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.

    Such an abundance of food in Santa Fe, we should try more new places. Well, we did try something new and we should have come to Zacatlan before. My only complaint is that it is a small place, not very intimate. But that’s a small issue since the food was wonderful. We went carnivore and shared two different steaks (one was the special of the day). Both were wonderful and compared favorably to the steaks we had the day before at a high end steak house. To complete the carnivore experience we also had bone marrow. We were going to have two orders until our server told us each order had three bones. It was a generous portion and very delicious. Indeed, everything we ordered was fantastic. There were so many more things we could have ordered and fortunately the table next to us had a variety of the menu items. We compared notes and they were also very happy with their food. So overall I would say you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and we will be back.

    Food: outstanding. My wife had the vegetariano salad and I had the yellowtail ceviche. The pepita dressing on the salad was excellent as were the presentation and flavour. The ceviche was freshly marinated with lime and was excellent. For mains my wife had the chili relleno and I had the short ribs. Both were excellent. Service: there when you needed it, not there when you didn't. I ordered a glass of Malbec to go with my ribs - mind you, I asked about this when placing our dinner order, and my wine appeared at the same time as the ribs were served. I didn't need to remind anyone or chase anyone. Over the past 20 years we've eaten at a large number of the Michelin starred restaurants in Europe, and frankly our meal at Zacatlan was comparable to most of them and better than some. I would unequivocally recommend Zacatlan. Side note: I've written 3 restaurant recommendations in my life, with this being the third. There is so much chatter about restaurants that additional comments seem superfluous - this restaurant warranted some additional comments.

    It was our first time at Zacatlán last evening. The overall experience was exceptional. The food was superb and quite interesting. We had a special appetizer of squash, possums with crawfish and stuffed with cheese, which was excellent. The filet mignon was also very good. Service was adequate.

    This restaurant is a Santa Fe gem! My tastebuds were treated with the wonderfully prepared fresh corn topped bone marrow. The stuffed squash blossoms were delishious. We were seated at a small two top, but on reflection, I would sit on the curb to dine here! Gracia was a perfect waitress, pleasant and prompt. We were well attended. This will be our first pick for dining in Santa Fe.

    Menu does not state that fish tacos have mahi mahi fried in batter, not grilled mahi mahi. Service was ok but not great. I would have liked more iced tea, but server did not return to our table so I could ask. She checked with us once following delivery of food, otherwise we had to call her over and ask for what we needed.

The service was over-the-top and Chef Edwardo came to our table to see if we needed anything. Our dinner and the whole evening was WONDERFUL…WE WILL BE BACK…5 stars

    This is the 2nd time we've had dinner there. Absolutely delicious both times. We love the complimentary Prosecco upon arrival, feels special. The food presentation was all gorgeous. We enjoy "old world" wines and although their wine selection is not extensive the options are all very good. Zacatlan is a Santa Fe restaurant gem!

    Excellent pear salad, brazed pork belly and chili relleno. Very good flavors and the mole was very good. The desserts we chose were the flan which was so very rich and creamy. The bread polishing was unique and very tasty especially with the sorbet. Presentation of all was splendid. Oh and the server was attentive. Recommend this scrumptious restaurant.

    What a great new find for us! Zacatlán is off the beaten path, quite small, and VERY difficult to park nearby - but it’s worth the effort. Big time. The food is incredible - we had the cochinita pibil and the short rib. Both were perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and they were both delicious. We ate way more than we planned to! We will definitely be back.

    One of the finest meals of my lifetime. Each part of the meal was exquisite. No doubt the finest cochinita pibil I have ever had. The salads were beyond superb and dessert stunning. I’m salivating as I write this. Top it off with friendly, helpful and competent service? What an extraordinary experience.

    We found all the food to be incredibly underseasoned, and had to ask for salt for the table (which we used liberally) -- the pork carnitas appetizer, moles, and green rice all tasted like no salt had been added. We eat out frequently at establishments at all price points, so I don't think it was just us. Most of their clientele for dinner seems to be an older demographic, so perhaps they are salting to their general taste preferences. Unfortunately, it sells the food far short of its potential and as locals who love food, we won't be back. We mentioned that the appetizer was very underseasoned when we asked for salt, and our server just sort of laughed it off. The cheese and vegetable chile relleno disappointingly had no cheese inside, just a little bit under the chile. Some tables received complimentary bubbly upon seating, while some didn't (we noticed and asked our server if it was customary, and she said yes; she provided it for us after bringing our glasses of red wine we had ordered). On the positive side, the wines by the glass (garnacha and malbec for us) were delicious and well-priced. But overall, it was a very disappointing meal.

    We had such a wonderful evening here! From the complimentary glass of Prosecco (so good! We ordered more!) to our amazing meal we were well cared for. The burrata salad was the best we’ve ever had. The short ribs were perfect and the rosemary mashed potatoes were a treat. Flourless chocolate cake with ice cream was the perfect end to our meal.

    Overall, the food was good. We ordered chips and guacamole to start. It took forever to get them, so the waitress told us they were on the house. I had the sopecitos that were very good and my husband had the southwestern omelette. He enjoyed it as well. Overall I had to say that the service was very slow. If it weren’t for that, our experience would have been fantastic.
