Really tasty burrito! I was with two buddies, and we each got the same thing - Big Boy Burrito…read more That & a bottle of beer was CHF20. Really not bad for this expensive town. Don't be scared off by their "Ring of Fire" sauce. Not too spicy for us three Americans, since we're a bit more accustomed to picante, being Norteamericanos. Nice bright decor, in a newer development about 20 min via train from the Hauptbahnhof. Lots of space, and the toilets are tres chic. We ended up staying about 2 1/2 hours chatting, and the owner (as well as his employees) were exceptionally cordial. He told us he worked in finance in Zurich for seven years, then felt he should do something legal. ¡I'm definitely returning to Zapote!

Oh yes! Zapote has been said to have the best burritos in town, and while I don't agree that…read morethey're exactly *in town*, they certainly have some of the most awesomest burritos I have ever tasted in ZH! My husband and I came here after a friend recommended the place. They have a huge array of different burritos and burrito bowls, all of them customizable. I had the chicken salad, which is essentially a burrito salad but a little lighter and my husband had a gaucho burrito, with beef and bacon. Both dishes were incredibly delicious. The salad featured a peanut dressing and fresh guacamole and the burrito a generous helping of meat and barbeque sauce. Soooo good! I like that they offer healthier alternatives in addition to the staple burritos and the restaurant is so nice and open. In addition, the staff is very patient, helpful and upbeat. It was a thoroughly good experience. Another reviewer wrote that they were a little like subway. I don't like this comparison because Zapote's ingredients are actually really fresh, their staff is upbeat and knowledgeable and their food is actually tasty. A small problem for me is the location, which is really not easy to get to and their opening times. They only open from 11 to 15 o'clock and are closed on the weekends. Basically, they only open for the lunch crowd. Their delivery radius is also not extended enough that they could actually deliver into the city which is a bit of a bummer. I guess I now have more reasons to go to Wallisellen more frequently :)

It's like, by the train station, but you have to walk a little ways in a diagonal fashion. What am I saying? Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, the food is good. I definitely love Mexican food, but will admit I've had better Mexican food in Zurich, and for a better price. But I am always thankful for a Mexican restaurant in Europe! The waitress that we had was absolutely lovely.

I've spent months in Switzerland now and one thing that's been lacking was not just good Mexican,…read morebut even elevated Mexican. El Alebrije does both, and the passion is seen everywhere. Their menu is smaller, but it has the necessities and you can't go wrong. The drink menu is top notch and the cocktails are amazing. I was also fortunate to a stop by and an odd slow night and had some time with Miguel, the owner, and got to hear the story of how the place came to be and got a tour as well. It's going to.

The people working here are very friendly and attentive. The cocktails are fantastic. I was really impressed with them! And the jalapeño margarita is freaking spicy, but yummy. So, the food was good, but I wasn't completely blown away. We ordered the vegetarian tacos, and the stuffed poblano pepper with vegetarian filling. We came here with some good friends and they ordered the same, except with meat. Funnily enough, my husband accidentally got the poblano pepper with meat, and didn't realise it until he ate half and I had a taste. What an absolute goob... some "vegetarian". But I digress. I really appreciate how much care they give to their customers and I do love their cocktails. Their food is very expensive for what we ate. Yes, we only had vegetarian (sort of... haha) so maybe the meat options are a bit tastier. In the end, we had a lovely evening.

So, when I was done doing my other errand, I popped in and was pleasantly surprised. I was immediately greeted warmly and asked if I needed any help. I told them that I'd just like to look around. The shop is split into the grocery side and the gift/decor side. I happened to be much more interested in the grocery side. It's small but it has a lot... a lot more than I'd found anywhere in Europe in the almost 9 years I've been here. Tomatillos (almost impossible to find in my searches)... fresh and canned, some good quality tequilas, hand/homemade goodies of all sorts. I bought some chips and tamales and I'm really looking forward to trying them. My wife is jealous that I got to go but she didn't... therefore, I know that we'll be back soon.

Another great place in Oerlikon, very close to Chayenne and with quite similar food (Mexican…read moreprofile) is Tres Amigos. I think the fact that these two very similar restaurants are so close to eachother and still manage to be full almost every nice in a suburb of Zurich is an indication that they do indeed serve good stuff :) One advantage over Chayenne is that they serve food all day long, even between lunch time and dinner time (Chayenne only serves snacks then). We visited the place twice. Once we ordered fajitas and it was just enough for two people and the other time I ordered a chicken burrito (it was huge), while my boyfriend had something like beef with lemon and tequila sauce. I liked the food every time and will definitely go back. Prices are high, but that's Zurich... P.S: great Apfel strudel as well :)

They offer a different menu but are just as tasty. 2. We were craving burritos but opted for tacos and quesadillas so we could try multiple meats, including carne asada, pollo asado, carnitas, al pastor, and camarones. We initially ordered 2 tacos and 2 quesadillas (on the smaller side) but everything was so good, we couldn't not order a round 2. 3. Prices here are a bit high, but it was worth it especially since we haven't had tacos and quesadillas in awhile. 4. Highly recommend!
