I was unsure of whether I wanted beef or chicken and the server told me I was able to do a mix of both. That was surprising cause I've never heard of anyone doing that. Made me SO HAPPY!! For a lunch special I didn't think it would be that big but it actually was. And they stuffed that thing with meat. I usually like chicken over everything but this time I actually liked the book more. So if I'm ever in the area I'm for sure getting just a beef burrito. The food tasted so fresh and it was so good that I cleaned my plate. And I NEVER do that. Feels weird to not have leftovers but it was THAT good. Hopefully I do get to go back cause I'd love to try their other dishes!! Oh, side note, I forgot to take a picture right away so this picture is after a few bites. Oops. lol!

Highly, highly recommend ordering the Mole Negro (the only one not pictured). Our server mentioned it's not everyone's cup of tea, so she very graciously offered us a sample before ordering. It was amazing! Recommend making a reservation, especially on the weekends.

I liked the radish on top of the taco and I liked the choice of salsa. My only complaint is the lime in the green sauce and guacamole. Lime should always, always, be served on the side. It's not appropriate in the food. It's always an add on in Mexican cooking. It's much too overpowering and ruins the flavor of the food. The food should stand on its own. I highly recommend a visit to this establishment!!

They have two vegetarian tacos, and I rather liked the more "real food" sweet potato and black bean than their tofu taco, but both were delicious. Upon seeing they had a seasonal special salsa; I was glad I took the option to order it as it was delectable and I liked it enough to haul what I didn't use back with me to save for another day. Their rice and beans have a vegetarian option, and given the option for various indulgences, I went for a semisweet chocolate cake, the sprinkles on which were unnecessary but fun. The salt level in something (or everything) was excessive, which had me gulping water. And it's a shame, because they could dial it back and this would still be some quality food.

Timberwood Grill in Charlottesville is one of my favorite afternoon restaurants. I love the…read moreambiance of this place. There is plenty of room and normally on Monday through Friday there is not a large crowd during the 2-6pm Happy Hour. Table, booth, or bar they normally have room for you. On this visit during their Happy Hour I had a few of their $4 drinks to go with my meal. Their dry cider is worth a try, as is their Devils Backbone Vienna Lager. Their Philly cheesesteak sandwich is loaded with steak and cheese. Be sure to get the skin-on house fries. Their Pastrami Reuben on grilled Rye bread is an excellent choice. The thousands island dressing is homemade. There is a generous portion of Pastrami on their Reuben. Their wait staff is excellent. They are very informed and helpful with all your menu questions and will help you decide on a selection if you are having trouble deciding. Our waiter was most attentive on bring our drink refills. For me, this is easy in and out from the Seminole Highway.

Our servers were super nice, attentive, and accommodating. They really made the evening special. I had the NY Strip, which was done just right. It was between that and the scallops, which are always great. My wife had an incredible halibut special. The fish was cooked perfectly and all the other elements of our dishes were very tasty. A few in the group had the shrimp risotto which is also an excellent dish. We'll be back (many more times); not just because Zocalo holds a special place in our hearts, but also because the food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere fits us well. We're already looking forward to the next time!

We visited the restaurant from out of town on occasion of our daughter's graduation from UVA. A $90…read moreprice fixed menu with a mandatory 20% gratuity regardless of party size...that's a lot, but perhaps not excessive if the food service and ambience merits a $90 per person three course meal. In this instance, it did not. The service was remarkably slow especially for a fixed menu. The waiter repeatedly apologized for the slow service but did nothing remedy the situation. Including not refilling water glasses during the long waits. We were a party of five and only one person was happy with all three of her courses. Whether or not the customer is in alignment with the chef is often a crapshoot, that is not my principal complaint. My complaint is the ambience and the service sorely lacked from what one would it expect for $90 a plate. There were sporting events on various television screens and patrons at the bar could've been mistaken for "Larry the cable guy". Now don't get me wrong, I like Larry the cable guy as much as the next person but if I'm paying $700 for a celebratory dinner for five people I don't wanna eat next to him in a sleeveless flannel shirt and trucker hat. Couple the diminished ambience with the remarkably slow service and color me dissatisfied. Their day-to-day service may be fine but the special occasion should be avoided. We will not be going back
