| - the Toronto Lover system:
5 stars = Must visit!
4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.
3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.
2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.
1 star = Do not visit!
When Zocalo first made an appearance at Bloor and Symington, locals and visitors had to wonder: "How long will this place last?"
Nestled in between a convenience store and a row of broken down homes, a trendy restaurant with a romantic evening decor had about as much chance as, well, tits on a bull.
Zocalo has proven what idealists talk about, but no one ever sees: quality, good food, and a spectacular product has met with success. It is frequently packed, and the place is doing better than anyone expected.
First, note the prices. They've managed to offer gourmet flavoured appetizers and entrees at around $10 each. This place puts high-end restaurants to shame with such fair and delicious pricing. The value is unbeatable.
There is no better service in this city. There is hardly better food. I've been here a number of times: the homemade sausage, the pot pies, the cheese plates, the broken bread platters... it's all inventive, tasty, and absolutely worth it.
I love this restaurant. I hope it never changes!
5 Stars
