Mexican music on the PA is always a good sign. I got chips and salsa to start. I ordered menudo and cafe olla. The menudo came with fresh chopped onions and cilantro. There was oregano and chili powder for extra spice. The menudo was delicious and served hot. It was a Sunday morning at 1030 am and not too many customers. But a very attentive staff and a pleasant experience. The restaurant was very well decorated. read more

After seeing so much marketing for this place on social media, I was excited to finally give it a try. Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing. The girl working Saturday morning/early afternoon was extremely rude and made us feel unwelcome from the start. We placed a large to go order with items like pancakes and birria, yet no syrup or salsa was included. Normally I'd assume it was just an honest mistake, but combined with the employee's attitude and lack of customer service, it honestly felt careless. Spending nearly $100 on subpar food that couldn't even fully be enjoyed because basic condiments were missing was frustrating. Sad experience overall, and not somewhere I'd return to read more

This place was good. The inside is very interesting with an authentic theme and colors. Service was excellent! We were seated quickly and the food came pretty fast. We came for the chilaquiles. We were impressed by the chips & salsa. The chilaquiles were good, but got soggy quickly. I prefer to have a sauce drizzled over my chilaquiles instead of covered with sauce for that very reason. Too much crema & cheese. Overall, it was a good visit. I might be back to try something else, though.. read more

Only a 5 minute drive from home! Very authentic inside. Warm welcome and seated immediately. Plenty of parking and not very busy. So far lots of perks. The menu is large and the prices are to be envied by any restaurant. The three of us ordered something different and everything was very good. They bring chips and salsa and even refilled it without charging. I regret not taking a picture of my chicken taco salad. I got too excited about eating it. It was huge! I took most of it home. I did notice a sewer smell at the entrance and I'm sure they are aware because they were burning incense. This obviously wasn't their fault. I've noticed it occasionally at other places. Make sure to bring your glasses because some of the print on the menu is very small. I was wishing for bean dip to go with the chips. I didn't check the menu and didn't ask. None of those things will keep us from going back. I highly recommend this restaurant! I can't wait to go back. read more

Great food and service as always. I can always rely on el zarape to come through with the good eats!

I go here every single Saturday for pozole. It is THE BEST in the valley. I have tried so many places and this one is the BEST. I always get the pescado ceviche and pozole. The servers are very nice. My only negative thing to say would be that it can take them a while to get you out of there when you're ready to leave... but usually because there is one server and they can get very busy. Its well worth the wait every single time though! read more

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality, especially by Angel, who went above and beyond to make our visit exceptional. Their salsa selection alone is worth the visit. The verde and rojo were both bursting with flavor, but the salsa macho for the birria? Absolutely next level! I sampled a variety of dishes, and each one was a standout. The Chilaquiles El Zarape were perfectly crispy and smothered in just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The Birria Quesadilla and Quesabirria Tacos were rich, savory, and utterly addictive. And don't even get me started on the Taco Al Pastor, Taco Asada, and Taco Carnitas. Each one was a testament to authentic Mexican flavors and expertly prepared meats. We also tried the Birria Tatemada, which was fall off the bone tender and packed with delicious spices, and the Torta Cubana, a hearty and satisfying sandwich that's a must try. But wait, there's more! We got a sneak peek at their pancake menu! The Fresas con Crema pancakes were light and fluffy with a delightful sweetness. The Chocolate Abuelita pancakes were rich, decadent, and a chocolate lover's dream. The Mazapán pancakes were a unique and delicious twist on a classic flavor, and the Jamaica Berry pancakes were a refreshing and fruity delight. Trust me, you'll want to try them all! Overall, El Zarape is a must for anyone craving authentic and delicious Mexican food in Las Vegas. The exceptional service, combined with their mouthwatering dishes and pancakes, makes for an experience you won't soon forget. read more

Coming in we were greeted right away & seated , the restaurant it very spacious lots of seating great for small or big groups. Staff was very friendly and checked on us to make sure we had what we needed, after ordering the food didnt take too long. We ordered the menudo, taco de lengua (kids) and chilaquiles breakfast. Flavor wise everything was yummy my son loved his taco and rice , my chilaquiles were tasty just wish they were a tiny bit spicy but loved the side potatoes very flavorful and my parents had the menudo they liked it they did mention the soup is a bit thicker then were used too but still good. We will definitely keep this place in mind when were in the are thank you for a great first visit ! read more

