Zolo Grill

Love the menu, the service and atmosphere. The menu changes just enough to keep it interesting but you can depend on the old favorites. My favorite overall restaurant in Boulder.

Great service and the BEST banana cream pie!

Yummy guac salsa and chips. Lovely patio. Watery mushroom tamales. I think this is an anomaly. Others had redfish or sweet potato tacos and all 4 of us ate everything on our plate (except the pool of watery sauce). Then we shared a fabulous banana cream pie with a delicious crust and smothered in whipped cream!

So delicious!

Celebrated the 4th with friends. Always a fun time at one of our fave restaurants!

Phenomenal food and great atmosphere. Loved the patio.

Waiter was spotty with his attention. Everything was delicious except for shrimp appetizer. Duck tacos and chicken enchiladas were particularly delicious.

We eat here often. The creative spin on Southwestern favorites are great.

Quick attentive service. Mushroom tamales with butternut squash hash was very creatively prepared and presented. Chicken enchiladas were hearty and flavorful. Casual comfy atmosphere, surrounded by
Local artwork.

Everything we ordered was fabulous! The blackened fish tacos were the best I have ever had, and that is saying a lot. The enchiladas and the fried peppers were astounding as well. We have gone here for years, and it just keep getting better!

Our server, Bear?, was great. He Came to our table the perfect amount of time to let our lunch meeting continue without interruption. Will be back.

We sat outside for lunch. Lovely with beautiful hanging baskets of flowers. Our group shared the 3 different types of tacos (sweet potato, fish, carnitas). We all loved them all. So much flavor! We also split a piece of the banana cream pie for dessert. Also super yummy, with added drizzles of chocolate and maybe caramel syrups.

The banana cream pie was not of the amazing, crave-creating quality I remembered. We reserved two pieces to share and our adult kids left theirs unfinished, ours was consumed but the crust seemed under-cooked, along with an overall lack of flavor..?

Rest of the food was great. We will return and try other desserts.

Table was ready for us when we arrived, good attentive service, forgot to bring us condiment, but overall good service. Sitting outside was a plus, perfect place to spend Father's Day.

Fathers Day Brunch. This has been a go to place for 25 years!

Tasty, authentic southwestern fare! Good desserts.

The grill never disappoints. Each time I travel to boulder I make sure that I have a meal there. Happily introduced it to family in the area. The queso is unparalleled and the churrros are sublime.

Very good — excellent service and same yummy food!

Loved it last time when they made the guacamole fresh at the table...now it tastes like it was ‘pre-made and they threw in a few fresh chucks. Duck wings were over fried and the pork chili was gluey. But I can’t fault the cocktails.
We will not go back. Too many better choices in Boulder.

Zolo's has consistently great food, the service is excellent, and we love being able to make a reservation online.

Fabulous food and tequila highly recommend wonderful service

Male server was bad, not attentive, didn't check back, not personable. I think the AWESOME MANAGER did as much as the server, seriously. One should not have to flag someone down after waiting and waiting.
First bad experience so still love it.

Love this great restaurant!
We had a great 80th birthday party
Celebration!

A great place in Boulder! Easy to find parking, but its good to make reservations.

Very good and accommodating!

Five of us for met for an in formal business lunch we started with chips and salsa and each ordered an entrée - a shrimp appetizer to share. Our meals were served promptly and all were excellent.3/4 of the way through the meal the waiter apologetically brought the appetizer and told us there would be no charge. We enjoyed the appetizer and then the manager came by with yet another of the same shrimp dish explaining she thought the first one looked a bit too small. Both of these service gestures surprised us and delighted us. Thank you so much Zolo grill for your professionalism and attention to detail.

I live in Greenwood Village, but this is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and beautifully prepared and presented. I can't recommend highly enough.

We’ve been coming to Zolo for years. Our last visit was sadly disappointing. The guacamole was dull - no flavor. The decision to serve fish tacos on a wooden board was not practical. There was no space to prepare or eat the taco. The fish was drenched in oil. And sadly, our server never took the time to listen to us. Even though we told him we did not eat meat, he proceeded to tell us about the pork special. That was indicative of the whole experience- indifferent food and service. Hopefully, this was a one-time glitch. It happens. We hope things improve.

