Great little bar and restaurant near downtown Loreto. It was right next to our AirBnB, so we stopped in every day of our trip. They were open every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was never too busy except for Saturday when there was some great live music. It is a slower time in Loreto though, and it was very hot outside. It's all open with no AC, but there are a lot of fans to keep the air moving.
We loved the decor. Such a fun, but laidback vibe. The swing seats along the outside were a cute touch as well. Everything seemed clean and taken care of as well.
For the food - they had tacos and burritos, along with apps and ceviche. We never had breakfast there, but it looked to be a good variety. We tried fish tacos, carne asada tacos, shrimp ceviche, and chips and guac. With tacos you got a great little carrier with different toppings like salsa and pickled onions. We got the ceviche and guac twice and both were fresh and flavorful. Chips are super thick and crunchy.
The drinks were are favorite part! The margaritas and mezcalitas were perfect! They had just the right balance of sweet and sour, and I never left feeling like I was sick on sugar. They had a lot of margarita flavor options as well. I had the jalapeño one. Had a good amount of spice without overtaking the flavor. They had a good assortment of beers, and of course lots of tequila and mezcal options.
Most of the servers were very nice. They don't speak much English, so be prepared if you don't speak Spanish. Everything is pretty simple to order though, so we didn't usually have trouble.
Upon leaving our last day, we stopped one more time for lunch. One of the guys there was also nice enough to help call us a cab to the airport. Once we got home, we were already missing being able to stop at Zapata on our way back to the AirBnB. If we are back in Loreto again, we will definitely be back to Zapata! read more
