| - My girlfriend and I were attending a late night show at the House of Blues and wanted to have dinner beforehand so we thought we would give Zocalo a try based on several recommendations from our friends.
Upon being seated we received a tiny bowl of bland salsa and a basket of overly salty, cold, hard, oily corn tortilla chips. The waitress brought us a drink menu, took our order for guacamole, and offered to bring us some water while we were deciding on drinks. We snacked on the chips and salsa and decided to order a $38 pitcher of blood orange margaritas. The waitress came back about 15 minutes later, without the waters, and took our drink order.
About 15 minutes later the waitress came back, still no drinks, and prepared our guacamole table side. The guacamole was fresh and simple but was too bland for my tastes and lacked texture. We were very hungry however so we continued to eat the chips, salsa and guacamole. We were beginning to get pretty thirsty at this point from the overly salty chips.
Despite being there for over 30 minutes without drinks and not having placed our food order I was still optimistic the experience would get better once we had received the amazing margaritas I had heard so much about. After waiting almost 45 minutes we finally received our drinks and placed our meal order.
Now you would expect a place that prides itself on both it's tequila selection and large margarita menu to deliver something special. Well the margaritas we received were so watered down by the amount of ice they used that the flavor was basically nonexistent. These were the most pathetic margaritas I have ever drank, if you could even call them margaritas. I could not believe that Zocalo had the audacity to charge $38 per pitcher, while using poor quality tequila (Jose Cuevro) in them, but on that on top of that the they used so much ice that you were basically getting flavored water. Their bartender should be fired, as obviously he has no clue how to make a margarita, and Zocalo should be ashamed that they are try to sell $38 pitchers of water and pass them off as margaritas.
At this point the experience was completely ruined for me. I spent the rest of the time trying to drink my margarita as fast as I could before any more of the ice could melt and water it down further. We received our meal, Zócalo Favoritos, which I will translate as bland fajitas that surprisingly contain yellow wax beans, zucchini, asparagus, along with the standard onions, peppers and meat. Some people might enjoy this modern take on fajitas, I did not.
The services was terrible, We never did receive our waters, the food was mediocre at best, and the margaritas were just downright pathetic. How Zocalo stays open is beyond me but I will never go there again.
