Zocalo

I bought a glass of Cuerbo Gold margarita at Zocalos and was surpriced when I was charged $ 11.00 then I ordered a Quesadilla for $ 16.95 that looked like (no lie) a soft taco with some cheese and chicken on it.. I spent like $30.00 bucks on a glass of margarita and a tiny punny quesadilla, Maybe they do that because of the location I dont know but that is just highway robbery in my opinion. also their margarita mix is done with cheap tequila all they do is add a shot of Patron, Cuerbo or witch ever one you get and charge you anywhere from $11.00-18.00 per glass....

I honestly never thought that I would be writing this review for my "soon to be" formal favorite Tex-Mex Restaurant. I've been a regular for nearly six years and have always been faithful to ZOCALO, but I've strongly been considering breaking up with ZOCALO. Breaking up is not easy especially when your children have practically grown up eating this food. Some of my greatest celebrations have been celebrated at ZOCALO, but things have started going SOUTH really fast. Their utter disregard for customer comfort is the main reason for our BREAKUP. As you all know for the past couple of weeks Atlanta has been one of many cities that has been experiencing extremely hot weather. The heat index has reached as high as 105 Degrees at times. Well I am the school of thought that believes you should be comfortable when you partake in a meal especially in a restaurant setting. Well these schmucks have taken it upon themselves to not repair the A/C or turn it on even. I am not sure if it doesn't work or they get some satisfaction at seeing their customers drenched in sweat while they are eating their meals. I personally cannot stand it, and have decided to let the world know as well. In conclusion, the food, staff, and location is GREAT, but TURN ON the A/C PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or it's OVER!!!!!

The service is great, the spot is really cool, but ayayay, the food, ay Dios mio, it's really embarrassing to recognize this as a latin food. From the first chip you eat there you can taste overly burnt oil, chicken as dry as rubber and soup totally tasteless. Salsa was good and the guacamole too, but I don't think anyone is going to live out of it. For sure guys you can go and waste your money as I did after someone else told me not to go there for food. Anyway, if you really want mexican food there's plenty of better places and by better I even mean Taco Bell. At the end I left almost the whole dish and my friend too, nevertheless the server didn't care in ask if the food was wrong. Well some experience to never go back there, at least not for food. Maybe beer.

Ok. So this is a place in atlanta so of course the prices are going to be a little high, but trust me when i tell you the food is not worth the price. I went with some friends looking for a place we never been to and we decided to go to Zocalos. Worst decision i made that month. We get there and the waiter is horrible. He treated my friends and I as if we did something wrong to him. then the "manager", as if he knew how to run the place, comes to our table to see the "problem" and he treats us like crap also. We paid for so called "mexican" food. $10 for a piece of tortilla looking thing, that didn't even taste good. Lets just say my friends did not have a good time. The waiter,manager, and the entire people working in the front were rude to us. There are so many places in atlanta with a much better environment and much better food. I really enjoyed Taco Mac in midtown. But if you decide to go there, please write down your experience and maybe other people will start believing these comments and avoid zocalos at all times.

watch out! they change your bill after you leave! and also, the valet parking is for expensive cars only, no handicap parking. there were empty parking spaces. nonetheless, i was turned down (with a handicap parking pass). a bentley rolled up and received a spot front row! i love jerks
