The food and service has taken a major DIVE here. Orders are not taken correctly & the quality of our favorite dishes has gone way down hill. We recently placed an order for two "to go" and one of the orders was missing. My husband waited for at least a half hour for the other meal. No, he was not offered a complimentary beverage while waiting. Clearly something has gone amiss here, and they have "cheapened down" their ingredients big time.
Whtat a disappointment!Stramgely, we were talking the day before to two neighbors who referred to Friday's and "Zapata's" night. When we mentioned "going to Zapata's again Friday"? she answered "NO, the food has lost it's quality and the service is lacking. We're finding a new Friday night spot. I told her we'd noticed the food becoming greasy/subpar and hoped it was just a temporary chef, so we went back. I could not eat the meal and drank a Boost instead. My husband wasn't pleased either. We don't plan to return. . Now if someone could suggest a really good Mexican restaurant in Ballantytne/Pineville, we'd be most appreciative.
