First time here. This restaurant’s parking is weirdly located. There is no entrance to the restaurant near the parking. If you don’t know the restaurant is on that corner you could easily miss it.
The service here was outstanding
The servers were on their toes and very friendly. I think if you order shrimp here on anything you can’t go wrong. They were plum and cooked to perfection.
The crunchy taco surprised me it had beans in it. I think they should leave that out for it made the taco a bit mushy.
Other than that everything else was tasty.

We saw the stars and thought we should try this place. The ambiance is welcoming. The service was courteous. The noise was average and allowed for conversation. The food was not authentic Mexican food at all. The chile relleno was descent, but the rest of the food was not good. First of all, the way food is served, in my opinion, is disgusting! BUT we were there, and we were hungry and willing to try new places and believe it or not we kept an open mind. But no, one must really not know about Mexican food to like this place. I tried everything, but the more I looked at the plates the more disgusted I was. The prices are high too. We will not be back.

I am so glad that the original El Zarape is open again. I absolutely love this location.
#1 It’s close to my house. I love the coziness of it and the staff is wonderful. Always has been; food is always wonderful.
The only thing that they lose a star is the noise level. They have the music so loud it is very difficult to talk and if they’re doing it to move you in and out, it makes me sad because there’s nothing better than having an enjoyable dinner and a drink (if you drink) and being able to visit with family and friends.
We’re still in and out at the same time. We’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes maybe 15 but I’m gonna tell you it’s worth even a 20 minute wait to have a dinner there I’d wait 30 minutes or arrange to come at an off time in order to eat at this restaurant. the food is that good. So please lower the volume on the music to hit that Grand Slam.

Went there to eat and was pretty good, I’m from out of town and California prices are pretty steep but the prices here weren’t that bad honestly.
The food was pretty good and while I am not the biggest fan of chunky salsa theirs was very fresh and spicy which I do like so I give it 5 stars as well.

Nice restaurant, good food. Fresh Mexican food which I think it is lacking a real Mexi flavor. Very clean and well decorated. Staff are gentle and polite. A good neigborhood restaurant which seem like most customer are very local who live near by. I am the only one that passing by, I felt so!

We have been trying to come to this place before COVID and it always had too long of a wait. Well I found out why. This place is the perfect family owned restaurant that not only delivers great service, but amazing food. We ordered the carnitas, cheese enchiladas and crunchy shredded beef tacos. All were great and the salsa was good enough we ordered some to go.

Very good service and great food. Their skillet breakfasts are super good. The Chorizo Scramble mess is my favorite, a lot to eat, but with willpower, it can be done .
They have lots of good margaritas , Bloody Marys, and Mimosa’s to wash it down. If you need some burritos for your parties a
3 foot or 6 foot burrito, this is the place to go. Also, a good variety of other party size portions off their regular menu items as well. Can’t forget their delish menudo. Enjoy.
It’s 10/18/2024. Why no news whether or not the restaurant will reopen. Yes we are or no we’re not. Would be nice. I miss my Chorizo skillet!!

Food was delicious. I got a crispy carnitas taco and beans and rice and my boyfriend got the grilled shrimp tacos plate. Both were excellent! Atmosphere was awesome and festive. Service was amazing as well. We got our food extremely quickly and the staff was very attentive! New favorite place!

Very friendly and kind Staff.
We are not familiar with Mexican Food. So I asked a waiter which dish he recommended.
Both of dishes are very good, however portion was sooo Big. This is the reason we tried one dish just as tasting then we brought it home. So I recommend when you order more than two dishes, it is very important that you had better order one dish is suitable for bringing your home because of its portion. 😀
I don’t know Spanish Language so I can not tell the plate name but I recommend a plate that grilled meat on the Spanish Rice. It is sooo tasty then I tried frying rice for reheating before our eating. Our son liked it very much so he ate all.
Anyway, this restaurant is sooo popular so around 18:30 many people wait outside even weekday. Wow ! ! *0*