Good good and great service always add up to an experience worth repeating. We will definitely come back to Zolo in the future.

Zolo Grill is a perfect place for a relaxed, unhurried lunch. The staff is very pleasant, the food is very good to excellent, the atmosphere and ambiance is pleasant, especially on a nice day when the windows are open and there is a feel of being in the outside elements even when sitting inside. Zolo Grill is definitely one of the best places, if not the best, in Boulder for lunch.

Making a reservation on this app doesn’t matter to this restaurant. We waiting for 15 mins to be seated. And another couple came in after us and didn’t have a reservation and got sat down before us. After getting our secluded seats in the very back of the restaurant. We sat there for 10 mins and no one greeted us. So we left. And hostess who sat us clearly saw us leave told us to have a good night. Didn’t care to ask why we were leaving or is there something wrong.

Staff could be more friendly and attentive. It took a while to get our drinks and we didn’t have silverware when our desert was delivered so used our fingers. Music was terribly loud and had to ask a couple times to turn it down.

Great Mother’s Day brunch. Food was great, especially enjoyed the churros with whipped chocolate and rhubarb purée. Would definitely go back.

The waiter trying to up-sell everything got to be a bit much. When I wanted a simple martini I ended up getting a $23.00 cocktail. I was not told the price ahead of time. Then they got the entree orders wrong. Not a great experience.

Excellent, would definitely return. Everyone at the table loved their food and drinks.

Such a disappointment! The food has seriously gone downhill, and the menu is much less inventive. Avoid!

I had not been to Zolo Grill in over 20 years . My friend & I wanted to celebrate Cinco de Mayo a day early . Table for 2 at 6:30. Restaurant was very crowded but we were seated quickly. ( with reservations)Service by a friendly waiter was prompt for the first half of meal , then slowly eroded towards the end. I counted his tables & I believe it was upwards of 5-6 , one table having about 15 people. Considering his load he did very well . We had to wait about 20 minutes for our check .
Food was very spicy . Next time I will take more time to read the menu . Definitely woke up the taste buds. I had been wanting to try sweet potato tacos & they were on the menu so that’s what I had. Presentation of 3 tacos was very unique- looked like dried grasses on a plate collected from a field . Taco part - the base- could have been better- kind of cardboardy, not much flavor. Sweet potato & topping was delicious . Friend had Hazel Dell mushroom tamales which were served with sweet potato & kale on the side. She added they were very spicy as well . Appeared to be vegetarian .lovely preservation .
We had chips & salsa as appetizer . She had a margarita .
Bill was about $60.00 more than I usually pay at a Mexican restaurant but food here was definitely farm to table & above the fray.
For a special occasion I would go back & try another entree- maybe rellenos or chicken enchiladas.
Reservations a necessity I think on weekend nights.

The menu was unique and varied and big enough, yet it seemed like there was not very many things to choose from. We all enjoyed the food, nobody complained and nobody raved. Some of the portions were huge (pancakes) and some were comparatuvely small (sweet potato tacos and biscuits and gravy). For Boulder, there were surprisingly few options for special diets (gluten/dairy-free...) The service was friendly, but terribly slow even though they weren't very busy. We chose this restaurant because they could seat a large party together, and they did that satisfactorily. They had ample seating for multiple large parties and they take large reservations online through OpenTable, which was a plus. Many places won't take a reservation online for more than 8 or 10. I would recommend if you are looking for a twist on the standard breakfast menu and for large parties.

overall good, my plate was disappointing the enchilada which from what i understand is a popular dish. not sure what happened here, maybe a new cook.

Great food and service. Not too spicy this time. Free tequila samples. Chips and guacamole to start. Right consistency and flavor. I had the crispy relleno deluxe. Excellent. Pepper was battered and deep-fried. Surrounded by salsa, meat and beans. Wife had fish tacos. Excellent too. Build your own. Good selection of tequilas and beer.
