El Zarape — Restaurant in Bay City

The experience here was a little mixed, but also decent.

My partner and I were sitting right next to where a lot of employees were standing around, but none seemed interested to check on us. Service was a little slow, but when the waitress eventually came around, she was pleasant enough.

We found the interior strange, with a low office ceiling, poor lighting, and odd 'fun house' mirrors on the walls.

The salsa was okay but tasted strongly of pickles. The refried beans tasted strongly of .. sour cream? It was unpleasant, and my partner didn't like it either. The mole chicken was way too flavorful; it was like the sauce and the seasoned chicken were fighting for supremacy, clashing instead of complementing each other. The rice was quite nice.

Overall, it was a really okay experience. I liked some of the food. The service was nice (when they paid attention to us)....

We are working in Bay City .. we are from Humble TX. And we happened to Google Mexican food and we decided on on El Zarape.. and I WILL TELL YOU.. THEY ARE BEYOND GREAT!! THE food and service was OUTSTANDING . Fast.. great service and every bite (of my Friday 2 beef taco lunch special) was more delicious than the but B4 it.. we will definitely be back.. oh the Margaritas were also PERFECT.. PRICES PRETTY REASONABLE for the times we're living in.. DO NOT HESITATE ANOTHER SECOND Choose A 1 ...5+ 🌟...A++ and go...

Me and my wife enjoyed the food we had for take out the first time, and dine in the second time. Both where good, but I think the take out was better. I think because the dine in food was a little cold but still good. A crowd came in and the wait staff was making drinks and taking order and I think just forgot about the food. I like my food hot. Nevertheless this place is still a good place to eat at. We will be back for sure. Gonna make...
