" Zócalo has an appealing ambiance with a festive atmosphere that suits a night out with friends! I loved their tres leches cake; it was one of the best desserts I've had! The tacos were decent but lacked a little punch in spices. While the service was friendly, it took a while to get our checks. Overall, I think it’s a nice place to gather, especially for special occasions and celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zócalo is, without a doubt, my new favorite Mexican restaurant! The decor is stunning, with an elegant yet inviting atmosphere. I ordered the carnitas and was blown away by the tender meat and flavorful seasoning. My friends got the margaritas, which were delicious but a little too sweet for my taste. Service was generally good, although our server was occasionally absent. I appreciated the generous portion sizes as well; I took home leftovers! We'll definitely be making Zócalo our weekly spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Zócalo last weekend with a group, and it was a fantastic experience. We opted for the happy hour, which offers incredible deals on drinks and appetizers. The flautas were crispy and tasted so fresh, while the guacamole was a delightful accompaniment. Our main courses included the mole enchiladas, which were rich and perfectly balanced with flavors. The only complaint was that the wait for a table was a bit long, probably due to its popularity, but absolutely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zócalo is hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to! It's a lively place with a great atmosphere, and the service was impeccable. I tried their Baja fish tacos and they were fantastic. The only downside was how crowded it got quickly, but it added to the fun vibe. I highly recommend checking it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a great meal in a fun atmosphere, Zócalo is the place to be. I was there for brunch, and the bottomless mimosas became the highlight of my afternoon! The dishes were hearty and delicious, particularly the chilaquiles, which were seasoned just right. The staff was cheerful and made the experience even more enjoyable. I do wish the place had a slightly more laid-back vibe, as it felt a bit rushed with the weekend crowd. Overall, a returning customer's experience, without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zócalo is a gem in Sacramento! The decor sets a lively yet intimate atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends. I ordered the mole enchiladas, which are simply the best. My friend tried the carne asada, and they rave about how tender it was. If you enjoy margaritas, don't miss out on their specialty drinks! Parking was somewhat tricky, but the food and service make it all worth it. A must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Zócalo was not what I expected. While the ambiance was amazing, the food didn't quite hit the mark for me. I had the shrimp tacos, and the shrimp was overcooked and dry. On a positive note, my friends enjoyed their meals. The service was friendly but a bit slow on a busy evening. I'd say it's worth a shot; just make sure to ask the servers for recommendations.
