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.

Visited Baton Rouge for one night. Wanted Mexican. Found Zapata's by accident. I was a party of one. I did feel a llittle forgotten at first (my water glass needed refilling but the server was nowhere to be found). The service got better. The chips were fresh and crispy. The salsa was tasty. I ordered two meat enchiladas with rice and steamed veggies. The beef enchiladas were delicious as was the rice. The veggies could have been steamed a little longer. All in all, I had a pretty good Mexican meal.

Zapatas is not bad, but I simply did not find it good. The salsa had almost no flavor, and the fajitas were about the The blandest I have ever had. Plus they nickle and dime you. We added cheese to our fajitas for $2 extra. We needed more tortillas for the fajitas, and that was for an additional $1.25.

Never had a problem with the food or service here. Friendly authentic and fun place.

REVIEW UPDATE: I initially gave this place 4 stars, shortly after they opened. We used to come here fairly regularly. However, they've changed the menu: Far fewer choices, more expensive, and the food isn't as good as it used to be. Not sure if there was a change of ownership or management or what. This place used to be a good deal, but it's not really worth it now.

What happened to the food here? This used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant in Baton Rouge. The all of a sudden, not so much. It seems they fell in love with liquid cheese. We asked them what had happened and they kept telling us they they had a new chef. I say get rid of the new chef. Who wants quesadillas covered in wet melted "nacho" cheese? When we requested for them to leave off the nacho cheese they then gave us chicken folded into a tortilla with no cheese whatsoever. UUGGHHH! Positives: The Texan fajitas are really good and the bean dip you get when you arrive is delicious. Good entertainment and like someone else stated, the Mariachis are off the HOOK!!! The Cuban band they have playing every once in a while will get you to start tapping your feet and wishing for a dance floor. Please quite covering everything in wet nasty cheese and we will be back. I miss my favorite Mexican restaurant.

i happend to go with my sister to baton rouge today and decided to eat mexican food and found this ! front door was unatended but someone came quick to sit us! we ordered fajitas they were really good the meat was very tender and lots of vegis like i like it !! queso dip was not so great i was disappointed. LIVE MARIACHIS OMG I have not seen it in a long time they were great. Waitress never introduced herself and after she got us the food she disapeard , never came back to see if we liked it or what , manager ended up taking care of us he was very nice "Salvador" , he appologized and gave us some VIP discount cards, i will be back!

I'm a bit mystified by all of the good reviews for this place. It's not the worst Tex-Mex I've had, but it certainly wasn't very good. They do have a ridiculously large and expansive menu. I had the burrito asada which was okay. I also tried a bite of a beef enchilada and a taco. The burrito was the best of the three by far, but that isn't really saying much. The only real pluses I can give to this place is that they give you large portions and the food is cheap. Apparently they also have Mariachis if you are into that sort of thing.
(2)Carlos L.
Slightly above average Americanized tex-mex/mexican...probably due to the proximity to Texas...but hey! it's not bad at all and there's plenty of tables, service is quick. Do ask for their house-made green hot sauce, it's great! Margaritas are pretty good as well. I danced a little on the way out to some Dominican music.
(3)Mark B.
He place is not busy for 7 on Tuesday night. Lighting at the bar is bad. Florescent light on. Asked for skinny margarita . They had no idea of what I was saying. Then said taqula with fresh lime juice and aug ace nectar. Still no idea z The bean did was good. Had flan and it was ok. Miss my drink. Not worth the trouble to go back.
(2)Scott R.
Was not good. Won't be back here.

My wife is from Mexico City, she and I agreed this was not a good experience. One of the two orders were wrong, the other was just horrible...will not return.

