Zócalo Midtown

Located in the heart of Sacramento at 1801 Capitol Ave, Zócalo Midtown invites diners on a culinary journey through the vibrant flavors and rich traditions of authentic Mexican cuisine. This Mexican restaurant gracefully balances traditional recipes with a lively, contemporary atmosphere, making every visit an experience to savor.

The menu is a celebration of textures and tastes, featuring standout dishes like the Enchiladas Mole, where tender tortillas are drenched in a deeply complex, velvety mole sauce that perfectly harmonizes sweet, smoky, and spicy notes. The Bean Dip offers a creamy, flavorful start, perfect for sharing alongside freshly made chips and salsa that are constantly replenished, ensuring that each bite remains perfectly crisp and vibrant.

For taco lovers, Zócalo presents a dazzling variety: from the heat-kissed Shrimp Tacos and Baja Fish Tacos with their flaky, light fish fillings to the richly spiced Cochinita Pibil—a southern Mexican classic where achiote-glazed smoked pork shoulder melts on the tongue, accented by pickled red onions and mild habanero salsa. The unique Tacos De Cazuela bring a hearty twist with steak or chicken sautéed alongside house chorizo, onions, mushrooms, and chipotle salsa, all baked casserole-style and served with sides of rice, beans, chips, and salsa for a fulfilling meal.

Complement your meal with freshly prepared appetizers like their zesty Guacamole — bursting with avocado, jalapeño, radish, and queso cotija — or the delicately balanced Ceviche De Guaymas, showcasing fresh fish or shrimp mingled with avocado and housemade hot sauce that tingles the palate. The vibrant flavors continue with dishes like the Salmon Bowl and the richly marinated Carne Asada Tacos, each plate beautifully crafted and a feast for the eyes as much as the taste buds.

To round off your visit, indulge in sweet treats such as Churros & Ice Cream and Flan Churros, paired effortlessly with refreshing cocktails like the ever-popular Blackberry Margarita or a classic Mojito. Many guests highlight these drinks not just for their flavor, but for the convivial spirit they foster, with one delighted diner even noting the margaritas come served in pitchers, perfect for sharing.

The atmosphere at Zócalo Midtown is as enchanting as its cuisine. The thoughtfully designed interior blends ornate lanterns that hint at far-off bazaars, creating a warm, inviting ambiance that's both festive and intimate. Guests consistently praise the attentive service, with staff like Talisa going above and beyond to make special occasions unforgettable, transforming meals into heartfelt celebrations.

Families are welcome too, with a dedicated kids’ menu offering favorites like Kid’s Taco Suave & Churro, Kid’s Chicken Tenders, and Kid’s Enchilada & Churro, ensuring younger palates are equally delighted.
