Zocalo Mexican Restaurant is the most exciting and colourful area of any Mexican city would be without doubt, the Zócalo. This ‘central open-air plaza’ comes alive with the wandering Mariachi & Marimba bands, poets selling their verse, peddles offering all manner of wares, children selling ‘Chiclets’ (mini pellets of chewing gum) cheekily extending hands with a wink and a grin.
