When friends and family are visiting San Diego and you just don't feel like dragging them to the same old restaurant for the same old combination plates, consider stopping by the Zocalo Grill in Old Town for an out-of-the-ordinary South of the Border experience.
Appetizers include Latin Lobster Bisque, Jamaican Jerk Chicken Skewers, and Crispy Harina Masa Fried Shrimp and Calamari. For something more traditional, try Zocalo's Famous Nachos with black beans, guacamole, Latin cheeses, salsa picante, and spicy cream sauce. Enjoying stellar views of Old Town San Diego while you dine is a cinch on the heated, outdoor patio, and appetizers are discounted during happy hour.
Entrees, which range in price from $11-32, are a mixture of Mexican tastes and local accents, and the overall style has been dubbed "Pacific Coastal Cuisine." Seafood selections include the Churrasco Seafood Platter with jumbo Mexican shrimp as well as Lobster and Crab Enchiladas and Mambo Mahi Mahi with pine-apple coconut risotto. Salad stand-outs include a Caribbean fiesta Caesar and a Masa-crusted soft shell crab and shrimp salad. Meat-eaters will enjoy the Grilled Skirt Steak with Cuban sweet potato fritas and the Honey-Porter Braised Carnitas with Mayan black beans, picante salsa, and tortilla chicas.
Zocalo is proud to be a central Old Town restaurant that serves as a meeting place for both the community and out-of-towners. So, when those special people show up at your door for a summer vacation in San Diego, check out this Zocalo Grill at 2444 San Diego Avenue.
