Zócalo

Came here for dinner with a dear friend and our experience was beyond amazing. Eevee, our server, was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make our evening special. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back and ask for Eevee!

Oh my goodness. One of my new favorite Sacramento restaurants. It is Michelin rated, has a beautiful atmosphere inside and tree-shaded tables outside. Service by Antonio was fantastic, as well as by manager, William, who stoped by to check in. But best of all, all the food was amazing.

They started by bringing some warm, thin, crispy tortilla chips along with a side of homemade salsa and black beans which were amazing. I had their #1margarita, the BlackBerry, made with organic blackberry purée and fresh lime juice - wonderful and not too sweet. I also tried the Michelin-recognized Mango fresco margarita with mango purée and homemade Chamoy rim - so delicious!

I ordered the 3 Mix enchiladas, and they were each unique and very good - (1) mole (Michelin recognized); (2) verde and (3) Rojas, each w/ chicken and Monterey Jack cheese, although could barely see or taste the cheese, could use a bit more, although the amount of chicken was very generous. But everything looked good - would love to come back and try the tacos, salads, bowls and soups.

Manager William brought out a complimentary flan, since it was my first time to avocado, and honestly, I'm not necessarily a flan fan, but this is one of the best I've had! Firm, like a cheesecake, not slimy, and served with chopped toasted almonds and fresh blueberries. Wow! Glad I got a to go box for my side of black beans and cilantro rice. Look forward to coming back; maybe tomorrow!

We went on a Saturday around 7:30 pm. Parking was a little struggle given it was busy day and Zocalo was busy with some parties and a private event. We had reservations so we were seated right away.

The interior/vibe: 5/5
It gave like Tulum vibes and is def a place to bring the girls out for dinner or a date night.

Drinks: 3/5
I got the mango margarita and they weren't shy about the alcohol quantity but the flavor of the margarita was ok.
I do like how you can order a big margarita to share for the table.

Food: 3/5
The food was okay. The chicken burrito bowl lacked in chicken. The enchiladas were good bc of the amount of protein.

Service: 5/5
Our server was attentive and very friendly.

I would say this is a place just to go for the vibes. Food is just okay.

Came here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the food. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and the ambience was perfect for a group birthday or family celebration without being too over the top. The servers were also very accommodating of any birthday requests we had.

I got one red and one green chicken enchilada so I could try both. I also enjoyed the side of black beans and climates rice. Everything felt very fresh and had those cali-mex flavors that I love. I definitely liked the suiza (green) more than the red sauce. Chicken was high quality - well seasoned and cleaned.

I also got a guava margarita that was too sweet for me, but I could see other people liking it.

It's been here for years and for good reason - it is a wonderful place to eat and the service is friendly, warm, helpful - all the things. I will never turn down a blackberry margarita or the patio at happy hour.
A happy place! Be sure to make a reservation on Open Table to get straight in. Only trick is landing a parking space!

Ok hear me out. If you like mole sauce. This place has some of the best mole sauce I have ever had, and I ALWAYS try the mole sauce.

Other than that a decent experience! Interesting cocktails. A solid although not mind blowing menu, and decent wait service with great prices.

All of that might make it a 4.5.... but the mole sauce makes it 5 my friends, come here for the mole

This is my second time visiting this restaurant. I absolutely love it. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The food is delicious. My Cassie is remade with homemade tortillas. The pesola was just perfect and not too salty. I will definitely come back.

This was my first time here.

We were welcomed in, seated, and given our menus.

Immediately, I noticed the beauty of this restaurant- inside and outside.

The server was friendly and polite.


We ordered drinks from the happy hour menu. The mango margarita was amazing. I rarely drink so one drink was enough to make me feel tipsy.

The enchiladas were delicious. They are served alone and the beans and rice are served on a separate plate.

This was a wonderful lunch and beautiful setting for pictures lol.

Came here for happy hour.

I really love the high ceiling and big Mirror hanging from the wall. The booth is where we sat, and I feel like the booth is really high up, not too comfy for me and my 6ft 2 friend. The layout and vibes of this restaurant is excellent.
.
I ordered the flautas - which us made with potatoe. The inside is stuffed with like mash potatoes. I really like the salsa and veggies they put on top. The presentation is great.
.
Main entrees- three chicken tacos plate. The tacos were crispy shelled. It was a great size taco. I love how it comes with cilantro rice and beans on the side as well.
.
Complimentary chips and salsa. It's like crack, so addicting. One chip led to 3 baskets of chip. About 3 to 5 refills on the salsa and bean dip.
.
The service was on top of it. The serve did a great job. The water was refilled. The chips and dips were refilled accordingly. I was very happy and satisfied.
.
Overall the food was good and big portion. I love environment. This is a great place for some good modern Mexican food. Thanks for reading. I hope this review was helpful. Follow me for more and vote helpful for this review.

I came here for happy hour after work with two friends and we all loved it! We ordered the Baja fish tacos, fish ceviche de guaymas, zoca quesadillas, and shrimp tacos de camaron. We also got some cocktails, blackberry margarita, maiz mezacalita, and de la casa! The blackberry margarita was bomb, I could drink a bunch of these. The shrimp tacos were delightful and fresh, I really loved the mango salsa on the tacos. The fish ceviche was also a favorite of ours. This was my first turn at zocalo but it certainly won't be my last!
