“ The food and vibes here are absolutely amazing!!! Downtown Sanford has so many good options, but I really recommend stopping by and trying El Zocalo! ”
“ Lots of typical Mexican favorites here... Of all things, the skirt steak is one of the best things on the menu it’s marinated and tender and very flavorful, not what I would think about skirt steak OR ordering a steak at a Mexican restaurant lol, but my favorite bartender Tarek, recommended it once and that’s all it took! My other favorite is the Eggplant Chile Relleno... Super tasty! The grilled chicken and spinach salad is excellent as is the chicken tortilla soup and a huge portion of it. So glad to live in downtown Sanford and get to enjoy this restaurant weekly. ”
“ Tell me one other place you will fine a Mexican harpist playing Frank Sinatra's "My Way" while eating tasty Mexican fare!! The service is excellent. The salsa and chips just kept being replenished. Drinks arrived quickly for our table of five. The multi-roomed restaurant has tables for easy access for wheelchair / walking-frame customers. ”
“ El Zocalo served up the best Mexican food I've had in a while. The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. The menu has many great options, and you know it's gonna be good when the complementary chips and salsa are done up just right. ”
“ It wasn’t bad. I liked my avocado salad. For Florida Mexican food, it was good. ”
“ This place is poppin!. They have everything going for them! The food, service, and vibe. I've been here a couple of times and every --- single -- time!!!, they made sure I had an "amazing" experience. I like to sit outside, and never was I forgotten about. Every time I come here, the servers are patient with me, while I sipp my Margs and write peacefully. I've had the torta and birria tacos with rice and bean and the queso. Tbh, the queso is average and a little pricey, but the torta and tacos were bomb.com. The first time I visited, I asked for a whole jalapeno, chili relleno style, and he brought me salsa, but the second time, OMG was amazing. They made em perf with salt. They melted in my mouth, I, ofc, ate them whole!!! The margaritas hit the spot every time. (: love this place! So yummy! So juicy! So flavorful. ”

“ First time here and had an amazing experience. Great food recommendations, fast, nice people. The only bad thing we’d say is the water was undrinkable. Overall, will be returning. ”
