Reviews for El Zarape

As a local, I don't get to eat here often since it's a bit of a trek from home, but every visit has been memorable. The atmosphere captures the essence of traditional Mexican dining, and the servers genuinely care about making your experience enjoyable. The food is fresh and flavorful, especially the special quesadillas, making it a must-try if you're in the El Centro or Calexico area.

I am a local resident who doesn't frequent this restaurant often due to its distance from my home, but every time I dine there, it's always a fantastic experience. The service, though occasionally slow, is consistently excellent with servers who genuinely care about their customers. The cozy restaurant exudes a traditional Mexican/Hispanic ambiance, making diners feel right at home with some of the best food in the valley, especially their mouthwatering special quesadillas.

Owner was very rude. Couldn't get a refill of ice tea. Salsa way too hot. Food repeats itself. Super super expensive.

Scheduled hours for business is confusing. One online page states "Open at 7:00am", yet another states "Open at 9:00 am". Even after 9:00 am, no one answers. What a shame because it's great food when you can get it.

After waiting 40 minutes, my to go food order was served COLD and unedible. The rice had been sitting so long it came out of the container in a single clump. The cheese in the special quesadilla had already set. Just a bad experience all around. I literally threw $20.46 out the window.
