    I agree with Berks, not good.
    Tipping is expected here and will be added to your bill. This is probably why the service is so bad. They don't need to try. And yes, expect to be faced with aggression if you decide they don't deserve it.
    Also ensure you reserve the correct number of seats as you'll be charged for any you don't use!
    Zapata's has always been the place to go with work for a drunken night out. So if you are looking for a romantic meal, i'd avoid at all costs. In fact, i'd avoid them at all costs anyway.
    The food is as you would expect it, mexican with a pinch of extra spice. Nothing great, nothing unusual.

    I thought that this place used to be really good - I used to be a regular. However, over recent years it's fallen away a bit. The food was always pretty good, but the service 'ok' or 'miss' (rarely 'hit')...I went there once in a party of 8 when the service was terrible. We had to literally get up and go to the waitresses every time we wanted to order drinks / order food / ask when food was coming / ask for used plates to be taken away, etc etc... and other tables were doing likewise. We declined to tip when paying for the meal (they add service automatically, which I always find a little presumptuous), we were sworn at by the owner, and asked to leave and never return. I have done as asked!!!

    The food is exquisite and authentically mexican. The menu is leatherbound and all the waiters speak only Spanish. The terrace is fantastic and the staff are only to happy to have a stumbling conversation in half broken English. But the restaurant's real strength lies in it's charm. The classic olde-worlde atmosphere will not fail to charm the sombrero of anyone who goes in. Loved it!
