Zocalo serves tasty, albeit spicy, Mexican-inspired dishes in a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The menu may be limited, but popular items like Quesebirria, cheese enchiladas, and chilaquiles rojos, verdes are flavorful and well-seasoned. The restaurant has a cozy, boutique-style vibe similar to a coffee house, with a small seating area that feels intimate. Friendly staff provide quick service, and visitors have noted the excellent food and generous portions, especially for breakfast. The burritos are notably large and delicious, and the Horchata has received praise for being perfect. While prices may be a bit high, the delicious food and good portions make it worth it. The atmosphere is relaxing and family-owned, with a small parking lot nearby that offers affordable options. Overall, Zocalo is a recommended stop for those craving authentic Mexican cuisine in the IV/SB area, making it an IV staple with its incredible dishes and friendly service.
