I’ve read some disparaging reviews here about El Sarape. I’ve been coming for about 10 years and all I can say is: Sit at the bar, enjoy some chips and salsa with a house-made margarita, then switch maybe to Negra Modelo and order a (fairly priced!) enchilada combinación splitting between verde and mole. (I get refried-only for the side😋) Chat with beautiful Maya and enjoy the neighborhood vibe with the gathering locals. Disfrute de su comida!
It bums me out to say this! I’ve been going to El Sarape for quite a while (I grew up in the area and the nostalgia is real!). I still love the food (except the guacamole… that had ZERO flavor and no tomato’s jalapeños nada), but the service seems to be slipping.
The last few times I’ve gonr, it’s been very slow (usually off hours). That being said, getting our server’s attention is always a task. Sitting without water, having to flag someone down for chips...
My daughters and I walked in later on a Saturday night and they couldn’t have been more welcoming towards us if they tried… and it was such a lovely atmosphere, everyone there was in smiles it seemed. The food was as magnificent as I remember it being, maybe even better. All around, this is easily one of my and my family’s favorite places to be and by far the best Mexican restaurants this side of the Rio Grande ;D
