El Zarape Authentic Mexican Cuisine is a cozy restaurant with a warm ambiance. The food is excellent, and the staff, including the owner, are very friendly and attentive. The menu offers delicious meals, and the restaurant has ample parking, though wheelchair accessibility is limited by broken sidewalks and uneven concrete. The restroom is clean but may need some maintenance. Customers appreciate the accommodating staff, especially when they request separate tables or have specific questions about the food. Many mention the tasty salsa and the unique tacos Longy style, which originated at Longy's Tacos in Lombard in the 1970s. The complementary chips are fresh, and the salsa options are flavorful, including a warmed enchilada-type salsa and a spicy cold salsa. Beverages like regular and golden margaritas are enjoyed, and the beef tacos are highly praised, with some noting the chicken is more popular. The restaurant is small, with about 16 tables, creating a very nice atmosphere. Despite some minor issues like stale tortillas or over-salted beans, many customers find the experience worth repeating. The staff's exceptional service and the great food have helped El Zarape build a loyal customer base.
