Very nice Mexican neighborhood restaurant on 14th Street in Midtown; recently they started selling their delicious freshly made salsa at farmer's markets around Atlanta. More

A lot of people tend to go to Zocalo (Zokes as the locals call it) for the atmosphere and the great central Midtown Atlanta location. In the spring/summer time you will generally find people go on the weekends to drink on the patio/parking lot…but they never eat there. The general opinion among Atlantians is the food is not great at... More

Place doesn't look like much, but the food was pretty good. Margaritas were great and the service was really good. They were very busy after 8 on a Friday night. Salsa was nice and spicy. Very affordable! More

The food is pretty good and the drinks are Excellent but the service was not so good. The waiter basically took our orders, brought our food, and was never to be seen again until he brought us the checks and told us that the kitchen was closed and there was no more desserts. More

We have been going to Zocalo for 15 years and have never been disappointed. We love everything! The food and the service. Their Mole sauce is just the best. Not your classic TexMex, so you will be disappointed if you are looking for basic enchiladas and tacos. This is the real thing... More

I have been wanting to try Zocalo for years. We finally made it into town and tried it out. What a disappointment. The open air seating was fun but that's all they had to offer. The service was awful, uptight, and no fun. I never did see a smile on any employee. The food was just plain and boring. Plus... More

We came over to this establishment as the restaurant we had intended to had an hour plus wait. We were able to be seated right away and never rushed to finish our meal as the previous reviewers commented. The tortilla chips were good and I would have eaten more but didn't feel at second basket was worth $1.50. I ate... More

Drinks, chips, salsa & guacamole were good. The food was not the best, but it was edible. The location is perfect. Why not have good service? I've been to Zocalo twice. The first time, celebrating a friend's birthday, the manager kept nagging our server to hurry up and ask us for our order, hurry up and bring us the check...... More
