I’d driven by this lovely blue building at least 3 times before finally stopping in… I can’t believe I waited so long!! The food was delicious! I can’t eat gluten or dairy, so I unfortunately wasn’t able to try the queso, but the waitress offered me the special spicy salsa & I loved it :)
I ordered the Argentina Steak Chimichurri and it reminded me how much I’ve missed chimichurri. The steak was grilled wonderfully & the chimichurri on top looked picture perfect. It is all made fresh by the chef & even the garlic bits are hand diced… I was impressed as I always just use a blender. So fresh!! The rice and beans were just as I expected & tasted even better with a tiny bit of the hot salsa on top. The avocado salad was simple but very enjoyable. I like to eat some lettuce with most meals, so that was right up my alley. The regular salsa was standard but fresh & great, plus I loved the thin chips.
I generally cook all my own food at home & don’t often go to resturants. I am following a “diet” called The Wahls Protocol to treat my MS (instead of taking up to $50k worth of drugs per year), so it can be hard to find places that I can eat & be confident I won’t end up eating gluten or dairy. Zarate's makes all their food from scratch, so can tell me exactly what goes in every dish. This place has plenty of options that suit me I look forward to trying them all!
Highly recommended, don’t drive past this lovely blue building again without giving Zarate’s Latin Grill a try!!!
