We are fans of Fable - great service and fresh, delicious food. Hoping to see more innovative vegetable forward entrees (and more vegetarian options) as time goes on. And espresso :-)

About the restaurant

Chef Joseph Wrede is a Food & Wine Best New Chef, the winner of several AAA Four Diamond Awards, several DiRoNA Awards and has received both Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast distinctions. Joseph’s Culinary Pub is a creation of Chef Wrede and his creative and business partners. This is the third incarnation of Wrede’s original Joseph’s Table, conceived in Taos, New Mexico, not quite 20 years ago, for which he is well known and loved within the region and beyond. Joseph’s Culinary Pub is designed to be a platform for Chef Wrede’s unique and uncompromising vision on traditional and contemporary cuisine, both regional and international. Regarding the restaurant as a process much like theater, Wrede envisions the experience of dining in his restaurant as an interactive play between the pub and the public, with his sights aimed at rivaling high art.

My husband had the steak with pepper sauce and loved it! I had the beet, arugula salad with burrata and it, too, was outstanding. Our waitress was very nice. Overall a great experience. We always try to eat at zJoseph’s when we visit Santa Fe.

About the restaurant

The name Zacatlán surged from the origins of our chef, Eduardo Rodriguez. He was born in Zacatecas, Mexico (north-central Mexico), which is defined as "the habitants of the land where grass grows". Zacatlán is the nahuatl translation for "land with an abundance of grass", and that is where our idea of Zacatlán Restaurant began.

Zacatlán Restaurant desires to continue to preserve the traditions for our upcoming generations, while bringing forth new flavors. These new flavors incorporate Southwestern and Mexican influences. We are established near the Santa fe Plaza, right off of Guadalupe Street. We want to unveil a new fusion of food for everyone in Santa Fe and those who visit.

What a hidden jewel! Zacatlan does not disappoint. We are repeat customers, first eating there soon after the restaurant opened. All of the out-of-town guests who have joined us at various visits loved their meals. We recommend Zacatlan without reservation!

Our anniversary was made even more special by the excellent service we received from Rob and the delectable food prepared by the restaurant. The yellow tomato gazpacho was spicy but delicious. The main courses of sea bass and scallops were skillfully prepared. Rob's attentive and friendly service made the whole occasion perfect. We were extremely happy and satisfied when we left the Coyote Cafe.

About the restaurant

Originally from Mexico City, Chef Fernando Olea, formerly Chef of Epazote, has been enthralling diners in Santa Fe since 1991. Chef Olea creates sophisticated flavors using Old Mexico’s indigenous and culinary traditions alongside ingredients from around the world. His menu is deliberately small, featuring fresh and locally sourced produce and meats when possible.

Nothing evokes the mystery of Mexican cuisine more than mole, a sauce of complex flavors that usually includes toasted and ground spices, seeds, nuts, chocolate and chile. Many mole recipes contain more than thirty ingredients and some recipes have five varieties of chile alone. Chef Olea is delighted to share his moles that include his "New Mexican Mole" that he created to commemorate Santa Fe’s 400 year anniversary in 2009.

Awarded the prestigious AAA 4 Diamond Award and ranked fourth in the country for fine dining by Trip Advisor, Chef Olea is honored to have won the 2022 james Beard Award, Best Chef: Southwest.
