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!

I walked…read morein to order and the woman acted like she understood me and when I got home and opened the bag the order was completely wrong!! I wanted taquitos they charged me for tacos. wtf!!?! I called to talk to someone and the person who took my order answered the phone. I explained the issue she says " no speak English" really??? I asked where the manager was. She said no manager coming 1 or more. wtf does that mean ?? One or more??? It's 240pm lady!! So then some man gets on the phone. I ask him " do you speak English" he responds " a little bit" wtf. So he tells me he doesn't understand me either. I just hung up and called my bank. Once it posts I'm getting my money back. These people are ripping people off and claiming ignorance.

I knew we made the right decision because there was a sign saying "half price house margaritas," say less. Before we sat down, a gentleman brought us 2 salsas and chips and took our drink order. The margarita was good, and the chips and salsa were better. We decided to get a meal to share so we ordered: Carne a la Tampiqueña $18.50 1/2 portion of skirt steak alone with two cheese enchiladas poblanas, sour cream and guacamole. The steak was cooked perfect and tasty, and the red sauce on the enchiladas was fantastic mixed with anything on the plate. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the enchiladas were just cheese or I just didn't see or taste poblano. It was very, very good and the service was friendly. I will go back for sure.

Taqueria El Zarape is a fantastic place for tacos and other Mexican favorites I'm the Joliet,…read moreIllinois area. 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.
