Zacalas in Zacatepec de Hidalgo receives mixed to negative feedback, primarily centered on poor customer service and management. Multiple reviewers express frustration with being ignored by staff and the manager, noting a lack of attentiveness even when the venue is not full. There are also reports of waiters bringing incorrect drinks and charging for them, suggesting a need for better staff training. While the food is described as basic pub fare similar to street food, the Friday night live music with an 80s vibe is a noted highlight for those seeking a lively atmosphere. However, the loud music and DJ can sometimes make conversation difficult. Overall, while it serves as a local hangout for drinks, many visitors are deterred by the service quality and the unkempt state of the facilities.
