loyal customer and came in for lunch to find the menu has changed. Not a fan of the new menu. It's too hard to understand/follow. Missing my favorite taco that is no longer being offered. Server was outstanding as always. truly bummed. read more

A strong four stars. This bookmark proved to be worth the drive on a Sunday afternoon where we enjoyed $5 any flavor margaritas during their Sunday through Thursday Happy Hour! I enjoyed the spicy watermelon margarita while my dining companion went with a traditional one. We tried four tacos. I'll list them in order of preference: Red Skull - No notes. This is a well thought out combo. Get this for sure. Surf Ninja - A little light on the shrimp, but delicious. Whippersnapper - Nice flavor combo, but ask for extra passion fruit slaw or pineapple to step up the pow a bit! Island Boy - Too spicy, but kinda in a nice way. It was yummy but also a little too much on the tongue. Chips were hot and fresh. Complimentary salsa was chunky and maybe not worth the space in my tummy. Service was top notch. Parking was easy. We are going back to keep working through the menu. read more

Server/bartender was on her phone 90% of the time we were there, so needless to say, our service was extremely poor. Food was fine when it arrived, but drink refills were hard to obtain, extra sour cream was hard to score, and the our menus were disturbingly unclean. Less time on social media and gossiping would be a positive change for sure. read more

I reunited with my older brother here after a really bad injury of his, and it was the perfect spot with such good vibes and very unique and interesting food that kept us in high spirits after the recent accident. Everyone that went out to eat here with my brother, and I was happy and impressed with the choice of food spot. The service was quick and easy in the waitress was super sweet.. Also anyone who comes here will quickly notice the beautiful murals painted on the wall. This is the coolest taco house ever as it is comic themed with like a retro super hero vibe as there are insane, colorful murals painted on the wall walls of all sorts of things, including a Lego Spider-Man, which is my favorite.!!! I definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking to try something new and unique as they have tacos made with literally anything you could think of read more

Taco and margarita were both served room temperature DISGUSTING. Was 7:45 on a Friday night and all the staff cared about was leaving.

We have been to Zaps many times and it is our go to for tacos. They have a large selection and they are delicious!! We dined there tonight and it was great as always. The service is good too. read more

Atmosphere is pretty cool, service was friendly, the wide variety of tacos to choose from might make you want to try them all, but it's a minimum $6 a taco, however tacos you won't find anywhere else. read more

I'm not from the area, and I was in a Mexican feeling. I spontaneously picked this place to satisfy my palette. I arrived at 8:30, and the place was empty. It looked like they were closing for the day even though they are open until 10pm. The chips and salsa were nothing too extraordinary, for the chips were flakey, flimsy, but firm. My food took about 25 minutes to be brought out, but the quality was the same as a fast food restaurant. They also serve limes as 1/8, rather than 1/4 read more

Very disappointed that the fish tacos have been taken of the menu. The new menu is not as streamlined as you may have wanted it to be. The quality of the tacos are still good but probably won't be coming back as often as my favorite has been removed. read more

Zap! has some unique taco selections that definitely stray from the traditional Mexican staples found at countless of other restaurants scattered throughout the city and burbs. I remember when I was a kid, when the first Taco Bell opened in our neighborhood (yes, I'm that old), and that was everyone's first exposure to "Mexican Food". Well, we've come a long way since then, and I've learned the difference between traditional tacos, and what is often referred to as "Gringo Tacos" (lettuce, cheese & tomatoes). I would say that Zap! Taco House has elevated the gringo taco to the next level, but sometimes more variety isn't always better variety. The Red Skull & Vigilante tacos were both very good, with the Red Skull taco being the only one I would make a return trip for. The John Popper and Hot Honey Crispy Shrimp tacos were very ordinary, for lack of a better word. Not bad, just not as exciting as their descriptions suggested. The chips and salsa were fine. The margaritas were fine. There was nothing wrong with anything during our experience... the service was prompt and friendly. The place was really cool inside - with a whole comic book vibe that was well executed and really fun. I think the main issue with Zap! is that the menu descriptions and the overall cool vibe kind of overshadowed the actual taste of the food and drinks.... I really wanted the food to be as good as the place looked, and as the menu described, and it wasn't bad - per se - but it was just fine. There are many places with much better tacos closer to our home. read more

Zap is a family staple for us. We love coming here- the staff is always friendly, the decor is cool, and my kids love the servers. Overall it's awesome-it can be a bit pricey though. read more

