Let me start by saying that I love Mexican food. I have traveled the U.S. and Mexico in search of the best taquerías, mole and chiles en nogada.

Beautiful restaurant inside with good outdoor seating. Food was really good. A little pricey. Margaritas are small but Delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. more

Very disappointing night at Zocalos- we were down for 7pm seating and after 2 hours of still waiting, we left. Never ate here but I can say it's not worth coming back. The drinks are also over priced. more
