,,,, but you are in the USA, so all the authenticity but without the border crossing. Service was fast and friendly. Best of all, you get a lot of food (great food) for about $10.

Being close to Mexico, I was craving some authentic Mexican food, and this place definitely sufficed. I ordered the chicken gorditas, which came with a lot of pleasant surprises. For one, I was given a potato and cheese soup before my meal came out, which was very delicious and hearty. My food came out very quickly, before I was even able to finish the soup! My meal was well portioned with beans rice, as well as lettuce and other goodies with the gorditas. Overall, it was a very good, authentic meal at a reasonable price (including tip, I barely spent $10)
I went again, this time getting a bean burrito with rice. Again, I encountered good service and got a very satisfying meal for a very good price. The beans were a bit mushy, but other than that, everything was very good with the salsa and burrito being better than most
