Los Zapatas Mexican Restaurants

The restaurant had only about 4-5 tables to serve (plus a few to-go orders) and appeared to be properly staffed. However, our waitress with the missing eyebrows seemed to be ignoring us and overwhelmed "because it's so busy." It took like 20+ minutes for us to even get our drinks, then more time to order our food, and more time to get a lukewarm queso fundido. I asked for more salsa while we continued to wait and it never came. About 15-20 mins after last requesting the salsa, i finally approached her to remind her of the salsa and ask for an update on my food. She became highly offended that I interrupted her while she was cackling with another waitress that she said "if you can't wait then you can leave. You don't have to pay for anything. It's on the house." I offered to pay for what was already on my table (drinks, margaritas, appetizer) but she declined to take my money, therefore earning the 2 stars I'm rating them. It may not be the restaurant, but maybe just a problem with this waitress. Salsa is great!

I have tried many items on the menu. Today I tried the Menudo. The Menudo has changed a few times over the years. This recipe is a nice dish. However, a bit salty for my taste and the tripe would be a bit more appealing if the cuts were smaller. I will mention my overall favorite is the Chili Relleno Zapata Lunch Special. This restaurant has history, it is clean throughout. The waitresses are pleasant as well. Overall, many appealing items on the menu and the portions exceed one’s appetite.

This soup right here - Tortilla Soup! It was so good, and just as good or better when it cooled off! So flavorful (you know food is good when is STILL good when it's room temp!) The salsa was good too, as well as the taco and beans. I was told I need to try the breakfast next time, so that's on my list too.

My family members always go here, so I was excited to try it. I am glad we did. You are given a basket of chips and salsa when you first sit. We ordered the two taco lunch (carne asada, chicken), taco salad (carnitas), chili relleno lunch, and carnitas wet burrito lunch. The lunches come with beans, rice and tortilla soup. Everything was delicious. The soup has a good kick to it, but it is literally broth, tortillas strips and cheese. I drank the broth but left the tortilla strips and cheese in bowl, weird texture for me personally. The workers were wearing masks.
