ZAPATA in München

Nice place, with great food and staff that knows how to suggest what to have. Really generous portions.

This isn't a Mexican restaurant. More like Tex-Mex with a good atmosphere. Service is okay, but a bit slow. Cocktails are okay. The ingredients in the food are of good quality. The food is okay. The price/performance ratio is a bit on the limit.

The portions were large and filling, which is a positive. Unfortunately, some of the food was a bit cold and only lightly seasoned – there could have been some improvement in terms of flavor. Overall, though, the taste was okay. Unfortunately, the service didn't leave a particularly good impression; it wasn't particularly friendly. It was okay for the price, but there's room for improvement.

The worst Mexican restaurant I have tried in Germany. When the menu offers Schnitzel, tapas, poor variations of chilly con carne, San Miguel is offered as a traditional beer, and the tacos are made not with real tortillas, but with hard shells that you can find in Rewe, you start wondering why the effort. The only Mexican thing is the name. Don't waste your money if you are looking forward to a traditional cuisine.

Very cozy restaurant, good service, extensive menu with vegetarian and vegan options. The food could have been a bit spicier/more flavorful...

I'll definitely come again! Great food, great staff and excellent atmosphere!!!

Great cocktail prices, service a little slow.

The best Mexican restaurant in Munich. Generous portions. Cocktails with original ingredients. Friendly and attentive service. High-quality food. I'll be back.

Im really sorry that my first review is so negative but I just have to warn everybody from this place. This “Mexican“ food is galaxies away from real Mexican food. You can tell that nothing is freshly made and everything contains a lot of sugar. The only good thing were the cocktails, lots of booze, they make you forget about the bad food.

The only star I can give went to one of the three waiters. Who really took good care of us when he was near the table. Otherwise the service was as bad as I have experienced in a long time. Blind, listless and, frankly, pretty lazy. However, with four tables occupied, it seems too much to expect people to check on the guests. Sorry but once and never again

Absolutely tasteless food. Surprisingly inedible.

The food is a disaster, and the service doesn't make you feel welcome at all. I regret not having read the reviews beforehand.

A rustic restaurant that attempts to create a Mexican atmosphere with its decor. The food was good and tasty, but nothing wow-worthy. The cocktails were very good, especially if you order during happy hour. The service was attentive and friendly. All in all, a good evening and good value for money. We had two main courses and four cocktails for €70 for two people. We left the restaurant full and satisfied and will be back soon... Not for the interior 😅

Yes, nicely decorated Mexican restaurant. Large selection of food, delicious drinks. When it comes to eating, sometimes there is a bit of room for improvement.

We visited the restaurant durning happy hour and the first thing we were drawn to was the fun ambience of the place. Service was wonderful, our server was very attentive to our needs. We stayed for a few hours and then the restaurant started to fill up. Definitely can tell this place is a local favorite. Cocktails were very good, have to say after visiting several Mexican restaurants in Munich, the classic margarita was delicious and served up the way I prefer…with ice and good salt around the rim. PERFECT! As for the food, it was good. I had to taquitos which appeared to look more like flautas, they were a little too brown for my liking but I did enjoy the accompaniments with my dinner. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as I felt the prices were very reasonable and would absolutely visit again.

My worst food experience in Munich or I should better say Europe. The food was disgustingly bad, we ordered 4-5 tapas and not one was eatable. Not only the food was swimming with bad oil but as well the food was super bad quality. The gambas for example - it seems like they purchased the frozen package from netto and just fried them. The onion rings felt like you are eating plastic, nachos were from the packet and it seemed like already opened for days! Creme with nachos was absolutely crap. Sorry I never write such reviews but this restaurant really forced you. Please DO NOT GO there, save your money and your taste buds

Unfortunately that was nothing: the food was very carelessly prepared, hardly any spices, a side salad with canned corn like from the 80s and the chicken in the taco looked suspiciously like the packaged, ready-to-eat chicken strips from the supermarket. There's nothing authentic here, but unfortunately it's just bad.

I got a terrible stomach bug the night after eating there

Were there last night. Really great food, large portions and great service!!!

Cool location and certainly great food, but unfortunately we didn't like our dish at all..

Relaxed meal with friends, quiet Food delicious

Loved the generous portions and taste of the tacos here. The non alcoholic cocktails are good too.

Very interesting Mexican restaurant with delicious food and cocktails.

Cool location FOR YEARS!!! We had really good service and were also made aware of offers. The reaction to a table change was extremely flexible. You can tell that the team enjoys working together. We'll be back.

