I am having trouble remembering much about this place and I was only here a month ago. That should say a lot.
What I do remember:
The decor
The service
Let's start this off on a positive note, shall we? The decor was awesome. Bright and beautiful colors with a grand stairway. The art and little details all flowed together with the theme. Great for a Mexican restaurant.
Yes, they were busy. However, the service was so slow that it will go down in my "restaurant patron" history as the slowest to date. Seriously? It was a two hour dining experience. If my friends and I didn't have tickets to a concert at the House of Blues, it wouldn't have been as big a deal as it was. Not only that but the food was forgettable.
Chips and salsa? Forgettable. Margaritas? Don't remember what they tasted like. Tacos? I remember thinking they were OK but I don't recall anything else about the food. That, along with everything else, doesn't make for a good time.
Why, you ask, did I give Zocalos a three instead of a two or one? Because I believe that sometimes restaurants have off nights. After reading some reviews from Yelpers I tend to agree with, I decided that may just be what happened and I will eventually give Zolcalas another try.
