A beautiful spot in the center of town. Great beer, great drinks, excellent food and reasonable prices. Most recently, we had the fish & chips and it did not disappoint. Crispy coating & tender fish with a decent tarter sauce. The staff are friendly & helpful. I had their jamaica mezcalita and it was delicious! We've been here several times and have always been impressed.

Excellent stop at Zapata. We got to dinner around 6, it was dead. We ordered and food and service was done quickly. It got super busy as the night went on. The food was great, it’s definitely meant for expats not really locals. Food is expensive.

Great food! Everything is so fresh! I wanted to go back, but with so many wonderful choices of restaurants, I didn't make it.

This was a pretty decent place to grab a bite and get some drinks in the middle of Loretto. There was lots of experts, but also it seemed like some locals too. We had the guacamole which was a bit flavorless and the ceviche which was pretty delicious and a very hearty portion. The drinks were good too, and we know that they have live music.
