Zocalo

Very kind workers. Everybody was welcoming and made sure you were attended to the moment you came through the doors! They have vegan options too! From what I was told, anything on the menu could be veganized (add vegan chorizo, remove creme, remove cheese, etc) with the only exception of the rice. That was made with chicken broth. They were …

WOW the food here was amazing. the tacos were so flavorful and delicious, and the rice and beans were also super good. i also got a cup of horchata which tasted so good. the only thing was that the ceviche was a bit too sour for my taste. still, this place was great. service was amazing too. definitely recommend!

Seriously their quesabirria is so amazing I can't get enough of it. Dip it in their consomé, which is other worldly btw, and you get the perfect bite. The only downside is your fingers are gonna smell like birria the rest of your day. Oh, I totally forgot about their horchata latte. I'm telling you, if you haven't made up …

I ordered the pozole and it’s by far the best I’ve ever tried And I’ve had some good pozole but this tops them all 🤩🤩💣Very flavorful and I highly recommend. I don’t ever leave reviews but it was to good to not.

I had dinner at Zocalo several times while I was staying in Isla Vista. The food is absolutely fantastic, everything I ate was amazing. Special mention to the Quesabirria, it quickly became my favorite Mexican food. I also loved their Horchata. Prices are very fair, and service is spot on. Do come here! It's worth it.

Item #1: Breakfast burrito....just the right amount of chorizo so it doesn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. Beans are mmm good. - In my opinion, if the beans aren't good neither is the rest of the food.- I had mine without sour cream just a personal preference and added avocado. It was absolutely delicious. The guacasalsa and red salsa …

Chefs kiss! The food is soo good here! My husband and I heard a lot about this place and we finally got around to visit since we live in L.A. let me tell you! We ordered 4 things off the menu and all of it was rich in flavor! We ordered aguas frescas: the Jamaica was fresh and perfect with …

Great service. Helpful staff. A bit expensive, but the food tastes great. My only negative will be that they did not have radishes, and we were sold 9.5+ PH water. I'm more negative on the product offering. Read up on PH water to make your own mind. We had lunch takeout and the food was ready on-time and still warm …

We ate lunch here yesterday, it was delicious!!! We had the quesabirria tacos and the burrito divorciado without the tortilla, good portions and very tasty. The staff is very friendly and good atmosphere, there is convenient parking across the street. Hope to come back to Santa Barbara soon to eat here again.

IF you're visiting Isla Vista and craving authentic Mexican food, Zocalo is an absolute must-try. This casual order-and-pickup spot delivers flavors that rival some of the best authentic Mexican restaurants I've visited. I ordered the Quesabirria, and it was incredibly satisfying—crispy, flavorful, cheesy, and packed with perfectly seasoned meat. Every bite was rich and delicious, and the consommé took it …
