The Scene – Everything at Zapata's says authentic, from the handcrafted chairs and booths to the festive music that fills the air. This fiesta-like atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and servers are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. – – The Food – Bold flavors and superior quality.

Amazing!
by purplemo
I am a student at UNCC, so of course this restaurant is nearby. I have been frequenting this place for the past 3 years and have never had a bad experience. I absolutely love sitting on the upper balcony type area off the second floor, but when cold, I prefer the bottom level where the bar is. Came here once or twice and watched their karaoke night...very funny and entertaining. Overall, authentic mexican food with the NICEST people. They also offer a discount with your student id!
- Pros: Prices, Portions, Student Discount, Salsa
- Cons: None

A very average if not dissapointing Mexican restaurant with high prices.
by hutch1960
I have been there at lunch and dinner and find this place to be only average in their execution. What you read on the menus and what you get are very different. The wait staff on once occasion was very rude.
If you like sub-standard food this place is for you.
- Pros: Close to my house.
- Cons: Dumb enough to give them a third chance which was my mistake.

The Details on Zapata's Cantina
Go Easy on the Chips:
Zapata's serves large portions, even by today's restaurant standards. If you're ordering both an appetizer and an entree, plan to take home a doggie bag. Or consider sharing one of each with a companion.
