One of our favorite stops for brunch and dinner! Generous portions and good kids menu. Love the outdoor garden too. Great service from Tuyen! read more

Our new favorite Mexican restaurant in the greater Sac area, will definitely be returning here. The guac was so good and so large, it's just pure avocado heaven. The steak and enchiladas were also good, the mole on top of the enchiladas was very sweet though if you are expecting savory. 100% my favorite rice and beans side I've had at any Mexican restaurant, the black beans are seasoned exceptionally and the cilantro rice was really tasty. As usual, exceptional service and environment, part of the reason we will be returning at some point! read more

We made reservations at Zócalo after a day out on the water at Folsom Lake, and everyone was ready for a meal. We were delighted by the huge venue. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with impressive lamps and is super clean. They offer plenty of food choices, and the staff was friendly and attentive. They also provide a rare complimentary serving of chips, beans, and salsa, which was excellent. Our party of seven thoroughly enjoyed our plates; every meal was superb. The restaurant is awesome, and if I lived in Folsom, this would easily be my go-to place to watch World Cup soccer. read more

Zocalo Folsom - one of the 4 locations in the Sacramento area. Located in the Broadstone Plaza complex with plenty of parking available. This location is huge with options for indoor or outdoor dining. This restaurant is beautifully and carefully decorated with lots of character to it. From the hostess to the server, we felt very welcomed and well taken cared of. Came in on a Friday afternoon for happy hour which runs from 3:00 - 6:00pm Mon-Fri. Which I believe is a good happy hour place. Got here at around 3:30pm and was seated right away. For Happy Hour, pricing was reasonable contrary to what other diners have said. Looking at the regular menu, it is indeed pricey. For this happy hour, we ordered Blackberry Margarita and Maiz Mescalita for drinks. The cocktails were as good as I wanted it to be and they were not stingy with the amount of alcohol on it. When you think of HH - you think lower prices, crappy drinks and food but not here. For food, we ordered Baja Fish Tacos, Zoca Quesadilla and Ceviche de Guaymas. They do serve complimentary warm tortilla chips with salsa mesa and black bean dip. Great service, good food and a chill atmosphere. Definitely recommend Zocalo if you haven't yet try it. May 2026 read more

Never been to any of the four Zócalos in the Sac area before. Since we had a later event in Folsom, we decided to make our drive worth it and have a few Happy Hour bites and booze here. Glad we did! Arrived at 4pm on a Friday (HH is 3-6 M-F) with plenty of parking slots and seats to choose from. Happy Hour wasn't limited to the a specific section like some places. Ronni and another server came immediately with complimentary warm tortilla chips, salsa mesa and black bean dip as soon as we were sat. We had dip refills arrive as fast when they noticed our almost empty dishes. I had the Maīz Mezcalita while my wife got the Blackberry Margarita. Fantastic cocktails with the right balance of sweet & strong. Our apps were (arranged best to good) Baja Fish Tacos, Zoca Quesadilla and Ceviche de Guaymas. Great service and awesome atmosphere. No wonder Zócalo is popular. Often during happy hour, bars would skimp on the alcohol and bites. Not here. We will definitely be back read more

We had another fantastic meal. Our server Anna was great as always. She has been out several times and always welcomes us back with a smile. The food today was delicious. I ordered a pitcher of their blackberry margaritas and was happy I did. The fresh blackberries make it feel healthy lol. My wife loves the fish tacos and gets them every time. I normally get the enchiladas and have never been disappointed. read more

Another wonderful experience at Zocalo! The food, ambiance, and service were 5 stars. Tuyen took excellent care of our party and was juggling two large parties on top of us. This restaurant is great for families, birthdays and nights out with friends. read more

Tuyen was a great server and food was excellent!! We had a baby and a toddler and they both enjoyed it as well.

Tuyen was an amazing server! Super friendly, attentive, and made our experience at Zócalo even better. Great service all around

Great stop on the drive back from Tahoe! We came for brunch and margaritas, and everything was great. Tuyen was an excellent server--super friendly, helpful, and really knowledgeable about tequila. He made the experience even better. Definitely a great stop on the way home! read more

I came here on a whim for Mother's Day. It exceeded my expectations! Food: Initially I thought they had eggs benedict. They didn't.... But they had sooo many other good options. I knew I'd get full quickly. So, I appreciated they had a half French toast option. The guacamole was amazing! So creamy. The salsa was great too. Was not too smokey or spicy (just right). We also got their version of steak and eggs as well as pancakes. The pancakes (omg) melt in your mouth . (Note this was a holiday so may not apply during every visit) I was really surprised to get a complimentary mimosa and mini cake (forgot the name). They actually gave each of us our own a mini cake. Overall between everything we ordered it had a good balance of sweet and salty. Everything was so flavorful. Service: Our server was excellent. She was on point when asking for recommendations. They also do reservations online, which was really simple. Ambiance: The decor is beautiful. So unique too. I would go here just for the ambiance. You almost feel transported to a different country. Totally worth it. read more

