One of the best places for brunch in Boston. Food is amazing (must try the spicy guac) and bottomless mimosas with tons of flavors to try!!!

Service outside was awesome. Guac was amazing. I had the simple two shrimp tacos and were fresh an perfect. Everything was great. A few speciality were good. I'll be back

The best salsa and guac in town! Perfect snack to nibble on while sipping their red sangria.

Mimosa Brunch was wonderful! Such a great steal. Large portions & mimosas were delish

At Zocalo, they make their own fresh guacamole at your table, expertly blending avocado, lime juice, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro with skilled hands usually reserved for drink-making and foreplay. Read more

Best to go at lunch time. Both the enchilada and the fish tacos are awesome. Ceviche is usually good, but I went once when they didn't have fresh tuna and it tasted like something out of a can...

Delicious food and tasty cocktails. Service and atmosphere were great too!

Mexican corn, salmon, carnitas, salsa... It's hard to go wrong here. Everything is delicious.

Guac is fresh and delish. Duck has lots of great flavors and was impressive for a mexican place.

Taco night on Monday is $2 tacos or $3 for fish shrimp. Toss in guacamole and Monday Night Football and you're stuffed.

The Beef Piramide is one of my all time favorites!
Dany SalvatierraJuly 6, 2013
Try the guacamole sauce! And also the Pescado A La Veracruzana, best fish dinner ever!

for starters, get the fresh-made guac at your table. Can't go wrong with the tuna ceviche! Mojitos are sub-par, margaritas are very good.

Drinks were good, not great. Food was very good, portions not gigantic (which was good as it was late). Service was very friendly. Liked the mexican paella a lot.

Love the fried fish tacos here. Always so delicious and just $9 at lunch!

Skip the mole and instead order tacos a la parrilla, a piece of grilled ahi tuna, a pale fish not much heavier than swordfish, on a bed of guac and red cabbage, with nicely folded corn tortillas. Read more

Bottomless Bubbles Brunch deal is to die for!

Ensalda Mexicana. Perfect light meal so you can drink more beer!

Do not leave here without getting the amazing, fresh, unbelievable guacamole!

Fresh made guacamole. The best in town!

amazing all around
Gianna NebbiaMarch 2, 2015
Was a bit disappointed. Mariscada was VERY salty... Yet the steak needed some salt and pepper. Presentation is nice but 23$ for a mediocre meal

Great pre-theatre eats for The Lyric Stage.

Taco night is so fun it's a definite must!

Beer battered shrimp tacos. Yum!

Get the plantain stuffed with pork!

Try the tamale elote--it's sweet corn, not masa, and amazing.

Guacamole and margaritas are a must at Zocalo! Service is hit or miss though.
Gopal YNovember 5, 2011
Highly recommend guacamole and the vegetarian tamales.
Tim KrochukJune 29, 2010
They need a new bartender. Suggestion: Take a page from Mistrals book on staffing. Sangria flights are worth a try!
Shannon MurphyApril 17, 2011
Great gluten free menu. Try the Elote as an app.

Amazing guac!
Laura FaeltenJune 12, 2010

Pisco sour

Guacamole was room temp - much better at La Verdad.

Do not, I say again, do not, get a table downstairs
