Can I just say how much I love El Zarape? From the house burrito with mole sauce to the veggie supreme burrito, and all fish tacos in between, if you're looking for an authentic, yummy, delightful place for awesome Mexican fare, look no further than El Zarape.
So, my boyfriend and I decided to check this place out last night. Very cramped lil shop. I'm all for cozy, but this was BAD. The semi-exposed small kitchen housed 4-5 sad lookin cooks, who in turn served some sad looking/tasting food. We ordered Fish tacos....which tasted like last months tilapia, and smelled even worse, Nachos Supreme...which consisted of nacho cheese from the can, and thigh pieces that, I swear, had been sitting under a heat lamp for several hours (apparently its possible to get dry thigh pieces..), and lastly the infamous house burrito..all I can say for that is DON'T DO IT. We waited about 20 minutes for our food. The food was served at room temperature...Room temperature nacho cheese from a can not so delicious...room temp fish tacos...not so delicious... Everything was disgusting. I wouldn't recommend this to my enemies, because less than an 30 min after we left I had the WORST stomach cramps, and spent the night over the toilet. It was the worst $25 we ever spent. I'm not one to nag. I'm a cook myself a a restaurant in Huntington Beach. But holy guacamole....I still feel sick this morning, and felt it my place to warn you all. Rotten Food.
I don't what this chick's problem is. El Zarape is awesome. Try the scallop or lobster tacos, superb. Actually that's all I've ever tried here, because they are so great. Great food, great value. You won't be disappointed (as long as you go with scallop or lobster tacos.
This is the best place in San Diego to get a chile relleno! I tried their beef tacos but not that satisfied. I recommend anyone to try their mexican food.
