Zocalo Mexican Grill - Ithaca

Fantastic Mexican restaurant. We went in and we sat right away, waitress immediately greeted us and helped us find out what was on the menu as it was our first time. Chips and salsa were really good, and we couldn't finish our first basket before our food was released, it was very fast. I had the Burrito Santa Fe and my wife had the street tacos. Both have far exceeded our expectations. The waitress was very attentive and asked how we often did it and our drinks were never empty for more than 15 seconds. By far the most positive experience I had in a restaurant in a long time. I definitely come back.

If you live Mexican food you 100% need to eat here. Stumbled upon this place while randomly walking the mall and its some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. Everything was excellent. No complaints here!

Great staff, food and my husband and I absolutely love the nachos and salsa.

Keep in mind I'm a tough grader. This is a very good Mexican restaurant. We had a party of four all of us enjoyed our meals. I had an enchilada burrito that was very tasty! We also enjoyed our drinks, margaritas, cosmos, bourbon. Our server (I think her name is Kayla) was wonderful, friendly, and helpful.

We did encounter a minor issue finding the restaurant since it’s located in Ithaca Commons. I suggest using the mall entrance next to Michaels (the vehicle shop). The restroom appeared clean, but there was an unpleasant odor. I also couldn't help but notice the intriguing artwork above the bathroom sink in the women's restroom.
