We had lunch here for the first time. The food was terrible. The duck nachos were overpowered with cheese, the tortilla soup was too watery and sour, and the wild mushroom tamales sounded great, but really just didn't taste good. The service was great; however, the waiter forgot to substitute the bacon-beans for non-bacon-beans in the duck nachos, so not everyone at the table could try them. With so many other Mexican food options in Boulder, I would not go back.

Zolo is always hot and happening. It's a little off the beaten path - one of the better Boulder restaurants that is not within walking distance of the Pearl Street Mall. It's tucked away in a non-descript shopping center near Canyon and 28th, next to a movie theater. The bar is always a few people deep on a Friday night and the outside patio is filled with people wearing not quite enough clothing (one of the joys of the scenery of Boulder.) Start with the guacamole - it's a standard and is excellent (if you aren't a guac fan, ask for the salsa sampler - or hell - just go for it and get both.) The food is fresh and clever with a Mexican theme. I love the fish tacos and the corn chowder. Servings are large - you will walk away very full. We finished the evening with a banana cream pie with fudge sauce. I have never been disappointed after a meal at Zolo.

A funky flair of authentic mexican, southwest, and new world cuisine. The crab cakes were excellent and the caeser dressing had an amazing southwest kick. I highly recommend the Hanger steak (They only serve all natural - hormone free- meat) and the seared tuna. I don't even like encheladas and I couldn't get enough! I've been back many times to try different entrees and the salmon on cedar plank is my favorite. The Zolorita is out of this world and they have an amazing selection of premium tequilas. There tequila dinners are moderately priced for what you get and are amazing. I can't wait to go back! Pros: Food, Drinks, Ambiance Cons: Small Bar, None!

This funky southwestern-style restaurant deserves applause. All six people at my table loved the food they ordered. From the crab cakes and salsa sampler appetizers to the dreamy seared tuna and impressive salmon (served creatively on a long plank instead of a plate), we decided it was one of the best and most memorable meals we've had in Boulder. AND our waiter knew the menu upside and down. I can't wait to go back in warm weather and enjoy their patio! Pros: Creative Margaritas, Good parking, Patio Cons: Crowded little bar, Uncomfortable chairs, Not spacious
