While enchiladas, quesadillas and burritos have a place on the menu, it's Zocalo's authentic offerings (chiles rellenos, queso fundido, pollo con mole) that help separate this restaurant from the pack. Upbeat patrons down glasses of white sangria while watching guacamole being made table-side. Colorful Mexican glassware and masks lend a festive vibe to the proceedings.

Blandest "Mexican" in Boston
by Kt Em
I've been wanting to try this place for awhile, but I have to say I was extremely disappointed after having dinner there. While the service was good, the food was terrible. To start with, the chips were stale and the salsa had no kick to it at all. We ordered the tableside-made guacamole and requested that it be made "medium" spicy. I thought that meant there would be some spice to it, but I am now confused what would have happened if we had requested mild because once again, there was no heat. We also tried the enchiladas and those were the worst of all the food. They were completely bland and, it probably goes without saying at this point, lacked the spiciness of real Mexican cuisine. At that point in the meal, my sister and I began to joke that maybe we should warn the chef that he was accidentally using sugar instead of salt in the food because, aside from be near tastelessness, everything had a sweet undercurrent to it. Even though this place is pretty close to where I live, if I go back it will only be to see if the sangria is as good as I've heard it is.
- Pros: Hear the sangria is good
- Cons: No spice and no flavor
