I've talked about this place before. Its located in the strip mall on the west side of Busse & Green Leaf Ave. Basically next to the Portillo's and McDonalds.
This place is amazing. If I want a authentic Mexican lunch he always delivers. He's also right next door to Taco Bell, so unless I'm in a super hurry, or just have that craving for Taco Bell, Zapata's is it. The owner who runs the register almost all the time is always awesome and friendly.
Today I had the Enchilada's dinner. Had a mix of Shredded Chicken and Al Pastor. The shredded chicken was juicy and needed nothing, perfect mix of flavor. The Al Pastor which I hadn't tried there before but did on a whim today was awesomely spicy. Just the smell of it made my mouth water and my nose sniffle. He knows I like spicy and asked if I wanted it extra spicy. Unlike Chinese restaurants that ask if you want "Spicy" then deliver mild when ordered his Spicy was Spicy!
Prices are good for the taste of the food. Most lunches are about $9, and the dinners are like $12. But the food is so good, and the owner is so awesome. As an example. Today when I asked for an extra enchilada so I could have 2 of each kind, he gave me the 4th enchilada for free.
Why did I get an enchilada for free? "Because you've been coming here for years". No other reason. He usually gives me a free refill on the Horchata if I get that too, even if I offer to pay (and would, its only 25c).
I got the food To Go today because I was in a bit of a rush to finish some work stuff.
