Absolutely a must visit and repeat visit if you live here! Everything was amazing. Our waiter was so friendly and everything is freshly made. Good portions, exciting menu, and great happy hour selection. We didn’t get a picture of our food lol we were too busy eating. Outside/inside seating and decorated beautifully. Support, support, support they deserve the business!

I came (first time) with my best friend who was visiting from Texas and we were so impressed with the flavors of their food. Both of us with Mexican backgrounds and grew up in south Texas, we know Mexican food and Zarape surpassed our expectations. I've been living in LA for 10 years and have had the hardest time finding a REALLY good Mexican restaurant until now. The food and service here A. Try their chilaquiles and cafe de olla, you will not be disappointed.

William was the best bartender ever – amazing service! Would recommend the Molcajete taco bar; it’s a feast and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back!

Nice place to meet up with friends, they do get busy so I'd recommend reservations. The food was on point with great flavor and service was excellent even with how busy it was. They have a great bar with amazing selection of tequila to choice from. The bar does have seating if you like seating at it. I would recommend getting there early as parking does get tight.

The best of the best! Don't walk, run to this place! I will literally fly back to Los Angeles from Texas just to eat here. The chilaquiles were amazing. The bartender was top notch as well.

Zarape is a great addition to the neighborhood in a space that has seen a lot of turnover over the years. We got there in time for Happy Hour and we were definitely happy that we did. Great drink specials and a nice assortment of small plates to share. We made 3 selections from the Happy Hour menu and all of them were delicious. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We will be coming back for sure.

Really cute spot for drinks and yummy Mexican food. The atmosphere is really nice especially the outdoor seating. Service is a little slow but the drinks make up for it
