Want REAL Latin flavors?? Come here! This is the first true Latin restaurant I've been able to find in the Denver area. The food was outstanding!! Things are hot here so keep that in mind if you're not into that. I got medium and it was "hot" to me but still had great flavor.

We had a fish dish and a beef dish. Also had potato au gratin. Also had chips and shrimp ceviche. Everything was perfect. I think the potatoes augraten might've been the best I've ever had. And the waiter was excellent also. Ian was the waiter and Mike was the chef.

Food was pretty good, albeit smaller portions... not really a big deal for me, but my big- portions-are-a-must-of-a-husband, he was a little bit disappointed in the small portions. Also, the scoop of guacamole that was probably two tablespoons was $15 with a sprinkling of 12 tortilla chips felt a little chintzy and like over-priced for what you got, as well as presentation. Drab. Prices like this, presentation goes a long way. Expectations and perception matters to a consumer. Our server was nice, but seemed a bit distracted, or maybe uninterested? Not sure we'd return.

Was on a work trip and came here with a group of colleagues. One of my colleagues had high remarks for this place so decided to come here. It was a quiet evening in the restaurant but it is centrally located in downtown Denver. We started off with complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were thin and crispy - we kept asking for additional baskets of chips because we all loved them. We also ordered two different queso dips - one had chorizo and the other had mushrooms. Both dips were delicious! I especially liked adding the queso to the warm tortillas that are served with them. We also ordered guacamole as another starter and while the guacamole was delicious, I was disappointed in the portion. We paid $15, and It came with a dollop of guacamole. The star of the evening was my plate - Skirt Steak covered in mole sauce and served with bean and cheese tacos. While the mole sauce was spicy, the whole plate was delicious. The skirt steak was tender and cooked as requested, and I liked dipping the tacos into the mole sauce. Because of the level of spicyness, I requested crema sauce on the side which balanced the mole sauce nicely. Service was also good. Our waiter was attentive and kept refilling our basket of chips.

Great ambiance with outdoor patio and music. Matt is an amazing waiter/host. He took care of the entire restaurant with flair. The food was pretty special. We liked the steam mussels appetizer, chicken peanut mole and the calamari salad.

As they almost used to say about Yogi . . . way nicer than your average bear. Most casual Mexican food spots serve pretty much the same thing: enchilada this and burrito that. But Zocalito's takes it to a higher level. Their skirt steak with Oaxacan mozzarella and their shrimp and octopus salad with avocado and cotija cheese are things you just won't find elsewhere. More like Tamayo's than Las Delicias if ya get my meaning, if ya catch my drift.Check 'em out when you want something a little different / a little better than your regular TexMex hangout. (Plus the servers are nice as can be and that's important stuff too:).Sign me.David "Con buen gusto" M

Food was astonishing! Great mix of different Latin foods either a high end touch! My Black Mole was fantastic. The dessert, a caramel banana crepe was something I will recommend anyone.Service was great, solving questions about allergens, pairing wine.I strongly recommend te place to someone who wants to try Latin food with some tweaks

Unbelievably good! I've been gone from Denver for a few years now and was back on business. Found my way here and was very impressed. Ian took good care of me at the bar and let me read a "cookbook"" written by the chef describing his travel through Oaxaca and the chilies, mezcal, and moles of the region. Had the cerviche with house made tortilla chips followed by the duck breast which came in a beautiful mole with potatoes. Bean/corns, and a little shredded herba santa leaf on top. This was perhaps some of the tastiest duck breast I've eaten. Dessert was the red fried banana and gelato - good but the lingering duck memories made me wish I'd just ordered another round of the main. Will definitely head back the next time I pass through Denver. This place is a gem!

Always beautiful artwork for the eyes and delectable flavors for the palette. The chorizo cheese dip to start and then the grilled beef tenderloin for the entree was amazing!!! Always a good time & great experience!
