According to multiple sources, Zocalo Cocina Mexicana in Arlington is now shuttered, with one business owner nearby saying that this is a permanent closure. At this point in time, we are waiting on new information on what the exact status of the restaurant is and why it may have shut down; as soon as we find out more, we will update this article.
[March 9 update: According to the owner of Zocalo, the restaurant is indeed closed and a decision on the space will be coming soon (possibly later this week). The owner does tell us that the catering business of the Arlington eatery remains in operation.]
Zocalo has been in business under its present name for approximately 10 years, though it had an ownership change a couple of years ago. Before that, the dining spot had been called Ole Mexican Grill.
A location of Zocalo can also be found on Stanhope Street in the Back Bay of Boston while a location of Ole (and Olecito, which is a takeout spot) can be found on Springfield Street in Cambridge's Inman Square.
The address for this now-closed Mexican restaurant in Arlington was: Zocalo Cocina Mexicana, 203 Broadway, Arlington, MA, 02474.
