Milk Grill Bar

Milk Grill Bar has earned a place among Zacatecas' must-try restaurants for its vanguard approach to grilled meats, set inside a modern, design-forward dining room on Avenida Francisco Garcia Salinas, away from the colonial architecture of the centro histórico. The kitchen focuses on steak platters, burgers and other grilled mains, paired with a craft cocktail list that positions the restaurant closer to a contemporary lounge than a traditional Mexican grill house. The atmosphere is younger and louder than the city's historic restaurants, drawing a crowd more interested in a stylish night out than a regional-heritage meal. It is closed Mondays, and weekend evenings bring the busiest crowd, when the bar area fills alongside the dining room. Reservations help for larger groups on Friday and Saturday nights, though smaller parties can generally find a spot at the bar without booking ahead.