The food was very good and the portion size was also good. The restaurant is beautifully decorated.

We went to Zapatos on 31st December 2024 and we had reserved our place before hand so it was good. The food was delicious and even though it was 31st Dec the service was good and the staff were also very nice and friendly. Must go!

Finding good Mexicans in Munich is difficult. You are in top hands here. Very hospitable. Great ambience, nice bar, a good menu and great cocktails. The food tastes very good and the waitresses are all very friendly. You don't have to wait long for the food. I can only recommend it. Thank you for the lovely evenings with you. We'd love to come back

Nice place with nice plates! You should visit it and taste the margarita

Authentically Mexican, lovingly furnished and decorated. Nice staff. There is a sufficient map where everyone can find something. Also many vegetarian dishes. Delicious cocktails.

Great place, authentic, nice staff, large menu, very good Mexican food. Delicious cocktails. Large portion. Price performance very good.

The food was almost cold when it arrived. And in terms of taste it was more of a, well, experience. It wasn't bad but it wasn't special either. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio doesn't match here.

I enjoyed it again after all these years. And I like the whole atmosphere.

The platter was quite carelessly prepared and the chicken was unfortunately far too dry. Everything is a bit unseasoned. The service was very bored, didn't smile and seemed rather bored.

Very pleasant location with a great atmosphere. Nice, friendly and humorous waitresses. Solid, delicious food, good quality food and a very good price/performance ratio. However, the beer costs from 4.90 and the cocktails from 7.90 in happy hour. The cocktails taste very good. The restaurant is highly recommended for a nice sociable evening.

Large portions. To me it tasted like canned beans, meat the same. I won't go there again and won't recommend it to anyone. Better less quantity and more quality!

Quite okay. Large portions but I wasn't really impressed.

Delicious food, fair prices, good cocktails, nice service!

The only good thing was the ambience. I haven't eaten so badly in years. Service is slow, doesn't ask if the glasses are empty, etc.

Yesterday we were in a group at Zapata and celebrated our birthday. The tapas platter and the nachos with cheese gratin were super tasty. The main courses were also very good. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the service is very friendly and takes special requests into account. The cocktails are also super delicious. We'll definitely be back.

You have to see the valuation in relation to the prices. This is a fairly cheap restaurant by Munich standards. The food is interesting and well seasoned. The portions also appeal to gluttons. Wasn't there for a long time, but immediately felt like home.

A veteran with a special charm in Neuhausen.

Abundant and tasty Mexican food. Very attentive service.

Even pretty late at night (22:00) the kitchen was still open and they served me a very good meal and cocktail

I've been visiting Zapata Munich for a good 20 years and have never had any reason to complain. Be it the lovingly furnished ambience, the friendly staff, the selection of drinks (cocktails) or the extensive selection of food. My favorite are the beef fajitas. A little tip: Happy Hours (daily) from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and from 11:00 p.m. until the end.

The frint desk was rude, the service was not great, and the server kept asking for tips. The food is overpriced in general. Will definitely not recommend it.

The atmosphere was good. The food was a large portion but unfortunately only poorly warmed up. You could taste the microwave and feel the heat distribution in the food. The chicken was way too dry. The enchilada too soggy. Positively the homemade but warmed chili from carne.

The service was super nice. Nice atmosphere and delicious food! I'll definitely come back.

Wie immer super lecker, reichlich große Portionen, verschiedene Arts von Cocktails....super nettes Personal...Wir sind immer wieder Begeistert...

Excellent Mexican food, friendly atmosphere, generous portions.

We went to this Mexican bar on a Monday at 10 p.m., and we were the only ones there. The place has a very good atmosphere and authentic decorations. We had some beer and cocktails, which were fine, but the food and nachos were disappointing—the nachos were dry, and the food didn’t taste fresh. That was our experience. We did return the food, and they gave us a refund, which was appreciated. Otherwise, it’s a nice place to hang out.

Delicious food and friendly service

Not open until 1:00 At 23:36 it was already closed Not open until 1:00. It was already closed at 23:36.

Simply put.. The worst Mexican restaurant you can try in Munich. They serve microwaved burritos and enchiladas, unseasoned and under-spiced chicken that seemed to be cooked at least a day before. Soggy nachos and tortillas bread, tasteless side dishes too. If you are seeking a reasonable culinary experience, I would not recommend at all. The restaurant had a foul odor inside too.

