Are all the negative reviews a planned sabotage? I was in town for the Rock N Roll Museum and needed a taco fix. It was Taco Tuesday and happy hour at Zocalo and it was a lot of fun. The neighborhood of Fourth Street is real nice and the outside seating at Zocalo adds to the enjoyment. The tacos range from $1-$4 depending on what you get and half off margaritas during half hour are worth the price. My meal was pretty cheap and I don't think i would pay more than what I did for this food. As an Americanized Mexican cuisine it was good, the open faced tacos and selected ingredients bring rather close to the authentic feel. The food was moist and flavorful, the corn tortillas were warm and soft, however the chips were on the greasy side and the salsa was a bit bland with out adequate spice.
I need to break down my review a bit:
Food = 3 stars, Environment = 4 Stars, Drinks = 3.5 Stars
If i had to return to Zocalo i would do so on the same day of the week and same time. I am unsure if the place is worth the real price of the drinks (10 bucks for a margarita) and the food.