I keep forget to check in when i come here!! Ill remember from now on... I dont understand the negative comments on the wait staff or the food. We absolutely LOVE this place! My husband and I get 1 "cheat meal" a week and we come here every time. We love the food, the drinks, and the sweet, sometimes shy waiters. The food portions are perfect and I'm a big eater, yet I always manage to bring some home. I adore the shredded chicken enchiladas verde...yum! And let me tell you, they do not skimp on the pollo! There are many mexican restaurants in BR, like alot, and I understand it may be difficult to make a pick, but I have never been dissatisfied or still hungry after eating here.
(4)Keith M.
Very inconsistent, spotty service levels from fair to poor, every trip in they charge different prices for margaritas and the last straw was the $43 for TWO margaritas and not allowing us to rerun our check to use their discount card for a whopping 10%. Pretty expensive and with all the hassles named above took it off our list of places to dine here in BR. A shame because some of their food was actually pretty good.

Good food here. Pretty fresh ingredients overall. Beans and rice are good also. I had the fish tacos which were good with a spicy sauce on the side. Just wish it wasn't tilapia - not my favorite fish. Nacho plates are also good. The bean dip is also pretty good. The service is ok. Nothing amazing, but solid. Overall cleanliness is also good, including the restrooms. Only negative part of the dining experience was the mariachi music playing nonstop through our meal. It gets annoying after the first thirty minutes...
(4)Jesse Y.
Soooooo good. Get the big fajita bowl thingy! Best food I've ever had at a Mexican joint. Mmm
(5)Lori P.
Three stars for the Mariachi band and ENORMOUS Margaritas. One star for the ceviche. I'll be back!
(4)Job E.
I had the burrito and enchilada lunch special. The burrito was barely a burrito. It was only ground beef wrapped in a tortilla. The enchilada was simply shredded chicken in a smaller tortilla. No rice, no beans, no salsa.

Zapata's has reasonable priced, decent Mexican food for lunch. On one of my many journeys between Baton Rouge and New Orleans I had a dilemma. I didn't really have time for lunch, but was a tad hungry after working all day. I planned on driving back when the traffic gods decided to close the interstate for a while. That was my sign to take the next exit and eat at the first place that pops up. Since the first place was Chucky Cheese I decided to consult Yelp and Zapata's popped up. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the "most interesting man in the world: life-sized cardboard cutout. Had I not been working I would have surely taken a photo with that thing. Once seated they brought out chips, salsa and refried beans. I am a huge fan of the beans and chips trend so I was pleased. For my entree I ordered the chicken enchiladas. While they weren't amazing, for the $7-8 it cost, I think they did a god job. If I am in the area again, I would be willing to try some more items. I would also take that photo with the Dos Equis guy. If you're in BR and want decent, cheap Mexican food, check this place out.

