Steak Chimichurri, Pescado, Chicken Pipian
Jasmyne G.

This place is amazing! Def a hidden Co springs Gem. The ceviche and tacos I had were so delicious!

We had an amazing dinner at Zócalo! The esquite tacos were great and Emily was fantastic! We had so much sitting in the swings and looking out. Great atmospher

This was such a fun spot, with amazing happy hour specials. We sat in a swing (more comfortable than I had anticipated) and enjoyed their chips and salsa, queso, and guacamole, along with a tasty guava margarita. They had $3 tacos, so I ordered two quesabirria and one chicken pipian (chicken and mole.) both exceeded expectations. I would have stopped by again, if I didn't have such a short visit. I appreciate a restaurant that takes pride in their craft, and serves delicious food at a reasonable price. Would totally come back!

Fun find while vacation in Springs! Airy but intimate interior with a creative and vegetarian-friendly menu.

Poke nachos and the enchilada platter. The nachos were better than Waikiki (tuna sashimi was under the fried wontons as well). The fried wonton wrappers are thin and cooked just right. We were not full. Enchiladas were awesome, one of each cheese, chicken and beef. With red and green. Mom and dad would have loved it here. Spanish rice tasted like MomS. End the night with Flan and a drink from the Chef Sergio himself. Mmmmmm His Brother at the bar was excellent You need to try this place in downtown Colorado Springs Zocalo Colorado Springs. Sorry for partially eaten picture. Need to try before critique. Our best for Food from Mexico in Denver and Colorado Springs

Vegan tacos

Holy cow! The best - the absolute best vegan tacos I have ever had! Go there! The wait staff is wonderful and the food is spectacular.

Margarita w/ Mi Campo Tequila
Justin G.

We went here for our layover and had brunch . The quesabirria and chicken pipian were my fave! Being in here makes you feel like you've been transported to Tulum,Mx . The bartender named Eduardo was an absolute joy and made delicious drinks (margs to be exact)! Great customer service and well worth my money. I can't wait to come back.

Ensalada mixta
Bev C.

The Ensalada mixta was probably the best salad I've ever had. Besides shredded romaine, it had avocado, corn, roasted green peppers and a great tasting dressing. Service was fast and friendly on a Saturday afternoon. Decor interesting and not over the top. Don't go for the brisket quesadilla. Tough and an off flavor. It was like chewing a piece of rubber. It's the only issue we've ever had at Zocalo

Seamus K.

Great vibes, great food. Best Tacos in COS, and fun atmosphere. Service is top notch as well.

So I first want to be clear that when we went, we had a coupon that gave us one free appetizer or a…read morefree glass of house wine per person during happy hour. So we did go to use that (although or waitress didn't read it I don't think because she only gave us one free glass of wine when it said per person). But that's not a problem! We were grateful nonetheless! So yes, we did go to happy hour. This board was really nice, but they never said what each item on the board was. So I have no clue what the meats and cheeses are. For a place that says they are known for boards, you'd think they'd share what is on our board. I think the value is alright for what you get! But I would say that there are other places around (Cork and Cask) that have a better value for your buck! This is still a gorgeous presentation and it's a good chill vibe at this spot. The wine was good. But I don't know if I'd come back unless I had another coupon I fear.... And the service was not great even though the place wasn't super packed. Sad because I hoped I would've liked this place better but maybe I'll come for dinner!

