Very unique and flavorful twists on traditional Mexican dishes. We were a party of 6 and not one person left anything on their plate. We had an 8 year old with us and they offer 3 selections of quesadillas or soft tacos for kids, served with beans and watermelon. It was quite loud and difficult to talk in the larger dining area, but not a big issue for such great food.

This was our second visit. We ate a bit earlier than last time and I was much happier with our seating location. The food and drinks were perfect and the waitress was pleasant and attentive.

The service was great and server knowledgeable. The menu full of interesting options for all kinds of diners. Two of us had two appetizers, two cocktails and split two entrees which they generously divided into two separate plates for us. The portions were more than adequate but the food just missed the mark by being tasty and serviceable instead of exemplary. At about $50 per person I think it was more than reasonable. I would still return to try some other options!

Went on Easter. Brunch wasn't as good as the first time in early March. Bacon was cold, not as crispy and had to be sent back. Flavors were still amazing. My friend had the French toast. She liked it but it didn't satisfy her. Server was SO nice! Although, the food seemed rushed and a little chilly, I won't sway from thinking this is by far one of Portlands best restaurants.

We were really looking forward to our dinner at Zapoteca. The dinner started out well with our guacamole, it was delicious as were the chips. However my watermelon margarita was quite disappointing, tasting almost bitter, with virtually no taste of watermelon and a drink I would never order again. Our entrees were again, disappointing. I don't know the specific complaints of my friend, but she didn't enjoy the chicken mole and I had the crab and shrimp enhilada, which had a sweet taste to it that didn't sit well in an savory entree. Otherwise it was bland and not very appetiizing. We both had the banana bread pudding, which was divine, but was not enhanced by the tequila, eiter make it flambe, or leave off the tequila entirely.

The food and service were outstanding, however the noise level was beyond acceptable. It was difficult to hold a conversation with the person next to me and virtually impossible with the people across the table. It was a bit disappointing in that regard since the food, drinks, and service were all so good.

We started off in the bar, which was extremely crowded. We had to stand at the end in a corner to stay out of the way of the staff.
The drinks were wonderful and the bar staff super friendly and over the top accommodating. The watermelon margarita was wonderful, but spicy. Our party was seated promptly at 7:30. We had the mussels (great but serving size a bit small) and the guacamole (again very small portion). Both of these dishes were tasty. The meals were very good. I had the ribs, wow did I hit the meal of the night. Super tender and full of flavor. Like everyone else says, it was expensive evening. We spent about $300 for 4 people with drinks and meals.
