    Come for the Fajitas, Stay for the Vibes — El Z is a Whole Experience El Zarape (or El Z as the cool kids call it) isn’t just dinner — it’s a vibe. From the stunning tequila bottle displays to the neon wall that tells you you’re the salsa to its taco (blushing, thank you), this place knows how to serve ambiance alongside the entrées. We started with chips and salsa that were so good I briefly considered canceling my actual meal and just going full-basket mode. Thankfully, I didn’t — because the fajitas? Absolute showstopper. Tender, juicy, loaded with flavor and grilled veggies, and served sizzling hot like they were fresh out of a telenovela plot twist. The portions are generous, the plating is beautiful, and the service? Warm, welcoming, and fast without feeling rushed. The menu has all the classics (enchiladas, tacos, soups, mid-day combos), plus a thoughtfully crafted margarita and cocktail list for those who like their lime with a little tequila and their tequila with a lot of flair. Whether you’re there for date night, family lunch, or just because it’s Tuesday and you deserve joy — El Zarape delivers.

    Definitely a gem of a food location. Great atmosphere, the outside or inside patio is great. The bar decor is inviting, the outer eatery has a great fireplace and relaxation lounge chairs. The location though, is often times difficult to find parking. Filled , small parking location, please come 15 min early to find a parking stall. From Great and friendly servers, to modern decor, great floor layout, and the star of the location would be the Food! Down right amazing soups 🍲 and the taquitos were splendid. Added, the sauce had a kick and the location pleases everyone with a low music 🎶 level, allowing for easy conversations and friendly times.

    I enjoyed chicken mole enchiladas, also the ceviche was delicious and fresh! Lots of lemon juice and such a great flavor. The service is amazing because there’s plenty of waiters and waitresses checking on you. I highly recommend El Zárape for your next awesome foodie experience 😊

    El Zarape delivered a satisfying dining experience. The grilled Salmon was tender and perfectly seasoned. I got the rive replaced with grilled vegetables which were really good. The ceviche was fresh and zesty. The whole meal was worth the price. Pretty quick service and our server was great as well. Other folks on my table got tacos and enchiladas that they appreciated as well.

    I miss the convenience of the old location, but this place is much bigger and pretty pleasant, especially in the area behind the bar. The only downfall of that back area is the number of large vehicles going by on the road outside. If you're easily distracted by loud trucks, this could be problematic for you. The food is good, but i need to stop trying the shrimp burrito, hoping it will get better. The problem is that the shrimp ate really nice, but the burrito is filled with a ton of rice. I've had other, better meals there, so maybe the plan should be trying other things.
