I moved from Cornelius to Uptown Charlotte about a year ago and there are a handful of places I miss eating at "up at the lake". This is one of them. I stopped in yesterday for my birthday dinner and I'm so glad to say the quality of the food surpassed even my memories. Starting with the warm, bottomless basket of nacho chips, we added a side of cheese dip (yum!). I had the fish tacos and a margarita. From the food to the service, absolutely EXCELLENT on all accounts. There are several Mexican restaurants to choose from now (and I've ate at at least two other ones on Exit 25 and 28) and review Zapata's the highest.
