Restaurant Zapata in Bad Bentheim

Food was great. However, it took about an hour until it was there. Ambiance is great. Staff friendly. A top restaurant in itself!

The dishes were nicely prepared and tasted delicious. Only the side salad (in itself a good mix and tasty) had an unpleasant side note in the dressing). Good service. Relatively expensive.

I live near the German border for almost 5 years. Had been countless times in Germany, from Westpalhia to Hamburg and München and never ever had a single Apfelstruddel in my whole life until today. The restaurant Zapata is a Mexican one but they have an advertisement in front of their terrace saying they sell “warm apfelstruddel”. So, I went in and I was kindly greeted by the waiter. I told her about my desire to try this deli with and I really liked it. It’s my first apfelstruddel, so I can’t claim I’m an expert in this desert. However, I can say it was really warm, has a characteristic dough and the cream above it tasted great. Each apfelstruddel cost 8.50€, while each Capucine cost 3.60€. Prices from October/2024.

It was wonderful to be here with the person in my life by my side, the flavor was very different.

Delicious food. Very friendly service and very helpful. A starter as a main course for our daughter was no problem. Add a little extra salad and potatoes and it's enough, super organized.

Delicious food, fast and professional service. The enchilada I ordered was the best I've ever eaten. The serving and portion size is very satisfactory. I highly recommend everyone to visit this place!

Friendly staff, but the food is definitely not Mexican. We ordered three types of enchiladas, one with chicken, one with vegetables and one with chili con carne. We got three tortillas with a strip of cheese and sauce on top with a mix of vegetables. If there was a difference between the three flavors, we didn't find it. They were also barely seasoned and certainly not recognizable as Mexican. Very unfortunate, we expected more given the good reviews.

Food phenomenal!! The third variant is right on target with additions. World class seasoned ribs... Very polite and polite service. The prices are very adequate to the quality of the food, it's really worth it. One of the best restaurants I have been to, I recommend it to everyone!

On Saturday evening we came to dinner with a group of eight adults and three small children. Given the group size, we made reservations well in advance and received confirmation of the same. However, when we arrived, we were the only guests seated outside in a backyard garden because we couldn't sit together inside. However, there was space inside for another group. Since it gets cold quickly in September, we weren't happy about that. We also didn't feel like we were really part of the restaurant. By the way, the view there was beautiful. Finally, after eating a few small tapas and seeing another group leave, we were finally able to go inside after about 1.5 hours. Even though we had been there for a while, we still had to wait an hour inside for the main courses to be served. We were inside at 6:30 p.m. and had our food around 9 p.m. One of our three small children had already fallen asleep on the couch. Some others had also lost their appetite. It really dampened the mood. The food was otherwise tasteful, but not special. Fries and nuggets for the children were nice and crispy. What's most annoying is that the waitress didn't seem to care. No apology or small gesture. It didn't show that you yourself had the feeling that things weren't going quite smoothly. There were hardly any other guests in the restaurant, which made it even stranger that we had to wait so long for our food and not hear anything during it. When we asked a question, all they said was that something had happened to them.

Very good tasty food. Mexican spicy....simply delicious...Very good and attentive service. We are always happy to come back. The SUSANNE CAMPERS

Good food, pleasant atmosphere! Top!

It is very comfortably furnished and the food was great.

Very, very tasty, nice atmosphere and the staff was also super nice. We'd love to come back.

I only ate coffee with apple strudel. Was good👍

Very tasty food in a nice atmosphere. The vegetarian dishes are highly recommended

Had a delicious meal at Zapata restaurant. The (vegetarian) burrito was well filled and super tasty! Friendly staff and also very nice to sit (inside and outside). A place to come back to!

The food was extremely tasty and everything was freshly prepared. What was particularly impressive was that our food was served very quickly despite our group of 9 people. The service was also very friendly and accommodating. We'd love to come back! :)

Chilli con carne burrito absolutely recommended 👌🏼 The side salad is super crunchy and fresh.. We often order for pickup and even then the quality is always great! Always happy ☺️

we had enchiladas combinadas and burrito zapata. The fillings were well seasoned. The potato wedges are not wobbly and the sour cream is portioned in large enough portions. However, the dip costs extra. The food came quickly, but there were only a few guests there in the early evening. The service was attentive and reservedly friendly. However, the prices are quite high. We actually wanted to eat there the day before and made a reservation online. However, when we arrived the restaurant was closed. There was a note in the window saying it would be open again tomorrow. Annoying that you could still book online.

Great food, served with chilli flakes, so if that's your thing, please go. Serving size is great, side dishes fit well with the main dish.

