| - I found myself walking past Zocalo on E 4th a number of times during lunch and at night and the majority of the time especially during lunch this place is packed. So I finally decided to go in and give it try, why not how bad can it be or good. So I started with a drink with tostadas and salsa, the waitress was very nice and on her "A" game. As I dipped in to the salsa and tasted it I found myself tasting a very bland, flat tasting, paste of marinara sauce. Yup marinara sauce not salsa marinara sauce. Very poor poor poor tasting salsa.
Next I ordered an enchilada plate with cheese inside them, refried pinto beans, and Mexican rice. As I took a bite of the red enchilada I have to say it was the worse enchilada I have ever tasted, the enchilada tasted like lasagna, the beans tasted straight out of the can, and the rice tasted like Uncle Bens instant rice with tomato sauce in it.
I have to say this is very subpar Mexican food and that's being nice, I now it's Cleveland and the restaurant has to cater to a different customer but boy was this poor tasting food. I make 100 times better Mexican food at my home kitchen then this place does. If this place needs some help when it comes to making salsa I can give them ideas, if they need some help in making better enchiladas I can help, and if you need help in finding authentic ingredients I can help. I know what real good quality Mexican food is and this isn't it.
Oh and by the way bar tenders Silver tequila is not good tequila reposado and añejo are. Know you're tequilas and aging process.
