We loved stopping at El Mexicano zapata, it happened to be salsa night and the atmosphere was great! It’s a family owned business, the team were fab and the food was delicious! Wish we could have them in the UK.
If you like spicy things, their spicy margs are fab! If you’re veggie - there’s loads of
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Superb experience all around. Warm welcome by the owner. Amazing food. The Best enchilada I ever sunk my teeth into. Sangria better then in Spain! And to top it all off amazing entertainment. If you come to Rotorua and not visit this place for a bite to eat you will be making big mi
Good atmosphere, great services, excellent food. The nachos was surprisingly packed with flavours, the tacos was fresh and tasty, the quesadilla is savoury and delicious. Nice size portions too.
