years ago it was great. and then it was'nt for a while. then it got better. now it is bad again. Used to love the steak fajitas. the ones we had tonight did not even resemble steak fajitas. no peppers and onions. just mushy steak and some kind of gravy like sauce. bland. no fun to eat.

We have been to Zapatas previously at their first location and this one. One of their finer dishes is the crepes poblano. The crepes this time were drowning in the sauce. It was ok tasting but totally unappetizing. None of us finished our dinners and the prices have gone way up. Don't think we will return

Like the food. Your waitstaff just does not get it. No warm welcome when you enter. No thank you. You miss sense of warmth. Your waiters are flippant. If I owned your place I would focus on the manager walking around and actually talking to the guests. All in all you have great food and your waitstaff is cold and there is no presence of management. I predict you will go under because of the above. Get rid of your waitstaff and put in a manager that is warm, who cares and who trains your staff to do more than take an order and lay down plates. I am giving you this feedback because I care and hope you get it.

The only negative was when Zapata Management was notified of our use of the Restaurant.com gift card - they didn't seem too pleased and while they honored it, it did make our table feel a bit awkward/guilty for using a $25 off gift card/coupon. Also, the lunch experience wasn't super-fast - although well worth the wait, I wouldn't visit Zapata if I was on a tight schedule.
