Review summary

Zocalo Midtown offers a vibrant, lively atmosphere with "excellent service" and "amazing food." Many patrons rave about the "mole enchiladas" and "generous margaritas." While some note the noise level can be high, the outdoor seating provides a pleasant alternative. It's a "great spot" for celebrations and offers a consistent dining experience.

    Fantastic service for our party of 12. We sat outside, a bit chilly but they brought heaters to keep us warm. Food was excellent and accurate as ordered. The noise level inside and crowd was overwhelming and we wouldn’t have stayed if we had to sit inside. The crowds were overly packed in- they should limit how many are seated or allowed to stand around the bar. We couldn’t get through to use the restrooms even and it was deafening when walking through the restaurant. Just note that Saturday nights are over the top with noise and people!

    Very loud. Service was slow and our bills and credit cards got mixed up among three tables. Very confusing.

    I took my mom to Zocolos this evening because Dinorah was scheduled to perform. My mom adores her and I thought it would be a nice treat to hear her sing and play. I also wanted to contribute to the Toys for Tot fundraiser, so I brought several toys to donate. Our server was outstanding. Very patient, attentive and accommodating. As far as the food- my fish tacos came out cold and the carnitas were just slightly warm - which made the meal less appetizing. Our server made up for it by treating us to flan- that was excellent. The women’s bathrooms needed attention. One toilet was plugged, the working toilet was out of TP, and the towel dispenser was empty. I understand it was were very busy, but with that kind of crowd, you really should make sure the bathrooms are attended to frequently. I do want to give a shout out to another server as well- Ricardo. He made us feel welcome with his sincere friendliness and offering drinks when we were watching Dinorah perform after dinner. Service - excellent Ambiance - too loud Food -ok Drinks- good

    We went there for brunch. Service was excellent, they were attentive to food allergies and tried their best to accommodate. Kid-friendly. Food portions were reasonably generous. We especially loved the ceviche. Recommended!
