Zapata's Mexican Restaurant is a true gem in the Ballantyne area! 🌟 The atmosphere is cozy and trendy, perfect for family outings or solo dining.

I tried the Cadillac Margarita - it was delightful! 🍹 For the main course, the vegetable chimichanga was hands down the best I've ever tasted, paired with their homemade salsa that I could eat for days! Service was quick and incredibly friendly. The vibrant decor adds to the experience, making it a must-visit for authentic Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend trying their dessert too! Can’t wait to return! 😍
