La Zapoteca in Moorpark, California has vaulted up the ranks to become a must-try location here in…read moresunny Ventura County. A remarkably unassuming facade protects what I can only describe as a piece of culinary authenticity buried in the heart of Southern California. For my first (and, without a doubt, not my last) trip, I went with the chicken enmoladas: Mexican-style rice, beans garnished with crumbled Cotija (or at least I assume), and three shredded chicken enchiladas swimming in a shallow pool of some of the most delicious black mole sauce I have tasted. Heat, sweet, and salt dance with one another, combining for a balanced yet robust flavor profile. Cliché though it may be, I could drink this stuff through a straw. It was simply THAT delicious. As seen in the attached image, the chicken enmoladas are a work of art for the eyes, the taste buds, and, I'd venture to argue, the soul. For a place that has been around for the relatively lengthy duration of two years, it is a surprise to not see it accrue more reviews. Part of me is torn in contributing to the attraction of attention to what is undoubtedly a gem in the Conejo Valley - one whose accessibility I will enjoy until this place inevitably ends up on local top-eatery lists. If you are in Moorpark - or frankly even remotely in proximity to this phenomenal establishment - you have got to stop in for lunch.

He brought our drinks, chips, salsa, and food out promptly and continued checking on us throughout our meal. Unfortunately, one interaction with another server really affected the experience. The CO seemed to be out on my ginger ale, and it tasted awful. When I politely asked another server if he could help me get a different drink, he seemed visibly annoyed. He grabbed the cup from my hand and walked away while I was still trying to speak to him. It was close to closing time, but the attitude felt completely unnecessary. Thankfully, William stepped in and brought me a bottled ginger ale with a cup of ice and apologized for the bad-tasting drink. That is great customer service, and we really appreciated him! Aside from that interaction, the food was good, the ambiance was great, and the setting felt very authentic. My husband ordered a beer that came out ice cold and refreshing, which he loved. We will definitely give this place another try because overall we enjoyed it. Unfortunately, sometimes one server's attitude can affect an otherwise great experience.

The restaurant has a patio area with tented sides, which is where they seat large groups. The concept is a good one, but when the overhead heaters don't work and it's cold outside, that's not ideal. Service was slow, and our waiter made repeated mistakes. My husband asked for a taste of a particular draft beer, and was presented with a full schooner instead. He likes to squeeze in lemon and had to ask multiple times for that side request. Then our young granddaughter ordered the kids' burrito, but the brought the adult version and charged for it. I didn't pay the bill so I didn't realize it right away. Not until it was too late, actually. Dear Hubby and I ordered the shrimp fajitas to share, which had an underwhelming number of shrimp. Whole lot of grilled onions, though. The taste was just so-so. The best item I had was the virgin mango margarita. Otherwise, it was an overpriced meal in chilly surroundings. Kudos to the restaurant for having colorful, festive Valentine's decor. That was a plus.

This new spot in Moorpark just keeps getting better! On my first visit, I really enjoyed the food and service, but had a couple of small complaints. I came back recently, and I'm happy to say they've completely fixed those issues. The tortillas are still delicious without being overly greasy, and the complimentary chips are now fresh and crispy. The super tacos with pastor are outstanding flavorful, filling, and unique. The salsa bar is fresh with plenty of great options, and the horchata is perfectly refreshing. Customer service is always warm and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I'm very impressed with how quickly they listened to feedback and made improvements. This restaurant has officially earned a full five stars from me. A fantastic addition to Moorpark I'll definitely be a regular! read more
