    great marg menu & can be made NA! would love to see go brewing or athletic included in their lineup too!
    Betsy S.

    Such a fun upbeat spot! Great veggie/pescaterian options & modifications. Drinks can be made NA. Portion size was a good value & not overwhelming or wasteful. Lovely staff, great service & will be back w/friends! Looking for more local spots like this!

    Traditional margarita. Just okay.

    Zap! has some unique taco selections that definitely stray from the traditional Mexican staples found at countless of other restaurants scattered throughout the city and burbs. I remember when I was a kid, when the first Taco Bell opened in our neighborhood (yes, I'm that old), and that was everyone's first exposure to "Mexican Food". Well, we've come a long way since then, and I've learned the difference between traditional tacos, and what is often referred to as "Gringo Tacos" (lettuce, cheese & tomatoes). I would say that Zap! Taco House has elevated the gringo taco to the next level, but sometimes more variety isn't always better variety. The Red Skull & Vigilante tacos were both very good, with the Red Skull taco being the only one I would make a return trip for. The John Popper and Hot Honey Crispy Shrimp tacos were very ordinary, for lack of a better word. Not bad, just not as exciting as their descriptions suggested. The chips and salsa were fine. The margaritas were fine. There was nothing wrong with anything during our experience... the service was prompt and friendly. The place was really cool inside - with a whole comic book vibe that was well executed and really fun. I think the main issue with Zap! is that the menu descriptions and the overall cool vibe kind of overshadowed the actual taste of the food and drinks.... I really wanted the food to be as good as the place looked, and as the menu described, and it wasn't bad - per se - but it was just fine. There are many places with much better tacos closer to our home.

    We walked in and was seated right away. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was great! I had the red skull taco and a shrimp and hot honey taco. Also I had an elote. Over this place was a lot better than I expected. Very clean. And the waitresses are great. Definitely will come back when I'm in the area.

    10/10 experience. Great staff, shout out to Allie our server for being the real MVP and making great recommendations. Cool atmosphere. Burrito bowl was filling and had all the toppings. Company enjoyed the tacos, loaded fries and elotes. Margaritas were great. Will definitely be back!

    I've been here twice for lunch I really like it. You get a basket of homemade chips with salsa on the house. Very delicious. The fact that they have an extensive menu with different tacos and flavors is cool. Very tasty. I've had tacos and a bowl. My only complaint was in the bowl I was supposed to have charred corn but it wasn't charred but plain corn is fine. The restaurant has that bar/restaurant feel. Both times I was there there were two waitresses for the lunch crowd so you may have to wait a bit to be waited on but that's ok. You can also eat at the bar. The artwork is fun too. Superhero themed.

    Free chips and salsa

    This place is quickly becoming a favorite. A little small inside, but if you go before the rush it's perfect. Everything was clean. Servers are learning but very nice. Big tvs to watch different shows or sports. Chips and salsa- free and 9/10 Killer Queso- 10/10 Vigilante Tacos- 10/10 (my wife's absolute favorite) The American- 8/10. Solid choice. Fatty McGee- 10/10. I was timid as I don't generally like onion anything. Holy $hit was this amazing. Lime Margarita Frozen- 9/10

My thoughts were they have a great exhaust system. Whelp, based on my experience it wasn't a good exhaust system there's no seasoning smell because you can't smell salt. That's the ONLY SEASONING I tasted on the beans and rice. The chicken was bland and no fresh AT ALL! My quesadilla barely had cheese! Imagine a quesadilla without cheese and no cheese pull whatsoever! I'm really disappointed with choosing this restaurant for a treat night. All I can say is Play At Your Own Risk! To the cooks there's definitely room for improvement.

    #23/2024 El Cortez…read moreOnce a great spot yrs ago at its original location bringing many to Blue Island IL and it's only place However times change, neighborhoods change and they did not and closed. Was that it? No. They just moved further south about a 1/2 hr to Country Club Hills and restablished themselves They also had a older location in a very old building on Wolf Road in Orland Park Fast forward to 2024. Wolf Rd location been gone many yrs now relocated about 15 minutes south into Mokena. Reestablished themselves again CC Hills still remains. Now not located in a single building there in a strip mall at Mokena They have a little outdoor eating area but you're pretty much right there is traffic was just behind in front along the sidewalk of customers going to other buildings And it's been through its changes pretty much before and after covid. Some good some bad reviews reflect. Staffing can still be a little bit of an issue may have to wait a little bit depending on time of day and crowds. One thing that changed though for me is although it's probably been many many years until a couple of weeks ago till I returned for the first time and I returned again. The margaritas are still excellent. The food is still prepared fresh and very good as far as I'm concerned I originally came in with the folks about 2 weeks ago and had a strawberry daiquiri which was okay and a delicious carne asada. A little thinner skirt steak but the quality was good. However what dinners I give you french fries which was very unique they were very tasty. And tortillas also. Andrew usual garnish of lettuce tomato rice and beans. You have to ask for sour cream it's a little extra. Returning almost 2 weeks later passing through I decided it was Taco Tuesday let's hit it up again. I started with a large margarita 26 oz it was very good quality was good wasn't too strong but just right I also went with the three taco dinner and did two and one two corn one flour. They said that would be fine I did request no onions in the meat though they will do that by request. So the food came out and it was very good the beef was nice and fresh had little potato on it which was kind of made it unique but good. Lettuce and tomato I asked for some extra sour cream and also an extra order of refried beans cuz they're really good. Definitely will come back really enjoyed it again it's nice to know that their quality is back up to par. It was probably close to over 10 years ago when I was at the Old Wolf Road location and it was kind of hit and miss. But keep up the good work. Reviews here should be a little bit on Yelp as far as I'm concerned it was pretty crowded after dinner there when I left most people seem to be very much enjoying their food.

    Absolutely Insane. Ordered the Chicken quesadillas and there was a HUGE bone in it. Not happy.read more

My husband ordered a tea, but what they brought out definitely wasn't tea. Even the staff seemed unsure of what it actually was they knew it didn't taste right, and my husband immediately knew it wasn't what he ordered. After that, our tacos were wonderful as always, the atmosphere was great, and our server was extremely attentive and quick to respond to our concerns honestly a great server. The disappointing part came with a couple food items. I ordered the Mexican street corn appetizer and it tasted like the corn wasn't fresh and wasn't served very warm. It looked like it just had a dollop of chipotle mayo and a little cheese on top, but the corn itself felt like it had been sitting for a day or two. Our beans were also served barely at room temperature, and when the replacement beans were brought out, they were so hot it felt like they were just microwaved quickly. It just gave the impression that the kitchen maybe wasn't fully prepared for the day yet since we were one of the first customers. I really hope this was just an off visit, because we've had great experiences here before.

I loved the chicken tacos. I got mine with lettuce and tomato. And there were chips on the table that came with a saucy salsa. They also had Dr Pepper which is a major plus in my book. They would have been five stars in my eyes. But today, I came back craving tacos. I had been released from the hospital and all I wanted were these tacos. We looked up their hours on Yelp. It said they'd be open until 4. I called ahead to try to place a pickup order. I called for 15 minutes straight. No one picked up the phone. They also don't have an accurate menu anywhere listed online. All the Yelp menus are over 8 years old. Well we arrived before 4 and the door was locked. There were people inside eating and they just stared at us. It just left a bad taste in my mouth so I won't be coming back. You have hours and a phone for a reason.
