I did not have a great experience here. In fact it was awful. I came in attempted to place a order for a steak quesadilla and double cheeseburger combo with a axxess card (buy one get one free). The lady who was cashiering informed me it did not work for the combo, no big deal I just changed it to just the burger with the quesadilla, no fries or drink since there soda machine was broken anyways. She then attempts to ring me up but vastly overcharges me so I go over the order with her again and the fact we are using the card. She then rings me up (while being very rude this whole time) and I show her the cash that it is wrong, she then realizes it is and gets more upset as she has to open the register and re-ring the order. No idea why she was being rude, not my fault she cannot do math or use a register legally to begin with. At this point I receive change, however it was incorrect. I pull aside to do the math as it was apparent she refused to ring me up properly and honestly. I did not receive a receipt with this order that was placed on 9/24/17 at around 5:30. When I did the math she charged me 11.42 for this order of a quesadilla and supposedly free burger. The prices stated on the menu are $6.29 for the quesadilla and $3.69 for the burger in question. So how did I get charged more then both of them with tax while using a axxess card? When I picked up the food and confronted her she was dumbfounded and had nothing to say, she was fine with stealing. I fully broke down the math for her as she was so clueless including the sales tax. By this time I am running late back to the job site, I leave and when I arrive so we can tear into our meals at least we find that they came out incorrect as well. I did not receive cheese on the cheese burger...and the quesadilla was loaded with fatty pieces of meat..what was sadder is how they do not include anything with the quesadilla, no sour cream or anything. If you care about ethics and integrity avoid this place. As stuff as basic as using a cash register legally and not under delivering on orders escapes them.

Raul and his team at El Zarape were one of our favorite vendors to work with on our wedding day. The food was AMAZING, the prices were great, and the service was above and beyond our expectations! From our very first meeting, Raul was incredibly helpful, informative, and so fun to work with. He walked us through every detail and was prepared for everything from setup to clean up. When plans changed last minute, he was flexible and accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious, warm, and well presented. Our family and friends are still talking about the great food and drinks, and my husband and I can’t say enough about how thankful we are for such incredible service. Raul is our favorite caterer to recommend for your next event!

My first reaction to my first bite of their California burrito was "uh oh, chipotle is better". A lot of rice and a lot of beans packed into their large burritos. The burritos weren't bad, but they weren't anything special. Aka, they were edible, but it stopped being good at around 4 bites.

Bomb lengua burrito and chk taquitos! Looks like lengua was diced to small-ish bites an given a little fry of love for a nice tiny crunch on top of slow-cooked perfection before rolling up in killer beans, rice onions cilantro. Taquitos had perfect fry texture, not over or under, chicken seasoned really well; not yer typical bland chicken taquito meat. First time, and will be back. Lived in SB only a few years but still on the best burrito hunt. This place ranks very high.

El Zarape is fantastic. I am always looking for a consistent burrito place and El Zarape does the job perfectly. Simple, sizeable burrito for a really good price, multiple meat options (including lengua), beans and rice are on point with cilantro and onions wrapped up inside also. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Never disappointed here, except if they’re out of something I was going to order.... The burritos are packed with flavorful ingredients..... One of the few Mexican restaurants I keep coming back to and I live in Carpinteria..... 👍

A few months ago I had a Carnitas burrito and man...it was delicious! Today however I had the same burrito and man...what happened!? Really bad! Or maybe the cook back then does not work there anymore? I think it's going to be a while before I go again. Really good service, I can tell you that!
