⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ El Zarape is a gem! The arroz con pollo was outstanding—rich, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. The flautas were perfectly crisp on the outside while the chicken inside stayed moist and delicious (which is no small feat). Service was excellent and genuinely friendly, making the whole experience even better. The dining room is on the smaller side and can feel a bit cramped, but honestly, the food and overall experience more than make up for it. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to—and happily recommending to others. 🌮✨

Great food & great atmosphere. Casual dining. The staff are super friendly & really make you feel welcome. We went for dinner and were sat immediately. I had the cheese enchilada combo & my husband had the green burrito, both were very tasty. There are televisions playing sports, but the noise level was low so you can still have a conversation. It is in a large shared lot so there is plenty of easy parking.

First time here. This restaurant's parking is weirdly located. There is no entrance to the restaurant near the parking. If you don't know the restaurant is on that corner you could easily miss it. The service here was outstanding 👏 The servers were on their toes and very friendly. I think if you order shrimp 🍤 here on anything you can't go wrong. They were plum and cooked to perfection. The crunchy taco 🌮 surprised me 🤔 it had beans in it. I think they should leave that out for it made the taco a bit mushy. Other than that everything else was tasty.

Delicious home Mexican food! But besides the amazing food what makes this place so special is the staff! They go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and ensure that your time here is the best. They know a lot of their customers by first name and people are genuinely happy to come eat here. We are forever customers of El Zarape on Ball!

We saw the stars and thought we should try this place. The ambiance is welcoming. The service was courteous. The noise was average and allowed for conversation. The food was not authentic Mexican food at all. The chile relleno was descent, but the rest of the food was not good. First of all, the way food is served, in my opinion, is disgusting! BUT we were there, and we were hungry and willing to try new places and believe it or not we kept an open mind. But no, one must really not know about Mexican food to like this place. I tried everything, but the more I looked at the plates the more disgusted I was. The prices are high too. We will not be back.
