The Scene
Zapata's glass storefront gives way to a warm, sensuous room with vibrantly painted walls and evocative, jazzy artwork from the owner's private collection. The crowd is a mix of families, local office workers and urban food adventurers looking for new thrills. Servers are endearingly earnest and will walk you through unfamiliar terms on the menu.

The Food
The menu aspires to more traditional, genuine Mexican cuisine than most of its chips-and-salsa-slinging cousins around town. Start off with a melty, cheesy treat like queso fundido, served with garnishes and warm tortillas for make-your-own tacos. Most entrees consist of various meats swathed in mild, complex sauces that hum with unfamiliar and inviting flavors. Try the chicken with rich mole sauce or cochinita pobil--pork in a delightfully citrusy marinade. Crepes drizzled with caramel and topped with ice cream are wonderful to linger over at meal's end.