Great restaurant, delicious food - not as spicy as expected, which is probably due to previous reviews. Very friendly service, nice atmosphere!

Very tasty food, enchiladas with chicken

Very tasty Zapata Variation 2 and high quality food.

Very tasty cocktail Pina colada

Nice meal. Good portions, certainly not too little. Waitress was friendly.

Really enjoyed the food here and the server was very nice and friendly. Ordered the Zapata Plata which had enchilada, spare ribs and chicken wings and they were all very good 💯

Super delicious food and service is very friendly!

Ate here with colleagues, but unfortunately not really Mexican! Service is okay Atmosphere is already too good

Oh my god, the food was delicious, the service was friendly and accommodating!

Very tasty, nice service, great ambience

Delicious food, nice restaurant. Price-performance ok.

A great restaurant, the food and service was really top

Was there for the first time today and it really tasted wonderful

Super tasty 😋 Very nice and courteous service.

Nice Mexican in Bad Bentheim. It was very quiet when I was there, but I was early. Ate a burrito con carne. It had a good taste and was big enough. Not much to note, but not very special either. The fries were quite salty, and there was moisture at the bottom of the salad bowl. So all in all fine, but not great.

We ordered something to take away. The portions are really huge. The food is not “authentically” Mexican, so it is very much adapted to German food, but it tastes really delicious. The portions are really big and it was enough for us for 2 days. The salad is very fresh, the rice is tasty, the vegetarian burrito/wrap is very tasty with lots of vegetables. The garlic dip is great, wish I had the recipe. Absolutely nothing to complain about, good food 👍🏽

Food was very tasty. Service friendly and attentive. Can really recommend it.

Delicious food, delicious starter, followed by a delicious main course.

Delicious burritos on the terrace, very friendly service. We will definitely come back!

Service was a bit strange, the waitress stood behind me when I ordered, no questions asked or anything else. Prices are far too expensive for what you get in terms of quality and taste. You're full but you're not happy and fulfilled at the end. I'd say it's being cooked without love if there's a whole onion in my burrito. Wedges were definitely not fresh, they were completely dark, tasted musty and smelled as if they had been forgotten in the oven for the night.

It used to be a restaurant that we enjoyed going to regularly. Prices are now totally exorbitant, only designed for tourists. When we complained about undercooked poultry, we received no apology but only the comment: you can go, we don't need you. Let's see what the food watchdog will say about it. We will avoid the restaurant in the future

Very cozy atmosphere; very tasty food; particularly nice and friendly service - top! Highly recommended 👍

Very nice. Just had a few beers on the terrace.

The spare ribs (which come with almost every dish on the menu) are really bad. The meat hangs very tightly on the bone and without tools you feel like you have to tear it off the bone. The pepper sauce for the chicken was far too thick and clumped when served. The chicken wings also tasted like ready-made products and the chicken fillet was more dry than juicy. The side dishes (fries, salad) were quite okay. Drinks were good. But unfortunately that doesn't help much when you pay just under €65 for two people and the main courses are like that.

Great food. Fresh and delicious. Within 20 minutes we had food on the table. Priced within an acceptable range. The service is very nice 😁 and friendly 👍. Children's menus are well portioned for around €10. Again any time.

Super tasty food at a great price-performance ratio. In addition, very nice and attentive and beautiful service. We will be back!

Wonderful in Bad Bentheim - after a long bike ride we had delicious food and drinks there!

I ate schnitzel Mexikana with fries, I enjoyed it and at the end I had a double espresso

2024.02: Delicious Mexican, but everything is very Germanized. Not spicy, everything mild, but still very tasty. Unfortunately, after eating, the waitress left us alone too often, so we had to wait a long time for more drinks.

Pleasant setting and attentive service. The dishes are hearty and tasty.

Just had a delicious meal 👌. Good and nice service. Super

The food was very tasty and the staff was also friendly

We went with a group of 6 people (and a baby) who barely spoke German, but the service was impeccable. The food was great, and I would definitely visit again if I found myself in the area.

Zonder reservering op een woensdag binnen gelopen. Aardige dames in de bediening. Goede kaart. Naast Mexicaans ook gewoon schnitzels en zo. Niet te duur en hele grote hoeveelheden. Wel een aanrader in Bas Bentheim

Very nice ambience with a lot of comfort and a warm atmosphere. The apple strudel with ice cream and vanilla ice cream advertised outside looks very nice, but had a very hard base, overall delicious. Only later did I realize that it was a Mexican restaurant. Very nice and attentive service.

