In Short
In its nuevo location near the Courthouse in picturesque downtown Decatur, Zocalo is the concept of the Martinez-Obregon family of restaurateurs. Named for one of Mexico City's historic squares, this spicy south-of-the-border bistro and bar is renowned for a creative take on traditional cross-border cuisine and its grande´ selection of tequilas--more than 650--the largest in the Southeast and tops among firewater aficionados. Tacos, quesadillas, quiches and burritos get a tasteful turn with fresh ingredients and culinary creativity. The Molcajeta Carmelita, sizzling beef strips on a hot lava rock, and the lip smacking fajita options (veggie, beef, chicken, shrimp or tilapia), have guests shaking their maracas and praising this restaurante. Diners will salivate over unsurpassed entree, appetizer, quiche, lunch, brunch and kids menus. Zocalo's popularity continue to flourish as locations sprout up around the city.
