Zocalo
Mexican · Atlanta, GA
About
Zocalo is best suited for gay men looking for a casual Sunday afternoon spot with a lively, outdoorsy vibe. The restaurant is basically a deck with a roof, and in nice weather the plastic side panels are raised, creating an open-air experience. It's known for potent margaritas and an extensive menu of Mexican fare at moderate prices. The atmosphere is very outdoor Mexican style, and it's a popular place to see hot guys spilling over into the parking lot on Sundays.
Located in Midtown near Piedmont Park, Zocalo is close to the action when you're ready to move on to the next bar. The food gets solid reviews—try the chicken mole if it's available. Service can be a bit slow on quiet nights, but the food and vibe make up for it. Plan your visit for a Sunday afternoon if you want to soak up the scene.

“great food!”
Visited on a Tuesday night and enjoyed the food. Service was a bit slow for a calm evening, but the dishes were excellent.

“Save some money for cab fare! ;)”
Sunday afternoons are best spent at Zocalo, where the crowd is so full of attractive men that they overflow into the parking lot. Their margaritas are the strongest in town, served in an outdoor Mexican-style setting right near the other lively bars you'll want to hit next. This place is an absolute must.

“Authentic mexican. Great outdoor eating deck.”
The restaurant is essentially a covered deck. When the weather is nice, the plastic sides are lifted for a pleasant outdoor dining experience. Tasty food at fair prices. The chicken mole is fantastic.
