Enjoyed a nice and tasty meal this evening with my husband. We had a half order of the nachos to share, I had the burrito del mar and he’s had the El Bandito. Great meal! My eyes were bigger than my stomach (as usual) and I was only able to half of my seafood burrito. What really impressed me was that the gentleman looking after our table noticed and made a point of checking if the food was okay. I assured him it was, I just got full. We live in the Barossa and we’re not heading straight home so I didn’t take my leftovers. They discounted my main for me as a gesture of good will. I didn’t ask for this and it was certainly not expected. Thank you �. We will definitely be back (and I will order a more appropriate size dish for myself next time �)
Anybody who rates this place lower than a 5 is lying.
The food is amazing, service impeccable atmosphere spot on. Do yourself a favor. Get in for some of the best Mexican you can buy
Monday night Mexican cravings were a thing so I came here for pina coladas and nachos with a friend the other night. Expectations weren't sky high, but I was well chuffed with the meal. The pina colada margarita I tried was delicious, a generous glass, and soooo reasonably priced - I believe it was less than $10! Food wise, one of the specials, a haloumi and mushroom empanada, was absolutely divine and came served with a 'boom boom shake the room' salsa verde and a tasty enough fresh avocado and onion side. The nachos had plenty of topping ie piled high with sour cream, jalapenos and avo (unlike some of the piles of chips and measly looking half-coverage of cheese and token salsa dollop you get at other places!) Setting wise, I wouldn't bring a date here. I'd bring kids - it's a family friendly neighbourhood restaurant that actually does decent food for all.
Nachos were awesome , ribs were great. Been to the sister restaurant in semaphore which is pretty good as well. Round tables for 4 may be a little small if sharing
It has been some time sine we have been to this place. The decor is really lovely and the staff were all really polite and professional. The nacho supreme starter half serve to share was massive. Amazing dish and possibly the best nachos I have had outside the USA. The chicken enchiladas were really great as well. Not too big but fresh and full of flavour. The frozen margarita is always a must and did not disappoint. A great Mexican restaurant in a great location.
First time visit here for a random dating dinner. Nice settings, we enjoyed the privacy offered in the dining area. We ordered main course and cocktail. Food was not too bad but cocktail was beliw average. Sorry to say that. Overall dining experience was not too bad :)
Zapata's is the place to go if you're not sure about mexican food. It's kid friendly - tick. The service was friendly - tick. The food was ok. It was busy and we needed to seek attention from the waiters.
This restaurant has a great ambiance. Even when it is busy there are many corners to make it feel private. The service was good. My favourite part was being able to eat my nacho bowl. Yum!
Really enjoy the experience. It had a feel of 'they have been doing this for years'. Margarita was a bit plain. Food was good. Service - very good. I would return. Perhaps doesn't top my favor adelaide Mexican but a close second.
Tasty Mexican food and at an alright price. Tried the tacos, chimichanga and ribs. Half prices margaritas on Thursdays were the highlight!! Service was friendly and went home really full!
Prices are right and the food is really nice. Actually I don't like Mexican but my American mate loves it. He brings me here every year. It is consistent and fresh. Give it a go... see if you can find a quiet night as they ate only ok for service when busy.
Great authentic Mexican food . They are certainly not stingy with the guacamole with our nachos and combination dip. Highly recommend the chicken flautas which are 2 deep fried tortilaa with chicken +salsa+non other more guacamole. Something that we dont see in other mexican restaurants. Environment is a bit dingy but ortherwise just enjoy the food.
Great little Mexican restaurant with a lovely ambience and nice warm atmosphere. Had the best nachos I've ever tasted, full of flavour and absolutely delicious. The service here needs some work though - as some of the other reviewers have pointed out, the owner who ushers you to your table comes off a little abrupt, and the tables for couples are quite small with barely enough room for two plates and drinks. We were constantly interrupted by different waitresses who were rushing us to take our plates away before we'd even finished.
Service and food are great here. I have been here a few times and have liked the food a lot. A very good choice of items to pick from and meals are big size. You won't go home hungry at all. Always has plenty of room for you to come in and enjoy dinner.
By far the most Mexican food in Adelaide, and my family is half Mexican. Service is unusual, but still impeccable. You will not get the same waiter, or waitress throughout your meal but somehow they make this work. Your food still comes out in a timely manner and they don't mess up the order, so there can be no complaints here, just be ready for this. Then there is the food portion sizes, they are very generous, you definitely get value for money, just be sure you are hungry before you go here. All up a fantastic meal, atmosphere, and unusual, yet great service. Definitely deserves the 5 stars.
Had best nachos ever after 2 years…. Must visit it will be a memorable one.

Cute mexican restaurant.
The vibrant decor and customer service was on point. She provided us with suggestions and offered us insights on the popular dishes.
The food was unique to our taste buds. The mashed foul beans were my favourite and the rice was filled with flavour.
It was really good
