Waiter served food, never came back till I was down to rice and beans. Had to ask for a refill on water too. Said he was busy and trying to help others. Guess I don't count.

Incredible service!! The waiter must've overheard that I was craving queso, so they suggested it right away. (Delicious!) I started mildly choking on some food/coughing, the waiter noticed immediately and brought me some extra napkins. They heard that I was paying for the meal as an early birthday present, they brought my friend great dessert and sang. Thank you for the great meal!

Generous portions. Great flavors. Fantastic service. Always enjoy the atmosphere. This is my go to for Mexican food

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and awesome food. Always love the pollo zarapes (and sometimes other things- haha!)

Mediocre service, mediocre food. Not my first choice for Mexican food. I'll go to El Toro (on Springfield or at the fields) over going here.

Seating was quick. About half of all seating is a booth. Decorations were above average. Noise level was moderate, so okay for conversation. Service was very good. Coke soda for those who care about those things. Prices are Several chip comments on other reviews, so will say chips were warm, thin, tasty. Salsa was average. Thin chips leads to more small pieces at the bottom of the basket! Food was okay. Low end burrito enchilada chalupa combo was okay. Mid-level pollo zerape had a good amount of chicken. We did not try the $16-19 entrees but suspect they are good. This is a solid restaurant - it's a 3+ star rating - I couldn't find anything to raise it to a 4-star rating.

It's a pretty nice restaurant. Great for meeting with people. Service is consistently efficient. Staff is nice and friendly.Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian section on their menu, and they do not use lard in their beans.
My order came with beans. I was able to have rice in its place. We had 14 people and tip was added to each individual bill. Waiter was real good. Did not get anything mixed up. Was right on top of everything. Didn't even have to ask for anything. He knew what we wanted with out us telling him. Is pretty expensive.

I love this place. Staff is amazing, food is excellent and their blue raspberry frozen margaritas are absolutely delicious. My family has been going here for years and we’ve never had a bad experience.
The service is outstanding. I ordered the Acapulco Special. All I can say is amazing Great flavor. Hot.

Just because this place is super busy doesn't mean it's good. They don't offer mezcal and have a poor variety of adult beverages. Chips did not taste homemade. Chicken was very dry. More Tex mex than anything else. Travel to Champaign for better quality and variety.

Incredible food, service, and atmosphere. The chilaquiles and fajitas Hawaiian are both highly recommended, but it feels like you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Service is always great. All the workers are very kind. Food is always top notch and usually comes out very quickly. They have the best salsa and queso I've ever had. And their fried ice cream is amazing!!!

Los Zarapes is consistently delicious with fast and friendly service. El Toro Bravo that I'd frequented in the past has seemed to gone a little down hill in both of those areas, and this was another convenient place with traditional Mexican food that my husband I decided to give a try. They seem to be well staffed and everyone has been friendly, huge menu selection, very quick service each time we've dined in, and the food has been great with both dine in and take out. Definitely would recommend!
