“ Zarape had swiftly become a go to place to eat for some excellent food. I truly enjoyed the taste of the food it is very authentic and has a very Latin flavor. If your looking for excellent Latin food I suggest you go. I have eaten the Mojarra Frita and the Caldo de Res and 7 Mares soups. All three of these have been made well. They have many other choices and to be honest I will go back to try them. They also have a lunch deal with several items to choose from if you dine in to try a variety of meals made for one to create a plate of different items. They also have staple choices on the menu and based on what I have eaten thus far I assure you that eating food from Zarape is no waste of time because the food is excellent. The prices reasonable and the meal is very flavorful. Check Zarape out I don't think you will be disappointed. ”
