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.
Authentic Mexican food from Oaxaca.

I've traveled and eaten a fair amount in Mexico and I have to say that this little restaurant in the center of Arlington MA is totally authentic and that's a refreshing change in the world of Taco Bell, On the Border and all the other pseudo Mexican places I've eaten in. The food is well prepared, the flavors of the food are detectable because they're not masked by fiery chilli, it's not pretentious and above all the waiters leave you alone to enjoy your meal and don't suddenly pop up to ask you, "Is the food alright?" just when you've taken a mouthful, or push you to drink the latest flavor of Pucker Margarita!
The only bad experience I've had there was when boorish over-loud people demanded what I suppose they're used to - the Taco Bell EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!! Woof, Woof - or does the Chihuahua yip.......
Hey, the beers are good too!

delicious food, casual but attentive service, yummy sangria--not sure why other reviewer dissed chips and salsa. i thought both were excellent. red and green salsas were both great. i lived in central texas for 10 years so i've had my share of chips and salsa.
- Pros: food, value
- Cons: noisy
Chips and salsa?

I would suggest ordering the chiles rellenos, although the chips and salsa were very disappointing. I could get better chips and salsa at a grocery store. I also know of a certain taqueria that fries their own chips. For a nice Mexican restaraunt, I expected the same from Zocalo.
