Reviews for Zapata's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina in Fairview Heights, IL

Had a good time with family with good food and service! Thank you!

Dishes were pretty good, a little more pricey than other Mexican restaurants

Service was good but the food was not that great at all. Rice tasted like it came from a frozen bag and the chips were stale.... Margarita was not good at all.Not coming back. Read more

Great place to grab Mexican fare! Try the street tacos! Yum! The Collinsville location is closer to me, but I have dined at... this Fairview location multiple times as well. The food is always hot and delicious and the service is always warm and friendlytoo! This place is a favorite that doesn't disappoint so I highly recommend! Read more

My sisters and I are regulars here and we absolutely LOVE this place. Good food, great drinks, and stellar service. Javier (our... usual waiter) does an amazing job even when the restaurant is ridiculously understaffed. Read more

great food and service on a relaxed patio mid week. wish i knew my waitress's name cause she's doing an amazing Job!

The staff was friendly and we were seated right away. Our server was fantastic. Being new to the area and never have been here... before we asked for suggestions on what to order . He said the Baja chimichanga was on special and it was one of his favorites.So my fiance and I both ordered that. It was really good. A little spicy for my liking but still great. I also ordered themedium margarita which was also on special for $8 and it was also great. There was a man singing live music on the other side ofthe restaurant by the bar which was cool. The only negative thing I can think of was the group at the bar, which was on theopposite side of the restaurant where we were seated, were extremely loud and rowdy. Their noise echoed throughout therestaurant. I will definitely be returning, it was a great experience. Read more
