HOUSE SPECIALTIES
The enchiladas are your best bet, probably because they lend them-
selves to the buffet-style dining here.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
Hit or miss: If you can catch a tray of soft tacos, burritos, or
grilled chicken fresh from the commissary, you score.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS
Three words sum up the Zocalo: Mexican, cafeteria style. On
the bright side, most of the cuisine holds up well under the heat lamps and over the steam
tables, the enchiladas and grilled chicken in particular. The rest of the menu—the typical
tacos, burritos, Mexican rice, and refried beans—is resolutely average, except at opening
or right before the dinner rush, when the food is fresh and uncorrupted. The tortillas, both
corn and flour, are consistently good. Anybody not intimately familiar with really good
Mexican cuisine may rate this place higher. Zocalo is also a great choice when you've
brought the kids along and you can't possibly choke down another hot dog, burger, or
pizza slice. And because it's off the beaten path, it tends to be quiet and restful.
