    This is one of our favorite restaurants. As usual the service was prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable about the menu options. Food was excellent and the service was not rushed. Our server was excellent. We will keep going back.

    This was our first visit to Zocalo in University Village and it was excellent from the moment we walked in the door till the moment we left! The service was spot on and the food was great! My wife had the fish tacos and loved them! I had the enchilada's and they tasted great! Our server was excellent as well! My only other comment was the number of birthday celebrations! Just kidding!

    Even though the volume was high due to a private event, the service alone was worth the visit. Interesting craft cocktails and a well imagined and prepared meal make Ella’s a stand out @ the capital.

    I got the five course meal. It was pretty good. The portions sizes are decent sizes so I’d recommend getting the 3 or 4 course instead. I was was full by plate 3.
