Some of our popular dishes include chile relenos de pollo mole, cochinita pibil and camarones al mojo de ajo. To compliment our food, we have different kinds of sangria, mexican beers and latin american wines. Recently, we opened a bigger location in Brighton, MA on 1414 Commonwealth Avenue.

The Guacamole is made fresh from avocados shipped directly from Mexico. Also, the authentic mask from Guadalajara which decorates around the restaurant makes the extra ambiance!!!

Authentic Mexican in Boston is hard to find, but Zocalo nails it. Huge portions for a small price. Clean atmosphere. Amazing food. Incredibly hot spicy salsa but with mild options as well. Riccardo (the owner) goes out of his way to get to know his customers and does everything he can to keep them happy.

I've been going to this restaurant from the beginning when it was called Ole. It's expanded and word has traveled -- it's always crowded, the food is always great and the sangria is wonderful. Best of all, I can walk there! It's a colorful and cheerful place to be.

They make the best and only genuine Chile Rellenos in all of Boston. To eat one is to sample a little bit of heaven. The homemade salsa is great, friendly people, easy parking. I LOVE IT

We came all the way from Norfolk, Virginia to eat at Zocalo's! The "watch us make it" guacamole bar is the best anywhere--the list of chile relenos dishes is most impressive and they are all delicious!

We've eaten at Border Cafe, Fajitas & Ritas, Boca Grande, and a few others. Zocalo (formerly Ole') has always been consistent and great tasting!
