El Mexicano Zapata Cantina

On first impression walking into this place, the restaurant gave off this welcoming Mexican warmth (and not because the heaters were on inside). The staff were friendly and accomodating to us. Their mains do seem pricey being over $30 but are well worth the price as portion sizes are good to share among two people. I tried their chicken enchilada and churros and they were great! ¡Muchas gracias!

Was recommended to this place. We ordered the beef empanadas and the pulled pork fajitas. The beef empanadas was quite good, the pastry was crispy and the beef inside was nicely flavour and pairs well with the creamy spicy sauce. The salad salsa that was included was actually really unique, a bit sweet and sour that complements the empanada well. The fajita was not bad, a lot of sauce to choose from and I particularly like the red and green salsa sauce. There was only 5 wraps which I felt not enough, given amount of stuffs to put in. However as a whole I felt only the sauce was good and everything felt a bit simple. Overall, the meals here are above average and we want to try the churros next time.

Despite looking like a Mexican themed restaurant, this place is great. Food is excellent with some minor changes from traditional. Large dinner portions. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Drinks were not strong, but were tasty. Prices were reasonable keeping in mind the food is very good. Outdoor seating has warm gas heaters. Good vegetarian options. Either book or be prepared to wait. Street parking can be a challenge. Highly recommended.
