We haven't been to Don Zarape 2 in a few years. Today for lunch we were trying to decide what we had a taste for and we decided on fish. The Mojarra Fritas (tilapia) is always banging!! Fried and seasoned to perfection!! It was great seeing some of the same employees working there. Service was great. During lunch there wasn't many folks there so we go a table really quick. We got waters, chips and salsa as soon as we sat down. They have some of the best salsa in town! We love patronizing small businesses and not chains. I'm glad this place survived Covid. It's small but tables are always clean and and environment is always welcoming. They have two big screen TV's as well. Can't wait to visit again. read more

One of my favorite spots to grab caldo de res or abondigas. Their tacos always hit. I'm so lucky my stepdad is Mexican so he takes me to all the good spots. The ladies are super friendly and give great service! Their corn tortillas are made in house and so good. The store is cute and has tvs on both ends of the store, one in english, one in spanish. I'll be back soon! read more

Don Zarape 2 - caldo de res - Mexican Near Me - North Hollywood, California

This is a hole in the wall place but their prices are crazy expensive!! Food is okay. The soups were good but $20 each is wayyyy too expensive. We got breakfast burritos today she charged us $17.50 each. That's insane. And they weren't even that good. I'm not going back thank you . read more

Only ordered a large Camarones de Cockteil and a lemonade. $30.00. The shrimp were small and not cleaned. The only ingredients were some small pieces of avocado and very small shrimp. Definitely the worst prepared Mexican shrimp cocktail I've ever had. I poured all of the red salsa that you get with the chips along with ketchup and some lemon (no lime) but there were no other vegetables present. And the lemonade was definitely from powder, but cost six dollars. It tasted terrible so yeah in my neighborhood but I'm never going back. The waitress was very nice. read more

I love the food here, tonight I ordered again for the second night in a row. Unfortunately my order was wrong but they were kind enough to replace the wrong item. Unfortunately when I did get to eating the caldo the res I ordered, both of them were wrong as well. They were chicken. Lesson learned, I will do my best to check my order right there. I don't live so close to keep driving back. read more

Food: ordered a whole chicken, menudo large side of beans and rice and everything tasted okay nothing to say WOW! The portions are enough to keep you full and definitely still have some left over food to take home. Price: BE AWARE!! their food prices are definitely overpriced comparison to other Mexican restaurants around this neighborhood (example: large side of beans cost $12.99 Rice $12.99 menudo $18.99 whole asado chicken $28.99, bottle coke $5.00 & horchata $5.99) they are definitely overpricing their items without having actual prices on their menu's and this is a strategy many restaurants use to charge you more without you knowing the prices. We paid over $88.00 for those items and we thought it was way too pricey if you asked me. I'm usually the type of customer to support local businesses specially in my neighborhood but this was definitely the last time I give this restaurant my business. Don Zarape thank you for the food but this was definitely the last time I support your business...Your overpriced items is what's going to hurt your business in the long run. BE AWARE OF HIGH PRICES FELLOS YELPER's This food was for 3 people (2 adults and 1 child) read more

Good service the food clean home made taste the aguas specially the green cucumber with mint lemon and a litle fresh strawberry was great I thought they were serving me a margarita I will be back for more cracks dorados read more

Love the homemade tortillas with Menudo, have great refreshing drinks, grilled cheicken and salsa. great service.

It is with great sadness that I write this review. In fact, I slept on it to make sure my spirit was right. I take pride in writing positive reviews. You can check my record. A couple of days ago, I ordered a Chicken Enchilada Combo Plate and was sorely displeased. It was clear to me that the rice was mixed with old rice. This made my entire plate suspect. The black beans come with a broth so more than likely, Don Zarape can mix old and new beans easily as well. I stopped dining here before because not only did I discover this mixing problem (at least two times) before, but I can link one of my COVID episodes directly to Don Zarape. What brought me back was their Chilaquiles which are to die for. No one to date has made Chilaquiles any better. If I do return, I will not purchase anything including rice or beans because I have been burned three times now. I hated to write this but somebody had to do it. read more

Amazing food, great service. We have been coming here consistently for a year now & the food is always good and the service is always friendly & kind. Love the chicken soup! Must try. Especially when feeling a little under the weather:) My children and husband love this Mexican restaurant. read more

Great food and great service. Was recommended y the local tire shop San Fernando and Sons.got to the place and we were welcome with the smell of Pollo Asado right at the parking lot. read more

