    Way above average. They try to interpret California style burritos for Swiss tastes, mostly with good results. Their very nice carnitas make me wish for shredded beef (machca) or chicken. My only real complaint is their hours, 7am-3pm and only on weekdays. This is fine for local business folk and high school students, but sad for local residents who would like to have a burrito for dinner or on a weekend. They serve bagels, gipfels etc for breakfast. I had a marvelous carnitas and guacamole bagel. Sadly, no breakfast burritos yet. Something to do with their perception of Swiss tastes.

    I have lived in Los Angeles CA and enjoyed many a truly authentic and delicious beef burrito. The mucho macho beef burrito combo that I ordered today cost nearly 22 Francs and contained a meager quantity of beef, and some bacon. It should be called the "Mini and Not At All MaChO". My wife got the skinny chicken combo which she reported as being too salty, I sampled it and I would have to agree. During assembly no options were offered by staff. Despite being almost empty we felt rushed. My wife was not told that there are a variety of salad sauces and was only offered honey mustard. After realising this, when my wife changed her mind at the cash counter, the change of sauce request wasn't received warmly by the staff members, they appeared visibly displeased.

    It is a real Tex mex, burritos are nice and filing also they are very fast and friendly. One of the best places in Zurich binz for lunch, other than that is impossible to try it since it closes very early and they don’t open for dinners , they also offer breakfast but I haven’t tried it yet

    Today instead of salat got a box of oil. Lot of oil inside, oil get thru the box, all contents is in oil. Attempt to remove excessive oil didn't succeed (look at paper towels full of oil) -- it's impossible to remove everything, it's tasteless and only oil, nothing else.

    I come from the Silicon Valley and live nearby so have been curious about this place. Bottom line: one of the better burritos I've had in ZH, but pricing is a problem, made worse by trickery. They use a sneaky and unethical deception with their menu, which is unlike a normal menu that shows a full price for an item. Here, they offer a "solo burrito" (top of the menu) for a whopping 13.90 plus numerous options each showing their respective additional price (much farther down), like the Vegi Grande which shows +2Sfr, making their basic vegi burrito cost 15.90, but nowhere on the menu do you see that number, so psychologically you feel it's a better deal. This is a trick. Imagine a (real) restaurant menu showing a note at the top "all our dishes cost Sfr20 plus the individual options below" where next to Spaghetti Bolognese you see Sfr4... Seems like a great deal, all these tiny numbers... I asked for the "Solo burrito" and was told that doesn't exist, "But it says right there, it's 13.90" I say, but No. Sorry. This is fast food. Wait in line, counter service, no table service, etc. My Vegi Grande was good but cost 2.5X my fav burrito from Zona Rosa in San Francisco (now closed) where life ain't cheap but until recently they still sold their basic vegi for less than $7, plus chips & salsa, and it's bigger, too. I got not chips with my 16Sfr vegi. Chips and salsa here cost 4.90 so a real comparison means 6.50 vs 20.80 or 3.2X the real CA vegi burrito. With a drink you're paying 25Sfr for fast food! Down the street they sell wraps for 10... I'm glad they don't wrap with aluminum which is then trashed instead of recycled like most other places, so that's good. They sell a home-made syrup "tea" drink in a throw-away plastic cup for almost 4Sfr. Ouch. They should ALL follow Hiltl's lead and offer water for free. Finally, the workers are on per du with their customers, which isn't acceptable in other restaurants or shops or anywhere else, so why is it okay here?

    I loooove their freestyle salads, so fresh and yummy. Even when busy, the service is quite fast. Good prices too for the portions.

    One of my favourite places for lunch around this area. Burrito is really rich, you can have your additions to the base burrito, and also the bowl looks good. It is also rolled up perfectly so you don't spread it on the table while eating. My favourite is the "mucho macho" burritos. The service is good and fast.

    Located in Wallisellen across the street from the Glatt Zentrum, Zapote offers a reasonably priced California style burrito. They have a large sidewalk seating area and inside are a variety of high stools and tables, window seats, padded chairs and sofas, wooden tables and chairs that continued to the rear and around the wall. The staff was welcoming, friendly, used suggestive sales techniques without having the customer feel pressured. A very good team.

    The menu is a bit confusing at first. I just stopped overanalyzing and bought some burritos.

    Zapote is a must for anyone working in the Binz area. Well located and easily accessible from the offices close by. The food is served quickly and the outdoor seating is an enjoyable place to spend your lunch break in the summer. The food is delicious and there are a wide variety of menus, ingredients and meals to choose from. Have eaten here many times and never been disappointed.
