Reviews for El Zarape Mexican Cantina in San Diego, CA
We ordered for pick up during a writer's retreat. Upon our arrival Fernando greeted us apologized for the wait and offered us a... free beverage of our choice. When our food was brought out Fernando checked everything except the taco sampler, which wassealed. Well the shared photo is what we found when we arrived back at the AirB&B. We ordered the street taco sampler with steak& chicken tacos. All we received in the box was some tortillas with chicken thrown on top. I was very disappointed, I calledand spoke to Fernando. Fernando offered to immediately make it right. Unfortunately, no one would drive as we all had aMargarita, an add-on to our take out. Fernando asked me to return the next day and he would make us a special plate with drinksto make up for the error. I fully believe Fernando would have made it right. Unfortunately, our schedule prevented us fromreturning the next day. Read more
I have to say I love this place. This month was my first time there, and I've already ate their food three times this month.... First time I went was for dinner. The decor is super cute. I had their michelada in a blender ! I'm not a beer person but it wasdelicious. We went again for brunch and I would recommend getting there early. We had a group of 5 get there at 10am. Super fastservice and eveything was good. We were there for a little bit and large parties everywhere. Poor waiter was overwhelmed withparties. They have all you can drink and all you can eat options for brunch which is awesome and reasonably priced. I hadunlimited margarita flights and they were delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

This place is a must, our server was amazing. Even when it got really busy, still managed to keep our cups full of alcohol,... coffee, or water. Food was great, almost close to home. They do have a special of endless brunch and mimosas or micheladaflighta for less than 53$. Definitely coming back!! Read more
Great happy hour menu!! The margaritas and tacos is so good. The fondue was a hard block of cheese which we didn't like. ... Customer service is excellent!! We would definitely be back again! Read more
Delicious food and good service! Food tasted fresh and unique in its flavors and presentation (I got a poblano stuffed enchilada... & chicken enchilada). I really enjoyed sitting outside, it was pleasant, calm and the tables were well spaced out. I also triedthe margarita flight which was also a great experience, flavors were yummy! Read more

With my husband, we went out for dinner at El Zarape today. I had 3 tacos Birria, pork belly and carne asada. Pork belly was so... delicious! Fatty and flavorful. We also ordered margarita flights. Pineapple and strawberry kinds were my favorite. I can't waitto go back for more! Read more
Food was ok. Had the shrimp cocktail which was good. Good size good taste and good prize. Wife didn't like the Mole poblano. ... The atmosphere was great. The outside eating area especially. They have a huge screen for sports. No parking near by. Had topark a couple of blocks away. Read more
