Zapata Cantina offers top-notch margaritas and street tacos, with excellent service. The menu includes Pollo Monterrey, Flautas, firecracker shrimp, and Chicharrones. Guests receive complimentary hors d’oeuvres and can enjoy a modern Mexican meal. The atmosphere is classy, with friendly staff and good food like enchiladas and white queso dip. The enchiladas are filling but may have too much sauce, and they do not come with rice or refried beans. The bartender is very knowledgeable, and the beers are good. Customers have praised the food, especially the enchiladas, margaritas, and ceviche. The staff is friendly and quick to recommend cocktails and check on tables, making guests feel welcomed. The restaurant is clean, upscale, and offers a mix-and-match taco menu with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Overall, Zapata Cantina is highly recommended, with minor room for improvement.
