Finding a parking spot was a bit of a mission, I almost parked right in front but didn't want to block anyone, so I snagged a spot further back. When I went in, the horchata de cafe caught my eye it sounded amazing! It was good, but honestly, a little pricey for what it was. The Birria queca, though? Totally worth it! I also grabbed a steak taco, a chorizo taco, and an al pastor taco all decent, but again, the prices were a little higher than I expected. I also tried a steak gordita, which was okay.The music inside was really cool when I walked in, and the service was great. Overall, tasty food, but be prepared to open your wallet a bit wider!

Not only were the proportions great everything was so flavorful. Steak was more of a taco meat type of steak, but it was delicious. The beans had a smokiness to them. Everything was honestly AMAZING! I would order it over and over again. Also, I've had the burritos and tacos- never had a bad meal here. I would recommend it to anybody in the area!

It comes with fries inside, but I has them put them on the side. The steak and shrimp were good. However, barely any steak or shrimp inside the burrito. I did like the crisp on the outside.

Chips and salsa were complimentary at the start of the meal. Before you come after me for looking a gift horse in the mouth: Chips & Salsa aren't technically free, the cost is baked into the meal on the back-end. That said, the quality of these was subpar. The chips were straight out of a bag, the the salsa resembled a thick tomato juice with stuff added more than something deserving the name "salsa." I also did not love the Margarita, for it was too sweet for my taste. I can't say for sure, but I have the unfounded suspicion that these are pre-made in large quantities. The main event was the Steak Diablo Burrito. True to form, the Diablo sauce brought the heat. If you are one for whom Tabasco sauce is at the upper end of your limits, you might want to skip this one. My heat tolerance is such that I needed a little extra water, not a side-order of sour cream. The filling did not skimp on the meat whatsoever, and the protein was tender to boot. While not 'S' tier, I would put it solidly in 'B' territory, with a pinky toe into 'A'. A good test is that I couldn't finish, and happily devoured it cold the next day. The interior is large, and has mostly amber lighting with splashes of color, and some traditional-looking architectural elements. The service was friendly and reasonably fast. Final verdict: If you're itching for a great burrito, while perhaps not the greatest one in the world, La Mex can deliver. However, This comes at a cost of a too-sweet Margarita and chips and salsa leave something to be desired. Recommended? Yes, as a general-purpose Mexican spot. Would Return? Yes, but would skip chips, salsa, and margs.

This is a no-frills, mom-and-pop type taco place that is pretty humble and possesses little to no ambiance, but I have always maintained that the best Mexican food does not come from a high end type restaurants with incredible ambiance, but rather the best Mexican food comes from these little hole-in-the-wall type joints. Taqueria El Zarape just reinforces this long-standing theory of mine. Taqueria El Zarape offers a great menu, but I went with the tacos and the tacos were definitely a great choice here at Taqueria El Zarape. The tacos are definitely stellar and something that I would definitely recommend. All in all, Taqueria El Zarape is a great choice if you are in Joliet, Illinois and are in the mood for Mexican food. If you do go and are a fan of tacos, you cannot go wrong with the tacos here.
