We are regulars to Zapatas. All the staff always have a smile on their face when they greet you. Our favorite in town! Service is normally very fast!

Went there for lunch today and as always food was exceptional. Doesn't look like much from the outside but inside is great. Clean and awesome food.

Food was delicious. It was a little different from our usual Mexican Restaurant. The service was ok. It could have been much better considering there were only two other tables there and one of those tables was finished eating. We had to keep asking for things....drink refills, napkins, etc.

Really good good, fast service and large portions. There is free parking and it's easy to locate. We ordered an appetizer of chicken fingers and rice for the kids and even that was yummy. Would visit again.
