Feedback
Customers praise Zaps Burrito’s vegan sweet-potato option, spicy sauces and chips, but note inconsistent wrapping, variable service and tricky online ordering.
First visit to ZapS Durham after good experiences at the Newcastle branch. Nice set up with the service area on the first floor. Get a window seat and you’re in business. I had a burrito absolutely ram packed with lime rice, spicy beans, sweet potato chilli, guacamole and hot chilli sauce. A revolutionary good experience.
Ordering online was quite complicated, and it was challenging to determine what items were vegan. I found myself keeping three tabs open: Zap’s website, Just Eat, and Deliveroo to compare and make sure my order was vegan-friendly. The burrito I picked was decent, but nothing remarkable—maybe I just made a poor choice. However, the chips were delightful!
The sweet potato vegan option is fantastic, and there are plenty of vegan add-ons available. I especially appreciate the super spicy choices. The guacamole is also vegan. You really can't go wrong with a loaded spicy burrito!
This restaurant is a classic Chipotle-style burrito spot, featuring a delicious sweet potato filling that is vegan.