The patio was great and the service good. The food was hit and miss. Breakfast tacos were good as were the rice and beans. Huevos rancheros were not. Nice flavor to the sauce but the meat was tough and inedible. My over-easy eggs were hard. Tortillas were tough and chewy. Rather a disappointment. read more

Thank you Tuyen! Our girls night out dinner was amazing at one of our favorite restaurants and having you as our server made it and even more wonderful experience. read more

Overall, I enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. I ordered the burrito bowl with chicken and was pleasantly surprised. It was a well balanced meal with solid flavor, and I really enjoyed their guacamole. The service was alright, however our server could have been better about refilling our waters--as mine remained empty after I drank it all about halfway through my meal... read more

We love this place, but today I finally write a review. I completely messed up thinking carnitas was asada and messed up when ordering. They immediately said they would fix it and take care of it for me. Everyone here is courteous and goes above and beyond! Thank you G, Jaime and team! ...and to Lalo & Mikey who made a perfect dish the first time, my apologies! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by Zócalo in Folsom for lunch and had a really great experience. They had their brunch menu out, which looked very good. We decided shared the salmon bowl on the regular menu and it was so so good. I really loved the pickled cabbage and my boyfriend, who is normally a picky eater also loved the bowl. It was a great size for sharing an early lunch. Everything tasted really fresh and the flavors worked so well together. It's definitely something I would order again. The best part of the visit was our server, Luke. He was extremely kind to both of us from the beginning and gave amazing service the entire time. He checked in on us without being overbearing and made the experience feel really welcoming. At one point he even brought us a free appetizer pastry, which was such a nice surprise and it was delicious. He even offered to get us more, complementary! We unfortunately had to decline due to being so full from our delicious meal! Everyone else on the staff who helped us was also very friendly. The team there created a positive environment, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and comfortable. It felt like a great place to sit, relax, and enjoy lunch together. One thing to note is that it's a little on the pricier side. Most of the menu items were around $20-$30. That said, the quality of the food and the level of service was definitely worth it. I'd definitely recommend Zócalo if you're looking for a nice lunch or date spot in Folsom. read more

We were there for dinner on a Monday night and had reservations for 3 at 5:30. We were seated right away but upon seating, the hostess informed us that there was another party arriving to our table at 7. It did not feel great to hear that before we were even seated to start our meal. The place has warm ambiance but didn't feel as warm and welcoming as the Sacramento location (possibly due to the interaction with the hostess). The service and wait staff was prompt, warm and friendly. We received our drinks and food in a rushed manner (not great for dinner with friends). I highly recommend their Tacos de Cuzuela with sautéed chicken and chorizo, onion, mushroom, Jack cheese and chipotle salsa. Served with the house made tortillas. It is mouthwatering delicious. The fish tacos were also flavorful but the lettuce made them a little watery. I recommend either going very light or fully removing the lettuce. read more

This time we took a relative from out of town to try out one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. She loved it. The atmosphere as usual was upbeat, fun and the service always accommodating and very friendly. We never feel pushed or rushed. The wonderful chips and salsa came out right away, with the bean dip. Such a treat and delicious. We all ordered Margaritas and although each different, I had the 'Cadillac', everyone seemed very satisfied. This time I had the Taco Salad which was great. Full of freshness and ingredients that all worked so well together. The portions are always large and easy enough to bring some home depending on hungry you are at the time. So, overall, as usual a really fine meal. These folks know Mexican food (American style at least) and know how to run a restaurant. I visited the rest room and was intrigued to see the communal lavatory wash basins outside the rest rooms, yet so tastefully done too. Plus you don't need to open a door using the handle after washing your hands. Think about it. I get tired of opening the rest room door to leave after washing my hands using a paper towel, If available, and then attempting to toss it into the trash can while holding the door open with my foot, wherever that can might be! It's perfect for a YouTube video. Zocalo is fun and very enjoyable, plus the food and service can't be beat. GO! read more

Food is on the pricier end but the unlimited chips and salsa + ambiance is why it's a neighborhood favorite. I was able to ask my waiter to make the tacos crispy shelled and provide some habanero salsa on the side. I would recommend the fish taco (crispy) and burrito (massive portion). Their cocktails are also really tasty albeit their menu is on the smaller end (limited Mexican beers). read more

We had the best experience at Zocalo for a much-needed mom's night out! The drinks were amazing--we tried the blackberry margarita and the house special with upgraded tequila, and both were so good. Our server, Rachael, was incredible--so attentive and made the whole experience feel easy and fun. Tessa also stopped by and surprised us with the cutest little prickly pear shooters, which was such a fun touch and honestly made our night. We ordered the ceviche (highly recommend!), along with fresh guacamole, bean dip, and salsa--everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Between the food, drinks, and amazing service, it was exactly what we needed for a happy hour mom's night. Highly recommend! read more

