★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mary Naughton · Nov 2025

This is a nice place and they’ve put quite a lot of detail and effort into the decor, and it’s all really nice. That being said, the menu and offerings seem very American friendly and cater more towards Americans. If that is you and you prefer that type of place, you’ll love it here. I wanted something a bit different, the decor is so overly done I wouldn’t expect to see a Mexican person eating in here unless it’s because they work here. This is not to say anything negative, there’s definitely a market for it. There are no agua frescas here, the chilaquiles were absolutely covered with so much cheese you could’ve told me it was baked ziti or mac and cheese. This is a spot for the white ladies to turn up after work and have drinks. You’re their target market. Even though, I an a white lady

We decided to grab some dinner at La Frontera in Middletown, went to order and they didnt have anymore Chile Rellenos....so we left and tried Zapata for the 1st time. We WILL be choosing Zapata from here on out. The margaritas were good, the salsa they brought out was chunkier and hotter than La Frontera, the chicken soup and tamale app was delicious. I ordered the Chile Relleno entree and it was delicious as well.

Loved our party here with friends, Festive, beautiful atmosphere (made for great photos), staff was outstanding and anticipated our every need. Salsa is fresh and bright, rice and beans among the best I've had. A big shout out to Adolpho, Cristian and Victor for the friendly service and for making our night the great time thtat it was. Highly recommend!
