Freaking fantastic! The food is always amazing, and sometimes it feels like the staff read your mind, they're so on it. It's a little noisy, but everything else more than makes up for
We had outstanding service on a Friday night. They were busy but it was terrific service. The food was wonderful as well. A little noisy inside but we will definitely be back.

Very good food and margaritas (especially the blackberry one) with equally good service! Good selection of food and beer. Nice place too!

Great atmosphere! We had a company dinner here, and the pre-set menu with tacos de pescado, enchiladas, and Pico de gallo is delicious ?

This restaurant is equipped to seat large groups of more than 10. Our party of 3 was seated in a comfortable and roomy booth on Easter Sunday. The huevos rancheros is fantastic. We were attended by 2 waite staff, 2 managers and the Easter Bunny. Great place for brunch.

Always a win! When we go we have to order the fish tacos and the mole enchiladas (with carnitas- so so amazing!). Today we tried their brunch for the first time and ordered the chilaquiles (so deliciously addictive, I couldn't stop eating them) and their HUGE breakfast burrito. Super family friendly, great service and fabulous food!

Visited for the first time last night with a group (8) friends. The waiter was friendly and efficient. The free chips, salsa, and beans were delicious and were refilled without asking. The waiter also noticed my drink was low and refilled without asking so; that is always a plus! However, when it comes to the food being brought out warm is another story. My husband's three cheese enchiladas were cold. I tried them and they were indeed cold. Other people at the table said their meals were cold also. The waiter replaced the cheese enchiladas but brought out two and not three like originally ordered. They refunded the three enchiladas. However, the replacement enchiladas were also cold. The sauce was cold like room temperature at best. Not sure how the kitchen stores the sauces but whatever they are doing is not working. I ordered the chicken enchiladas in mole sauce. The sauce is good but nothing like my favorite restaurant, El Tapatio. Don't understand the appeal of the place except the ambiance. The price for the food is ridiculous. But I guess everything has gone up. This will be our only time visiting Zocalo's.

We recently had a great experience at the Zocalo's Mexican restaurant in Folsom, Ca. We were greeted and made to feel very welcome when we sat down at the bar. The bar staff, I believe her name was Kelly, was very helpful when recommending margarita's. I mentioned I was a fan of mezcal, and Kelly suggest the Maiz Mezcalita, made with smoky mezcal, a sweet corn liquor, fresh lime and a splash of OJ, a must-try. My wife has a penchant for blackberry margarita's which again, Kelly recommended the Blackberry Margarita made with, you guessed it, blackberry puree. Another hit!For the food, we started with the guacamole appetizer which to our surprise was a generous serving. The guac was great and we held back on finishing it off, so we didn’t spoil our dinner. I went on to have the Cochinita Pibil tacos: smoked pork with this amazing glaze and a not-too-spicy habanero salsa…just incredible. My wife had the Steak Taco’s consisting of steak, potatoes, green peppers and a salsa. Who would have thought of putting potatoes in a taco? Whoever the made scientist was, it works and works very well (of course I tried a bite, or two).All in all, we were more than satisfied and look forward to dining there again to try some of the other menu offerings.

This is the best Zocalo location! Food is always just what I want! Even better is the bar staff, they always make me feel welcome. I visit the bar a few times a month and Kelly always remembers my drink preferences as well as my spouse. She is very friendly and personable, she is part of the reason we like to eat there! Of course the chips and salas is very tasty! If you are hosting a party this is the place! They have a back room that can accommodate many. Love them!
Wow! What an amazing surprise for Mexican food. The atmosphere is beautiful and all the food was incredible. It is definitely our new favorite Mexican food restaurant. I can't wait to go back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

I ordered the shrimp and fish ceviche. It was fresh, good flavor, not spicy which is great. You can add jalapeños on the side. The flavor was delicious! Also ordered a Virginia guava margaritas and it was delicious. The location is big, clean and in a good location. I will definitely come back with my family or as a business lunch or dinner.

Bar staff was amazing the last time. My wife and I stopped in. Dre and Ivan know hospitality, and go above and beyond when taking care of customers. They're so kind and helpful, and Dre's creativity when he gets the chance To hop back behind the bar is unmatched. Keep being great assets to Folsom Zocalo

Love their happy hour, especially the bartender Dre! He is so funny, attentive, has great customer service and is friendly. I love his margs!