Perfect for a relaxed summer evening! There is plenty of outdoor seating, a cocktail happy hour until 8 p.m. and lots of delicious Mexican dishes. We love the Nachos Supreme, even though they have unfortunately become very expensive now 😅 We still like to come, also because the regular staff is just very nice and you can often spontaneously get a seat even on a sunny Friday evening. The chimichanga is also very tasty.

Great restaurant, with delicious food, nice service and very good cocktails

Classic “Germanized” Mexican food in large portions with friendly service

I sat outside, it's nice to sit on the street (quietly) and you can watch life in the neighborhood. That certainly has its charm. However, the food was good, but not anymore. I ordered empanada, but got something that looked more like enchiladas or something similar. Service is friendly.

Were only there for a drink. The Mojito and Aperol were delicious and a perfect size. Appropriate for the price! The service was excellent.

Good food. But the waiter suggesting that we should tip 20% is just bad manners.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good Mexican dishes.

Atmospheric, nice music. I was in the restaurant on Wednesday from 19:00 to 21:00, there were few people, but we reserved a table just in case. I was with children aged 8 and 16 years old - we ate everything we ordered, moderately peppered! The portions are large and tasty, there is a lot left over. We didn’t take dessert - we ate too much🫣 Delicious and unusual Mahito. I recommend! Check for three 125€

Nicely decorated restaurant. Food is ok, but not particularly good quality, but quite expensive.

Authentic Mexican or Tex-Mex food is hard to come by in Munich. Zapata was below average for Mexico or the States, but about as good as you can find in town. The cocktails were really tasty though.

The food is good, but the rude and unreasonable male waiter really makes this restaurant a disgrace! We came for dinner today and put some things (including a water bottle) on the table as we entered the restaurant. Each of us ordered a beer or cocktail and also a bottle of water to share. When a male waiter came to take the order, he immediately rudely took the water bottle from the table and said that it was not allowed. We explained that each of us had ordered drinks and that we had just forgotten, but he just shook his head and said he wouldn't give them back to us until after we ate? Really ridiculous, what right do you have to take my things because of something we didn't even notice? Didn't we order anything or had we already drunk it? It's really rude and ridiculous. After we reported it to another employee he didn't even come to apologize, really shameful and unfortunate!!!!!!

Nothing special. Service takes a long time and doesn't have all the tables in view. Food = below average

Mexican food in a quaint, slightly rustic atmosphere, which goes well with it. It's a bit reminiscent of the long-gone student days. Apparently Zapata has been around for decades, in one of the liveliest corners of Neuhausen. It was a meeting after a long time; we hadn't seen an old friend for 25 years. The food was good, but actually irrelevant at this meeting. I couldn't pay that much attention. That's why and only because of that only 4 points. Maybe more next time.

Excellent selection of cocktails and food, nice service. Everything is very clean and a nice atmosphere.

Ausgezeichnete Auswahl an Cocktails und Speisen, netter Service. Alles ist sehr sauber und ein schönes Ambiente. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

In the ZAPATA restaurant in the beautiful city of Munich you can find delicious Mexican food in a beautiful ambience and pleasant service. For me, as someone who enjoys Mexican food and has tried a lot in Munich and the surrounding area, I have to say that ZAPATA is one of the top restaurants and can only be recommended! But you should book the table earlier, otherwise it will already be fully booked, because when I was there it was very full

Not suitable for people with dogs. Because there are poison baits laid out under the tables.

Scam, came in a group. Returned with a supplement of €170 supposedly unpaid. I strongly advise against it. Scamming tourists. A limit per bank card of €13

Tourist trap! Exorbitant prices! Do not frequent

Exorbitant prices, more than doubtful taxation, limit for the bank card of 13€ Do not give all the change

My favorite place in Munich, absolute recommendation!!!

Delicious Mexican restaurant, delicious cocktails

Tasty Tex Mex cuisine, a special mention for the cocktails to absolutely taste!

Very very nice shop! Great atmosphere even after 11 p.m.!

Went with 9 people. Mixed starters and main courses, cocktails...everything was there. The food was excellent and you could taste that a lot of it was homemade. Meat was tender and everything was very, very well seasoned and seasoned. Cocktails are really tasty and the service was very nice and quick. The restaurant was completely full last night (Friday)! I think that speaks for itself and everything still worked out great. Of course there aren't many parking spaces available, so come publicly if possible. We'll be back, see you soon.

Nicely decorated restaurant with nice service and good food, although the Indian touch irritated us a little.

