Foodie Experiences
Oaxacan tacos, ceviche and margaritas that actually taste of lime, on a patio at White Rock's quieter East Beach end.
Zapoteca brings Oaxacan cooking to the White Rock waterfront at the East Beach end of Marine Drive, the side that hasn't been turned into a pier-crush obstacle course. The molcajete-served carmela arrives at the table in the stone bowl, the ceviche is bright and direct, the fresh fish tacos are the thing you'll order again, and the margaritas actually taste of lime and tequila rather than a sweetener packet's fever dream. The energy is loud-fun, which means you can be animated without worrying about ruining a solemn room. Sit on the patio, order across the menu, and let the margaritas make the decisions you were going to overthink anyway. It's the left turn the White Rock waterfront strip needed, and honestly the strip should thank them.
