Gaucho Grill - Polanco - Miguel Hidalgo

Our family enjoyed the outdoor seating and the waiters did a great job of quickly pushing other tables in when it was raining out of the blue. We were under an umbrella and a big tree and didn't have to move and the rain stopped quickly. Our teenage kids weren't in many nice restaurants and they loved the creative starters, especially the homemade croutons on the Caesar salad, delicious! We all had very good meals and were too full for dessert, which is unfortunate because I have eaten the chocolate bread pudding with Baileys before and it is divine! There are so many tasty options and we enjoyed the scallops as well as the duck, key lime chicken and the flank. You can't go wrong!

Always good food with nice presentation. We dined outside on a comfortable early summer evening. We started with an order of mussels (not as spicy as portrayed and very good) and the spinach salad with fried oysters--all excellent. Main courses of the pork chop and duck were well prepared. The swiss chard with tiny bacon bits with the duck was a nice change. The cherry compote was a bit overwhelming. Tried the Bonarda red wine (usually aged in stainless steel so it lacked the smooth fruity taste) but reverted to a reliable Malbec. Had a server in training who did a good job; her mentor didn't smile much which was disappointing. Overall an enjoyable meal.

Zocalo was recommended to us by a family member and we were not disappointed. The food and drinks were amazing. Everything was fresh and had a wide range of visual and palate attractions. Each of us chose a different entre and we tried each other out. The WOWs went on around the table, from yellow tomato / cucumber gazpacho, meatballs, steak, softshell crab, scallops ... delicious, delicious, delicious! All dinners came with beautiful pages that were incredible. I will definitely come again.

We have eaten here many times. Salmon is always great and so is the tuna tartare. The smoky groats and the cous cous are divine! They used to have delicious rolls that they served with olive oil. I was sad to see that they no longer offered them.

Nice place, good food, friendly service. Zocalo deserves your visit.
