Orrin PThe food was delicious! The staff was friendly and I left full. Guacamole was flavorful and there was no room for improvement. Well done.

Darren PettyThe food is good. Typical Spanish Mexican style food. Tastes fresh and delicious. Wait staff is polite and friendly. The food came out quick and there was not a wait to be seated. Overall good experience. Expect to pay $30-40 per person including drinks and an appetizer. It’s located in the old El Bandido restaurant building.

Barbara Martinez⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking for an amazing molcajete in the Hudson Valley, El Zapata in Downtown Middletown is the place to go. This local, family-owned Mexican restaurant came highly recommended—and it did not disappoint. The molcajete is served sizzling hot in a volcanic stone bowl and loaded with bold, flavorful meats, fresh salsa, and all the traditional accompaniments. It’s a true feast and perfect for sharing. Absolutely delicious and worth ordering. The restaurant has a bright, colorful ambiance, friendly service, fresh guacamole, and excellent margaritas. Everything from the food to the atmosphere made for a great dining experience. Highly recommend—order the molcajete. You’ll thank me later.

彭TJPengFood made with love and care and the price is right most tacos are only tres dollars that’s three for all you gringos it’s nice on the wallet and keeps the belly happy at the same time generous portions and everything cooked to perfection except for the steak can be a little dry. I would pick the lengua aka ox tongue a lot more tender and juicy if you go the bovine route. The enchiladas with mole was bomb and the chile relleno is to die for that’s green chilies fried and battered with a cheesy filling. And don’t get me started on the rice and beans and next door you got rock fantasy after a meal you can go to the pinball arcade what a perfect date
