High ceilings, a tile-roofed kitchen facade, and a lovely, lush back patio make El Zocalo one of the best-looking neighborhood Mexican restaurants in the Valley. The location’s charming, too, right in the middle of downtown Chandler’s San Marcos Plaza. And the menu? It’s all good – homemade tortillas, thirst-quenching margaritas, and rich, savory mole are just a few of El Zocalo’s strong points.

2009 | Best Neighborhood Mexican, Southeast Valley

What a classy little spot this is, located right along downtown Chandler's bustling restaurant row (fitting, since el zócalo refers to a quintessential Mexican town square). Given the airy high ceilings, the crisp white tablecloths, and the... More >

What a charmer. We already thought El Zocalo was a neat restaurant with the perfect name (a Mexican zócalo is the town square, and this eatery is situated right on Chandler's own town square, San Marcos Place). But once we discovered the lush... More >

Go for pre or post-dinner drinks on the patio.

Great Service, excellent food, awesome ambiance, tasty Sangrias, and the live music on Saturday night made this a great choice when looking for an adults night out! The patio is awesome (in the Fall and Spring of course) and the bar area had some flat screens for those that want to stay up todate with their sports!!!! I'm a fan!

What a charmer. We already thought El Zocalo was a neat restaurant with the perfect name (a Mexican z�calo is the town square, and this eatery is situated right on Chandler's own town square, San Marcos Place). But once we discovered the lush outdoor patio tucked out back � something we'd missed when we ate there during the hottest time of year � we were totally enamored. With tables decked out in white linens, red brick pavers, flowering shrubs, and leafy potted plants all around, it's romantic and relaxing, the kind of place that makes us glad to live where the season for patio dining is almost the entire year. And at night, it's lit up with tiny white lights that cast a flattering glow on anybody who's dining out there. If there's any way to look good while greedily snarfing down El Zocalo's insanely tasty mole de pollo, it's in a setting as pretty as this.