The smell in the restaurant was disgusting, making us wonder what the issue was. Unacceptable to have this smell where food is served. We had our mom, who had limited mobility, so we stayed. Had it not been for that, we would have left.Food was terrible, very bland and no taste at all; it wasn't even hot. We will not be back. read more

Great food, great service! I'm hoping they do well in this spot. Food is authentic. I've had: Pazole -fabulous Chicken enchiladas-good Birria tacos-fantastic Mole- I usually love mole but this one isn't sweet El zarape chilaquiles - very good but spicy! Chile rellano- super Fideo- flavorful Steak ranchero-sooo good! Pricing very reasonable, servicing size is generous. read more

This was my first time ordering from here (pick up) and I decided to keep it simple with menudo. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed. The soup had barely any meat or tripe, just an overwhelming amount of hominy, and the broth spilled everywhere as soon as I opened the container. It felt more like a bowl of hominy soup than actual menudo. If this is how it's served, I can only imagine how the rest of the menu might be. Overall, not a good experience, I've never had menudo like this before. On a positive note, the restaurant was nicely decorated, and the young lady at the counter was very friendly. read more

This is my first time at this location, I got asada nachos, asada tacos and 2 kids combos. My kids combos were missing the "combo", and my asada tacos were not very good. However my asada tacos were 12/10 good. read more

I rarely gush about anything but El Zarape is gush worthy!!!!! We have made several visits already. Today we visited with 3 grandchildren and they loved it. (8/31/25). We arrived about 3:30, knowing they close at 5 on Sunday and we wanted to make sure we had time to enjoy. Lola was the only server working and she was running around serving everyone and keeping track with a smile. It was amazing. I'll be honest, when we walked in today and she was behind the register cashing out a customer, I leaned toward my husband and whispered, " Oh, I like her, she's good." And she did not disappoint. My new food try was an Asada taco salad. It was great though the lettuce was either over-dressed or hadn't been completely dried. Considering that it looked like there was only one person in the kitchen, I understood. We had the usual tacos for the 10 you, which she is obsessed with. 11 yo old had the chicken quesadilla. Loved it but she couldn't finish because it was so big. 15 yo had vegetarian nachos and pretty much wiped them out. Hubby had the Chicken Mole. If you've read my prior review, it was divine. I kept dipping my fork into the sauce...delicious!! Go check them out, they will not disappoint with their house made salsa, chirozo and so many other items. ENJOY!!!! read more

I went here with my mom and girlfriend since we are always on the lookout for yummy and authentic Mexican food. This place is soooo tasty, portions are very generous, service is warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this place. I had the chilaquiles divorciados and it was so delicious and they were not spicy and if that's what you like they have those options too. Cute little lotería theme ambience loved it! read more

We had another amazing dinner at our new favorite restaurant (El Zarape). I had the Shrimp Fajitas and my husband got his usual (Carnitas). The food was very good and it was the perfect portion size and priced just right. The service was incredible..Lola was friendly and was quick to answer any questions we had and made great some recommendations. We took a couple of Tamales home for lunch at work tomorrow, but they didn't make it to lunch The ambiance was great too. I highly recommend this place. read more

I called a little after 10am to place an order over the phone. Mind you, my order was only for one meal. They said it'd be ready in 10 minutes, and that's when I got there. I told them I had a phone order and they told me to wait. I took a phone call for about 5 minutes and reminded them again about my phone order. The lady kept walking past me, almost ignoring me and continued to make me wait. I told them I called shortly after 10am and that they're the ones who said my order will be ready after 10 minutes. All the cooks looked confused in the back and I heard one of them say something about the order not showing up on their screen. When I finally went to pay, the screen said "no onions, no cilantro". I told them I didn't ask for that and they said they'll remake it. I asked how long it would take, and she blamed the delay on the "crowd" which only consisted of about 4 tables. I ended up walking out with no food after being there until 10:30. So ridiculous for all of that to be over ONE meal and the restaurant was only like 1/4 full. Not a single apology from any of them either. They need to take away phone ordering if they don't know how to manage it. I expect better from a restaurant that just opened read more
