This place starts out with great salsa, we have tried many items on the menu and have been happy every time. We like the Street Tacos and the Chile Releno the best. El Sarape has good service, always keep our drinks and chips full, and very friendly.

Very good Mexican food. Not the standard texmex fare although they do have if it's what you want. My gf had a shrimp dish and she loved it. I had the steak ranchero. I know not very Mexican but I was feeling it and loved it.
