Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Zocalo Midtown offers a lively atmosphere with "amazing food and service." Guests rave about the "delicious mole enchiladas" and "fantastic margaritas." While the restaurant can be "very loud" inside, the outdoor seating is a pleasant option. It's an ideal spot for celebrations and enjoying authentic Mexican cuisine with attentive, friendly staff.

Went at about 6pm on Saturday 11-23-2024 and they were packed - lots of large parties going on, at least 4 that I could tell, making it almost too noisy to enjoy the experience. Service was still top notch, as was the food. I will be back, just not on a weekend night, as personally I'm not fond of crowds like that. Guess it is the price to pay for liking a being a popular eatery so much.

The food and service are great. The decor is excellent but the noise level always makes it tough to carry on a conversation.

Zocalo offers a unique dinning experience with great food and ambiance. I am a repeat patron and will continue to return as often as I am able to, even though I live in the Bay Area.

It was incredibly loud and couldn’t enjoy a chat w/ my date. Service was mediocre, not bad and not good. This tends to happen when a 20% tip is guaranteed & automatically included. Underwhelming food.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and we appreciated the presence of the mariachi band. The weight chef seemed a bit overwhelmed, however. We had to wait quite a while before being attended to. The food was fantastic, as always.
