Zapote in City of London, Westminster

Outstanding menu - mostly small and sharing dishes. Every dish executed perfectly. The vegetable dishes will totally change your perspective on what can be achieved with the basics. Service excellent too. Ate a lot meal for £60 a head including drinks. Would have paid more

Absolutely fabulous meal. The menu and of choices is spot on and it’s very good for sharing with friends. Staff friendly and helpful too!

The food and service were amazing. Our server provided some excellent recommendations, which were spot on. We loved the tuna dish and the chicken croquettes, but all the dishes we selected were delicious. Very relaxed restaurant with great ambience.

Fine. Food good but ridiculously overpriced. Don’t go if you’re hungry. Service good. Overall, underwhelming.

This isn't your standard cheese-beef-and-beans Mexican restaurant. The food at Zapote is wonderfully inventive, flavourful and delicious. The menu consists mainly of small-ish plates which you are encouraged to share, but be warned, you will not want to share. I have had dinner here 3 times (so far) and there is nothing I wanted to share! My favourite dish is the Tuna andCrab Tostada, though the Chargrilled Sweetcorn and Anchovy Tostada is also delicious. The Crispy Baby Artichoke is a winner too, and the guacamole (starter) is the best I've ever had. The service is impeccable, not only timely but also friendly and helpful. The space is pleasant but noisy. It is all hard surfaces, so when the restaurant fills up it is cacophonous. The prices are reasonable - about £55 per head with 3 dishes each, draft beers, margaritas, and guacamole.

My colleagues and I visited yesterday on the recommendation of some people we got chatting to at The Botanist nearby. Service was excellent, all of the dishes were outstanding and arrived quickly. The suckling pig and the spicy chorizo were probably my favourites. The only one I didn’t really enjoy was the cauliflower but that’s personal taste. Will definitely return when I get an opportunity.

Amazing food with so much taste. Two of us had a number of dishes and all but one were out of this world. The only one that didn't quite hit the mark was the charred cauliflower with almond mole and black truffle. The suckling pig was one of the best things we've ever tasted. Expensive cocktails, but the classic margarita was very good. Service was excellent and friendly. Zapote deserves to be packed every night, and if we lived in London it would be a regular haunt for us.

Unbelievable flavours - this is possibly the most amazing meal I have ever experienced. We had the tuna and crab, the shockingly good skewers, but the stars of the show for us were the sweet potatoes which are out of this world in terms of flavour, and the suckling pig served with superb tortillas and a delicious sauce. We also really enjoyed the pig skin which is a Mexican version of pork scratchings with one heck of a spicy sauce. We loved it all. Best meal ever. We will be back. Muchas gracias a todo.

Enjoyed a varied menu of fine dining style small plates. The waitress helpfully recommended some stand out dishes, including the tuna toastada, octopus and melt in the mouth slow cooked one tongue tortillas. Finished with the perfect combo of pistachio doughnut with cherry jam.

We all loved the food if a little small on the portion side, flavour makes up for it and some really cool and interesting combinations. Staff are fantastic and really accommodating. Prices for food, beer and wine are reasonable but £12 a shot for the 'house' tequila is a bit of a pisstake!

Exactly the place that we needed in Shoreditch! A Mexican restaurant with posh look, relaxed atmosphere, fun staff and the most whetting and tasty tacos I have ever eaten in London. Ideal for every occasion. When I got the menu I was really tempted to take one each of what was on it , as the variety is amazing. In the end, however, I did manage to order at least half of the tacos that were on the menu including: ox tongue, suckling pig, guineafowl, lamb, beef tartare, yellowfin tuna and also aubergine and corn. Everything accompanied with towering tortillas. I really couldn’t tell which one I preferred, as I was mostly impressed by the different combination and original food-sauce pairing. The staff is also very friendly and caring. People like Rocío enhanced our experience as we felt catered for the whole time and with a smile. They also offered us the dessert and they wrote “Tanti Auguri” on it as it was my birthday. Will sure come back!

Phenomenal food and service with the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Great vibe in the restaurant and extremely reasonably priced as well. Looking forward to returning.

Relaxed, cool, unpretentious…and superb! The food is Michelin star standard, truly. Every element, finessed with in an inch of perfection…wonderful. Thank you!!!

We were blown away by the quality, flavours and price (very good value for the amount and quality) at Zapote. Lovely atmosphere. Some dishes were so good we instantly reordered some. Highly recommend the artichoke and barbacoa lamb
