    Try Cayrum, its a dark rum aged 3 years and then infused with all natural ginger and honey. Its great as a chilled shot, on the rocks, ginger ale/beer, juices or Red Bull. Theres nothing like it! Read more

    Guacamole is great..as well as the enfrijoladas, chilaquiles with red salsa, shrimp ceviche, barbacoa taco, and the egg & chorizo taco. Just get the bottomless brunch, it's worth it.

    Chicken Mole sauce, to its lovers, is as controversial as barbecue is to its fanatics. All Mexican cooks have their own version. Zocalo's, the owners' own Mexican family recipe, has no equal in town. Read more

    The chicken mole poblano now comes with plantains. I never imagined plantains in mole sauce would be so incredibly delicious. I will be getting cravings.

    I judge every mexican joint by the quality of their mole sauce. Zocalo's mole is no joke! The guac made fresh to taste is a nice touch as well.

    The skinny margaritas are great and you can dodge the sugar. Also, try the refrieds with the chips and salsa. Delicious. Read more

    Try the tortilla soup! Slightly spicy, but excellent. Several items on the menu have cactus, which is a bit of an acquired taste

    Try a Cayrum Dominican Margarita. Equal parts Cayrum and silver tequila, lime juice, pineapple juice and a splash of soda.

    This place is a crap box. The food is terrible. Drinks are good though. So eat before you arrive, then enjoy tasty margaritas on the patio.

    This place blows, way overpriced for not even being able to cut the steak against the grain. Complete fail. The slogan is also creative Mexican? That it is not. Bout as standard as it comes.
