Zapata Mexican Cuisine - The real thing!

If you're looking for a change of taste when it comes to Mexican food you need to try Zapata Mexican Cuisine in Norcross, GA. This is not your typical Mexican food joint where you can order a #11 off the "combination" menu and get the same thing. This is real, fresh Mexican food made from regional recipes from around Mexico.

They offer a warm and friendly dining atmosphere for all ages. They also have a large selection of tequilas to choose from. Have one of the bartenders make a "sangrita" for you and experience a drink you've never had before.

I tried a unique dish called "Molcajete Azteca" that is served in a hot stone pot and comes with sizzling chicken, tomatillo sauce, onions, and cactus (which I've never had before and quite enjoyed).

If you come on a Friday or Saturday night a gentleman plays the guitar and sings, and is quite entertaining.

They are currently offering a coupon on our site for buy one get one free diners.