I tried Don Zarape's food a few weeks ago and went back for seconds this past week. It was that good. When you pull into the parking lot, they're grilling carne asada, pollo and chorizo links and the smell is amazing! Of the food I've tried, the carne asada plate with shrimp is amazing, I had them custom make a chimichanga with carne asada, which was really good, the nachos.... Wow! If you're hungry the serving of nachos will easily feed several people. I saw another person's post of people being rude, I find quite the contrary. The people that work here are really pleasant. The food is great, they take their time making it for you so it's perfect. These days, unless you go to a fast food establishment, it's tough to feed a family of 5 quality food for under $100 bucks.... Don Zarape delivers both quality and authentic Mexican food to those who appreciate it. If you haven't tried it, try it! You'll be glad you did! read more

Horrible food. Chicken burrito is insanely dry, flavorless, and the tortilla is unusually hard on some parts. The rice inside is also undercooked. Insanely overpriced menu for mediocre food. read more

Come on guys... 3 times I had to go back. First wasn't the wet supreme burrito Went back Gave me another burrito Wasn't the wet burrito like the picture. They said she thought I said another burrito I don't even know the name of. I wanted the sour crème and avocado on the top Like the picture. Chicken wet supreme burrito. All they did for the third time is add sour crème on top and avocado. It was cold. Why couldn't we start all over And get a New Hot Burrito??! 3 times I went back. It was slow. I wish I knew more Spanish so they could understand Now I have a cold burrito Thanks guys. Not coming back. Not like it matters I get it. But come..... on read more

Don Zarape 2 - A cold burrito A wrong cold burrito - Mexican Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I'm SO DISAPPOINTED with the shrimp ceviche I ordered last night. It was tasteless and thrown together. It was like they opened a can of crushed tomatoes, threw the juice in a bowl, some of the tomatoes, (not enough), tried to chop up some cucumbers, added some chopped onions and avocado and then a lot of whole pieces of shrimp, with no seasoning whatsoever. Oh there was some cilantro. It was completely bland. I've had much better from Ralph's supermarket. The hard shell chicken taco had no cheese or tomatoes. Just chicken and lettuce. The lemon, cucumber, strawberry drink was delicious. read more

I went here to pick up some food ordered a milanesa con papas, a menudo and an horchata. It was pretty pricey for 3 items to be honest but I guess they gotta pay for those mariachis somehow. At the end the food was good but was way too costly for what it was in my opinion. read more

Best Mexican food in the area With a lot of flavor, good customer service and fast I always call in advance to order and I just pick up , I enjoy coming here read more

This place is disgusting. I should've known when I walked in the door. Not a single customer. I ordered an asada burritos. It was ready in 1 minute. I bit into it the food was literally room temperature. The food all tasted old and stale. The meat was hard and very dry. I threw it away after a couple bites and my stomach hurt a couple hours later. Do not buy food from here. I don't know how they're still in business. read more

The lady In the front super rude . If you ask them not to give you something they still do. Even if you are highly allergic and mentioned that to them . Wouldn't recommend at all . Highly priced for nasty food . read more

I Order The Garlic Butter Shrimp the rice and beans where supper flavorful & come with handmade tortillas the shrimp was pan seared which gave it nice crunch but flavorful bite with alot of fresh fried garlic made it to good I enjoyed my meal I took left over home nice serving size I would be back I also got an agua de Jamaica , it needed more sugar in my liking but it was so refreshing on a hot day I would definitely come back to try different food in the menu read more

Great food. I love the mole enchiladas and highly recommend them. It would be nice if they put avocados on them that hadn't very clearly gone bad and were rotten, but after removing them, they tasted great. read more

Don Zarape 2 - Spoiled avocados on great mole enchiladas. - Mexican Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Stopped by Don Zarape today for lunch with a few coworkers. Everyone here felt like family! We were greeted and seated immediately when we arrived. Tables are placed quite closely together in the restaurant but it wasn't too busy so we sat in the corner away from other tables. As we sat down, iced water, chips, and salsa were placed on the table alongside a couple menus. We ordered the wet burrito, al pastor tacos, enchiladas and a plate of half chicken with chorizo. The food arrived really quickly. Everyone was happy with their orders. I got the al pastor tacos and it tasted like their corn tortillas were made fresh. Extremely tasty. They also offer horchata and agua Fresca drinks that are ready to go. My coworkers and I are appreciative to have this gem so close to our workplace. Expect to see us there again! read more

I am very disappointed with this place. I ordered two breakfasts this morning, and the food was completely overcooked--the meat was dry, the beans were dry--and I was shocked that a breakfast plate costs $22, as if it were a high-end or more sophisticated restaurant. Im disappointed and shocked when I paid $44 for two plates, considering the place doesn't deserve it. I believe this price is more fitting for a higher-end establishment in terms of service and ambiance. I'm never coming back 0 star read more

