    This is one of two Tex/Mex places I wouldn't be embarrassed to invite someone to. The other being Mi Tierra. Most of the times I've been in there, the food has been consistently good and affordably priced. I loved the seafood enchilada. It's the shining star of Zapatas menu, but their specialty dishes don't quite have the kick that Mi Tierras do. The real reason for the three stars is their service. Mediocre at best. It can be frustrating to try to flag down wait staff, and if you have a problem, I've actually had trouble on a couple of occasions getting someone that could speak fluent english.

    Zapata's is a good, not great, tex-mex restaurant that operates as a local chain of three in the Florence SC area. Zapata's features a fairly in-depth menu of many of the dishes you'll find at such places across the Southeast United States. The interior is split into two sections, the restaurant, and their arcade, with a bar in between them. Once you are seated, expect chips and salsa much like any other tex-mex joint. On a recent visit for dinner at 4:30pm, the chips came out lukewarm with two salsas. Both are red, and are lacking any texture or finesse. You'll find no cilantro or onions, and only a slight hint of garlic. One of the salsas is spicier with jalapeño seeds, but still lacks substantial flavor. Contrary to other reviews, we had no issues with the waitstaff service. Once we ordered, the food arrived very quickly, and drinks were constantly refilled. For vegetarians, Zapata's fortunately offers a full vegetarian menu with mushroom and spinach quesadillas, the taco loco salad found at many tex-mex restaurants, chiles poblanos, fajitas, and many different combination plates. I sampled both the mushroom quesadillas and the chiles poblanos. The Quesadillas arrived on a plate with a guacamole salads in a mini tortilla shell, which was a nice touch. However, the tortillas themselves tasted like they had been cooked in very old oil at a much too high temperature. The outside of each tortilla was slightly overcooked with a bitter oil taste. The chiles poblanos, accompanied by sour cream and a special sauce, held an unappetizing bitter, sour taste. The overall taste was quite the opposite of what I was expecting from the dish. If you are in the Florence area and in desperate need of tex-mex, Zapatas offers a familiar, middle of the road, but entirely uninspired experience. Stick with the basics and you should be fine.

    Food is good. When you go to pay for your food they just ring you up, take your money, and hand you a receipt. They don't look at you, speak to you, or tell you goodbye. Poor customer service.

    This is some of the best Mexican food around. The prices are good and the beer is cold. Service is a B+. The jalapeño skins are the bomb. This place rocks they even have a side for kid bday parties.

    after 15mins of waiting for the waitress to place a drink order, despite her walking past our table several times, we finally got our order in. unfortunately, when the food came it was quite disappointing. we complained that the 2 grilled chicken quesadillas were cold chicken. not luke warm, but actually cold as if it was precooked and refrigerated and they tried to reheat it unsuccessfully. she took it back to kitchen and brought us back the same plates same quesadillas saying that she had them but it back under the heat... they couldnt bother to make us fresh ones? i doubt ill be back.

    Me and my wife ate here last night for dinner. It was probably one of the worse dining experiences we've ever had. Immediately upon being seated, we asked for a booth so our daughter's car seat can slide in without needing a high chair. The booth we were seated at didn't have enough room to do so and was very wobbly. We asked for a larger booth. The hostess began asking another couple with a kid that were already eating if they could move. We tried several times to tell the hostess, "no" but she kept bothering the other couple instead. Finally, she sat us at a larger booth closer to the arcade. That worked fine. I ordered the bistec fundido which was supposed to cone with mashed potatoes. My wife ordered the nacho supreme. When we received our food, my steak was good, but what was on the plate was not mashed potatoes, but rather, what seemed to be a baked potato that was peeled and cut into 4 hard and unappealing chunks with nothing on them. My wife's food was very soupy instead of cheesy and became really soggy. After we ate what we could stomach, my wife had to go to the restroom and wait in line because it was a unisex bathroom in a meican restaurant with only one toilet! She changed our daughter's diaper without there being a counter or changing table available. Afterwards, we went into the arcade so our 3 yr old could play. We had to step over spilled tea that one of the clumsy waitresses left on the floor. Turns out, there's another unisex single toilet restroom in the arcade area also. When we entered the arcade, the sound volume of most of the games were almost deafening. Our son covered his ears the majority of the time we were in there. After wasting 50 cent per game compared to 25 at chuck e cheese we ended up with 151 tickets out of 6 dollars worth of quarters. A lot of the games were broken or out of tickets. Finally, there was a kid about 7 or 8 yrs old that they had sweeping the floors!!! The person handling the tickets also had him help with the ticket area!!! In other words, they employed CHILD LABOR!!!

    There are several Mexican restaurants in Florence with most being above average to good but in my opinion Zapatas is the best. It is locally owned and the owners give back to the community. It is also growing, having recently opened two new locations. Pros: Large selection with several house specialties, my favorites being seafood enchiladas, California casadia and the fajita burrito. Fast service, cheap beer and well packaged take out. Cons: no authentic Chile relleno's but don't waste your time looking anywhere else cause they are not to be found anywhere else in town either.

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.
