This was my first time trying this spot. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't expecting much as I have…read morenever seen the parking lot overflowing with cars. So my expectations were low. However, my granddaughter chose this place for her birthday dinner with family. The interior does not have the same authentic Mexican feel to it as other local Mexican restaurants do, but it is spacious and open, which I appreciated. Our server was Jesse. She was wonderful! We weren't a huge party but definitely had some needs and she was on top of it all. She made sure our drinks never got empty, checked in on us without intruding on our festivities, and even found a lighter for us to use to light the birthday candles. The food was delicious! I tried their quesabirria's and it was PERFECTO!!! My daughter tried something out of the ordinary and loved it! (CAMARONES PARAISO) Infaft, everybody loved their food! As with most Mexican restaurants, they did bring the sombrero and maracas, along with a dessert, for the birthday girl. Very happy with this experience. I plan to come back and get more queso birria!

My wife loved the drinks and we both enjoyed the food. The service was good and the server even brought me some extra hot homemade sauce for my fajitas. I think he was the manager but he was very friendly and checked in a few times. I know there were a few poor reviews for service on here but I would highly recommend you trying this place for yourself. Whatever issues they may have had seem to have been corrected. Very nice people and good food and drinks! We will be back.

First time in and place is nice had a good vibe. Started at the bar with a very helpful girl…read more Waited for the group of girls to get there and when we sat down at the table. We were greeted and ordered a pitcher of margaritas. She brought the margaritas and we didn't see her again. I had to wave someone down to come take our order. It was well over a good 20 to 25 mins we were waiting. We all ordered, get our food and again the waitress never came back to the table to check on us. This time I went to the hostess stand to ask them for our check. They were good, split the check 4 ways. I paid by credit card and left cash for a tip. Checked my account and they added another 5.00 tip onto the check. Not cool. We arrived at 6:30 and didn't leave until 8. Food was great, service just needs to step up a bit and don't add extra to the tab when it clearly states cash for tip.

Lots of color inside. I like places like this! I came in with a friend and ordered fish tacos. It came with rice and beans. All of the food was good, including the table chips, which were better than I had expected. Good salsa, and the picante sauce was quite good and not too hot. The fish on the tacos was sliced up and cooked perfectly. Some of the best I've had recently. My friend had tacos al pastor, and he said they were tasty. Add to that, the service. They were always there and constantly popping by to see if we needed anything. Super friendly too. I would come back for sure.

We tried the grilled chicken tacos alambre, quesabirria tacos, peach margarita, passion fruit…read moremargarita, strawberry margarita, and berry sangria. The chicken tacos were cooked well, but the cheese kept coagulating in the roof of my mouth. Wished it was smoother. The margaritas are ranked as follows: peach, strawberry, and passion fruit. For 12 oz, they are $7.50, which is great! The peach was fruity and tasty. Strawberry could get sickly very fast but still better than the passion fruit. The passion fruit was a thicker consistency of syrup, which threw it off a bit, and the flavor wasn't quite right. The berry sangria was missing something. It wasn't quite wine, not quite a fruit juice, and the fruit was all at the bottom, making it hard to drink. Not what we expected with the flavor profile. The quesabirria was flavorful with the beef and very tender. They definitely stuffed a lot of meat in the tacos, which will fill you up. Didn't like the cheese. It didn't pair well with the beef, and it was not enough in comparison. Overall, good tacos and would order again though. The service was fine. She was around enough for us to order more drinks and offered me a box at an appropriate time. The music wasn't too loud, barely heard over the crowd that started forming as we sat. Will try them again because the price is right.

I recently visited another Mexican restaurant in the area, after which I was critical about aspects…read moreof the visit including the diminutive amount of salsa verde on a dish where the sauce was a key element. Well, guess who makes sure there's plenty of salsa verde on your plate? Good ol' Pancho Villa, that's who. I have a certain fondness for Pancho's Green Burrito, and when I ordered that dish for lunch today there was a pool of delicious green liquid literally spilling from both sides of my plate! A bit messy for the table, yes, but far better than the scant offerings of their competitor. Pancho has long been one of my most consistent dining experiences in this city, which is why it's often the target of my attention for lunch. They get patrons seated quickly and orders filled quickly. The food is always good and there's plenty of it to enjoy. The service staff does a great job of attending to the wants and needs of their diners. It's easy to see why the place is popular -- and thus why a parking spot can be tough to find around lunch time.

We've been to Don Zapata's a couple of times but I just realized I never left a review…read more Our original dinner plan didn't work out so we stopped by since it was nearby. I wasn't very hungry so I wanted something that wasn't a huge portion. I figured a shrimp dish would be a lighter option so I ordered the Camarones Coco. Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to what came with it. I was there for the shrimp! It came with a chipotle pineapple sauce that was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the coconut shrimp. My husband ordered the East Coast Burrito, and it was huge! It was packed with steak and came with a large side salad. He could only finish about half of the burrito. He enjoyed it though. I also ordered a Piña Colada. I don't often see restaurants that serve them so I had to try one. I could've done without the whipped cream but the drink itself was really good. I honestly couldn't taste the alcohol... but it definitely caught up with me. LOL The only downside for me is the size of the Tamarindo Agua Fresca. I wish they served it in a large cup like Los Juanes does. Overall, I think the food here is really good and I'm honestly surprised I don't hear more people talking about this place.

Everything came out quickly, and though it was not noted, my order came with (3) soft flour tortillas. Food was very tasty, and I actually had enough remaining for a lunch the next day. Pricing felt a little on the high side for a Mexican restaurant, but that just seems to be the case across the board. I'd definitely go back again, and would recommend to others. We enjoyed the food, the service, and atmosphere.

Four tacos total, two each Carnitas and Al Pastor. Both style true to type and very good with diced onions and cilantro with a wedge of lime. Good flavor and textures. A decent meal.
