Zapata Mexican Restaraunt - Palisades

Loved the authentic atmosphere I had beef burritos with refried beans and yellow rice. It was good. I thought it would be. With ground beef the shredded beef was a little tuff. We were with another couple so we had a good time. Food was nice and fresh,overall we all enjoyed our meal. Love the decor Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We've gone here a few times. Every time, except the last, we seem to hit a not busy time. The food is delicious. The service is typically pretty good. We have wondered why it isn't more busy. This last time it was busy and we learned a valuable lesson. We will never go in again if the parking lot is busy. The huge problem was the noise level. There is nothing in the decor to absorb sound so it echoes around the restaurant. It was so, so loud!! Due to the noise level, everyone was yelling to each other and to have any kind of conversation you really had to yell. It just got to be so much that we gave up on having a conversation and really just wanted to get out of there. We cut dinner short and that's when the slow service was frustrating because we really just wanted to get out of there asap. We've NEVER had this happen before. Just totally overwhelmed by the noise volume. After we got outside we were both feeling bad for the staff and wondering how they tolerate and cope with the volume of noise for hours when it's like this without being able to escape.