Great food that is healthy and delicious They make wonderful caldo de pollo and veggie tacos! Its a wonderful place to eat! Thank you read more

Meat cooked over fire. Something universal that all cultures can agree upon. On the weekends, the cooks are grilling chicken, ribs, sausage, and pork outside the restaurant. The smell is tantalizing. Inside, every delicious Mexican dish you can wish for is on the menu. Birria...shrimp cocktail...tacos, burritos, and enchiladas...soups...breakfast...carnitas... fajitas... The menu is so extensive that it's too much to a Yelp. Chips, salsa, and tortillas are all fresh. Horchata is authentic and loaded with cinnamon. Service is super friendly. If you want authentic Mexican food and as a plus, have it fresh off the smoking outdoor grill...GO! read more

Don Zarape has the best grilled chicken...zummy zummy in my tummy!! Every time i drive up from San Diego to visit my daughters, I always stop by Dons for one whole grilled chicken meal with corn tortillas, rice, beans, and salsa and chips. The chicken is always juicy and tender!! The staff is amazing and always nice and pleasant. There's always many families eating at Dons and they look so happy enjoying their food. read more

Went here for pick up and we ordered their chicken barbeque first. Their grilling station outside was what made us go inside and order. We already came from the other store to pick up japanese food and we saw this guys barbecuing outside. Smeeled so good so we were tempted to try it. Theyre soooo good! I just forhot to take pucs of them coz we were really hungry that night lol! I recommend this place. read more

Came to eat at a restaurant next door Aki Shabu with my siblings but found out how expensive it was so we ate next door at Don Zarape Mexican and Seafood. What an amazing find. Rosie up. We loved the food but we are surprised how amazing the service was. A++ on service. We tried a variety of dishes but the soups are amazing! Albondigas, caldo de pollo, caldo de res all served boiling hot. We got carne Asada plate w grilled shrimp, Chile relleno plate, enchiladas, and the chips and salsa.... So good chips newly made still hot. Great presentation. We usually go to Salsa and Beer but will come here instead just for the service and great food. They have all kinds of Agua Frescas served in a margarita glass fancy... read more

Surprised by how dirty the inside is. The smells from the outside cookers are amazing but I was disappointed once I stepped inside. I will give benefit of the doubt and hope that the cleanliness issue was due to a lunch rush and they didn't have time to clean up before I arrive. One can only hope. There is also no salsa bar - another disappointment whether it's dine in or take out. They were also out of tamales. The carne asada tacos were good and the rice and beans were . . . rice and beans - nothing special. Not a good visit for my first time but I'm going to try it again, in hopes of experiencing a more favorable outcome. read more

Horrible service**** threaten manager Asked them if they had dairy in the pescado dish. I told them I can't eat butter, milk, or cheese and filled the plate with butter and cheese. I called the manager and he told me there was nothing he could do and proceed to tell me that he would me "meet me outside face to face." Never been threatened by a manager and never met a group of people that don't know what an allergy is. read more

Amazing food. So glad my girl and I found this place. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend

Great caldo de pollo and tacos. The staff are super nice and will welcome you as if you were family! Give it a try. You'll be glad you did. read more

One of my favorite mexican places in NoHo! I come here frequently and really love their veggie burrito. The place is usually not too packed and the food comes out quickly and efficiently! The staff is always quite friendly! My only critique is that, 10% of the time, I get what I call an "off burrito"--one that just isn't amazing like it usually is. This is my favorite place for a veggie burrito nonetheless because when it's on point, it's unbelievable! read more

Had the Huevos con Tocino breakfast plate. Eggs with bacon, rice, beans, and tortillas for $6.50 (tax included). The plate had a lot of food and was really fresh and good. This place also has a nice selection of seafood plates and home made Mexican dishes that range from about $9 to $11. The server was very friendly and worked fast. I will be back for lunch or dinner. read more

Writing this review because I am OUTRAGED on how the cooks or perverts outside cooking meats use verbal insults towards my wife. As we were going inside a asian restaurant, the cooks started shouting "Come in for chicken and beef". As we almost got inside the asian restaurant, one of them shouted "Arigato" First off thats not ACCEPTABLE for a racist comment. I've ate there before and its quite delicious since it has the authentic taste of Mexico especially Don Zarape # 1 location. Please train your outsides cooks, not to use comments like that ever again because my wife wasn't Japanese!!! read more