We were initially the only guests (4) on Sunday afternoon, a little outside lunchtime. The waitress greeted us very nicely, extremely friendly and, together with the kitchen, also fulfilled the special request for nachos with dips as a starter (only available with the evening menu). The food was quite ok, but some had more Italian flavors. We had balsamic sauce on the salad and assumed Italian spices were used in main courses? Is Zapata really a typical Mexican? In terms of the ambience and the menu, yes, but probably more so in terms of the preparation of the dishes. Addendum from the visit on January 28th, 2024: The prices of the map published online no longer correspond to reality! The increase for meat dishes is approx. 30%

Mexican restaurant near Bad Bentheim Castle. Large outdoor terrace, definitely cozy for the summer. The interior has some Mexican decorations. Because there are steep stairs to the toilets, it is not suitable for people with walking difficulties. The music is very quiet, rather less typically Mexican style, so it sometimes seems too quiet. The service is very quick and always friendly. The menu has something for young and old. From burgers to steak, tortillas to burritos, but also schnitzel or apple strudel. The taste was wonderful, good seasoning, not too spicy. Prices are reasonable. A recommendation for those who love a little fire for the taste buds.

Delicious food, nice service, nice place!

Wir haben einen tollen Abend mit der Familie verbracht! Sehr gutes Essen, tolle Cocktails, sehr freundliche und gemütliche Atmosphäre! Wir kommen gerne wieder! Macht weiter so!

The food was excellent. The staff was friendly and the price was reasonable. A clear recommendation from us.

We kwamen op oudejaarsavond, en er werd een plekje vrijgemaakt tussen alle drukte. Goed en vriendelijke bediening. Eten was goed. Verse salade en ingrediënten. Scherpe prijs.

We went spontaneously on New Year's Eve and were very satisfied. The day before I asked if there was still a table available and basically got the last one. Service was very, very friendly and accommodating. Food was super tasty and well prepared. The coffee at the end was freshly made and was a great ending. 5/5 from us and a big recommendation!

Mexicaans restaurant, maar ook schnitzels op de kaart. Leuk, kleinschalig restaurant. Vriendelijk personeel. Goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.

We hadden tortilla. Niet echt smaakvol en de patat was ook nog eens veel te zout. En eigenlijk ook veel te duur. In Duitsland is het sowieso moeilijk om een goed restaurant te vinden

Tolles Restaurant. drei beste Nachos und die besten Getränke. auch wunderbarer Service. sehr empfehlenswert. sehr charmantes Restaurant.

Sehr lecker gegessen! Personal super nett, alles schön sauber. Komme gern wieder.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang und Bedienung. Das Essen ist schnell zubereitet und lecker und empfehlenswert.

One of the better restaurants in bad bentheim.

Schönes gemütliches Restaurant, wo man mit Freunden einen geselligen und leckeren Abend verbringen kann. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Sehr nettes Personal, leckeres Essen und Cocktails und große Portionen 👌

Nice Ambience Super Food but slow service

Schönenes Ambiente und nette Mitarbeiter

Sehr gutes Essen und freundliche Bedienung

Eine gute Empfehlung. Ganz zufrieden mit dem Essen und sicher bis zum nächsten Mal.

Das Essen war gut und die 2 Damen im Service waren wirklich sehr freundlich und kompetent. Leider hat man uns in der Küche wohl vergessen und so mussten wir sehr lange auf unser Essen warten.

Ik heb hier heerlijk gegeten. De kip in de fajita was zeer mals. Het is voor herhaling vatbaar om hier te gaan eten.

Tolles Restaurant, gutes Essen und nette Bedienung.. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Sehr leckeres Essen aber Monsterportionen. Wenn du einen Spieß bestellst aber ein Schwert kommt

Bik het binnen lopen van de stad bij dit restaurant uitgekomen met plaats op het terras aan de voorkant. Bediening was goed en tijdig. Het eten kon ons niet bekoren. Voor een mexicaans restaurant had ik meer echte Mexicaanse smaken verwacht. Alles was beetje onuitgesproken. Groenten waren overgaar en beetje tot moes geworden. Niet de overtuiging dat alles vers bereid is. Mijn score van voldoende is nog aan de relatieve hoge kant. Voor ons geen 2e bezoek.