I wish I could give this place five stars but the end of the night has me frustrated which is why…read moreit's four. I'll start with the positive. The food is fantastic. Steak bites, truffle fries, brownie skillet... I want to come back just to try more food alone. This was insane and the pricing was good, the value was good, and I even ordered truffle fries to go because I loved it so much! What is super fun is that they now have wine tastings on Tuesdays and it is a great deal. $12 for four wines. Someone tells you about each wine and it's a great way to sample a bunch of wines, both local and not. I was super excited about that! I will again, come back to do that! Lots of positives there. And our server was very sweet. She was checking in and making sure we were doing well. I wish I knew her name but sadly I don't. But she was so kind and had a great personality. And everything came out fast! The vibes are also good. I love the outdoor seating/patio options for a hot summer night. And it was very lush. It's funny because I had never heard of this place before but it is in a fantastic area near Night Ramen and Provision Bakery (two amazing spots). Breakfast at Provision, apps and drinks at My Cellar Wine Bar, and maybe a dinner at Night Ramen. Haha! Just kidding, but again, great spot. Here's where I have issues. I worked in the restaurant industry for six years. I understand staying over close and even coming in close to close is a no no (at least for me). But we arrived at 7:30 pm and stayed until 9:45 pm. One of my best friends is getting married so she wanted to show us her dress and share her excitement. At 9 pm (note they close at 10 pm), they turned on the lights, began sweeping, closed the kitchen, and even at one point blasted music. We asked the waitress when they closed the wine bar. 10 pm. But what frustrated me the most is that the manager (I assume) came over and was acting extremely condescending. "I know you girls are having such a good time!!" And was trying to usher us out. Girl. You don't close until 10 pm. It's 9:45. If you didn't want us to stay, then maybe change the hours. I don't care if we are the only ones there. It was extremely rude and the way she said it felt, as I said, condescending. Like we were young and dumb or something. As a diner, I expect great service. Which we got for the most part. But to kick us out before it closes is unprofessional and frustrating. Of course we left, but god forbid a girl get excited about her wedding and wants to share all about it. This left a sour taste in my mouth and again, if you wanted to close early, maybe don't tell patrons the actual time you close: 10 pm. We bought a lot and a bottle of wine. Let us finish our glasses and I promise we will leave before close. I would still come back, but maybe I'll go to Vine and Wheel or another wine bar first.

Popped in for the first time, and I'm kicking myself that I didn't know this spot was here before…read morenow. The staff was so well informed about wine selections and the libations were amazing! I sat next a wall/door that would open during nice weather, and as we were leaving there were groups of people playing mahjong! How cool! I hope to come back before they move their location downtown.

The first time I was there was many years ago, when the warm fireplace with couches was a centerpiece and memorable. It's upstairs, off the street, windows looking out. I finally made it back with a friend, and we had a great time; however, as John C. said in his comments, I can relate to the (still current) problems they seem to be facing with only one employee available, and no one to make the cheese fondue we were looking forward to. We settled for a cheese and hummus & olive plates, which were good, just not what we wanted. I do not recall the fireplace going. There were a couple of other parties seated at tables, and it seemed as though our server was a bit overwhelmed. He did know about the wine, which we appreciated. I do not wish to write off this special place and am hopeful they will make improvements based on reviews like this one.

It's a fun vibe, especially with a larger group, but harder to talk because it is loud. There are three drink stations--wine, mixed drinks, and beer. Our party sampled all of them. Very nice. Everything is connected when you start a tab, so you don't have to worry about paying at each station. My wife and I shared the sanctuary salad--delightful! We add bacon as our protein and had the smoked tea vinaigrette--doesn't sound like much, but it made the salad great! Daughters ordered the charcuterie board, which was delicious. And we ordered the chocolate mousse for desert--very rich, like fudge. Mmm. Highly recommended!! If you are in Colorado Springs you have to try it. Service was very, very good. At the end of the night, I asked my wife how much she thought it cost for the four of us to have dinner and drinks. She said, "$200." It was $120 with tip.

We arrived for our 5pm reservation a few minutes early and were promptly seated by a super sweet hostess. She even acknowledged our anniversary and asked how our day had been so far. When our server arrived, she provided water and took our drink orders. I order the special "The Purple Drank" and my husband tried to order an iced tea but was told they don't serve tea, only water and Pepsi products. Ok, water it is...without any ice I might add. The Purple Drank came dressed with an orange sugar gummy candy and the drink looked orange as well. It tasted like nothing but grape vodka...and not a high quality one at that. We ordered an appetizer: Garlic Truffle Frites. They were just ok. Frozen, thin, crispy fries with maybe a little truffle oil, garlic seasoning, bag Parmesan cheese, an aioli dipping sauce. For entrees: Mediterranean Chicken Pasta and Chicken Cordon Bleu. The chicken pasta presentation was what you would see at a chain restaurant and everything accompanying the chicken was so smothered in oil, you couldn't really taste the flavor or the food. The cordon bleu was a frozen heat and serve with virtually little chicken, ham, or cheese. To say I was disappointed is really an understatement. We were in and out in less than an hour for a special occasion dinner. Synopsis: Atmosphere: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Hostess: 10/10 Server: 4/10 (never even acknowledged our special occasion) Specialty Drink: 2/10 Food: 2/10 I really wanted to live this place, but definitely didn't.
