What reviewers say about Villa y Zapata
“This place was a hole in the wall dive bar more than a restaurant. The ambiance is not great and the place does not seem very clean. It's also awkward when you walk in right into the bar. The Mexican food was lackluster and not worth the price we paid for it. As someone else mentioned the margarita was not good at all and was neon green in color.”
“Service is good. Food is good. However the margs and guac are not good. A marg is not sour mix and tequila. A marg is lime juice, agave, triple sec or orange liquor and tequila. I get that the bosses are trying to be efficient but then pre mix the other stuff. Don’t use sour mix. The bartender did say that if we want a marg the right way we can just ask next time but that shouldn’t be a special request, that should just be the standard. Look forward to coming back when the margs are redone.”
“Best Mexican spot in town. If you want more authentic Mexican, this is it. If you're looking for americanized, this isn't it. Everything is fresh, the prices are reasonable, the food is delicious 😋 The mole sauce is to die for, especially with their enchiladas. Same with the green sauce. The salsa is made fresh every day and it tastes amazing... sometimes it has a little kick to it but other days it doesnt. I love when I go and it has some heat to it.. it tastes better. You really can't go wrong. Alot of people don't even know this place is here.. hidden gem! I don't get to go often but when I want Mexican this is where I'm at. Been coming here for 10 years and I can never ever just order one thing 🙂 carne con Chile is so yummy if you like spicy Guisado de Puerco is also one of my favorites.”
