Zocalo

The boyfriend and I filled our Memorial Day weekend with plenty of lounging, movie watching, a picnic, bike rides and mexican food at Zocalo. The warm weather couldn't have been more perfect for dining outside on the patio. One glass of sangria quickly turned into two and as our vanilla cream filled churros arrived for desert I was surprised to discover 3 hours had passed by. Leisurely dinners are my favorite way to spend a night (it's the Italian in me); yet it's always a rare occasion when my boyfriend can last more than an hour lingering over a meal.

Is this in San Francisco? Looks so good I wanna go there!

Alicia said...

@Miss Nicole & @Style Funkshion, unfortunately this was in Sacramento... it may be a chain but I don't think there's a San Francisco location.