It's been a while since we went to Zap but so glad we went back to satisfy a taco craving! My husband got the Motown Philly and talked about it all the way to the parking lot. And then again some home. I went with what I felt was "basic" but the Whippersnapper shrimp tacos are THE best! I love shrimp tacos and order them wherever I can, and these by far are some of the best I've had. The amount of actual shrimp in a serving is amazing and the toppings are so flavorful. We will definitely not let so much time go in between visits! read more

We walked in and was seated right away. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was great! I had the red skull taco and a shrimp and hot honey taco. Also I had an elote. Over this place was a lot better than I expected. Very clean. And the waitresses are great. Definitely will come back when I'm in the area. read more

Great atmosphere, but the service was subpar. Also, even though the taco menu seemed to have a lot of great options, none (that my wife and I tried) seemed to be above average . All-in-all a mediocre experience with tacos that are almost as good as what my 9 year old can make at home. read more

I'm torn. Food and drinks were delicious. But service...probably the worst I've ever had. Food came out after 30 minutes, and BEFORE the drinks. When drinks finally came out, they were delivered to the table next to us. Thankfully the people next to us just passed them to us. And if that wasn't bad enough, they forgot my daughter's drinks...and our extra order of chips and salsa. But the food really was good. So torn... read more

10/10 experience. Great staff, shout out to Allie our server for being the real MVP and making great recommendations. Cool atmosphere. Burrito bowl was filling and had all the toppings. Company enjoyed the tacos, loaded fries and elotes. Margaritas were great. Will definitely be back! read more

I've been here twice for lunch I really like it. You get a basket of homemade chips with salsa on the house. Very delicious. The fact that they have an extensive menu with different tacos and flavors is cool. Very tasty. I've had tacos and a bowl. My only complaint was in the bowl I was supposed to have charred corn but it wasn't charred but plain corn is fine. The restaurant has that bar/restaurant feel. Both times I was there there were two waitresses for the lunch crowd so you may have to wait a bit to be waited on but that's ok. You can also eat at the bar. The artwork is fun too. Superhero themed. read more

This place is quickly becoming a favorite. A little small inside, but if you go before the rush it's perfect. Everything was clean. Servers are learning but very nice. Big tvs to watch different shows or sports. Chips and salsa- free and 9/10 Killer Queso- 10/10 Vigilante Tacos- 10/10 (my wife's absolute favorite) The American- 8/10. Solid choice. Fatty McGee- 10/10. I was timid as I don't generally like onion anything. Holy $hit was this amazing. Lime Margarita Frozen- 9/10 read more

I'm sad to write this review because we have been coming here for so long but the service is unacceptable. They seem to always be 2-3 people short every time we come in. Waiting 40 minutes for a drink order doesn't work. The staff is very friendly but obviously too busy to do anything about the time and accuracy issues with orders. The food is great but not so much when they don't bring it out when it's ready because they are understaffed. I was hoping this was a one off issue but the last 3 times we've been here it's been the standard. read more

I can't get enough in this place every time. Mama remotely close by.I have to stop by even if I just ate lol

A fantastic spot with amazing food and an unforgettable atmosphere. Highly recommend! Cool artwork on the walls! Love the steampunk theme right next to the train tracks. Absolutely mouth watering tacos... I ordered four recommended by the bartender. Each had a distinct flavor and each better than the other. read more

ZAP! Taco House...Such a cute little home town Taco Spot!!!!!! Fun themed Restaurant with "Old School Batman syarring Adam West, with Burt Ward as Robin playing on rotation!!! We were greeted and Seated, our Server Abbey was on point our drink order takenand filled quickly. Abbey brought us the House Chips n Salsa!!!! And let me tell you, That Salsa got in a little kung foo kick to the back of my throat, but boy was it good!!!!! Hmmmmm maybe that's the inspiration for "ZAP Taco's " , it's not unbearably spicey it just catches you off guard!!! The menu was just as fun as the restaurant, with Themed named selections. I had the "Aqua" (Cod) and the "Whippersnapper " (Shrimp) Taco with a red coleslaw pineapple mixture perfection!!! Everything on my taco was Married together!!!! That whole relationship on a Flour tortilla is worth another visit!!!!! The Hubby had the "Vigilante" ( Steak) Taco, he said it was an 8 out of 10, for him those are high marks , so suffice it to say, he enjoyed them!!! We ordered the Hulk Smash green rice ( Yum) which was very tasty ha ha they didnt miss on the Lou Farigno in a bowl it had a lil Jalepeno!!! Last but not least ...BAM!!!! to wash it all down Frozen Strawberry MARGARITAS !!!!! I HAD A BRAIN FREEZE trying to sip it through a straw!!! All and all cute place medium price, drinks are pricey, good family night dinner spot with the kiddos. Food was plentiful and delicious, our server Abbey was FABtastic!!!!! We will return ..next time with the kiddos!!!!! read more

