My husband and I spent three nights in Charlottesville. We ended up eating at the Zocolo four times during out stay. Why? Well, the food was sooo delicious, the setting was very pretty and the staff were very friendly. The waiters, Zoe, John and Gianna were very welcoming and professional. We enjoyed meeting the owner, Will (?) who is from Mexico City, where we recently had visited. Will was very hospitable and even treated my husband and me to the most delicious pumpkin muffins. We highly recommend dining at the Zocolo when in Charlottesville!

Came here when it was rather empty and dinner just started. I had the spicy tuna to start and it was a lovely presentation. They were able to make it gluten and dairy free. I also had the duck with Swiss chard and side of my choice. I decided on spinach. It’s great that they ask about celiac and are aware of contamination. That’s a huge plus for accessibility. The duck was so good! I would have never thought cranberries on duck would pair together. If you’re in town and looking for an elevated place to go to, look no further.

We had the ribeye special and the scallop entree on the menu as well as the pan con tomate appetizer and the vella jack cheese fritter appetizer. The food was excellent as was the service. We ate outside on the patio which had a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant! (P.S. Reservations recommended which we were so glad we had.)

My husband and I had dinner at Zocalo 2 weeks ago and the food and service was so good. Having gluten allergies I was so happy to see that they had a menu for those with celiac and gluten allergies. Last night we attended a wine pairing dinner and the food was Outstanding and paired perfectly with the wine. I highly recommend a visit to Zocalo, you won’t be sorry.

The service was great! The food was delicious - it was great that they had so many mock-tails to choose from and their kids menu was great as well. The desserts were the perfect ending to our birthday celebration. A great restaurant to go to celebrate with a large party! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for out of towners like myself. I cant wait to go back when i am back in C’ville! THANK YOU ZOCALO TEAM

The food was delectable. The churro and house made strawberry ice cream was the best dessert. The service was excellent, and even the manager checked in on us.

I ate here with a group of 12. The staff were not very accommodating about splitting the check, though they did put a 20% on the bills. Food was decent. They mixed up at least 1 drink order getting an IPA and a Vienna Lager to the wrong people. I had scallops which were good. I would not recommend this place for large groups.
It was fine. I don’t really get the hype. Food kind of bland. Not horrible, but not worth the money. Went for brunch, maybe dinner is better, but they didn’t give me any reason to return.

My fiancé and I went out to Zocalo and were absolutely blown away! Our server was very attentive and kind, checking in with us multiple times throughout the evening. Every single thing we ate was incredible, especially the spinach salad with fried oysters and halibut special with manchego risotto. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a date night out at this wonderful location!

This is one of the best dinners I've had in Charlottesville in quite some time. I've lived in town for 13 years and they have literally nailed dinner and drink menu. From well balanced appetizers to lush spot on entrees to delicious desserts. 10 out 10 would recommend!

A really amazing place at the downtown mall! Great Latin/spanish inspired cuisine. I was recently in Barcelona and all the dishes with manchego really took me back to eating there! My halibut was cooked perfectly with crispy skin! This was a daily special so I’m not sure how often it’s on the menu but I would recommend it if it is! My husband got the duck breast and for me it was a bit too sweet for a whole meal but he seemed to enjoy it. The savory bread pudding however was very very good! We had spent the day at the wineries so we didn’t get any drinks but both their cocktail and wine menu looked great, will definitely account for that next time!
