Apparently there is some debate as to what the name of the hood between the Dundas West and Lansdowne subway stations should be (read about it here).  The only name that is of any importance to us, however, is Zocalo.  Zocalo is a small, inconspicuous restaurant that serves absolutely delicious food.  The ingredients are fresh, the meals are hardy, the service is always friendly, and, well, it is just fantastic. And as an added bonus, it is extremely reasonably priced for the quality and flavour of the food.  Because of that, Zocalo is one of our favorites.  It is a gem.
