El Zarape Mexican Restaurant Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    I've been going to El Zarape for a long time. For better or for worse, within the 13 or so odd years I've been going to this Broad St. Mexican Delicatessen hasn't changed. I've had the same waiters for years, and the same Nachos Supreme for years. One thing has changed though in the past decade, I drink way more. $4.50 Pitchers of domestics and $1 PBR's everyday may be the best beer deal in town. Bottom Line, the foods not something to call home about but by the time you've spent 9 dollars.....It will be the best mexican food your ever tasted.

    So basically, this place taught me how to love Mexican food. I always get the loco rice a la Mexicana. Even before they put it on the menu. It's pretty much the best Mexican food I've had in the states. When I go to other restaurants (outside of Rome, because I always choose El Zap if I am in Rome) I always try to find something similar to the loco rice but it never comes close. I also love hanging at the bar with friends because its not overly crowded and its a nice cozy atmosphere. Tony makes the best "mother flower" drink! You must try it.

    I went with a work cohort of mine. I'm from NY and he is from NC. The place was large with plenty of seating. Chips and salsa were served immediately and the chips were very fresh. My cohort asked for another type of salsa and that was no problem. Beers were only 1 dollar drafts which I thought was unbelievable. Food section was large and delicious. Very happy and full. Prices were super cheap.

    Jerry T, you are out of your mind. Why on earth would anybody keep moving. I read this and believed her review until tonight. We ate here and LOVED it. Super authentic, amazingly fresh. Very good service. Can't find anything I didn't like about this place :)

    After a few disappointing trips to Las Palmas (hit and miss service and random charges for unordered drinks and side items) and realizing that it is impossible to get in and out of Mi Alazon in under 90 minutes, I decided to take my show on the road to El Zarape. EZ was my regular Mexican place back in my undergrad days. It's been a Broad St. staple for years. Here's the skinny on The Rope: * Service - among Mexican restaurants in Rome, I feel that El Zarape reigns supreme. The servers are attentive, friendly, and helpful. I've been there several times and so far, I have no complaints. The restaurant is family-owned, and you will see the same faces over and over. This is a great thing as the friendly owner will always come great you and sometimes treat you to a free dessert to make you smile. * Food - about average. I'm a fan of the Annette's Special, a burrito served with chicken or steak and chorizo, peppers, and mushrooms. Because this is the South, the entire thing is then covered in queso and served with rice and beans. Both the rice and beans taste like they came out of a bag and can respectively, so they lose some points there. The burrito, though, is yummy. The tortillas definitely aren't homemade, but if you want homemade Mexican in Rome you have to go to Mi Alazon and be prepared to spend all night trying to get your server's attention. I also recommend the chiles poblanos. You can ask for them to be stuffed with grilled chicken, and that really adds some good flavor to the dish. I tried to poblanos Jason (deep fried poblano peppers) and didn't like them - I just didn't care for whatever batter they used and that kinda ruined it for me. My friend, however, gets them every time, so I can't say conclusively that it's just a bad dish. Gotta mention the chips and salsa. They're boring. The chips are fine but the salsa is bland, and it's served in a large community bowl. This is something Las Palmas gets right by giving each diner their own small bowl. * Price - about in line with other Mexican restaurants. Dinner entrees range from $8-12 depending on what you want to get. They have cheap domestic beer specials, but if you're a snob like mio they don't really have specials on the good stuff. They do have a frequent customer card where every seventh (or is it eighth? Whatever, I'm too lazy to go check my purse) meal earns you a free cheese dip or drink. That's a nice bonus. All in all, it is not a perfect restaurant but it is very solid. If you're looking for reliable food in a friendly atmosphere that won't break the bank, try El Zarape. Just don't expect the food itself to completely blow you away.

    Great service and food. I had the Chicken Loco Rice to go and it was very good at a reasonable price - half orders are available for a lower price. My food was fresh, hot, and ready for pick up in less than five minutes. Chips & Salsa were not the best, but El Zarape may be the best Mexican Restaurant in Rome, Georgia!

    Food and service was excellent as usual. I always get the chicken loco rice which is delicious.. Tonight I also got a chicken taco and it was kind of dry but overall good food.

    Great food! I read the Yelp reviews before going and they were right. When I travel I like to go to different Mexican places and this one was awesome.

    If you are in downtown Rome I would keep moving. There are a ton of better dining options on Broad St. and there are actually a few decent Mexican places within a very short driving distance. It seems like people come here just for the drink specials, but good grief this place is dirty. Not like cool, hole-in-the-wall dirty. Just actually dirty.

    El Zarape is the former El Zorrito in Roswell. This a good standard TexMex place to go. It may not be the absolute best, but you will never be disappointed. The margarita's are good, large, and fairly priced. The tacquitos are about as good as I've had anywhere. My wife always gets the Talpeno Soup and thinks its the best she has had. Salsa with chips is always fresh and has just the right amount of kick to it. The staff is always friendly and attentive. We are not fond of the mariachi band they have some evenings, but that is just a personal preference. So, if you are in Roswell and just need to satisfy your TexMex urge, you will not be disappointed if you stop in at El Zarape

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
