the restaurant

Zapatas are hacked is your fun, festive, casual neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Founded in 1984 in downtown St. John's,  Zapata's Mexican Restaurant has always been known for a relaxed dining experience, with warm gracious service where every guest is made to feel welcome and at home.

A comfortable air conditioned restaurant awaits you on Bates Hill.  Drop by and indulge in generous portions of Mexican food, from sizzling fajitas and  burritos to savory enchiladas. Experience the taste of tradition and enjoy the Margaritas! And if your taste buds are not so adventurous we carry striploin steaks, baby back ribs and more. 
 
For those of you who cannot visit the restaurant for dinner we offer our full menu for take-out and also have a wide selection of items at Belbin's Grocery on Quidi Vidi Road.  
 
Thank you for your patronage. We could not have done it without you!
