El Zarape needs a bigger location! This place is so good! Just needs more tables and seating! Try this hot spot during the week and before 5pm, this place is packed for dinner and weekends! 5 star service and food!

Food and service are great. This restaurant is consistently good! The only complaint I have is that it’s small, so there’s often a wait… but it’s worth the wait.

Worst experience ever, my wife ordered camarones a la diabla. And the shrimp were rotten, she immediately had to go to the restroom to throw up. We will definitely not be coming back, and I would encourage anyone to stay away from this place.

We have been trying to come to this place before COVID and it always had too long of a wait. Well I found out why. This place is the perfect family owned restaurant that not only delivers great service, but amazing food. We ordered the carnitas, cheese enchiladas and crunchy shredded beef tacos. All were great and the salsa was good enough we ordered some to go.
