El Zocalo Tortas Y Bakery - Tacoma

Beautiful torta bakery restaurant. delicious tortas! a warm place for students close to take a drink or snack.

Absolutely massive tortas; tried the suprema as a horn skin of cut meat and other fat on a perfectly warm and fluffy bungalow

Tried this place two times for their baked goods/pastries, first time wasn't 100% fresh but edible, I didn't finish everything, the second time the small cookies from up front were good, but the larger cookie with strawberry jam was inedible, tasted like it sat too long and took on an off flavor, and the filled pastry I bought was actually rancid, I spit out the first bite immediately and was dry heaving for a bit. Not satisfied with how this business chooses to check quality.

They are permanently closed, which is very disappointing. We used to come for their delicious desserts, especially their tortas. Hopefully, they will find a new location to reopen soon.

Second, I’ve experienced consistently poor service, whether the place is busy or completely empty. When I’ve asked about menu items, the staff hasn’t been knowledgeable. Once, I waited for ten minutes with no one else in the restaurant, and when it was finally my turn to order, I then saw other customers come in and get served within just seven minutes. They nearly walked out, and I almost did too, but I wanted to support a local business. Finally, when my order arrived, it was not what I had asked for and was greasy. My companion also couldn’t eat her sandwich because it was filled with fatty chunks. I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