Being that my wife and I just moved to Folsom, we were interested in finding some great Mexican Food in the area. In driving around last night when we were out running errands, this place stuck out and my wife suggested that we go here. As we walked in, we first could notice the decor and how beautiful the inside of the building was very well decorated. The hostess approached us and after we told her that we would like 2 for a table we were immediately sat down to a spot where we could see the whole restaurant and the rest of the beautiful decor. The first thing I noticed about the restaurant is that it was a little noisey but, it was dinner time so best to be expected. Plus the restaurant was playing music overhead to add to the ambience which was a perfect combination. When the waiter came to our table with 2 glasses of water, chips, bean dip and salsa we were asked if we knew what we wanted to eat and we explained that we just moved to the area and we were new to the restaurant so we needed time to look over the menu. Our waiter Luke came back the 2nd time to check on us and we had asked for some Esquites as an appetizer. After the appetizer came to us I ordered the Fish Tacos (3 of them), my wife ordered a Taco Salad with Beef. The bean dip for the chips & salsa was good, a little spicy, my Fish Tacos were very tasty with the cabbage slaw, and my wife really enjoyed the Taco Salad. This being the first place we visited, let me tell you.. The price was very worth it, the food was very delicious and the professionalism and the friendliness of our Waiter & Staff was incredible. Thanks Zocalo, we will be back. read more

After living in Sacramento my whole life I somehow had never tried Zocalo?? It was definitely worth the hype. Food was delicious, drinks were refreshing, the building and interior were beautiful!! Most of us got the enchiladas which have 3 sauce options and come with black beans and rice but for starters we got Aguachile and Queso fundido. We also got the blackberry & mango margaritas (mango was the best!!!). Our server was also very nice, gave recommendations, and was very patient since we were such a big group! He also spoke Spanish which was a plus for my family. Overall, amazing experience and we will definitely be back! read more

This was our third time trying a restaurant that I have loved in Roseville and Fair Oaks. The food is def better... Ceviche with fish: 9/10. Too much lime and not t enough spice. But fish with cucumber and radish (instead of onion) was delicious. Rellenos (no pork): 10/10. Perfectly cooked al dente poblano, lots of cheese and a light cornmeal crispy coating. Would order again! Steak Tacos: 7/10. Steak was well flavored but didn't expect it to be ground up and the potatoes lacked flavor. Cilantro rice with beans - delicious!! But the service is spotty: 7/10. Appetizer brought with no plates. People coming by but not always doing what they could like removing dishes or asking about to go boxes. Speaking of which...I don't know why restaurants want to dish up MY leftovers!! Please stop doing that. You don't do it the way I want it packaged and it's just weird. Plus you end up throwing away food I would have taken home and eaten. Next time I will insist on doing it myself and see what happens. If it's not allowed I will not go back. Ambiance is lovely. Clean and spacious. read more

It was a date night adventure night and for my pick I wanted to try something new. A friend had tried the downtown location and highly recommended it. We arrived and were sat rather fast, with our choice of outside; to enjoy the weather, under a covered patio opposed to inside, but let me tell you both the exterior & interior had such charming vibes! I got the three taco plate opting for the steak, shrimp and carnitas tacos with the cilantro rice and black beans. All of my tacos had so much flavor and were made using fresh ingredients. The hand made tortilla taco shells were absolutely phenomenal. We got a Paloma Clasica and Spicy Margarita, both of our drinks were tasty with plenty of alcohol. The staff were super friendly and made suggestions on appetizers & drinks that paired well with each other. The only tip I have is if guacamole is left and you want to take it home, do so as they will collect it with the salsa and cheese that they bring initially. We really enjoyed our time and will be back for sure. read more

Really good food, amazing time and Rachel, our server was so attentive! Would definitely come back again!

Delicious food, and fabulous cocktails! Excellent service by Tuyen. All around great experience, will definitely become a regular.

Zocalo is an eye appealing gorgeous interior designed restaurant giving off an upscale resort vibe serving up modern contemporary Mexican cuisine. The customer service is top notch. The food is tasty. Pricing is not outrageous. The place has loads of ambiance appropriate for a family gathering with kids in tow or intimate date night. From the subtropical landscaped plantings, to the building's architecture and interior design look of pre Columbian meets modern Iberian vibe equals absolute gorgeousness. They have a bar, interior dining room, and outdoor patio. The food's plate presentation is picture perfect. The flavors are simple, fresh, and basic. One of my faves is the ground beef tostada salad. Seasoned ground beef served on a fresh tostada shell topped with basic, clean salad fixings. $16. They also offer complimentary chips, bean dip, and salsa with your meal. And they ain't stingy with 'em, they offer to provide refills. read more

My wife and I came here for a date night, and it was a great experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a date. The complimentary chips with salsa and the specialty bean dip are a welcome start. I am not usually a fan of beans, but even I enjoy their bean dip. For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas Guanajuato (green enchiladas), which were delicious. The cilantro rice served with it paired perfectly with the sauce. For dessert, my wife and I shared the Churro and Ice Cream, a nice sweet treat to finish the meal. Service was good throughout the evening, making the experience even better. We will be back again. read more
