About Zócalo

Zócalo is a popular spot known for friendly service and consistent, delicious food. The cauliflower and mushroom tacos are great vegetarian options. The bartender is knowledgeable, and the ambience is welcoming—other customers are friendly too. The staff goes above and beyond; they once helped a customer find a lost phone long after closing time. The restaurant offers a nice menu, especially for Taco Tuesday, with fresh taco salads and tasty desserts like flan and tres leches. It is also famous for its margaritas, including the coconut margarita, and serves some of the best skirt steak in town. The enchiladas divorciadas with red and green sauce and the unique “Corn Rib” dish are highly recommended. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, making it a perfect place to enjoy tacos, margaritas, and a great vibe any day of the week. Even during unexpected power outages, the staff does everything possible to keep guests comfortable, showing how much they care. Recently, visitors noted that the environment is comfortable, spacious, and has a nice, calm ambiance. The menu is well-lit and clean, though some found the online menus blurry. The food remains excellent, with flavorful dishes like the Short Rib Barbacoa and shrimp chimichanga, and the Maduros (sweet plantains) praised as possibly the best around. Service is friendly, efficient, and attentive, making each experience enjoyable. The steak fajitas are highly recommended, with some comparing them favorably to other local favorites. Overall, Zócalo continues to be a place where guests feel cared for and can enjoy great food and a welcoming atmosphere.
