Found this cozy looking spot on Google, my fiance and I thought we would broaden our horizons and try something new. When we walked in,we weren't greeted and nobody was in sight. Double checked the sign did indeed say open. I attempted to get the attention of some staff in the back, was ignored. We gave it a few minutes to see if anyone else might walk in. The bar was unattended and a ipad is visible. If this was Nola, that iPad would have grown a pair of legs. It's unfortunate because this looks like such a beautiful spot and we were excited to try the margarita flight. Made our way across the street to Felipes. You have got to try the quesadilla fries.

My wife and I decided to try this while in the area. The staff were extremely friendly and service was really good! Ambiance was nice. I would not come back though and would not recommend. Food was ok but on the lower end of Mexican restaurants that I've been to and I have probably been to over 50. Price was absolutely insane! $91 for two meals and two margaritas with Guacamole.

I was there for Taco Tuesday. Tacos $2.50 each and 2 for 1 margaritas (frozen or on the rocks). Drinks were good, pretty potent.

Great meal and service. Rene was our hostess and made us feel nothing bit welcome. Her recommendations were also on point.

All I can say this place has changed.. I ordered a fajita with shrimp and chicken and a tlayuda/Mexican pizza with shrimp. The food is good but the portion size were for a child. Don't order food to go!! I didn't have no cheese no Guacamole no Pico. And I ordered it on the side. My pizza had sour cream no cheese 4 shrimp. One for each slice..lol.. So don't ordered to go.. Eat in if you want your money's worth.

I've visited Zocalo many times and will say their bartender is friendly and knowledgeable. I've never had issues with my food. It's always come out hot and tastes the same every single time. Consistency is where a lot of restaurants loose me as a customer! Anytime I have friends and family in town, I take them to Zocalo! As far as ambience, I usually sit at the bar but I will say even other customers are friendly and I've seen strangers start talking to each other. I think that speaks volumes on Zocalos overall vibe.

Want to like it but the service is awful every time we go despite it not being crowded. Took 20 min for a drink order. 20 more minutes to bring the drinks out. The queso and guacamole portion size is tiny.. Food took forever to come out. Someone ordered a side of plantains and it’s was a joke. 3 small slices is all you got. Rice was hard. The sides are tiny. I took three bites of beans and they were gone.It’s a shame because some of the food is good but they have to get their service straight and portion sizes larger. Too many other good options around to eat at.

There are not words to say how appreciative I am for their staff. Tonight, after closing, I thought that I had lost my phone at the restaurant. There were two incredible staff members who came outside and helped me way after their time to leave. This is a very special place. And, to the two amazing men who helped me out, I will never be able to tell you how appreciative I am. And, the other part of the story is that we just gave my mother last rites a few days ago, and my phone is my only way to work remotely. They made a difference for me tonight.

Tried Zocalo for the first time last night and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Although, I didn't drink. They were offering bottomless margaritas for their house margaritas. A deal they have every Thursday! I ordered three tacos (two fish and one shrimp). These tacos were delicious with the shrimp being my favorite. The batter was crispy and the shrimp was delicious paired with the mango salsa and sweet chili glaze. The tacos were three for $19 and came with beans and rice. Overall, a great meal. I am always looking for more Mexican restaurants and this one will definitely be added to my list. I will be back for the tacos and margaritas!
