Zocalito Latin Bistro

My mom was intrigued by the menu so we had dinner here tonight.

I'd eaten at their no longer extant location in Carbondale years ago and had enjoyed it but had yet to eat at their Aspen location.

Latin cuisine? Not sure how to characterize it.

Think upscale Mexican or Mexican crossed with Spanish with maybe some other South American influences . . .

We had a cheese and chorizo dip, Peruvian ceviche, portabello mushroom with red peppers and chorizo, scallops and chorizo, flank steak with mozzarella, rib eye steak and potatoes with shitake mushrooms and chorizo.

Wow, that list is pretty heavy on the chorizo, more due to the choices of the diners than due to any lack of selection on the menu.

All plates were cleaned and no leftovers were to be had.

I'd say that's four thumbs up.
