I'll start by saying that ... in reading some of the "negative" reviews on here ... people really will find anything to complain about. I love Mexican food. This place is a hidden gem!! If you're driving too fast on the 436, you will easily pass it. It's tucked back off the road, look for their blue sign or the inflatable tube man (that is usually waving its arms in the wind). Service is excellent, super friendly and welcoming. The spot is always very clean and inviting. Traditional Mexican music videos playing on a few tv screens, nothing too distracting...adds to the ambiance. We've tried quite a few dishes here and have never been disappointed: chicken enchiladas with house "special sauce", shrimp and mushroom enchiladas, the chicken tortilla soup is really flavorful and LARGE, grande burrito, chimichanga, and we always order guacamole. They never have a lot of customers (I would assume because of the set back location), I hate sharing one of my local favs but, I definitely want them to stay in business! read more

We were craving Mexican food and decided to try this independent local place. The servers were friendly and helpful. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and tasty. The house margaritas were too sweet for my taste. I was excited for the birria tacos after the rave reviews but the beef was dry. Same with the chicken in our other dishes. And everything seemed a bit bland. Weirdly, the next days leftovers tasted better. I want to give this restaurant one more shot. I'll ask for my margarita to be less sweet, and I'll go later in the evening to see if the meats are fresher cooked and more juicy and tender. read more

The service was very good by our server Jesus. The food was excellent. We had the chicken bowl and the Burrito Paisa (it was a mix of Colombian in Mexican flavors and meats). We will be back!! read more

This restaurant is tucked away amongst busy state road 436. It has a private parking lot dedicated to the patrons. The food was excellent and served quickly. The dining area is cozy and clean. Staff were friendly and the food was plentiful. read more

Can I share a secret? Zocalo 436 is local restaurant that serves up some great Mexican food! The spot took over another restaurant on 436 in Casselberry after they closed (RIP). The inside is cutely decorated. There is even a fun mural in the outside of the building. After you're seated, you'll be served complimentary chips and salsa. My favorite dish that I've tried is the birriaquillas. It is very filling. Taco Tuesday is an excellent deal with $2 tacos. As a dessert, the churros with ice cream is the way to go. Service is friendly and fast! I will be happy to return! read more

Great food, good prices and friendly service. What more could you want? Oh... unlimited chips and salsa, they have that too. They even offer an extra spicy salsa, if you so dare. The atmosphere was simple, clean and welcoming. If you're in the area and craving Mexican food, it's a good spot to stop. read more

I'll start by saying that I can't give a Mexican restaurant a 5-star review when the music they play is anything but Mexican. It's disappointing, especially considering the rich and diverse musical talent Mexico has to offer. I've noticed this trend with other restaurants as well, and it's frustrating. Mexican music would add so much to the atmosphere, and it's a missed opportunity. We visited on a Friday night, and the restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived, so we were seated right away. The service was good--the staff were very nice and attentive. The server promptly took our drink order and brought chips to the table. One thing I found odd was that it's hard to tell the servers apart from the regular customers at first. They don't wear uniforms or name tags, which could make the experience a bit confusing. Also, be prepared to bring a jacket because the air conditioning is uncomfortably cold. As for the food, I ordered the Fried Pork Belly Ceviche. I was expecting a generous portion of guacamole to accompany it, but instead, there was just a small spoonful. The Parrilla was good, nothing crazy. The flavor was okay--not bad, but nothing exceptional--and the pork belly wasn't as crunchy as I had hoped. Overall, the food is average, nothing special. I might visit again, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

I came in with a party of 3 on a Saturday night and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant is small but very very cute, and super clean! The staff got us seated right away, and everyone had a smile on their face. The appetizer was great - we got the queso. We had some food modifications as well and were accommodated with no problems. The food was super yummy - it tasted very fresh. I will definitely come back to this restaurant! read more

We went there for lunch. The food was good. A little on the pricey side for Mexican, but everything is going up. I'd recommend this place read more

Absolutely delicious. The spicy salsa(not the regular though the regular was super good) will knock you down with how spicy it is but the flavor also holds up! I had the Devil shrimp (I know it as camarones a la diabla) and it was the best I have had in years. I ate the whole plate and I never do that. My fiancé got the burrito paisa and it was delicious, fresh ingredients and well put together. Margaritas tasted refreshing! I will be coming back as often as I can! read more

What first attracted me to this restaurant was that it wasn't a big chain. Having worked in chain restaurants before, I was really craving something more authentic -- real Mexican food made with love. When we arrived early on a Friday evening, the place was almost empty. I thought we had stumbled onto a hidden gem that nobody else knew about -- but it turns out, we just beat the evening rush! Another thing I loved about this spot was the art on the walls -- it's perfect for a photo op. (If the sun hadn't set, I definitely would've snapped a picture for this review!) I'm not sure if the hostess seated us outside by choice or if our server was juggling a busy night, but either way, he did an awesome job taking care of us. We'll definitely be back for a date night soon, with pictures as well! read more

Very good food and attentive service. Relaxing music and great vibes. Will be back again.

Food was beyond the normal range of small restaurants. This was very good... definitely can't go wrong coming here. Service was very friendly and respectful. Ambience was very nice and calm. If you're looking for a weekend or after work spot this is definitely it. read more

Good Food and service seems family owned a run. atmosphere is ok but for me I would rather good food over good atmosphere

Zocalo is the best Mexican restaurant in the Casselberry area. It's a hidden gem. From the AMAZING service, the warm and welcoming restaurant ambiance, to its delicious menu this place deserves a 10/10 rating. Their seasoning is delicious, and you'll know the quality of their meat and produce. Kudos to the chefs/cooks for their incredible artistry. I recommend to come and try their Taco Tuesday special it's delicious!!! read more

My parents found this place shortly after they opened in September. They loved it; so for taco Tuesday, we gave it a try. We ordered the guacamole, burrito paisa, chicken, pork and ground beef tacos and pinto beans and rice. It was absolutely outstanding -- especially the pinto beans, salsa and guacamole. My kids devoured the beef tacos and the chips and guacamole. The restaurant is really cute inside -- you can tell they are trying to create a trendy and comfortable atmosphere. The prices are very affordable and I was really happy with the food. It's another great neighborhood/locally owned spot to support. Give them a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

The food was delicious! Very generous portion sizes for the price! This place had a very nice very clean outdoor seating patio. The service I received was phenomenal! I'll definitely be back here soon, and I'm so lucky that I live close by to this place! read more

Unfortunately my experience with me and my family wasn't the best service was awesome very kind and sweet people but sadly the food was horrible not even authentic Mexican food I'll tell you that my mother from Mexico and my father grew up in Los Angeles so they know what Mexican food taste like. Salsa was horrible taste like ketchup not even spicy the food and flavor were weird. read more

We just tried them for the first time. We started with the shrimp and cheese dip. I had the Xcaret chicken and sausage which came with nice avocado salad and rice. My wife had the birria tacos. They also offered a hotter salasa with the chips. It was nice and spicy! We enjoyed our lunch and will be back! read more
