Los Zarapes Mexican Restaurant 8781 Auburn Folsom Road, Granite Bay, CA 95746

"The carnitas burrito and plate are amazing. I'm one of those people who value great refried beans...these were well seasoned and cooked in chicken stock. Great service rounded out our amazing visit."

"Los Zarapes Mexican restaurant recently changed ownership. It's a family run business with multiple generations working there. They treat their customers like family, exuding a welcoming family vibe. They serve up traditional Mexican comfort food done right. The unassuming restaurant is tucked inside a strip mall in Granite Bay. I ordered borrego which is a marinated lamb shank. I never had borrego before. I've had lamb shank, just not borrego. So I was excited to try it. The plate also came with refried beans, rice, tortillas, and a bowl of the sauce that the lamb was braised in. $19.99. The sauce had a strong, deep flavor replicating the flavors of the shank. The shank had a strong gamey flavor as expected. I enjoyed it. The meat was tender and fork shreddable. Mmm. An added bonus was that on the weekends, they serve housemade tortillas. Fresh off the press. They make both corn and flour. I was able to ask for a half and half order. They had a classic, home made taste and look. They provide complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was darn tasty. Hubs ordered the crispy shredded beef taco plate. Of course, I took a bite of the taco. Not bad at all. Hubs and I popped in for lunch on a recent weekend. The place was popping. So much so, folks had to wait for a table. We lucked out and just beat the crowd. The two waitresses were busy. Our waitress was fantastic. She had a bright smile and personality. But with a full house, she was a constant whirl of energy and stretched a bit thin. She mentioned that since they opened, they have been gradually getting busier."

"Los Zarapes is a fantastic restaurant! The food and service is fantastic. The owners Ana and Mauro are kind and provide perfect service! My grandparents brought me and my spouse here and I was amazed by their treatment and truly compassionate care for them. And the food is amazing! They go above and beyond!"

"I came here with my family of 8 and we were all very impressed! The food was excellent with a very expansive menu. I got the taco salad and it was hard to put my fork down! The service was really good and Anna was funny and very nice to talk to. I will absolutely be coming back and would recommend it to anyone."

"I saw the “Under New Management” banner and walked in on the Friday before Christmas. Quite a few tables occupied luckily I was seated immediately. Extensive menu but I chose lunch #3 that totally filled me up which was my intention before next going grocery shopping. 1 ⭐️ for being a family run restaurant, multiple generations were on site offering efficient friendly service along with good food."
