Nice decor, but............ I made reservations for part of 10 at Zocalo?s, management stressed for me to be prompt or they would charge me fifty dollars on my credit card that they insisted I give over the phone at the time I made the reservations. Well??. I was on time and they made my party and I wait twenty minutes for our table. It took forever for our server to attend to us, they took the longest time to bring our drinks and food, not once did they ask us if we wanted more drinks. After making us wait so long for our table, food, drinks they emphasized that we needed to be out of the dinning area by ten thirty so they can prepare for the night club. The food was over priced for the amount of portion. As people inquire about Zocalo?s I would not recommend it at all.

Great find. I used to visit the previous restaurant in this location, Chilpancingo, and loved it. Went to Zocalo with a group and found it to be EVEN BETTER. The small plates are perfect for sharing, they are authentic flavors presented in a more upclass setting without being pretentious. The mini tortillas were a surprise as well. So good I'm guessing they're made in house. Ther service was friendly and explained dishes without being condescending. Best of all - the pineapple mojitos. Seriously - if you go, have one (or two!)

Yummy!. I recently hosted an event here for AidsCares called Dining out for Life. Food was fantastic, drinks were even better. The prices are just right and the service was great too. . . . .Definitely worth a try - even if you don't live in the neighborhood!!
