I had chicken quesadillas for lunch and it tasted delicious with their sweet corn sauce inside. My colleagues had their burrito and liked it. Their prices are also fair.

Sweet Potato chilli Burrito was excellent and spicy salsa did actually have a spice kick to it. Not crazy spicy but enough to give it that extra. Good meal deal with chips and drink for 8.50. The venue inside is quite nice. I think they could really turn it in to a cool cafe restaurant if they tried harder. It's nice setting by the bridge. Only downside is I had to clear the outside table to put my lunch on. It had 10 used coffee cups and a few plates on it. But pleasant staff made up for that. I've had the Butternut squash/Halloumi here too which is very good.

Great little place tucked away near the bridge in Durham. I went because I have been to the shop’s Newcastle counterpart and had good experiences. Good didn’t disappoint, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was friendly and pleasant.

Just absolutely delicious . I’ve loved Zapatista since first trying it in Newcastle years ago. I now go to this one in Durham quite a lot and the people who work there are just lovely, so helpful and smiley. The burritos are DELICIOUS. I love the loyalty cards too. My favourite is the pulled pork. Highly recommend!

I have only tried "Churros" and they were tasty! You can get 4 Churros with chocolate on top for 3.70 and even with ice cream for an extra 1. I had to wait around 15 minutes for them to be ready but totally worth it. I would definitely go back just for Churros. #foodieguide #letsguide #properchurros #churros

This is possibly my favourite food in the world. I've come back to Durham this weekend from London partially just to go to Zaps. The nachos and the burrito especially are delicious. Staff always lovely and don't give you small portions. There should be a zaps or Zapatista in every town.
