An absolutely spectacular experience at Zapote in Shoreditch! The food is Mexican with a creative twist, each dish beautifully crafted and full of flavor. Prices are very fair for the outstanding quality you get. What really made the difference for us, though, was the service: Rocio went above and beyond to make us feel truly at home. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care turned a great dinner into an unforgettable evening. It had been a long time since we enjoyed a restaurant this much. We’ll definitely be back, highly recommended!!!

Zapote is a must-visit for anyone who values quality ingredients and refined flavours over mass appeal. We were so impressed by the freshness of the produce, the creativity of the flavour combinations, and the care given to each dish – every mouthful was a celebration. The service was just as exceptional: attentive, engaging, and thoughtful without ever being intrusive. An outstanding dining experience that I can’t wait to repeat.
