I went there in the afternoon for a beer and some pool with a friend. It was empty except for one guy who seemed like a regular. The bartender was nice and spoke English(El Zarape is definitely a very Latino spot). Good beer on tap($ 4/pint for Stella). I did not try the food. Wierdly, there was either no music or very loud music at any given time(either Mexican stuff of ‘90s Santana). As a place to play pool in the afternoon, it was great. Three tables in decent condition(they’re coin operated — $ 1/game), and no waiting since the place was empty. In all, definitely a good place for pool and beer. It seems to get going Friday and Saturday nights; I have no idea what the scene’s like then. A provisional«3 stars.» Recommended.