The large margarita is huge. I had a frozen strawberry and friends/family had the lime on the rocks. Everyone enjoyed them. Well made and free chips and delicious salsa complimentary. The outside has a nice sitting area in a quiet part of the "downtown" Mokena area. Inside was chilly but that's what the alcohol helps with, right? TVs have sports and the 1967-1968 television Batman series playing starring Adam West. Apparently the restaurant name comes from one of those on screen exclamations the show was famous for: ZAP!!! The service was quick and friendly. We did not, but please get there before the kitchen closes to try some of the great menu items. We shall return soon! You should too. read more

ROMEO REVIEW Zaps's Taco House | Mokena, IL How do you spell eclectic? Z-A-P-S. Zap's new menu is not only eclectic but also impressively creative. The only thing that ties Zap's to a typical taco joint are the tortillas, chips, salsa, and margaritas. Using the tortillas as a canvas, Zap's chef has crafted a menu that's not only enjoyable to read but even more delightful to taste. Who else serves up corned beef tacos, Nashville hot cheese curd tacos, and fried chicken & bacon tacos? You get the idea! You should really check out this menu. https://www.zaptacohouse.com/menu I highly recommend trying the Red Skull: Korean BBQ Shaved Ribeye, Sesame Ginger Slaw, Gochujang Aioli, Crispy Butter Bread Crumbs, and Scallions. You won't find that your local taqueria. And don't forget to check out their Soup of the Day, a refreshing margarita! ROMEO Retired Old Man Eating Out read more

I would come here 1x a week for the past several years and the past few months the salsa hasn't been consistent, they've been out of chips many times, out of guac atleast 2 times and churros too. My husband refuses to go back because 1. Out of chips and 2. The most recent time he was there we waited 40+ mins for 4 tacos...there was only 3 other tables and 1 take out and she waited almost an hour. I'm not sure what's going on but it's upsetting. This is my favorite restaurant and I hope things turn around. read more

Ordered on DoorDash. Received an order missing $20 worth of food. Paper bag arrived stapled and I doubt the DoorDasher did that in the car. Called the restaurant and the lady who answered the phone told me I shouldn't be calling them and needed to call DoorDash. Then she hung up on me. I doubt Dasher took my $20 in food and then stapled the bag shut. Clearly their mistake and poor customer service. read more

This restaurant just outside of downtown Mokena is outstanding . I love the old original Batman vibe from the 60's. They even have the original Batman series on one of their TV's. The main reason I love this place is their food. They have a wide variety of different style Tacos with crazy names. I love the skirt steak and Philly taco. Also they have probably have the best Margaritas in the south suburbs. A bit pricey however outstanding. read more

Been here a couple of times and have to say it doesn't disappoint! First is the theming: it is comic book themed! The walls have murals of all things geeky which I love. One of the TVs always have the Batman TV series with Adam West. And the bar has pages from comic books in it. Super cool theme! The service is also really good. Water is filled which is my go to barometer for attentive staff and a gentleman came by and asked us if everything was good. The food is delicious as well! All the menu item names are also comic book themed. Last time I was here I got the Whippersnapper (shrimp) and Vigilante (skirt steak). Both were absolutely delicious. The second time I came here, I got the Aqua Taco (fish) and Red Skull (korean bbq ribeye). Those two were probably my favorite! It is a little pricey but since I don't eat too much, I thought the portion were good for thr price but that's up for debate. Overall, great theme, great food and great staff! It is a small restaurant so it gets filled up pretty quick so get there early!! read more

First time here through a friends recommendation. Fun place with a good crowd on hand, which is a good sign. Had the regular margaritas. Pretty much low key. Pretty bland. First basket of chips and salsa is on the house. Chips were crispy and crunchy. Salsa tasted like they opened a can of stewed tomatoes, blended them and poured it in the bowl. No spice, no heat, no flavor. Ordered a Vigilante and All American taco. Vigilante had quite a bit of flavor but was ice cold. The All American was very good. Seasoned well and warm. Will give this place another chance on another day. read more
