$10 carafe of cocktails are brilliant but the tacos were overpriced and quite bland we thought. Nice quick service but not with a smile . It's a shame as the time I have dined in Zampatas in Fremantle it has been great food and service and atmosphere More

If the service had been okay, my review would be good food and reasonable. However, granted it was a busy Saturday night and I think they are way understaffed, but I got a bottle of water at my table but never a glass. My meal came without any silverware.

Zapatas is located in a great section of Northbridge, easily within walking distance from the Perth CBD. The food, while not spectacular, was pleasant. The syle of food would not be classified as Mexican, per se, but more of a Tex Mex. Portions were a little small but it's hard to beat some of the deals that they have. I.e.... More

If you want traditional mexican this isn't the place. We ordered teh trio of dips to start (just standard food service dips with cornchips straight from the supermarket). The burrito for mains was stodgy however the spiciness was spot on as requested. service was slow and haphazard. The first waiter said I couldn't have lime with my beer only lemon,... More

Zapatas is the best mexican in the cbd, and same goes for their other restaurant in fremantle. Great selection of international cervesa and cheap cocktails for the ladies. We all had enchiladas, guacamole dips and shared some nachos and everything was top not, large portions and came out very quickly. The girl who served us was knowledgeable and friendly. Will... More
