Zócalo

Food is good, but don’t come here of you’re in a rush. It took about 30 min to get one burrito one quesadilla. Maybe one more chef in the kitchen would be good.

I was highly anticipating a new Mexican option in Malmö. The other Mexican fast food options in town are disappointing so I had moderate expectations but high hopes.
I can’t say that I was disappointed, but I wasn’t impressed either. With the exception of including coleslaw in too many menu items, and having «cajun» vegetables, they have the right things on the menu.
I got a barbacoa burrito, my standard item for judging new ‘Mexican’ restaurants. Mostly my impression was it had no flavor; the meat lacked seasoning, the rice lacked seasoning, and I doubt that the pico consisted of more than tomatoes and onions (cilantro, lime and chilis seemed to be missing).
My friend ordered the vegetarian spicy cajun quesadilla. He was also ‘meh’ about his selection, but did like that it was spicier than his expectations. My qualm was that it was ‘cajun’…cajun is Louisiana French, not Mexico. It seemed to be good food, just not ‘authentic’.
I think the menu may be too tailored to the Swedish palate for my American palate to appreciate it very far. But, it’s not bad, just not great either.
