Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Zocalo Midtown offers a vibrant atmosphere perfect for celebrations, featuring "great food" and "excellent service." The restaurant's festive vibe is complemented by live mariachi music on special occasions. Though it can be "very loud," the "friendly and attentive" staff and "delicious" dishes like ceviche and enchiladas make it a favorite.

    I had a lovely lunch here with a couple of friends. The restaurant is airy and pretty, the service was excellent, and the food was tasty. My husband and I come here for dinner fairly often, and it's consistently good.