Heute wieder in Bad Bentheim und das erste Mal im Zapata. Schöne Location im mexikanischem Stil. Das Essen, Enchiladas, waren wirklich lecker. Frische Produkte mit leckerer Beilage. Preis/Leistungsverhältnis wirklich gut. Warum aber nur drei Sterne?!? Die Bedienung unterirdisch! Jungarrogant und selbstverliebt. Um 20:15 Uhr wurde ich belehrt, das die Küche nur noch 15 min. geöffnet sei und ich mich mit der Bestellung beeilen müsste… Sie hätte locker den doppelten Umsatz gemacht, wenn sie mal zum Getränke bestellen, rausgekommen wäre. Nein, ich musste rein, um mir die Getränkekarte zu holen… Schade… Hätte definitiv besser sein können!

Sehr schönes Restaurant. Freundliche Bedienung. Lecker gegessen. 😋

Zeer goed Mexicaans restaurant met goede porties. Zeer smakelijk gegeten.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Direkt in der nähe der Burg, kann man nach dem Essen gut einen Spaziergang dahin machen.

Polecam! 😀 Bardzo dobre jedzenie, duże porcje, normalne ceny, przytulne i bardzo ładne wnętrze, bardzo miła obsługa oraz sympatyczny i kompetentny właściciel restauracji.

Super lekkere mega Schnitzels hier! Aanrader. Gezellige sfeer op zaterdag:-). Konden nog fijn op het terras zitten.

Man kann draußen sitzen. Essen ist sehr gut! Wir kommen sicher wieder!

Ein sehr nettes Restaurant und Personal, die Portionen sind groß und lecker, ausreichend Parkmöglichkeiten keine 100 m entfernt.

viel zu teuer für das einfache Essen, aber das Essen war ok

Wij hebben heerlijk gegeten. Het was er vrij rustig, dat verbaasde ons. Later werd het drukker. Wel mogen ze de tafels eens flink soppen. En wat fijnere stoelen. Maar het eten was super lekker, vriendelijke bediening. Aanrader. Zelf had ik de gevulde wrap met chili con carne met rijst, heerlijk! Mijn zoon had lekkere vleesmix. Mijn dochter carpaccio met knoflookstokbrood en wat frietjes. 😋

Sehr leckeres Essen, freundlicher Service in einem angenehmen Ambiente.

Heerlijk op het terras gegeten. Er was voldoende plaats dus reserveren niet nodig. Gerechten worden op een andere wijze geserveerd dan in Nederland. Desalniettemin was het gerecht zeer smakelijk. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Nette Bedienung und gutes Essen

Met zijn vieren heel erg goed gegeten. Alles was smakelijk, goed bereid, vers en meer dan genoeg. En bovendien erg vriendelijke bediening

Kurz vor Küchenschluss wurden wir noch freundlich empfangen. Die Bedienung war zuvorkommend, professionell und entspannt. Das Essen reichlich und lecker. WC sauber und gepflegt. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und können das Restaurant weiterempfehlen.

We hebben hier met 4 volwassenen en 1 kleine man van 2 gegeten. De burito zapata is een aanrader en wordt pittig gemaakt indien gewenst. De salade is lekker fris, de wedges lekker van smaak en het vlees smaakt goed. Snelle en vriendelijke bediening.

Das Essen war gut ohne zu glänzen. Der freundlich Service hat vieles wett gemacht und die Cocktails und offenen Weine (Merlot) sind zu empfehlen. Der Beilagen Salat war von Dressing und frische spitze!

Im September hier gegessen. Wir bestellten vegetarische Enchiladas. Die Enchiladas wurden ohne Sauce serviert. Die Tortillas waren geschmacklos und zäh. Das Gemüse war meistens aus dem Glas und durchgegart. Der Geschmack war nichts wie mexikanisches Essen. Nicht empfohlen.

Gezin met 3 personen. Alledrie iets anders gegeten en voor alle gerechtjes gold: wel ok. Niets bijzonders en geen uitgesproken smaken. Best jammer.

Burritos en Enchiladas besteld. Alle producten hadden dezelfde, smakeloze vulling van diepvries groenten die bestond uit doperwten, wortel, mais en paprika (je zou op zijn minst bonen verwachten in Mexicaans eten..). Vlees werd in de burritos nagenoeg niet aangetroffen en het vlees in de enchilada was niet gaar. Er werden geen sauzen zoals guacamole of salsa mee geserveerd en voor een klein bakje sour cream werd naderhand nog even €2,40 in rekening gebracht. Geheeld na afloop gemeld aan de serveerster maar er werd niets mee gedaan. Een dikke onvoldoende dus, zeker gezien de forse prijzen op de menukaart. Gelukkig zijn er genoeg andere restaurants in de directe omgeving.

Die Atmosphäre ist sehr schön und angenehm, das Personal war super nett und freundlich, daß Essen war gut, aber nicht überragend, der Preis war angemessen. Alles in allem ein netter Tag.
