I wanted to like Zapata. I really, truly did. I had faith in my comrades who had reviewed here…read morebefore me, faith that they would surely not steer me wrong. But I was let down pretty terribly. Excitement was high as we ordered a Pastor Burrito, Birria, Chorizo, and Pastor Tacos, and Zapata fries. The fries were cold. I don't know how it was too hard to warm up some premade fries, but it managed to happen. The one part of the fries that was good was the pork. And I still wasn't blown away. It really seems like they just can't find a happy medium, because the fries were cold but most of the meats were cooked crematorium-style. I mean, absolutely burnt to a crisp. I also just don't know how hard it is to mess up a good chorizo, but it managed it happen. My Birria Taco was luckily pretty good, but I was just severely disappointed by everything else. Nothing stood out as being especially good-decent, even, in most cases. And we didn't even get any chips to go with our large assortment of salsas. What the heck, man. The pork bumped this review up to two stars, and the pricing was decent, but we still had to spend an extra $20 at a nearby gas station to get the taste of overcooked meat and sadness out of our mouths. I'm not sure how it got this far on Yelp, but I'm going to be the person to say that Zapata may have been the biggest culinary disappointment in my year so far. No wonder, considering the meat tastes like it's been forgotten in the fiery depths of a bonfire for weeks too long.

This is a great spot located in the Rockrimmon area. I mention the location because I think this…read morespot is an asset to the area! There's not much like it around Rockrimmon and I think it's a needed local spot. Tacos are delicious. Queso & chips are SO good. Salsa selection is tasty and diverse. Portions are huge (you'll have leftovers). It's a great spot with friendly staff! This is a great spot for lunch!

I've been coming here since the day they opened!

I wanted to love this place given the high ratings, but unfortunately, it felt pretty overrated and…read moredidn't live up to the hype, especially for the price. I'd say it's a 3 star experience overall, but the high cost of the food bumps it down to a 2 for me. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was decent. The restaurant felt clean enough, though it was a bit cold inside because they had the door wide open. On the food side, the birria tacos my wife ordered were definitely the best part of the meal, and I really enjoyed the refried beans inside my burrito. I ordered the California burrito with Al Pastor ($14). The amount of meat felt really skimpy, and honestly, I couldn't even tell it was Al Pastor, it just tasted like regular asada. The fries inside were cold and clearly weren't fresh. The salsa bar had a decent selection, but the salsas themselves were just "mid" and nothing spectacular. My wife also tried the birria ramen ($17), which was a major letdown. It was basically just packaged Top Ramen noodles thrown into the consomé. It was a very weird dish and felt incredibly low quality for the price tag. Between the skimpy portions, cold ingredients, and instant noodle ramen, it just felt overpriced for what we got. I really don't see myself going back again.

Absolutely worth the visit!…read more Tacos Del Gordo was amazing! From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly, and the quality of the food for the price is hard to beat. The portions are HUGE! I had the cheese enchiladas, and they were absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the birria plate, and it came with so much tender, flavorful meat that we took enough home to make a couple more tacos later. Having lived in Texas for many years and visited Mexico for about eight weeks each year, we're pretty particular when it comes to authentic Mexican food--and this place impressed us. The salsa bar alone is worth mentioning. There were so many great flavors, and everything tasted fresh. Part of me wants to keep this place a secret so it doesn't get too busy , but they truly deserve all the attention and support they can get. Great prices, generous portions, authentic flavors, amazing salsa, and genuinely friendly service. Definitely make the effort to check them out--you won't regret it!

Overall, given that expectation the food was NOT the same nor what is included. The other place does it up right with a grilled jalapeño per plate.

The torta was barely toasted- had HUGE onions, and the el pastor was incredibly fatty (pic below of a huge fat piece). The quesabirria was barely toasted and not as good as the other spot.

I wish the consome was a bit stronger in flavor, but the birria tacos were a perfect combo of crispy and juicy. Buuuut the lengua tacos were the real star of the show.

Coming from San Diego, I've had way better carne asada fries, and these were a flop comparatively. It's a large portion size, if you care, but I'd rather spend money on more tacos.
