What I tried:
Beef Taco (seasoned ground beef topped with melted cheese and lettuce in a soft corn tortilla)
Birria Taco (seasoned, juicy birria beef topped with chopped onions and cilantro in a soft corn tortilla)
Queso Taco (melted cheese in a soft corn tortilla topped with your choice of meet - I tried it with carne asada (steak))

Recently, and unexpectedly, I have had these cravings for tacos (and tamales - which is going to be my next food search). So, true to nature, I researched several places, read reviews, and settled on Zapata - which luckily was listed on GH.

My first order from this taco shop consisted of two beef tacos and one birria taco, because I had no idea what to expect, but wanted the opportunity to sample a variety. Both tacos were great with the juiciness of the birria taco becoming an instant favorite.

Three weeks later, this has now become my favorite weekend splurge. This weekend, I ordered beef, birria, and queso w/ carne asada (because I didn't want beans, which usually comes with the carne asada taco). They were all delicious. Unfortunately, I still got beans with the queso taco with carne asade but, fortunately, it was still delicious (!) so it didn't matter!

I'm happy I've found this taco spot and look forward to being a returning customer to this place.

Great lunch place. Glad I came here.

Friendly service from the handful of times we've been in, however the food has always been bland, dry or burnt. Not an authentic Mexican food experience. They really need to find some new cooks.

Super friendly staff love the smokiness of the asada on my tacos. The chiles rellenos was fire, also love the salsa bar. Excellent selection. I would pass on the tortillas they’re a bit mid, however, the atmosphere and the staff would have me coming back.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a chill vibe. Everybody’s there to eat and have a good time.

Wonderful veggie burritos.

This restaurant asks for your tip before you are even provided any service.

First time at this place and also first time at a restaurant with this type of set up. Before you are seated you order your food at the register. You are given cups to get your own drink. Then you pay for your order right there. This includes the standard line for tip. Why I ask you do i have to tip if there are no waitstaff to take my order, bring my drink or even utensils to my table? I had to do all that on my own. At best there is a busser person to bring the food to the table.

They are also very quick to want to turn the table. I was asked almost immediately upon finishing my meal if I was done so they could clear the table. I was actually not done as my daughter wanted one more taco which I had to get up to the counter and order on my own.

I hope the staff is not dependent on tips because this is not a full service restaurant Where waitstaff actually work to deserve their tips.

My tacos de lengua were ok. But the birria tacos left a lot to be desired. Each taco was about $4.5 each with no sides included.
