Welcome
Howdy! Welcome to Zocalo!
Born in Texas, raised in Tucson, Az and having traveled throughout Europe and South America playing music with my band, I came upon the idea to combine some of my passions and experiences of food, coffee, music and art in the form of a coffeehouse/cafe here in beautiful hill country of Texas. Zocalo hopes to provide a daily changing menu using pure, wholesome ingredients and local growers when available, keeping the food fresh, interesting and as low glycemic as possible.
We also think Zocalo has the best tasting water in Blanco. Taste for yourself and take some home with you!
Bon Appetit!
