This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Villa Y Zapata for years and it's fantastic. I had dinner there again earlier this week, and felt compelled to share my love for this quirky little place.
Villa Y Zapata's chile relleno ranks among the top 10 greatest things I have ever eaten in my life.
If something went horribly wrong and I turned from being a peace-loving pacifist into a crazed, violent super villian who was captured and sentenced to be nixed in the big house after a dramatic high speed chase (that was undoubtedly peppered with explosions and maniacal laughter), Villa Y Zapata's chile relleno would be my final meal request.
If I should ever find myself crawling on my belly to the safety of Edgewater's shore after bobbing helplessly for days in mighty Lake Erie, I would summon the strength to make it to the brighly striped facade of Villa Y Zapata so I can feast on this plate of magic.
This place is a gem in our wonderful city, and it deserves your business.
