About Zapata: A Flavorful Journey Since 2004

At the heart of our story is the culinary dream of Adolfo and Angelica Godinez, ignited in 2004. Their vision was simple yet profound: to create a haven of authentic Mexican cuisine, meticulously crafted from scratch, and to weave an inviting tapestry where diverse souls could gather to savor an unforgettable dining adventure.

Step into Zapata, and you'll be instantly transported to the vibrant streets of Mexico. Every corner exudes the warmth of a Mexican fiesta, with vivid hues that infuse the atmosphere with energy, setting the stage for an exceptional gastronomic voyage.

Here at Zapata, our menu dances with a symphony of flavors to cater to every palate. Whether you're a devoted vegetarian, a passionate vegan, or an eager omnivore, our diverse offerings have something to enchant your taste buds.

But that's not all – our bar is a spirited sanctuary. More than 20 tequila brands, bespoke margaritas that embody creativity, and an ever-evolving repertoire of traditional seasonal concoctions, every sip is a celebration of Mexican libations.

Zapata isn't just a restaurant; it's a cherished tradition for celebrations. When the occasion calls for joyous festivities, be it a birthday bash or a special rendezvous, Zapata stands as the beloved choice of Rockland and Bergen counties.

And for those envisioning a grand fiesta, our catering expertise transforms events into unforgettable memories, where laughter and shared moments become the centerpiece.

At Zapata, we're not just a restaurant; we're a mosaic of experiences. We are the symphony of laughter, the canvas for celebrations, and the sanctuary of flavors that unite us all. Join us as we continue to craft moments that linger on your palate and in your heart.
