Come for the Fajitas, Stay for the Vibes — El Z is a Whole Experience
El Zarape (or El Z as the cool kids call it) isn’t just dinner — it’s a vibe. From the stunning tequila bottle displays to the neon wall that tells you you’re the salsa to its taco (blushing, thank you), this place knows how to serve ambiance alongside the entrées.
We started with chips and salsa that were so good I briefly considered canceling my actual meal and just going full-basket mode. Thankfully, I didn’t — because the fajitas? Absolute showstopper. Tender, juicy, loaded with flavor and grilled veggies, and served sizzling hot like they were fresh out of a telenovela plot twist.
The portions are generous, the plating is beautiful, and the service? Warm, welcoming, and fast without feeling rushed. The menu has all the classics (enchiladas, tacos, soups, mid-day combos), plus a thoughtfully crafted margarita and cocktail list for those who like their lime with a little tequila and their tequila with a lot of flair.
Whether you’re there for date night, family lunch, or just because it’s Tuesday and you deserve joy — El Zarape delivers.

Excellent service, especially considering I was sitting at the bar and not drinking. The meal was decent but nothing special. The salsa was a standout item!

Fantastic food and cocktails. The Tamarind mezcal margarita was amazing. It perfectly complimented their Chicken Mole enchiladas wich is a MUST every time we go here. The ceviche is so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend coming here.

Definitely a gem of a food location. Great atmosphere, the outside or inside patio is great. The bar decor is inviting, the outer eatery has a great fireplace and relaxation lounge chairs. The location though, is often times difficult to find parking. Filled , small parking location, please come 15 min early to find a parking stall. From Great and friendly servers, to modern decor, great floor layout, and the star of the location would be the Food!
Down right amazing soups and the taquitos were splendid. Added, the sauce had a kick and the location pleases everyone with a low music level, allowing for easy conversations and friendly times.

El Zarape delivered a satisfying dining experience. The grilled Salmon was tender and perfectly seasoned. I got the rive replaced with grilled vegetables which were really good. The ceviche was fresh and zesty. The whole meal was worth the price. Pretty quick service and our server was great as well. Other folks on my table got tacos and enchiladas that they appreciated as well.

I miss the convenience of the old location, but this place is much bigger and pretty pleasant, especially in the area behind the bar. The only downfall of that back area is the number of large vehicles going by on the road outside. If you’re easily distracted by loud trucks, this could be problematic for you.
The food is good, but i need to stop trying the shrimp burrito, hoping it will get better. The problem is that the shrimp ate really nice, but the burrito is filled with a ton of rice. I’ve had other, better meals there, so maybe the plan should be trying other things.

Have been going to the original location for years as it was smaller and more of a family-owned style restaurant with a great atmosphere. This new location is quite larger, similar family atmosphere, but the lighting is a little bit harsh as you first walk in. The food was just as good as their original location and their service was prompt.
We’ll be keeping the new location in our Mexican rotation for dinner.

My children and I had a great experience here. We all agreed five stars. The review must open with amazing service, provided by Tristan (the guy with Star Wars tatoos).
Chips and salsa came right out. Chips were great as was the salsa. Heavy on fresh cut tomatoes, the salsa delivered great taste with a bit of spice and heat.
I asked for suggestions from the server, who provided insight on food and drinks. I went for the top shelf with the Zarape Grand Margarita and was pleased. A bit more $ but could identify flavor and pour, as where the money went.
Food came out very quickly. I had the Shrimp Enchiladas, rice and beans. With a hint of orange in the sauce, I really enjoyed them. Rice was tasty and good refried beans. Burrito Mojado (chicken), carne asada tacos, ordered across the table, all delivered and enjoyable meal.
Full bar
Good number of tables. Wasn’t busy at 1:30~ish when we went. I can see it being busy at times, given the area, and see in other reviews that impacted the experience.
Server said they were still in a soft opening. Other reviews talked about their “old full menu” and it that was stated that will return (no ETA).
I will return to eat again.
Maybe it’s pricier than another regular spot of mine, Mario’s. The food quality is higher, as is the atmosphere and service, so also being closer to me, that balances the $$$.
