It's nice to find so many ethnic restaurants in St. John's. On a previous visit we discovered Zapata and were glad to find it again on this visit. The atmosphere is really comfortable and I must say they were playing really good music the day we were there.Food and service were both really good. Our server was new to Canada and she was clearly learning the language and the skills of serving quickly. She was lovely.Go... View all feedback.

This is restaurant used to be fantastic. It seems that things have unfortunately changed. A friend and I went for a meal and waited an extended period of time for service. Eventually I got up and got us menus. Then we waited a long time to be served, despite the fact that there were very few people in the restaurant. The servers seemed friendly enough when you stopped them but they didn't ask if we were ready to orde... View all feedback.
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Do not let yourself be thrown away from the front door (fixed steel door), once inside it is a very small and beautiful atmosphere. This has some options and games that are published online so you can look at when you are indecision. There were also free parking on the street on a super sloping hill.
The restaurant is located on a slopey street where cars are parked perpendicular to the sidewalk. It's a nice location. The decor gives a good mexican food. It's a small and cozy restaurant. However, I went on a Tuesday night and I was the only customer. There wasn't any music, but at least the waitress was very friendly and cute. The minute I sat down, I was greeted with warm nachos and homemade salsa. She suggested the fish taco and it was delicious! It was a big portion and I had a lot left to take away with me.
First of all, the place doesn't have a lot of tables, the tables in place are put too much near each other. The waiting time after ordering is a lot too. The dishes weren't hot, and not particularly tasty. I did see a lot of elderly people at this place, so maybe there are only few dishes that they make good. I wouldn't recommend this as I didn't have a good time here.
The experience was phenomenal!! I tried the fish tacos and they are the best in town by far. The service was also amazing. It was my friend's birthday and the server, Diego, came with the kitchen staff and sang Happy Birthday in Spanish. The service was really authentic. Totally recommended.
The service was excellent, very attentive from the beginning to the end. The free chips and salsa to begin were just right to set the taste buds in motion. The Appetizer Platter was fantastic with the House Dressing is a perfect pairing for any product with the Margaritas the best I had.
