    We had mole enchiladas, red enchiladas, and chile rellenos for dinner. We drank red sangria. Every diner at the table was pleased with their choice. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas, was hopping with birthday and holiday energy, was loud and bustling. Our waitress and every other server was working hard. Our waitress was apologetic about the restaurant's understaffing, but we took it in stride -- she was pleasant and attentive when with us, and we didn't wait too long for anything. If we're in Sacramento again, we'll gladly return to Zocalo Midtown, without hesitation.

    The food here is so good! We stopped in before heading to see the nutcracker and they timed everything perfectly for us to get to the show on time. The food was outstanding, the drinks were also very good (they even offered to make a mock tail for a family member). We sat next to a larger party but it wasn’t loud for us. Our waiter was incredible, super attentive and answered all our questions. I know some of the reviews on here say that the service can be “questionable” but our experience with everyone working at the restaurant was great! Will definitely be back.
