El Zarape Authentic Mexican Cuisine

This has turned into our Friday night spot. Food is consistently amazing and brought out so fast. The margaritas are always delicious. No frills just really great Mexican food. We really appreciate this place!

Treated my respectful kids like turkeys. They wanted separate checks. I guess that's not a thing.

Food here is ok. The owner here is an unpleasant man to deal with. We had a slight confusion with our order. Nothing that requires the owners inability to maintain his professionalism. Our waitress this evening also echoed the same thought to us about management’s inability to maintain composure. Having the news on while we ere eating dinner makes this a not so enjoyable dinning experience. Chips and salsa were delivered to our table. We did not order them. We enjoyed and ate the chips and salsa and to our surprise we were charged for chips and salsa. Lack of transparency here. This restaurant is not operating as 1 Team.

This was my first and last visit to this restaurant. While dinning here we were hurried by the staff to pay our bill and move on. The bill was delivered to our table 5 minutes after are meals were delivered to our table. We had not even had an opportunity to order desert. On 3 separate occasions the owner and the waitress both tried to collect the payment for the bill as I was putting a fork in my mouth. We were still eating and my friend and I were still chatting. Lack of professionalism from the management this evening. The best thing an employee could have done for us this evening is to ask us, “can I get you anything else this evening?” Having the News On The TV is another unattractive characteristic of this restaurant. Politics doesn’t belong in eating. It is time to reevaluate customer service at this restaurant beginning with the owner’s lack of professionalism. Chips and salsa are expensive here while neighboring restaurants chips and salsa are free.

We stop here twice a month on average for lunch. Never crowded, The owner always comes by to greet you and chat for a moment. Good margaritas and very good food. The servers are always friendly and polite

Just happened: I had been to this restaurant once before and genuinely enjoyed the food, so I was planning to return today for Cinco de Mayo. Before going in, I decided to call and ask if they had any specials. To my shock, the person who answered the phone said, “No one has specials for Cinco de Mayo,” and when I responded with a polite “Oh, okay,” he followed up by calling me a “cheap ass” and hung up.

This level of disrespect is absolutely unacceptable. I was sitting in their parking lot, ready to dine in again, but after that phone call, I immediately left. I will never set foot in this establishment again, and I advise others to think twice about supporting a business that treats potential customers with such hostility.

The food is pretty nice. The one waitress is nice. The decorations are nice. So why the overall 2 stars? The owner. He really sours the whole operation with his attitude. We don't go there anymore because of it.

Ed is an awesome host. Fantastic Food, prompt friendly service-fresh meals.

Very authentic. Especially like The Longy pan fried tacos.

Always a pleasure to dine there.

The manager at this establishment is consistently unprofessional and confrontational when approached about order issues. His aggressive demeanor is unacceptable in a customer-facing role and reflects poorly on the business. If this is how he treats customers, it’s likely his behavior toward staff is equally problematic.

I have been coming here for years. I think the salsa is the best ever. But my last visit was *such* a disappointment. Chips and salsa were no longer complimentary, the shrimp tacos had the tiniest shrimp I've ever seen and had no flavor and worst of all, they had Fox News blaring. I'm sorry, but when I go out to eat, I don't want to have to hear Fox blaring in the background. If those are your politics, fine, but if I'm paying for your food, don't force me to listen to it. We won't be coming back.
