Everything was great. Homemade salsa sauces and I cleaned my plate.”which I rarely do”
Our server was the best. Attentive but not doting.
Perfect lunch.
My co-worker got the gigantic burrito…biggest I have ever seen. The picture doesn’t give you the scope of size. It was served on an oval platter! I had a taste and it was amazing too.
And the service was great. We were greeted right when we walked in. And that was just the beginning. We got chips with salsa AND queso as well.
I have just scratched the surface. Here is what I know. You go…you won’t be disappointed.
Oh, I had the best flan I ever tasted! Yes, best.
I will come back
And fried Yucca, both are a little hard to find here in the land of the chicken fried steak. When I find mofongo, I eat it!
What makes Zarate’s Latin Mexican Grill stand out is the uniqueness of having a good varied Mexican menu along with Latin American menu items. We ate here in 2016 and really enjoyed the Brazilian BBQ Chicken & Shrimp. South American food is not on every street corner in Oklahoma. Although, limited we have found several good restaurants; this is one. Anyway, it was time for a return visit and a quick run to Edmond.
They start the meal with thin crisp tortilla chips, a very good mild salsa and queso. It you like heat ask for their hotter salsa. It will go well with whatever you order and help to bring the heat level up a little. My wife had the Tamale Honduran Banana Leaf. White rice, black beans and a tamale make up this meal. There was little or no seasoning on the rice and beans and mild spices in the tamale. She really liked it. I tasted of the beef in the tamale and it did have a good flavor.
I can’t pass up the mofongo, so I went for the Mofongo with Shrimp. It is a good sized meal with a mound of mofongo, a few fried plantains, and a dozen shrimp smothered in a sauté of chopped tomato, tomato sauce and onions. It is not spicy or hot. I was a little disappointed in the mofongo. I expected the fried crushed plantains, with chicharrones (or bacon) and garlic to stand out. It had a nice crunch to it, but was lacking in flavor, I think it was just some tostones that had been mashed up into a little pile. After I dumped the remaining hot sauce all over the plate it turned out to be a pretty good meal!
It is a clean restaurant with good service, and it is above average!
