Sac Foodies

A few weeks ago I heard about a deal that I simply could not pass up: right now, Zocalo, one of my favorite local Mexican restaurants, is offering a special they’re calling “2 for $20 Tuesdays.” For just $20, you and a dining companion can enjoy one appetizer, two entrees and a dessert, all off a special menu of 2 for $20 items. And, if you’re partaking in the 2 for $20 food special, you’ll also gain access to special drink prices, including $4 draft beers and $5 house margaritas.

When I visited, the two entrees we tried were the chicken tacos topped with guacamole and the mole chicken enchiladas, both of which were delicious! Unfortunately, the 2 for $20 special was so popular that night, the restaurant ran out of the churros and ice cream dessert we ordered, but they sent us home with a to-go order of the chocolate cake and mango sorbet, which more than made up for it!

Next time you’re craving mid-week Mexican,  grab a friend and head to Zocalo, where you can dine in style and save your pennies at the same time.
