Zapata - Munich

Best Mexican Restaurant I have been to in Munich which says a lot since I come from southern cali where the mexican food is o'plenty. Great classic margaritas on the rocks... just make sure to ask for the rocks!

I don't believe you. No one really from So Cal calls it "southern cali".

I had the Enchilada Pollo, a generous serve with two enchiladas made with decent chicken. The refried beans were yummy and not the usual brown slop out of a jar. Good service, reasonable prices. Atmosphere is more restaurant and less bar (the Gypsy Kings CD is really popular), so if you're looking for a loud, lively cocktail joint this probably isn't it. Tends to get a bit smoky, but doesn't everywhere? All in all highly recommended.

Great dinner tonight, and the margaritas were excellent -- not too smoky either, although we were pretty early and it was a Sunday night. Parking is a pain, but walkable from the Banhof.

Was there for dinner and drinks this evening. The nachos were tasty (real homemade chips). The main meals were not bad but lacking celantro (fresh coriander) which is vital for good Mexican food. The cocktails were REALLY good and they always have one cocktail at half price all night long. The service was fantastic and very attentive. I will for sure be going back there for drinks and chips!!!

With the area around Rotkreuzplatz being my favorite hang out area, I can only agree with the previous poster. Great drinks (many times availably at happy hour prices), great nachos and never had a bad meal. I love their fajitas. Have not found tastier ones in Munich.
