As any native New Mexican one of my favorite foods is Mexican food. I absolutely love spicy foods, tacos, chips and salsa, the spicier the better. So naturally, once I became of age, tacos and tequila became my favorite combination of food. When one of my good friends introduced me to Zacatecas, I quickly began to love it and here is why you should too.
1. The Vibes

The atmosphere is absolutely great. There is open air seating, music, and the vibe is fun and welcoming. The servers are very hospitable and helpful which is a huge plus in my eyes. Who wants to go somewhere and not have great service? It quickly became my spot, whether it was a birthday dinner, date night or where me and my girls started our night out. Zacatecas fits it all.
2. The Tacos

I was initially drawn to Zacatecas because of their tacos. A lot of places only give you 2 or 3 tacos at a time, but Zacatecas gives you 4. That’s a win for me and my taco obsession. My favorite type of tacos from Zacatecas are the chicken, but they also have a variation of shrimp, carne asada, carnitas, and even vegetarian squash tacos. I like how they have a variation of different things so people aren’t restricted to just one basic type of taco.
If you’re not in the mood for tacos, they have a wide variety of other things as well. They have a small array of seafood dishes, enchiladas, and even ribs. Everything looks so amazing and delicious, you will be happy with any choice you make.
3. The Tequila

With a wide variation of tequila, you will want to bring that vertical ID along. You can get anything ranging from the house margarita to the Brisa Fresca cocktail. The Brita Fresca includes Don Julio Blanco tequila, prickly pear purée, Cointreau, agave nectar and fresh lime. Talk about refreshing. They can also get you any margarita on the rocks or frozen, you can even spice things up with a Lava Lamp, which is a Mexican draft with a splash of frozen margarita on top. And don’t forget their wide selection of beers and wine.
If you’re like me (a college student) you’ll be happy to hear that with your legal ID AND student ID you can get a discount on the house margarita. If that’s not exciting news I don’t know what is.
So for your next girl’s night out or birthday celebration give Zacatecas a try! They won’t disappoint.
