It's our favorite spot in town for a bite to eat. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are made fresh. The taco Tuesday is great, $1.99 for a great selection of tacos. They also have other daily specials that are enough to feed two. The burritos are huge and the molé is made in house. They're great people with huge hearts

The food is good but man they get my order wrong pretty often from substituting an order of French fries for rice, forgetting items in the order, or missing bacon on my bacon cheeseburger! As I said before the food is good but always check to make sure your order is correct.

I'm from San Diego, I ended up in this area afterliving in Las Vegas for a while. So if there is one food I know and love, it's Mexican Food. I first discovered Zapata's Family Restaurant in Moreno Valley. I was a regular buyer of their Tamales in Winter and would ask for a vat of their Salsa (seriously the best salsa casera in existence) they would always sell the salsa in a 32oz styrofoam cup, and it didn't go wasted. I moved to Menifee and was very happy that this gem was here in Romoland. My go to for breakfast is the Chilaquiles con Asada with red sauce, my Dinner choice is a wet Zapata's 1lb Burrito. I love this place.

I was looking for a new place to eat. Somewhere I had not been to and I found Zapata's Mexican Restaurant. It's in Nuevo and it feels like you are driving Into a super small town. The restaurant itself is small, but there are enough tables to fit you right in. The workers are very welcoming and attentive to your needs. My soda was flat and they exchanged it right away. They bring you chips and salsa while you look at the menu. Everything looked pretty good as they brought it out to neighboring tables. I had the chilaquiles with steak and they were good. They had a kick to them, which is always welcoming. The French toast was always good. I wanted to try a lengua taco, but they did not have any. That was a bummer. Overall, great place with great food and great hosts. I will return to Zapata's.

My favorite restaurant in town!! Service is amazing, food is out of this world, and the little hole-in-the-wall ambiance is perfect for our little town.I only give 4 stars because this last year the prices have gone up a bit too much, but it still doesn't stop me from buying this for my family at least once a week.They're a family owned and opwrated restaurant and you definitely feel it when you walk in and you can taste it in their food.

Ordered 2 soft tacos taking advantage of the $1.99 deal on Tuesday and side of chips and guacamole. The order was to go. Besides the fact that they tried charging me $8.99 for a 4oz guacamole (no chips included). The tacos were nothing but oil, I took the order to go, by the time I got to my job to enjoy my meal was too late to complain. The tortillas were soaked in grease and the to make matters worse the meat was ice cold. I was able to soak 2 large napkins in the oil and still was able to drip the container. Definitely not getting asada tacos from there again.
