   I really like this restaurant especially for dinner before a show at Rocket Mortgage Field-house because they validate valet parking on East 4th and they understand that people need to get their food and get to the show.

   Zocalo ClevelandResponded on October 21, 2019Hi Melissa! Thanks for your great review! Hope you enjoyed the concert....we heard rave reviews. We hope to see you real soon.

   This place is the worst. Out of control and chaos everywhere. 10 minutes for waiter to arrive. Food showed up with no utensils - 5 minutes extra to get those. Dirty non-serviced tables all over restaurant. This place needs to shut down and give up prime location to another viable restaurant.

   We had a group of 8 at 7 pm on a Monday night. There were very few customers in the restaurant. Service was very slow and it took almost 45 minutes after we ordered to get our food. About a 1/3 of our group got their food first and were done eating before the rest received it. Some of the food was not hot and the overall service was poor. I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

    The place was PACKED with the Indians and Browns game fans, who were not being very civil with poor girl working at the hostess stand. She did a valiant job of handling everyone and not just breaking into tears. Instead, we got a smile and were seated with our OpenTable reservation without any problem. SO glad we made the reservation. Our server was great, visited the table often and kept her cool despite the chaos. Seriously, given the situation, they handled it like pros!

    Very disappointed that the website I went to was incorrect- listed happy hour as 2-7 Mon- Fri. Passed by other restaurants/bars on 4th street with Happy Hours to go to Zocalo and got there and no happy hour on Friday. Prices were a bit high for what you got and food was ok. Server was good - though had to ask for plates for our shared appetizers and look for knives from someone else. Will not return- too many other choices.

    Zocalo was affordable and the food was what you’d expect. We weren’t blown away but everything was prepared nicely and tasted good. If you want to go downtown without spending a fortune, this is a good option. We had the tacos, enchiladas and shared a margarita. We got out of there for around $50.

    Great location but honestly the food is slightly above average for Mexican. I get fajitas everywhere I go and theirs was uninspiring. The onions and peppers were overcooked, and the meat was just thrown on top. The main reason I go here is location - the food is better here than inside Progressive.

    Zocalo ClevelandResponded on August 8, 2019Good morning Norm. Thank you for choosing Zocalo over the weekend before going over to watch our Tribe!

    we had the beyond beef tacos and street fries with the same beyond beef. I was so happy to see a veg meat options and the tacos were so delicious. The street fries were also great. I ordered the blood orange margarita and it was so good, I ended up having 4!! Even though it was very busy, the wait for our food was not long at all, everything was hot, fresh and really really delicious.

    Our table of 6 had a reservation before the Indians game. The hosts were busy (in slow motion) setting up a table for a large party which kept the line of guests on hold. Once seated, our waiter did his best to serve us during a busy 5:30 pm dinner crowd. The atmosphere and location are terrific for downtown with plenty of nearby parking. The food and drinks were good. Keep your expectations in check when the place is busy. Our last drink order took nearly 30 minutes...when we were ready to leave for the game. The server understood and did not charge for that drink. FYI - the impossible taco was really good as a veggie option.

    Zocalo ClevelandResponded on August 6, 2019Thanks Chuck, for you visit and your 4* review. We sure can get packed and appreciate your understanding! Hope to see you soon.

    This was my 3rd time going to Zocalo. The food was fantastic and I can't say enough good things about the drinks. I sat at the bar with my daughter while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive. The bartender was attentive, refilling chips and salsa without us needing to ask. He was great! However, the service once we were seated (we had a reservation for 6) was not that great. The waiter didn't smile - even once. We were not a high maintenance group at all. We were just there to have some drinks and eat dinner. It wasn't that busy and we would have probably stayed there longer if he would have smiled at us or even been nice. He made us feel guilty for even being there. Instead we left as soon as we were done eating and went to another bar. Fortunately East 4th has so many options that it wasn't a big deal to find another place to go to. I'm hoping this was a fluke. I will definitely go back to see.

    Zocalo has always been 1 of favorites, mostly because their salsa is by far the best in the city. Their drinks are world class margaritas and what an awesome tequila selection. Fred, a manager there, barrel aged a tequila mixed w/ Cointreau and it was delightful!!! I wish I knew the name but be sure to always ask the bartenders what new tequilas and infusions they have going! We had a party of 11! Big group. At first the server seen a little annoyed at having to serve a big party, or maybe just us, I'm not sure, but she eventually warmed up to us! I'm so glad because we were celebrating a 50th bday and I would hate to have an attitude ruin it! It turned out great! We ordered tons of margaritas, a few guacs, some quesos and the chips kept getting refilled and refilled. We probably shouldn't have filled up on those chips... We all had left overs from our entrees. I ordered the salad, it was amazing, I LOVED the chipotle vinaigrette dressing. At our table the tres enchiladas and fajitas all had big reviews as well!!

    Zocalo ClevelandResponded on July 30, 2019Alexandra thank you and your group for choosing to celebrate with us at Zocalo! We really loved your great 5* review and will share it today with our team! Great way to start our day! We hope to see you soon!

    The food and drinks here was very good.. I’m giving it four stars because of the patrons.. not really something the restaurant can control, but a good number of the people there were younger, loud and overserved. Possibly just that evenings experience and not something that would stop my husband and I from returning as everything else was great!!

    I had a party of 7 to celebrate my daughter's birthday and Zocalo was a great choice. We were lucky and it was a beautiful evening and with an Indian's game happening that same evening the streets were bustling with people! I appreciate immensely that Zocalo validates parking! The food was delicious and the service was outstanding.
