A closer address, at least for Google Maps, is 745 W 13th Ave Zapata, TX.

The drive-in sat to the SW of Junior’s Drive-Inn and today is an open field across from the football stadium. You can just barely see the outline and the entrance road still exists.

The concession building stood until 2008.

In the 1955-56 Theatre Catalog, the only drive-in listed in Zapata was the Ramos, owner Felix Ramos, capacity 200. Same drive-in?
