Mexican Food In Malmö
After arriving into Copenhagen, I spent a day in Malmö and, as I like to do wherever I am in the world, tried out the “local” Mexican food. Malmö has a few options, but I settled on Zócalo based upon the recommendation of a friend.
What is Zócalo?
We are a chain of high-quality Fresh Mex restaurants in Europe with 25 locations in The United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark & Iceland.
Our food is inspired by the taquerias in San Francisco’s Mission District. We call our food Fresh Happy Mex – it is our version of Mexican food made from scratch with high quality ingredients.
I had never heard of them, but it is a Stockholm-based chain. The Malmö location is directly in the city center.
After an intense workout, I was looking for some protein and a few carbs and jogged over to Zócalo, despite the heavy rain. At 6:30 pm it was empty inside…perhaps a telltale warning sign, but I proceeded to order.
Rather than order from a live-person, you order your meal via a screen…we have really seen that proliferate lately across Europe and North America.
I ordered a chicken burrito, taking a seat while I waited for it to be prepared.
It took about 10 minutes before my number was called. I picked up the burrito, which was not served with any sides like salsa, coriander, lime wedges, or onions.
The tortilla was not great…it tasted like some of those gluten free tortillas that resemble paper more than a true flour tortilla. Inside, there was more lettuce than chicken and I would have preferred a strong flavor or spicing. That said, it was not bad and was quite a nice snack (at around $13.50 it was not exactly cheap either).
Would I order it again? Doubtful. But I’m glad I tried it.
This is part of my Long Way To Germany trip report.
