Zocalito Latin Bistro

Outstanding meal. A touch pricey, but the value is totally there. Some of the best mole I’ve ever had.

Everything about this restaurant was great! We will definitely be back!

Gourmet, Foodie, somewhat atypical Latin Cuisine that was very good.
Some dishes can be spicy hot, but most are not.
Decor and ambiance very nice. Service was a bit slow.
Parking and access were very easy especially for dinner/evening.

The food was truly original and delicious. The service was impeccable. It's a unique opportunity to sample a cuisine you may not have tasted. I loved everything. We will be returning.

Great flavors in the skirt steak mole. Salsas were interesting but not a slam dunk for me. Margarita was slightly above average, but not exceptional.

I love coming to Zocalito because it is a different type of Latin Bistro with wonderful people who really want to make your experience great. We had made reservations and when we arrived, we were seated away from the Happy Hour group so we could have a quiet meal. Our server was over the top and made sure we were taken care of since we would be heading to DCPA for a show. He made suggestions and kept us informed. Love this place!

Food is good and outdoor seating is nice, but the service is hit or miss.

Some of the best flavors I've had in Denver. Two appetizers, two entrees, and one dessert, all delicious.

Amazing tastes from Mexico

Oh yum. We had a wonderful dinner on the patio. Service good, food exceptional with many interesting combinations of flavors and chiles I had never heard of. I could have licked the bowl the queso came in.

Best shrimp quesadilla I've ever had. Looking forward to the shrimp tacos they are working on perfecting!

Fantastic food, drinks and service

Food was very good. Service was not. The male waiter on duty would have preferred to be somewhere else. The female (manager) was far too casual. Brought a shot for herself over to our table and drank it.

Amazing food, ambiance and the staff there was equally amazing! Britt was our waitress and she is so cool and so fun to talk to and a great waitress as well. Fantastic drinks as well and a cool outdoor patio with Denver skyline views!

Definitely check this place out!!

Zocalito used to be one of my favorite restaurants. The quality of the food has declined ( my plate seems to have spent too much time under a heat lamp). The service was not at all friendly.

Great food. This is not your typical Mexican Cuisine. The soup and tamale were fantastic.

We loved it! The cocktails were delicious, and the shrimp-octopus salad with peppers was perfection!
We will return!

Pleasant surprise just a few blocks from 16th

Great service. Really outstanding food. Wonderful spices and flavors. Creative recipes!

The food was ok and the service was friendly. That said, there were some clear value issues. The food was definitely overpriced and we ordered a bottle of wine and the year of the wine served was 5 years younger than on the wine list. The waitress did not have a good answer and charged the same amount as a 5 year older wine. That was unacceptable. The bartender made a Cadillac margarita but did not include Grand Marnier which is a required ingredient. When I asked I was assured it was made correctly. I asked if they would add Grand Marnier and the bartender added so little it barely changed color. Would not go back or recommend.

Fantastic. Nothing else like it in Denver.

Great restaurant, hope more people discover it because it deserves to last!

Portions were small for the price. Twice I was served what looked like a half glass of wine.

I was impressed by most everything except the prices here. $18 for three street tacos is excessive by any measure. If the prices were better this place would be a normal spot for me

Food was amazing! We shared the shrimp ceviche, black bean soup, and beef tenderloin and couldn't find a single fault with anything. It was not busy at all on a Saturday night after a baseball game, so I hope it sticks around long enough to go back.

We loved our lunch here!! The price point is a bit high for every day dining, but it's good for special occasions! The food is delicious!

I rarely give 5 stars across the board, but Zocalito deserves top ratings. The food is unique, the chilis sprinkled on the edge of each dish are divine ... I have returned three times in less than a month .... once on a double date, the second time with girl friends to celebrate birthdays, and finally just the two of us. Each time we have had excellent food and great service. Can't wait to go back now that the weather is nice and try the patio.

The food at zocalito is outstanding. The flavors and quality are unlike any other Mexican food restaurant in Denver. Hope this restaurant makes it in its chosen location.

2nd time there with a larger group. Great food and ambiance!

We have been going to this restaurant when it was in Aspen, and always enjoyed it. The mole is always flavorful and the food is well prepared. One star down on service only because they didn't habe enough staff for the number of guests (it was a Wednesday evening), but the two staff members that we did interact with were very helpful.

Our experience was great up until our entrees were served. After that, our server was stuck in service bar mode for the entire restaurant. Where was the manager touching tables ? Where was the pass-off to any other server ? We got dessert menus 10 minutes after plates were cleared, and forgotten for the next 20 minutes. Completely unacceptable for an establishment this experienced. Boo hiss ...

Great service, general vibe, decor and menu! Our server was friendly, attentive and helpful about menu choices. The food is creative, and delicious. My only disappointment was an vegetable entree priced at around $27 or 26 that was rather meager with underdone rice. I highly recommend the mussels, scallops tamales (a rare treat!) and our friend really enjoyed the pork dish. The music was a bit loud, but that's only because we're old!

The bar and its offerings are amazing! Do not go anyplace else to experience a tequila treat!

Fantastic all around. Delicious food and great service!!!

Great drinks and wonderful flavors and spice.

Great first experience. Wait staff was excellent!

Different and very good food!

Food was delicious and it was a beautiful day to sit at the outdoor patio. Will definitely go back.

Great food, superb cocktails, and attentive staff. We’d definitely dine at Zocalito again.

Excellent food, friendly knowledgeable service, good drinks, excellent value, unusually good spices, very interesting artwork from Mexico.

Super tasty ceviche, pozole, and chile relleno. Would order all three again. Large portions, not busy at noon on a Monday. Great lunch spot!
