About this app

El Zoco is the free app that connects neighbors with nearby local businesses.

Looking for a product, an open store, a butcher shop, a stationery store, a copy shop, a hair salon, a hardware store, a fruit shop, a café, or any service near you?

With El Zoco, you don't have to call multiple businesses or go from store to store. Ask just once, and nearby businesses can tell you if they have what you need.

El Zoco helps you find local products, services, and businesses in your neighborhood quickly, easily, and directly.

Ask once. Businesses respond.

How does El Zoco work?

• Type what you need
• El Zoco notifies nearby businesses
• Receive real responses from local businesses
• Talk directly to the business
• Quickly decide where to go

You can ask about products, availability, prices, hours, services, promotions, or any other nearby need.

For example:

• Which bakery has gluten-free bread?

• Is there a butcher shop open nearby?

• Where can I get cheap photocopies?

• Which stationery store has these school supplies?

• Is a hair salon open this afternoon?

• Which store has this product in stock?

• Where can I find a gift near me?

• Hassle-free

Free and non-profit

El Zoco was created as a free, non-profit project to support local businesses.

The goal is to help small businesses gain more visibility and for residents to find what they need close to home.

We believe that neighborhood businesses are incredibly valuable, but they often lack the same digital tools as large online platforms.

El Zoco aims to help bridge that gap.

Your neighborhood's digital marketplace

El Zoco combines the personal touch of local businesses with the convenience of a modern app.

An easy way to ask questions, get answers, discover businesses, and support local shops.
