Walking into El Zarape is like stepping into a flavorful fiesta—where every dish on the menu has a story, a kick, and a whole lot of heart. As someone constantly on the hunt for standout plates, this place hit me with a full-on flavor explosion.
The steak options are simply mouthwatering. From the bold and spicy Bistec Picado en Salsa Verde to the rich, grilled goodness of Bistec Y Camarones, each cut is tender and seared just right. The Bistec a la Tampiqueña? A must-try—it’s a full-on feast on a single plate.
For a lighter bite, the salads bring their A-game. The Seafood Salad is ocean-fresh and zesty, while the Fajita Taco Salad brings together crisp greens with sizzling meat for a perfect balance.
Start off with the Chicken Quesadilla Grande—gooey, golden, and generously filled—or go bold with fiery Stuffed Jalapeños. If you're craving comfort, the Caldo de Camarón soup is warm, spicy, and swimming with shrimp.
Chicken lovers will find their paradise with dishes like the creamy Pollo a la Crema or the cheesy, chorizo-laced Chori Pollo. Each bite feels like a home-cooked embrace.
The Especialidades de la Casa like Alambres and Three Amigos pack flavor and creativity in every sizzling forkful. And don’t even get me started on the Fried Shrimp Chimichangas—crispy, golden perfection.
Vegetarians have their moment too, with sizzling Veggie Fajitas and the cheesy, layered Sincronizada.
For full-on Mexican dinners, the Camarones a la Diabla brings heat lovers to heaven, while Crab Quesadillas offer a sweet, buttery seafood twist.
El Zarape isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a journey through Mexico’s greatest hits, one dish at a time.
