Lorraine SDecember 24, 2014Tuesday is ALL YOU CAN EAT TACOS for only 88¥!! And they are pretty good - buffet style. And for 30¥ u can get unlimited margaritas or Carlsberg. Pretty good Tuesday night for just 118¥!
- Lester AmaraNovember 9, 2018Yes, Zapata's does serve good Tex-Mex, and in addition is a great dive bar to shake a leg! Great place for Shisha, margaritas and pinacoladas. Open till 2.30 am on weekdays and 5 am on weekends.
Maggie WalshAugust 20, 2016Omg this place got a makeover! Love it!! On a cool night I can't wait to come here in the fall!! Outdoor seating is so nice.
M.A. FMay 6, 2016So fun especially during ladie's night. Ideal if you like dancing on a bar and drinking tequila from the bottle.
Douglon TseNovember 7, 2015One of my guilty places to go to. Trashy top 40 music, but a fun place to go with friends
Zapata's is unique for a few reasons. The foremost is the good mix of Chinese and foreigners being able to interact indoors as well as a nice outdoor area. Second is the famous bar top dancing.
Awesome outdoor seating, good food and drinks. They should focus on service instead of creating foursquare specials though. Around 15 min to get the menu and place order, and 15 min to get it...
Allen AugustAugust 14, 2015Nice night spot or day. Courtyard approved but autumn or early spring for better outdoor climate. But you know if you ain't in Mexico or Texas well it's just food. Good dance bar
Monica KittJuly 4, 2012You get some creepy men showing up for prosties/staring at young girls dancing on the bar, but if you're our for a old time and ignore that, Zaps is definitely a fun spot! Find Jackie for hookah!
IanJuly 12, 2012Loads of different people here. Young and old. Anything goes, relaxed atmosphere. Good for a night out with mates and getting silly. Don't take yourself too seriously! Its meant to be a laugh.
Anqqqi C.👾March 16, 2013Nice atmosphere around 11pm. The dance floor occupies its whole grand.But they're like playing the trendy songs without any remix. Great place to get warmed up before parties.
Amaury HamonJuly 17, 2013For all users who wish to get their free drinks with the special offer between 9 and 11 pm . Managers just don't give a shit and serve you an ice cream in a glass. Impressive level of custom service!
Be careful when they serve free tequila coz someone can be so cheap to get it , jump on your feet and smash it just for free tequila . Sorry to say but all of those are foreigners ..
the wednesday ladie's night is the original one in SH. but very weird fulled with latin old ppl...but the mex-tex is good at daytime.
Zapata'sMay 4, 2015Cinco De Mayo Party on Tuesday with all you can eat Taco's for 88rmb and freeflow Beer or Margaritas for 50rmb extra
If you can snag a table outside on a quiet night drinks are 20rmb cheaper than at neighboring Sasha's.
Van Nguyen LeSeptember 19, 2015Margaritas are strong, mojito is weak, music is okay, nice space but if only there was less drunk old pervs itd be much better experience
Ksenia NurmukhamedovaApril 26, 2013Of course they changed time of free margarita, price not so high, but to tell the truth , dont like atmosphere, not so good service! Most of people today 40 years old. Young people, where a u?;)
mariane MarianeAugust 9, 2011Free drinks for girls and boys on monday from 10 to 11 ;) then free tequila shot every hours!
Erik SpencerOctober 13, 2010Good little bbq pit outside for late night quesidillas. I suggest the beef. :)
Louise BouckaertSeptember 16, 2013Free margaritas till 12! Watch out for drunk chinese who can't handle it!
Alex DobyanAugust 25, 2015Outdoor vibe is nice. Service is much better at the bar. Music inside is mostly shit.
Cynthia QianNovember 14, 2011Quesidillas and tacos are good. Take advantage of 1 for 1 during happy hour!
- Zapata'sApril 10, 2014Zapata's 10th Anniversary celebrations! Tonight is comedy night with headliner Butch Bradley!
Avoid contact with Russian guard... Eastern coldness at peak!
Dunas KalyavovaMay 26, 2013Don't order Zapata's nachos- not the best one in the city. Chimichanga is good one.
