El Zarape: Reviews & Ratings
So glad they are in their new location. Beautiful designed restaurant. Indoor or outdoor dining. Great food and our waiter was great.
Super impressed with this place! It's no easy feat, but they have my new favorite Michelada! It's sooo damn good here. I got the 3 crunch tacos--both the ground beef and shredded beef. I prefer the shredded, but both were delicious. Chips and salsa were fantastic, with a real kick. The only downside was the beverage selection. My friend wanted a Mexican Coke, but they didn't have it. Then he asked for a Jarritos, and they didn't have that either. Finally, he asked for Horchata, and they didn't have that. They definitely need to work on their Mexican beverage selection. Other than that, I can't wait to go back for my favorite Michelada and try more of the food they offer!
Went to the new location for lunch in Cypress by Trader Joe's/Costco. it was delicious! I had a Casadilla with carnitas. it came with sour cream, guacamole, and a delicious beefy red sauce. so yummy! presentation of the food was beautiful and the restaurant is so inviting. Our server was Marco and he was excellent. very engaging and accommodating. Always checking to make sure we were taken care of and happy. He made our lunch fun. Highly recommend thank you!

I went to the newly opened Los Al restaurant and it was the best Mexican food I've ever had. Macro was a very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly the entire time. The place is beautiful, the food is amazing and the staff are the best. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.
GOOD GOOD GOOD! Best food, atmosphere and servers! The bossman comes by to make sure all is appetizing.
The food here cannot be beat. I had a chili Verde plate and my dining partner had a burrito. I don't remember what kind. The salsa and chips are delicious and easy to fill up on. The drinks are well-made with a nice tequila selection. The service is stellar, and all tables are well tended to with friendly faces. The whole family has worked here at one time or another. Sal and his family have made this a Cypress landmark. Nicely decorated and comfortable inside. I'm looking forward to them opening their new location. It's called El Z and it's a tequila bar and a kitchen. I believe it already opened last Thursday. Make sure not to miss these Cypress Staples.
Local favorite. Everyone in Cypress & Los Al talks about this place. Amazing customer service always. I'm not a fan of their margaritas BUT I am a huge fan of their Palomas. After trying out a few dishes my recent go to dish is the El Zarape Arroz con Pollo. Highly recommend this dish and adding beans. They definitely changed their chips. Their salsa is good. The restaurant isn't big so it's always packed and you'll most likely have a wait. No outside seating.
The food where was very flavorful and filling, I can't wait to try the drinks next time. The bar looks amazing and it seems like they make a nice strong drink. Ask for the habanero salsa if you want something with a kick. There will probably be a little bit of a wait as this place seems popular but it's worth it!
