The food made us all sick! The food is bland and beyond basic. Very limited menu as well.

Absolutely love this place. I live in Bandera County and when I want awesome Mexican food this is where I want to eat. I know it is 4 hours away but it is definitely worth the drive. Friendly staff. Great food. What else can you ask for

Me and my wife enjoyed the food we had for take out the first time, and dine in the second time. Both where good, but I think the take out was better. I think because the dine in food was a little cold but still good. A crowd came in and the wait staff was making drinks and taking order and I think just forgot about the food. I like my food hot. Nevertheless this place is still a good place to eat at. We will be back for sure. Gonna make it a regular.

My family has gone to ElZarape since the early 70s. Every chance I get to go to Bay City, ElZarape is a must. Every other Mexican food restaurant is compared to ElZarape. For me it's the gold standard. Now if they only had that pecan pie Daddy used to tease them about at the old location lol
