Who we are
Welcome to Café Zocalo, where the vibrant fusion of Mexican and American culinary traditions awaits you. Located in the heart of Old Town Orange, steps away from Chapman University, our café promises an unforgettable dining experience.
Our journey begins with Mariana, a passionate Mexico City native with years of experience in the food industry. Choosing to pursue her lifelong dream of owning a restaurant after welcoming her third child, Mariana, along with her husband Juan Carlos, they have infused Café Zocalo with the authentic essence of their Mexican culture.
At Café Zocalo, we take pride in our diverse menu that caters to breakfast and lunch crowds alike. Kickstart your day with our signature chilaquiles served in various forms, from burritos to omelets. For lunch, savor our savory wet burritos, tortas, asada fries, hearty nachos, or choose from our selection of fresh sandwiches. And don't forget to pre-order our homemade cakes and pastries, including our renowned coconut pineapple cake, crafted in-house with care, and available with just a two-day notice.