Tonight I ordered the Shrimp Chimichangas. The food was dry, somewhat bland in flavor and it felt like they had ran out of queso and I got the rest of what they had made for the evening which was a few drops. on top of my chimichangas. The food items were accurate, but when I called I specified that I wanted queso on top of my chimichanga and it was mostly hard dry burrito with trace signs of queso which made it taste very bland. I would've also appreciated extra salsa, which I thought I had received two containers of but they only gave me one which was not even enough to eat with 1/3 of the chips they give you. The order took longer than quoted to prepare. When I arrived they were still getting my bill together. They offered to give me chips and salsa, which I appreciated, but the salsa's lid was not put on appropriately and ended up spilling all over the inside of my bag. They also provided no utensils or napkins and I have none in my hotel room. The meal was around $20 with tip and after all of the before-mentioned issues, too many stones were left unturned for me to be able to declare this a value in terms of the service and food I received for the dollar.
(1)Bridgette D.
Atmosphere is perfect with a "Mexican band" but the service from wait staff is extremely slow and inattentive to request. We waited a 10 -15 minutes to get chips and salsa and to have drink orders taken. The Restuarant was not busy. Food was nothing special and some food was served barely warm. Getting refills on drinks was difficult.
(2)Brian R.
I am changing my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars. I am tempted to go down to 2 but I am hoping my most recent experiences have just been a hiccup and they will get back to normal. There is apparently a new owner and it is very obvious. The food is not of the same quality and has been cold and over salted lately. My friend had a coupon good through Jan 2015 and they refused to accept it and instead offered us 10% off which was not nearly as good of a deal and we already had the VIP card to begin with. We used to go once a week but I'm not sure when we will return again. It is too bad because this place was great but someone is running it into the ground! It is always empty now, I can't see it staying open for much longer.
(3)Nelson R.
Mariachis are off the hook!!!! The only Mexican restaurant in Baton Rouge with Mariachis. Great atmosphere and staff is very ftiendly. I ordered the dinner for two which came with sizzling steak, chicken, chorizo and shrimp. And you can never go wrong with the 2 for 1 magaritas!!!! I highly recommend Zapatas!!!!
(5)Jake S.
Decided to go here because Ninfas was full and had a line out the door on a Saturday night. Also was convenient because the hotel I was staying at was in the same area. What a mistake! It was slow from the moment we entered the place. We had to wait longer than reasonable to be seated even though the place was nearly empty. The service by our waitress was no better. A second basket of chips (we were 4 people) arrived after the main course. The food was not high quality. In short, this place is not going to be on my list of Baton Rouge restaurants when I come here on business.
(1)David F.
This is some of the freshest Mexican food we have ever had. We have had the steak nachos, the fajitas, fish tacos, various combination plates... all fantastic!!! And even when they are busy, the service is still good (or better).
(5)Gabi V.
Just got home from dinner at Zapata's and Wow! Everything from start to finish was great. The chips were crunchy not greasy and the salsa was flavorful with enough bite to make matter. I went with a group of friends and we all got something different and really enjoyed it! My friend who got the vegetarian fajitas said they were some of the best she'd ever had and my boyfriend's carne asada enchiladas were awesome. I stole some carne asada from him and was completely in love. I've been to taco stands from California to Texas and without a doubt that was the best carne asada I've ever had. I got a chicken chimichanga which was to die for. The tortilla was nice and fried but still had great tortilla flavor and the chicken itself was perfectly marinated. The rice and beans that came with my meal were also pretty kick ass. Desert was the cheesecake chimichanga and it was incredible. Everything was reasonably priced and the restaurant decor was really cool as well. If you're in the mood for awesome Mexican food in Baton Rouge I would totally recommend this place to anyone.

Mediocre at best. This is your typical strip mall Mexican joint. We ordered cheese dip, yes it's listed as cheese dip on the menu, we then had spinach quesadillas and shrimp fajitas as our entree items. The "cheese dip" was bland and came out of a can/bag I expect. The spinach quesadillas was just a lump of chopped/frozen spinach mixed with pico and cheese (no seasoning at all). Our fajitas were great and are the only reason I'm not giving this place a 1 star review. Service was slow but not the slowest.
(2)Lisa J.
Standard-issue Tex-Mex. Better than some places in BTR (Las Palmas, Ninfas) but not as good as a traditional Mexican place like La Tiendita. The prices were a bit high for the quality of the food, but the portion sizes were big enough to make up for it. The wait staff was friendly and the chef sent us each a bowl of soup on the house. We were in and out quickly at lunch in spite of being there with 6 people. Zapata will definitely stay on the lunch rotation.
(3)Christina V.
Husband and I had their fajitas and must admit some of the best we have had in Louisiana! Will return in the future and reorder :)
(4)Michael F.
We have dined here several times. The food is really good and the service is always exceptional! We have a 16 month old child and the staff are always friendly to him and cater to his needs without complaint. Infact they always make a fuss over him which he eats right up! The staff are always surprised when he ears chips and guacamole! Not to mention the gigantic margarita with an upside down corona...OMG! My wife and I are never disappointed. Thank you Zapatas for providing such terrific food and service.

Amazing Waiter, Amazing Food.. Make sure you ask about the freshly made habanero salsa.
(5)David T.
My family and I really like Zapata's. The restaurant has a very friendly atmosphere with good food and friendly service. This is clearly Tex-Mex, but done with an authentic flare. I had the enchiladas, my wife had the fajitas and my daughter had quesadillas. My son had the quesohambergeso (hamburger) and it was also good. Good selection of cervesa and delicious margaritas. The location is close to my home and it is convenient, just off of I-10 at Siegen Lane. It is a regular stop on our dining card for casual fare.

Great service for lunch! Very fast!
