Profile Mexican Restaurant Zocalo Midtown's sexiest cantina spices things up with sizzling chiles, top-shelf tequilas. Somewhere vaguely tropical, an open-air market, say, in some faraway, dusty pueblo, where no one's ever heard of Atlanta. Meals arrive on thick wooden boards, or in the pocked volcanic rock of a molcajete.
Drinks come in thick, irregular blue-rimmed glasses.
Weathered photographs of cantinas hang about like storied relations. In spite of some concessions to modern tastes, the style of cooking, the use of chiles and most of the ingredients here are authentic. Citysearch reviews are based on anonymous multiple visits, and all expenses are paid for by Citysearch. That's not the wine list. Some nights Zocalo can be quite busy.
