Zapata's Mexican - Cody

Absolutely loved this place. Amazing food and the service from Mariah was incredible. I had the Texas Twinkies to start, followed by the shredded beef Chimichanga, then deep fried ice cream to finish. Others in my group had salad and burrito, and all was superb. The service by Mariah R was great, really welcoming and enjoyable conversation, despite being rushed off her feet. Definitely recommend visiting here ?

Wanting to skip another big franchise I stopped in for something different. Usually chili's relleno is a stuffed pepper filled with cheese and other stuff. This one was different mentioning omelet style. It's a pepper sandwiched in egg and smothered in cheese. A different surprise and the staff was very friendly.

Was a nice, clean mom and pop type establishment. Server was friendly and attentive. I ordered the steak fajitas, which were pretty average at best, and portions a tad small. I wouldn't run out to eat here again.

Stopped in for lunch, wanted to sit in the patio but it was reserved for a private party. Offered a booth and it was cozy and comfortable. Served free chips and salsa (first basket is free, but they charge for additional baskets). Chips were homemade, fresh and good. Salsa was also homemade, but a little on the sweet side. I had a taco salad with ground beef. It was very good and served with sour cream and guacamole in a tortilla bowl. My husband had a chicken burrito deluxe with corn and beans. The beans were awesome, the corn had onions in them which we didn’t care for, but that’s a personal preference, don’t remember seeing that in the menu description. He said his chicken was a bit dry, but good, next time he said he’d get the ground beef as he really liked the flavor it gave my salad. We asked for sour cream for our chips, but didn’t get it before the meal. Service was okay. The hostess was awesome, very friendly and welcoming. Our server seemed nervous and didn’t offer suggestions or conversation, but okay, just like more interaction. Overall a nice atmosphere, kind staff, clean, comfortable and great Mexican food with lots of flavor and freshness! Recommendation- Offer unlimited chips and salsa, the charge for additional chips is kind of weird. Nonetheless- Highly recommend.

I really wanted to enjoy this place. We stopped after a long day in Yellowstone, and it was one of the few restaurants open. The salsa was great, but they charged for refills; so we declined. This is blasemphy to a native Texan. ? Half our party loved their food while the other half was not impressed. I ordered the chicken fajita burrito. The chicken had a great flavor, but the bell peppers weren't even cooked, and they were in huge chunks. I didn't care for the beans or rice. I should have stuck with salsa and chips. The staff was nice and friendly.Parking: Street parking. I'm sure at times it can be difficult to find parking.
