Burrito Alert I swung by Los Carnales after a long night…read moreshift, running on fumes and coffee, with a mission: breakfast burritos for the whole crew (a.k.a. my family who turns into gremlins if fed differently). I played it safe--same burrito for everyone: egg, sausage, potato, cheese. No room for debate, no sibling warfare over who got more cheese. And let me tell you--these things are MASSIVE. I'm genuinely worried one might count as a carry-on item. A very polite young man handed me the bag out the drive-thru window, and I nearly dropped it--it was so heavy I felt like I was accepting a bowling ball made of breakfast joy. They came with a ton of red and green salsa--both awesome, but the red one? Spicy, smoky, and a wake-up call to the soul. I swear I saw stars after the first bite. Yes, I waited a few minutes while they were made fresh--but you don't rush greatness. These burritos are a hug wrapped in foil. I will now be a regular. Possibly even a mascot. 10/10, would risk forearm strain again.

Returning for my second visit, this time opting for takeout. My husband opted for the soft taco…read morecombo, all el pastor, while I went for the quesadilla el rey. The el pastor was bursting with flavor, with a delightful kick that added to its appeal. Now, onto the quesadilla - what a unique treat! It was a taste sensation unlike anything I've tried before. It's like a fusion of fajitas and quesadillas, but with a twist - spinach and mushrooms took it to a whole new level of deliciousness. It's a culinary creation that left us pleasantly surprised and thoroughly satisfied.

Everything They fail multiple inspections…read more The inspector caught an employee touching raw steak, then cooked shrimp - AKA cross-contamination. Chicken and pork were at unsafe temperatures. The inspector also noticed old food in the kitchen, a dirty ice machine and grease dripping from storage shelves! In addition to all this, the inspector found evidence of cockroach activity.

Great Mexican food! We've been searching for an authentic fast food Mexican restaurant similar to…read moreour favorites in San Diego, and Erickberto's hit the mark. The carne asada burrito was fantastic. The meat was grilled perfectly any rh tortilla as so flavorful. The chili rellenos also were solid with a crisp texture and spice. Refried beans were so tasty. Cabeza taco is a must! So tender abd flavorful. The taco was large and packed with meat. Can't wait to have again. The enchilada's were okay. There was not a lot of flavor in the sauce. I love trying enchilada sauces, but this one missed the mark. Having breakfast burritos next time at Erickberto's!!!

I wanted to like Zapata. I really, truly did. I had faith in my comrades who had reviewed here…read morebefore me, faith that they would surely not steer me wrong. But I was let down pretty terribly. Excitement was high as we ordered a Pastor Burrito, Birria, Chorizo, and Pastor Tacos, and Zapata fries. The fries were cold. I don't know how it was too hard to warm up some premade fries, but it managed to happen. The one part of the fries that was good was the pork. And I still wasn't blown away. It really seems like they just can't find a happy medium, because the fries were cold but most of the meats were cooked crematorium-style. I mean, absolutely burnt to a crisp. I also just don't know how hard it is to mess up a good chorizo, but it managed it happen. My Birria Taco was luckily pretty good, but I was just severely disappointed by everything else. Nothing stood out as being especially good-decent, even, in most cases. And we didn't even get any chips to go with our large assortment of salsas. What the heck, man. The pork bumped this review up to two stars, and the pricing was decent, but we still had to spend an extra $20 at a nearby gas station to get the taste of overcooked meat and sadness out of our mouths. I'm not sure how it got this far on Yelp, but I'm going to be the person to say that Zapata may have been the biggest culinary disappointment in my year so far. No wonder, considering the meat tastes like it's been forgotten in the fiery depths of a bonfire for weeks too long.

First of all, the food is good usually. Sometimes it can be better because I've had better there…read more However, over all it is goid food. So this isn't a food review. It is a review of one employee who runs the register, younger girl. She never really listens to what you fully order, she just quick to punch numbers. Her attitude towards customers is not friendly nor professional. She acts as if you are bothering her by ordering food. Which is her job to do. So why give attitude? If she doesn't want to be there, leave! Just makes the experience bad when have to deal with someone who acts like they are bothered by you and ignores you when you're being polite. Do better!

We'd had Asian food in the Denver airport (City Wok) for lunch, and as there didn't seem to be many other restaurant options aside from fast food, Mexican, or Asian restaurants in the Colorado Springs Gooogle results, we went with Mexican. This place is AWESOME! The girl who served us was friendly and helpful, especially considering that it was New Year's Eve. My husband ordered the Super Burrito (with steak, chicken, and pork), and I ordered Carnitas (with corn tortillas and black beans instead of refried). The food was incredibly flavorful and exceeded both our expectations. Even the chips & salsa were delicious! I would definitely come here again; I am sad they don't have a place like this in our hometown. Two thumbs up!

We placed our order…read moreand it took a while to come, this is a good sign because it indicates the food is being made fresh. Thankfully we had chips and salsa unfortunately when a waiter/waitress would walk by, they would not refill unless we asked. We enjoyed our meals but I was a little unsure about the customer service, when I asked the waitress for some additional salsa, I saw "that look" which one does not appreciate, not sure if it bothered her that I asked for a couple other things or they are stingy on giving out more salsa? Regardless, this does affect once experience, not sure if we would ever come back!
