Zapata


This unobtrusive Mexican grill in the middle of the Castro looks like any taqueria in town, small, colorful and nondescript, but don't let that fool you, the quesadillas, burritos, and tacos are more than the sum of their parts and there are many parts. The prices are competitive and provide good value. The service, is as good as you are because it's self serve; you decide, you order, you bus your tray to the table.

Burritos are generous in size and this particular order can be had for under $8. It's a prawn burrito, that is not always found in other establishments. Besides rice and beans there are many extras to choose from, so guacamole was added to this order. It made for a very satisfying lunch, with no need to order more to quell hunger pangs.


My co-conspiritor needed something lighter and decided on one of the many quesadillas  on offer. Like the burritos, you are able to add more ingredients to the quesadillas. Starting at $1 you may add guacamole, mushrooms or spinach. You may pay up to $3 extra for an item such as fish or grilled prawns. Guacamole was good enough, but the burrito was so good, grilled prawns would make an excellent choice.