Have eaten here several times with friends and colleagues. It's always nice, the menu has a lot of choice and we haven't been disappointed so far. I'd love to come back

Although Zapata was awarded 5 stars as Restaurant of the Year, I am unsure about this choice after my visit. The taste experience fell short of my expectations, there was a lack of Friday evening atmosphere due to the lack of background music, and the waiters seemed overwhelmed. This discrepancy between the award and my personal experience raises questions.

I can't understand afterwards how ripped off you have to be to charge a single woman €78 for a meal (17.80) with a spritzer and 3 cocktails (2 of them in happy hour)… Unfortunately I was very distracted with my friends... (who also all paid way too much) Me and my friends will never go there again, congratulations, ripped off once and never seen again.. We were there on Saturday, February 17th. and made a reservation at 6:00 p.m. for B. (last name) P. (name) So that the boss can perhaps respond to what condition it was.

A “soft” enchiladas with chicken and vegetables, a taco filled with chili con carne. What I found particularly special is that the chili con carne was not made with minced meat, but with beef cut into cubes. Extremely delicious. We will come back in any case. The parking situation was chaotic, but I'll accept that for a special evening. I think driving with the MVG is better. Thanks for the delicious evening! 😘

Good cocktails and good music !

There were three of us there and we wanted to eat vegetarian food. The food tasted very boring and seemed interchangeable. The service generally worked well, but it was very unfriendly. The low point of the service was that when I was clearing up, my wife was asked to hand over her used plate in a rather imperious gesture. The cocktails were good. Ambience is certainly a matter of taste but I found it too dark and much too loud.

It was my first time eating at Zapata and what can I say?. Incredibly delicious food!, a huge selection of food and drinks, apart from that there is a long happy hour for cocktails that also taste incredibly good!. The staff is very friendly and attentive, I will DEFINITELY come back!.

Nothing is possible here without a reservation. The shop is always busy, which certainly has something to do with the great service and the even better food. I can only recommend.

not many vegan options but they offered to make my burrito with vegan cheese, which was really nice. the drinks were good and the atmosphere there was nice as well. only the toilets were really unhygienic and dirty

Very crowded and very loud on the weekend, but only because the store is so great! Great food, great service, simply TOP!

The food was sublime, everything warmed up and with skin on the sauces. The gambas con ajilio were swimming pale in some soup. All in all, never again. I grew up in Neuhausen and thought you could eat well there, but unfortunately not.

Nice place. We came late so we didn't try the food, but the menu was looking quite creative regarding the defined kitchen style. Very kind service, matching background music and inspiring interior design.

Bester Mexikaner in München. Spitzen Atmosphäre und für Veganer ist auch immer was dabei. Essen lecker und Portion wirklich so dass man satt wird. Immer einen Besuch wert.

Zapata has a nice atmosphere including Mexican vibes. However, when it comes to service, we had to wait for 40-50 minutes. In addition to that the food was nice and tasty but it is not like I would come here again and again. I had enchilada and the ingredients were a bit unsalted. That's why the taste was weaker. The shrimp sticks were tasty and the sauce was tastier than the shrimp sticks. In the end, the waiter had a weird attitude by asking for cash only. It is not written and it is not a rule. We had to pay everything together via card instead of having it separated.

Large portions, reasonable prices, enough space for large groups

Super Restaurant, tolles Essen und tolle Einrichtung. Wenn man Lust auf Mexikanisch hat ist das die richtige Adresse :)

Hatte die vegetarische Enchilada, die fand ich leider eher mittelmäßig, war nicht so geschmackvoll. Service war Ordnung, aber auch nicht herausragend. Ambiente ist schön.

Das Essen war super. Portion war ausreichend und preislich war es auch in Ordnung super Lokal

The food is nice, but not really Mexican, is more tex-mex

Schöner Mexikaner mit guten Margaritas! 😍 Das Essen war auch sehr gut, für unseren Geschmack nur etwas zu mild gewürzt. Mit Parkplätzen gehört ein bisschen Glück dazu.

Positiv: Reservierung hat problemlos geklappt Die Portionen sind gigantisch - auch für gute Esser eine echte Challenge Sehr freundliches Personal Qualität des Essens war sehr gut Geschmacklich sehr lecker Große Auswahl an Gerichten Großer Tisch mit ausreichend Platz Gute Auswahl an Getränken/Cocktails Negativ: - Fazit: Ein insgesamt sehr schöner Abend. Wir werden definitiv wiederkommen, wenn wir mexikanisches Essen in München wollen!
