A taco spot that looks exactly like TTS its predecessor but with bland food.

Zocalo is middle of the road. Cutting corners and lacking flavor you would expect of a 5 dollar taco.

Great service because the place is empty.

Barbacoa tastes bland and wouldn’t be surprised if it is brought in or sits for days. Tortillas are not fresh, chips are probably sysco…

Steak burrito was decent… but no flavor and steak did not stand out at all.

They have good sauces that you can throw on the food to give it some life.

Go next door, there are 5 better spots within 2 blocks.

First of all, super friendly staff. The food was good, very full in flavor. But the drinks were the highlight of the night.

I don’t know how they have good reviews for their burrito because for $17 it was the worst most disappointing burrito I’ve ever had. It was half the size of a chipotle burrito and had no flavor, it was mostly mushy rice. This was the first disappointment I’ve had from here, their quesadilla is my go to.

Great mexican food. Had the privilege to stop by this past tuesday for their Taco Tuesday and it did not disappoint. My partner also had the chicken enchiladas (not pictured). Taste, quality, atmosphere, it was all there. Will definitely come back

I absolutely love this place. The food is super fresh, and the service is amazing. They play really good music—whoever’s on aux is killing it. Very reasonably priced as well. Get the tres leches cake.

The steak tacos with the sautéed pepper and a pinch of guacamole hits!!

I had the best burrito of my life here. My friend and I came in pretty late on a Sunday and the restaurant was empty. The owner saw us dancing, so he turned up the music and turned on the disco ball just for us to have a good time. Can't recommend this place enough!

I genuinely enjoy the Barbacoa 🌮 tacos and bowl. The ingredients are quality and I feel great after eating it! Definitely authentic and i recommend! I would say im a foodie and I highly recommend the spot! Not too many other authentic options in the area! There's a few great people among the staff too! They bring energy and light to the dinning experience! Keep up the good work!

this Mexican restaurant serves delicious birria tacos, quesabirrias, and alambre. The vibrant and welcoming atmosphere, and the well-balanced and refreshing margaritas. We also like the friendly and helpful staff.
