    Traveling for business and we were referred to this restaurant. The surrounding location is adorable and the establishment itself had this lovely ambiance. Andrea and Kiana were amazing. Overall the entire staff was playful and attentive. They even helped us celebrate a birthday! The service was prompt, the cocktails were perfection and the food was delicious.

    Chips and salsa were ready at our table before we arrived, our drinks were never empty. It was convivial and a fun place to have a group dinner, though just the slightest bit noisy. The food was also tasty!

    We sat in the patio in order to hear better. We were able to linger after our lunch & not be rushed out. The weather was gorgeous. The food was absolutely excellent. Love this place.

    We came for Easter brunch with our little one. During our meal, the Easter bunny come by each table to say hello and drop off Easter eggs to the kids. They also had an area that provided face painting. Our daughter loved it! Food was delicious, as usual. Seriously, always a great experience at Zocalo Midtown!
