Food looks like slop, just terrible all around. I’d rather eat at Taco Bell
Best authentic Mexican food around.
Great cocktail!! The bartenders & servers are very friendly. Prices are reasonable too!!
Carne asada steak is seasoned and tender I'm not sure what kind of steak was in the burrito I got but it was tough it's nowhere near traditional Spanish food

El Sarape is a restaurant that has been a staple for some customers for over 20 years. While some have had exceptional experiences, enjoying food that is "to die for" and friendly staff, others have faced issues with inconsistent food quality and taste. Recent visits have shown improvements, with customers enjoying dishes like chicken mango and pescado relleno, both noted as delicious. The bar area has been updated and includes a great Cadillac margarita and Modelo. Many customers appreciate the special dinner for two offered for anniversaries, along with a variety of margaritas that are praised.
Some diners also recommend sitting at the bar to enjoy chips and salsa with a house-made margarita or Negra Modelo, and to chat with staff, which adds to the neighborhood vibe. Others mention that the atmosphere is average but clean, and the service has improved, with attentive and welcoming staff, especially on busy nights. However, a few customers note that service can sometimes be slow, with challenges like having to flag down servers or wait for water, chips, or the check. Despite this, most find parking on the street without trouble, although the plexiglass dividers from COVID regulations remain, which some find unsightly. Overall, El Sarape seems to be making strides in customer experience, though it continues to face challenges with consistency and pricing.
