    The food was super tasty and fresh, with vegan options available. I had the vegan Dolores Green enchilada and oh my life I will have another whilst the fork festival is on. A little bit out of my price range to visit at full price and the wine was ridiculously priced at £36 a bottle. I think because the venue feels like a cafe, the prices feel even more inflated. Note - prices for drinks aren’t listed anywhere and only bottles or spirits available. Ground floor can seat maybe 20 and there is a further seating area downstairs which we didn’t visit. The toilet on the ground floor is a disabled toilet which opens up facing the kitchen which didn’t feel right. Also good luck if you are tall as the sink and mirror are really low.

    Thank you for your detailed feedback! We're so pleased you enjoyed the vegan Dolores Green Quesadilla—it's a favorite! We're also glad you appreciated the fresh and tasty food, along with our vegan options. Regarding pricing, we understand your concerns and want to clarify that our wine bottles are priced at £25. We appreciate your thoughts on the venue feel and will take your comments on drink pricing visibility into consideration. We also take note of your observations about the facilities and layout—your input helps us improve. We hope to welcome you back during the Fork Festival and beyond! 😊🌱🍷

    The restaurant was really quiet for a Saturday afternoon in Birmingham City Centre. Staff were helpful and friendly but did ask us to pay the bill before we could order dessert which was a little confusing. No second drink either. The food was excellent however. Fresh and tasty.

    Zócalo BirminghamOwner

    Thank you very much! Our Birmingham branch has only been open for a few months now, so we're still trying to work our way into the market here. Your review means a lot to us, thank you for taking the time to leave it :)
