My meal was full of flavor, super delicious! I had the Peruvian Chicken Kabob meal...so yummy. They started us out with yummy chips & salsa as well. Cute place. The service was excellent, too.
Was my 1st time there. Took the waitresses' suggestions & ordered Cuban Pork Chops. So good, I asked for a second hot salsa. It's very tasty but still not hot.
I will go back. Thank you for the good service!
Very good tasting food the staff was great. Food was out fast and they have a huge menu a lot to choose from.
I googled restaurants near my hotel and found Zarate’s. Went. Glad I did. I had the Cuban Pork Chops and the marinade used was so unique and tasty. I would get it again.
My co-worker got the gigantic burrito…biggest I have ever seen. The picture doesn’t give you the scope of size. It was served on an oval platter! I had a taste and it was amazing too.
And the service was great. We were greeted right when we walked in. And that was just the beginning. We got chips with salsa AND queso as well.
I have just scratched the surface. Here is what I know. You go…you won’t be disappointed.
Oh, I had the best flan I ever tasted! Yes, best.
I will come back
Yes, they have Mofongo!
And fried Yucca, both are a little hard to find here in the land of the chicken fried steak. When I find mofongo, I eat it!
What makes Zarate's Latin Mexican Grill stand out is the uniqueness of having a good varied Mexican menu along with Latin American menu items. We ate here in 2016 and really enjoyed the Brazilian BBQ Chicken & Shrimp. South American food is not on every street corner in Oklahoma. Although, limited we have found several good restaurants; this is one. Anyway, it was time for a return visit and a quick run to Edmond.
They start the meal with thin crisp tortilla chips, a very good mild salsa and queso. It you like heat ask for their hotter salsa. It will go well with whatever you order and help to bring the heat level up a little. My wife had the Tamale Honduran Banana Leaf. White rice, black beans and a tamale make up this meal. There was little or no seasoning on the rice and beans and mild spices in the tamale. She really liked it. I tasted of the beef in the tamale and it did have a good flavor.
I can’t pass up the mofongo, so I went for the Mofongo with Shrimp. It is a good sized meal with a mound of mofongo, a few fried plantains, and a dozen shrimp smothered in a sauté of chopped tomato, tomato sauce and onions. It is not spicy or hot. I was a little disappointed in the mofongo. I expected the fried crushed plantains, with chicharrones (or bacon) and garlic to stand out. It had a nice crunch to it, but was lacking in flavor, I think it was just some tostones that had been mashed up into a little pile. After I dumped the remaining hot sauce all over the plate it turned out to be a pretty good meal!
It is a clean restaurant with good service, and it is above average!
If you are looking for other Mexican restaurants in the area, check out my reviews in my collection "Jalapeno Highway" on Yelp. I've probably been there.
The food and service is absolutely amazing!! The waiter was very friendly and accommodating! They kept the drinks, chips, and queso coming :) The food was hands down to die for. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend Zarate’s to ALL of my friends and family!! A++
Second time coming to Zarate’s and it was better than we remembered. There’s a great range of Latin American dishes that are all full of flavor. The meats are perfectly seasoned and so tender. We had excellent service as well. We were unexpectedly ID’d when we asked to order drinks (a pleasant surprise lol). My wife didn’t have hers so we were denied the drinks. We actually appreciate their integrity in doing so. This is now one of our favorite restaurants in the OKC metro area.
Big international menu. Mixed bag of very good and not great. Individual experiences w authentic cuisines from these countries will be key to whether or not you'll enjoy this restaurant.
Puerto Rican menu items were far off from what I enjoyed in many, many trips to PR. Peruvian dishes felt the closest to authentic and were terrific. The staple, black beans, just weren't tasty in any of our plates. My tilapia is on the menu as "grilled" and it arrived w some wet breading on it and fried.
I wanted to love this place, but I didn't. Dinner for 2 adults and 2 kids no drinks, came to $73+ tip. With all the local options, we likely won't return.
