Excellent food, only real Mexican food in northern Michigan. Prices are about the same or lower than other Restaurants in Mackinaw City, but higher quality and fresh ingredients. Great friendly service. Convenient access to I-75. The building is a former Burger King with plenty of seating, clean an comfortable. It's not the Grand Hotel, but in my opinion the best food in Mackinaw City.

Unique restaurant to the area and open in the off-season! Reminiscent of the food I've had in Cozumel and Cancun. With food allergies, it's hard to eat out. Tim and the guys in back worked hard to make sure I could eat something. I ended with tacos: chicken and steak. They went out of their way to give me a dish of freshly cut lettuce, cilantro, onion, and lime so that there was no allergen cross contamination from tomatoes or dairy in the taco bar. Amazing service! My husband had the L.P. Burrito. It was tremendous and a perfect size. Fantastic food, more authentic Mexican than most "tex-mex" places we've visited. Just so good!

Great food! The Al Pastor tacos are my favorite! I'd post a picture of the food, but it's so good I can't wait and I just eat it. The guacamole sauce I could literally drink it's so good. Excited to see what other food options they bring! Great to have an authentic style Mexican restaurant in the north. I recommend it to everyone that stops by my place of business along with friends and family. With I could give more than 5 stars to be honest!

Real Food! If you find joy in experiencing great eats, then you must have El Zarape on your list. Taste and quality are satisfactory here.The LP burrito was a great introduction for what El Zarape offers. The Toppings bar provided the extra authentic taste to the meal. Meats were cooked perfectly.Tim and his staff helped me navigate the menu and lined me up with an excellent meal.A blessing for this area.Thank you

I had an incredible dining experience at the Mexican Restaurant in Mackinac Island. The food was not only delicious but also authentically Mexican, reminding me of the flavors I love. The service was impeccable, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was charming. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Mackinac Island for a taste of Mexico in a beautiful setting!

I really like this place. Very authentic, but not very spicy... I did not like having to fight with children and families at the salsa bar!!! So much stuff you might want to add- But people get stupid and seem to take forever, dawdling over the choices...

Great food and service! When you are in Mackinaw City or just driving through, this is a must stop for great food with reasonable prices and fast service. I had the chicken, steak and chorizo tacos, they were all excellent and they did not skimp on the meat or flavor! The salsa bar is an amazing feature to customize your order and satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. We will definitely be back!Kid-friendliness: Kids can customize their tacos to satisfy the picky eaters!

Got the chicken Quesadilla which was AMAZING! Probably one of the best if not the best Quesadilla I’ve had. Well worth the money paid. Service was good, extremely friendly. Looking forward to my next trip North for round two with another quesadilla.

I love Mexican street tacos and those served here are delicious! For people who prefer Americanized tacos, flour tortillas are available and the toppings bar offers all of the familiar toppings. The pico de gallo is fresh and tasty and there are a variety of fresh salsas available.The dining area is spacious and clean.
