Zapata’s Mexican Grill

Was really looking for wan to Mexican food. Nice people good service but the hair in my queso really turned me off.

The food was good the service sucked i never got my green sauce. Had to ask 5 times for tortillas. The cheese sause could be hotter in temperature wise. But like i said the food was good

The people in this restaurant just could not be nicer. The food and service is great. I am giving them 2 stars for their margaritas. I purchased two of these margaritas and I believe there is so little tequila in them that they might qualify as virgin margaritas. Two sixteen oz margaritas should give a person a pretty good feeling… nothing. Go for the great food and skip the margaritas.

I am in OKC for the first time for a horse show. I used Unilocal to find this little place right around the corner from my hotel. I really wanted a margarita and some chicken fajitas. I didn’t want a national chain restaurant, but something local. Score! When you walk in the door and Latinos are eating there, it’s a good sign. Very friendly and attentive service and fresh and tasty food. Oh, and I got my margarita too. I live in Houston, so I know my Mexican food and this place has the right stuff.

Always a good meal and friendly service here at Zapatas. It’s remarkable how quickly they bring out your food after you order. Highly recommend this place. If your in OKC, come in for some great Mexican food. They are right across the street from Taco Bell…

This place is LEGIT. Came for lunch and my gawd it was delicious.
We started with the obligatory chips, salsa and queso… surprisingly not bland. The salsa was fresh and light, just the right amount of citrus — very well-​balanced. Queso was good, lighter than what you usually get at other local Mexican restaurants. Chips were decent and lightly salted, a good start overall.
I had iced tea, and the familiar taste of Cain’s hit me, so not bad. My friend (celebrating his birthday) had his usual Tecate and from what I could tell, he rather enjoyed it.
*Side note: The staff, while attentive to our needs, allowed us to visit and dine in relative peace. They always came at the right time.
I had the fajita nachos and whoooweee they was so good! Lemme tell ya, they «got a good scald» on those nachos — just the right combination of ingredients to make you keep eating. I almost couldn’t stop! The guacamole (amazing) and sour cream were served on the side so I could control the right amount for each bite. Hey, I like to eat!
I had a few preconceived notions because this place is on the Meridian corridor and just, hotels, fast food and bars… you know what I mean. While we were there, all walks of life came in to dine, but most notably other Mexicans were eating there; I saw that and thought it has to be decent if Mexicans eat there as well. Obviously, I was right to think so.
Will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu… won’t you join me?

This is a great place for some authentic Mexican Lunch. I’ve had their tostadas, they’re fresh and filling. Def. give this place a try!

Very authentic! Love the food. We got seated right away and the service was great. Can’t wait to go bck.

Simply said, this is my wife’s new favorite Mexican food stop and she doesnt even have to beg me to come here for food! The hot sauce, not the regular salsa, is amazing. It tastes like it is made from fresh fire roasted peppers. The enchiladas were filled with shredded melty cheese and covered with a wonderful sour cream sauce.
The chips and tortillas tasted like they were made fresh and I would be amazed if they were not. The beef used in the dishes that is fajita style is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.
We have been back multiple times now and the service is consistently excellent and the food is always amazing. We have not had a dish less than excellent yet.

When you go to this resturant, make sure you are hungry because meals are large. We had just driving six hours and I still couldn’t finish my meal.
We were great ed by a friendly hostess .
Our server was friendly and helpful.
I had the Zapata Plate which consists of steak, breaded fish, six shrimp, rice, beans, guacamole and pico De galllo. I have posted a picture of this meal.
I also had one of the best margaritas that I have ever had.
We will be eating here on our next trip.
