Update: I’ve been back and the food was better! Street steak tacos and wings were great
My aunt and I decided to try this restaurant for dinner. The atmosphere was nice and spacious with traditional Mexican colors. The waitress was pleasant and attentive with service being provided in a timely manner. Great job with that! We started off with a margarita: Blackberry, Passion Fruit, Dragonfruit, and Mango. They all were pretty good. The chips and salsa were just ok. My aunt ordered the steak chimichanga that came with street corn. She said the corn had too much mayo on top but the chimi was good. I ordered the Nacho Supreme without refried beans. Due to the water off the chicken, it made my tortillas soggy and the cheese watery and tasteless. The waitress was understanding and replaced them but I had the same issue. I really tried to like them but they just were bland and the lettuce was wilted along with the cilantro. I paid for a meal I didn’t eat and left hungry. I think I may give this establishment another try with a different dish. I’ll definitely try the drinks again.

I did not like my drink. It was made incorrectly I wanted a frozen drink and was given a drink with ice. I let the waiter know and instead of giving me a new glass he gave me the same one with the same drink, just frozen. The drink was bland and not made with the ingredients listed on the menu.
Then we watched the Manager engage with every customer but us. The atmosphere was dead and dry. Coming from out of town, this visit was not worth our time or money spent.

Zapata’s food is among the best quality Mexican eateries around. Their waiters and waitresses are prompt, polite and pay extra attention to detail which earned an easy 20% tip without a second thought! We highly recommend eating here if you’ve never been!

Update: Service was not the best recently with our waitress being nowhere to be found most of the time. Fajitas were still good though.
The fajitas had a great flavor and made fantastic leftovers. They have plenty of seating so I don’t think you would ever have to wait for a table. My friend said the queso is great, so try that if you like that sort of thing! Their chips and salsa were great too.

I am very disappointed with the service I received during my visit today. Despite there being no more than six customers in the entire building, the staff seemed completely indifferent to my presence.
Lack of Greeting: I walked in and wasn’t greeted or acknowledged for several minutes.
Poor Priority: A customer who arrived after me had their order taken before I was even spoken to.
The Wait: After finally being seated, I waited 10 minutes just to get salsa to the table.
In an empty restaurant, there is no reason for service to be this slow or disorganized. I felt like an inconvenience rather than a guest. I hope management takes the time to train the staff on basic hospitality and attentiveness.
A customer should never feel as though their business is not wanted or welcomed into an establishment. I felt like an inconvenience rather than a guest, and I won’t be rushing back.
December 22nd: Replying to your response. You must have me confused with another dissatisfied customer. I didn’t order a Cadillac margarita ( I don’t drink alcohol ). I ordered nachos and Lemonade. Due to the horrible customer service (2nd time) I politely exited your establishment, never taking a bite of the food or a sip of the Lemonade. Treat ALL people the same, regardless.

Place was packed on a Friday night. But how attentive our server was and how quickly our food came out you couldn’t tell. The Strawberry Mango Margarita was absolutely DELICIOUS!! I ordered a Burrito not realizing it came with tomatoes. Was my error so wasn’t going to say anything about. However our Waitress asked what was wrong, and made it right. Made a Burrito to go. To me that was above and beyond to make it right. I dropped the ball by not getting her name. Friday 1/28 working after 730pm. Would highly recommend this place and come back again.

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times before, and found myself satisfied every single time. The food is amazing, service was quick and the staff were always so polite and friendly! This restaurant will always be a favorite for my family.

Buffet was cold and still had to pay full price. Margaritas was not good, my fiancée said they weren’t good.

We’ve been to Zapata’s 3-4 times and have always felt very satisfied with the food, service, prices, and atmosphere. Unusual for us as we’re picky about restaurants. Zapata’s is always a welcome break.
Additionally, right now in mid-December, they have gone all-out on Christmas decorations. Very extensive and very beautifully done. Almost worth a visit there just to see them.

First time here, ordered the shrimp cocktail and enchiladas especiale. Chips and salsa were on point! The Shrimp cocktail was huge! And tasted amazing!! The enchiladas were SO GOOD! The only thing that could be improved upon , the waiter could have come around more often and come back sooner after giving me my check. Overall food is very authentic, flavorful and plenty on the plate! 4.5 outta 5
I’ll be back for more!
