Zapata Tunbridge Wells

First time at Zapata. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty autentic food. With Wife, Daughter, son in law grandson. Cocktails A1, Mariachi Band completed the night.

I have never written a review before but I could not believe how gross the food here was. My food was bland and burnt and the enchilada tasted of cardboard. Don't go here. I really regret paying for my meal. I've never eaten anything so tasteless and disgusting.

Apparently under new ownership since the end of 2016, but as I've not been before I've nothing to compare against. There is a very limited menu but well cooked and flavoursome food. Especially the chicken fajitas. Very reasonably priced, and very helpful staff. Will return for sure! View menu

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious authentic and fresh food at reasonable prices. I highly recommend you order Pina Colada -the best one I've ever had! Chicken fajita was served sizzling hot and it looked appetising. Churros oh my! what a treat, nice and crispy just perfect! Looking forward to my next visit. Keep up the good work!

We've not been to Zapata's for a while and were surprised at the reduced menu choices but we both found something we liked and were very pleased with our choices. The salsa and chips started things off well gorgeous salsa! My beef nachos were lovely as were the patatas bravas. My husband enjoyed his chicken enchiladas and we both cleared our plates. We will definitely be back as the food was great and reasonably priced.

My family and I hadn't visited Zapatas in 18 years. We heard that it had recently changed ownership, and after reading some negative reviews from the past, we were hopeful that it would be just as good as it was before. And we were not let down! Both my husband and I, as well as our two teenagers, thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, with one half of the space reserved for a large private party and the other half filled with tables. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious (I especially recommend the nachos, which were piled high with various toppings, and the chicken enchiladas). The cocktails were also very tasty. We will definitel... View menu

If you happen to be strolling through the Pantiles and are in search of a place to dine, be sure to check out Zapatas, a Mexican restaurant under new ownership. The ambiance and decor were charming, creating a delightful setting for a family night out. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious, well-presented, and a pleasure to savor. While I cannot speak to its authenticity as it was my first time trying Mexican cuisine, I found it to be extremely enjoyable and will definitely return. The new owners are clearly dedicated to providing a fantastic dining experience. If you had a disappointing experience at the restaurant in the past, I urge you to give it another chance - you won't r...

I have been here a number of time in last few years this will be my last visit. When we arrived there was a sign saying cash only I was told by waiter to take a walk to nearest cash point at Sainsbury's nearby 10min round trip!! I left my wife alone at table to get drinks while I took the walk. When I got back my wife had no drinks as she was unable to get attended at table while I was gone. This was a problem most of night as there only seemed to be two waiters for the restaurant when 4 would have been appropriate. We had to wait a long time just to ask for water on the table something that should be in the table from the start in a Mexican My food was good fajitas but my wife was not so su...

Our experience at this restaurant on a Friday night was not very positive. Despite being the only table of six, we were seated at a large table that made it difficult to have a conversation. The table was adorned with oversized market-style flowers that obstructed our view of each other. The background music was unpleasant. The service was attentive, and the menu looked promising although expensive. The snacks we ordered were disappointing, with tough and overcooked pork cheeks and soggy whitebait. My main course of halibut was visually appealing but the fish was overcooked and dry. The leak fondue was excessively salty. Some of my dining companions also found their dishes too salty. The mas...
