Tdlr: Pretty average but would still recommend.
I went here with my boyfriend's family. They're pretty regular there and I, being new in town, wanted to try it. The service was good. Albeit the waitress didn't check on us much. The overall noise levels of the place were a bit too quiet. Even with other customers. The food was about average(minus the above average cheese dip.) I got a large burrito while here and it was pretty average also. Regardless, I would eat here again.

Moved from Garden City and came back for a visit. Grew up eating at El Zarape's and couldn't wait to eat there again. Love their hot sauce! The reason for the one star is that we were served mild hot sauce so we asked for medium. They said for a small bowl they would have to charge us for it. We ended up buying a jar because it would be cheaper then to buy small bowls for our group. They make their own hot sauce and I've never been anywhere that charged for a bowl of hot sauce. Mr and Mrs. Garcia would be very unhappy as they were always trying to please their customers! We won&apos

My wife and recently ate at El Zarape, on a Friday around 2:30pm . We were seated and there was only one couple already there and received their food as we were seated . The young pregnant waitress brought our chips and salsa, moments later another couple were seated (now there’s 6 people in the restaurant 2 of which already have their food). We finished our chips and salsa, when the waitress brought our food , I requested more salsa,(I like salsa in my food ) . The waitress continued to work bringing a case of salsa to stock behind the register, then she brought out another case of salsa, then

Food was good. Service was good. Called ahead to make a reservation for a table of 12 and was told no problem. Got there and was basically called a liar. No one had called! When I showed her my phone with their phone number in it her tone changed. We almost walked out but everyone was wanting Mexican food and we knew it was a good restaurant to eat at. Definitely would get rid of the hostess or manager whoever she was that greeted us at the door.

I would give this zero stars if I could!
My meal was listed as coming with corn tortillas and that flour would be .70 upcharge... so I specified corn tortillas because I have a gluten allergy. The meal was so sloppy together on the plate that I never guessed they would've given me flour tortillas instead until the bill came with the upcharge. I questioned it and was told I should've specified (I did) and that it automatically goes into their system as flour when ordering.
I actually told the manager I was going to the bathroom to see if I could throw up my meal so I wouldn't get

There are very few delivery places here in Garden, so I gave this place a shot.
I was extremely disappointed. The food was bland and extremely overpriced. I paid over $20 for an order, and assumed I'd eat it for my next few meals. The $7 "burrito" I ordered was a small, taco sized flour tortilla with a small amount of beans and cheese. It was supposed to also have steak, but I missed out on that part.
Bland, overpriced food. Not worth your time when there are dozens of authentic Mexican restaurants in the area.

I had the shrimp fajitas. They were good I just wish there would of been more than 5 small shrimps and the rest was all bell peppers. My husband had a burrito and when I asked him how it was he said "tough as nails" And "half my burrito is sour cream" I thought he was joking, he cut the burrito and indeed one side sour cream side and one meat. The cheese dip was disappointing and the salsa was just tomatoe. This is not what Mexican food is supposed to taste like. Also a Mexican quesadilla does not use cheddar cheese.

We have always enjoyed El Zarape's, however this past Saturday my husband and I went. It was the worst. Our waitress was fantastic but we were there forever. It appears that they have decided to concentrate on take out orders rather than people dining in. After waiting 1 hour and 15 min for our food my husband's order was not correct, my order had the wrong sides and when they corrected the sides I noticed the pablito had the incorrect meat choice but hey I was hungry and it was cold.

After hearing mixed reviews we decided to try this place. If I was just reviewing the food it would be at least a 4. The chicken fajitas were great and we enjoyed the salsa even though it was sort of tomato sauce with a kick at the end. Also, our service wasn't great... But got the feeling our waiter was new. Overall, it's worth a try if you're having a Mexican food marathon in Garden City like we are! Gotta try 'em all.

I love love this place.My family and Ihave been coming here since I was a small child. I think they spoiled me on what mexican tastes like because since I have moved away I cant find anywhere that compares to El Zarape.
I LOVE that I can get their hotsauce at dillons here. Eating their salsa with chips is like comfort food for me.
Everytime Im in Garden City we HAVE to come here to eat.

Never had a bad experience at this restaurant. Always good service and great food! I would recommend El Zarape to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican food dining experience. Much better food than competitors with the exception of their cheese dip, the only thing I've had that I didn't really care for.

An excellent choice, whether you live in the area or are just passing through. Family oriented and family owned, service is sometimes a little slow, but food has never been served to me cold or under prepared, and I rarely have to send back custom orders. I've been eating at this establishment since before I could speak. You cannot go wrong with this choice in Mexican cuisine!!!

I've been eating here for over 35 years. Their food is amazing. But, their salsa shipping business is crap. I sent them $70 over a month ago for a case of salsa and I still haven't received it. They don't answer my emails. It's frustrating.
So, to summarize my previous three sentences. Food is amazing. Service is crap.

Does the name look familiar? I actually found the place that makes my favorite salsa that's sold a Sam's Clubs around the country. I've enjoyed their salsa for years and the food here was no exception. Very typical Mexican menu with affordable prices.
After gorging on the chops and salsa I got the chili rellenos which were pretty huge and tasty! My buddy got the fajitas and cheese dip which were also very stereotypical but definitely a step above the rest.
If I'm ever back in garden city I'll definitely be back for more but in the meantime I'll just enjoy the
