Zapata's - Fairview Heights

My husband and I eat here every week - sometimes twice a week and absolutely love the food and chips /salsa! The service is great! We eat something and find this restaurant to have the most friendly staff!! We have many family and friends parties and meet Zapatas in Fairview! Only yesterday evening we had a party of 14 and children and adults had an explosion! Love it! Recommend this Mexican restaurant!

We had a delicious meal. Chicken Chimmchanga. Whenever we're here.

Whenever we come back from St. Louis, we live about 2 hours from this place, we stop and eat here, great food, salsa, atmosphere all in all it is best

My sisters and I are regular guests here and we love this place. Good food, great drinks and stellar service. Javier (our ordinary waiter) does an amazing job, even if the restaurant is ridiculously understated.

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 the medium margarita which was also on special for $8 and it was also great. There was a man singing live music on the other side of the restaurant by the bar which was cool. The only negative thing I can think of was the group at the bar, which was on the opposite side of the restaurant where we were seated, were extremely loud and rowdy. Their noise echoed throughout the restaurant. I will definitely be returning, it was a great experience.
