Good doesn't even begin to describe food in El Zarape. When we first arrived we asked the cashier what the best thing to order was because everything in the menu looked great. He reccomend us the Mole as they were known for it and he personally liked it a lot. We got a tamal, chilaquiles de mole, agua de jamaica, and a torta al pastor. All of the food was incredible from the chips and salsa to the cheese. The staff was very nice and attentive. From the outside it seems like a small little place but inside is a great and cozy atmosphere. They were playing some great music and also had a television. I will definitely continue eating here!

I forgot how good this spot is! Craving Mexican food and decided to stop by. This checked all the boxes because it’s quick and no frills with great service. The quality is also there.. you get what you pay for. I had shrimp tacos and carnitas tacos and it was definitely filling. I also got a horchata which wasn’t great- tasted watered down. Difficult to find parking, and it’s in a sketch area of town. Outside seating only and it’s limited to a small area with a few tables. Worth it though! I want to come back already and try all the other options. They have plates and happy hour menu (although limited)

Tempted to not leave a review for El Zarape because it’s a true hidden gem. I came here once after a night at Harvard & Stone so hungry for tacos - and ended up w a big plate of chilaquiles. Dios mio so good!!!! While you wait for your food you can skip over next door to the liquor emporium for a bevy- we chose the new Hetcho tequila sodas (perfect w the chilaquiles), gin and rose water tonic in a can (delish w the flan), and the Slow&Lo Rock n Rye (good w everything). Girls night out done proper. My Mexican cousins beg us to take them to El Zarape when they are visiting LA 😂😋😘

Ive ordered from here dozens of times! Great serving amount with anything you order. I've relied on them countless times with their great hours. I've been able to pickup from here with very fast service without issue. But some of my feedback aligns with what Ive also been reading here in the 2 year timeframe which is guacamole is heavy on the onions. The onions are often roughly chopped as well so there's a lot of crunch where its a mouth full of onion where you feel like The actual Grinch lol. I'm going to blame my other feedback on covid times. I'm assuming they've lost some great cooks in the last 2 years. Because the last dozen of meals I've had here have ended in really not so fun bathroom trips. All my chicken enchiladas arrive pink pink pink. And they're doused in sauce and whatnot that it covers the pink if you dont look closely. Thought it was a dozen time fluke and since its the same ingredients in their Zarape bowl I was still having the same bodily response after. This place has been my first meal of the day sometimes thats how much I enjoyed them and still have a negative response after so its not something else Im eating thats causing it. But I hope the business sees this and takes this seriously! Please take care of this because undercooked meat is serious and is just a waste of materials and food. Ive experienced this with their shrimp tacos, zarape bowls, enchiladas, asada tacos. Flavor is good but please thoroughly cook your food before...

Since it keeps being "new oweners" then again and again... No one seems to keep it authentic. Ive lived nearby and it in my way to the hospital, ive lived here for 10 years.. And the quality and dedication has dropped even the way customer service is given...

At times especially at night the ladies cook and prepared it lacking essential ingredients, or clips being old, or just done sloopy.

This is not like when i first knew this place.. The horchata was actually freshly made from actual rice and not powder, fresh salsa and chips was always given, open 24hrs, anythin the custumer asked was met anythin relating to the menu, you needed more : oinions, tomatoes, cilantro,etc

It was abt keeping the client happy and satisfied. Not about givin small patches and chargin for more... For drink yeah but for simple things that are a custume to real traditional foods.... Hell no...

Like askin for a taco and just cus know it comes with 2 tortillas but u get 1 and they wanna charge for 2nd one...

They have lost how it is done. Thats why ive...

I went to this place yesterday thinking to try some new food , was craving a good Mexican food spot . Once I got there the lady was nice and helping me as I’ve never been there but once I got my burrito it was horrible . My potatoes were rock solid . They were so hard I couldn’t even bite into it like they weren’t cooked at all ! I was frustrated but I still was polite when I told her , they just remade my burrito after that without the potatoes . Then I ordered another one to- go & I don’t know if the cooks were mad that I brought back the first burrito since they were just starting at me giving me mean looks but once I got home to eat it it was another horrible burrito the meat was just pure fat . Not steak not carne asada . Just fat pieces like they gave me that on purpose . I was so disgusted I just threw it away . So upset I spent 25$ on food that was bad and I couldn’t even come back since I don’t...
