El Zocalo Mexican Restaurant

"This is by far the best Mexican food that I have tasted in Richmond. Their food never disappoints. Everything is freshly made and seasoned perfectly. You can easily drive by it as it's right off Route 301 and Patrick Henry Hwy in what looks like a little house. But don't be fooled. You won't be disappointed!"

"One wouldn't expect to find such a wonderful Mexican restaurant in rural Hanover, but I'm here to say it's the best in RVA! When my son told me about El Zocalo, I was skeptical, due only to the location near Hanover Courthouse. I'm so glad he found this gem. We visited on a weeknight and didn't have to wait for a table. Service was prompt and professional, and the margarita was wonderful and tasted fresh. The food is beautifully prepared and so tasty. The seasoned beef and chicken is tender and authentic. I can't wait to go back!"

"AMAZING! The BEST FLAN EVER! they make their own flan fresh in house! Delicious soapapillas! Yummy burritos and more Mexican food! Clean bathrooms! Friendly staff! Dog friendly patio! Plenty of parking. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating."

"Glad we stopped at "El Zocalo Mexican Restaurant" after leaving a car show fundraiser at Meadow Event Park. We were driving on 301 discussing where we would stop for some lunch and saw El Zocalo just ahead of us. I was already thinking this looks good to me, when my old friend & coworker said "what do you think of here?" I love Mexican food was my response. So we stopped in. The smallish building is sharp looking, clean and inviting. Everyone working there was great; very friendly, helpful, fast and efficient. The food was great; presentation, taste and the amount was plenty. I had their great tasting unsweet tea and Tacos De Carnitas with their habanero sauce. G had the "Burrito Chipotle w/ chicken". We both enjoyed our visit there. The delicious & well prepared food, the atmosphere and the friendly efficient staff were great. We also were served chips & salsa while we were looking at the menu and preparing to order. Salsa & Chips were delicious also. I Recommend a visit."

"I've only been here a few times but I'll definitely keep going back if in the area! Their food is authentic, palate pleasing & eye pleasing as well! This place is definitely not your run of the mill cookie cutter Mexican restaurant thank goodness! The beans are incredible, quite possibly the best I've ever had anywhere! The staff is beyond professional and pleasant! Keep up the great work everyone and thank y'all for preparing such delicious food & cocktails!"
