What FoodEater doesn't like about Zapata's Mexican Restaurant:
Unfortunately when we arrived they did not seem to have our reservation. no matter, we were still seated promptly. This may be an issue with opentable than Zapatas. The food portion size was very large! However the flavor was lacking. i.e. not much taste. View all feedback. What Larry Boyle likes about Zapata's Mexican Restaurant:
My favorite Mexican restaurant in Adelaide, the portions are always generous and very tasty. They do excellent nachos and the full portion with the lot can feed two people easily. The staff is friendly and service is fast. Your Mexican soft drinks are also a treat. View all feedback.

Zapatas in North Adelaide offers a mixed dining experience, with some patrons expressing disappointment in both the food and service, while others rave about the authentic flavors and friendly staff. Some guests were unimpressed with the lackluster greeting from wait staff and the quality of the dishes. On the other hand, those who enjoyed their meals highlighted the delicious food, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphere. Margaritas are a hit among customers, and overall, Zapatas seems to cater to a varied range of tastes.
