This was our 5th visit and the meal and entire experience was excellent as I have come to expect. The El Dorado specialty drink was yummy and refreshing. The home made pasta tortellini in roasted red pepper sauce was delicious. We split a plum tart dessert special with an accent of browned butter ice cream - So Good! The service was impeccable as always. Servers are knowledgeable, personable and attentive. We are so fortunate to have this lovely resource in our community! We will be back!

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.

Zacatlan

Mexican / Southwestern

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.

Great food and creative. The red snapper could use more spice or pizazz but the portion was enough for two diners or one very hungry guy. The prawn special was VERY good. Maybe should be added to the permanent menu? Service was not rushed maybe on the slow side but still I’d go back. Wait staff VERY nice.
