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.

Zacatlan’s food is exquisite. The service is good. They have the best wines by the glass list in Santa Fe. That said, I’ve had numerous issues with their business practices and it’s left me not wanting to return after many visits. Beware of hidden fees and lack of transparency. I’m a Santa Fe local and despite the great food, am unlikely to return. With so many lovely restaurants in town who will treat you right, like Santa Cafe, The Compound, Sky Fire, El Nido, Market Steer, Sazon, Tres Colores, and Palace Prime, there’s no reason to go to Zacatlán.

Fantastic food!!! Sweet little place with an attached enclosed patio. We had a family style table and from the special prawn dish; the outstanding cedar salad, lamb shank.. awesome margaritas too. The food is more elevated than the decor- which on the positive creates a charming vibe.. like you’ve stumbled upon something unique and special. Which of course you have!! Do not hesitate to book here!

We were seated in the enclosed portal space, not the dining room as we had reserved. The space was cold and uncomfortable. The food was the highlight, especially the sea bass and corn pudding desert, but the price was surprising. Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations.

We had the most lovely dinner at Zacatlan. Our server was just the most gracious and hospitable man. The food, as always, was amazing (do not miss the cochinita pibil), but the feeling of warmth and hospitality is something missing from so many restaurants now, but not at Zacatlan. Highly recommend for both food and ambience.

Although he had some difficulty stubmling my reservation for a few minutes upon my arrival, my server, Jose, was pretty attentive from the moment I sat at my table til I left. Hearing everything he had to share about their top selling apps and entrees, I decided to order their bone marrow app and red snapper meal. Their bone marrow app was on point! A rather generous portion with four marrows and I liked their flavorings. Their red snapper entree, not so much. It appears that they used a frozen snapper and as someone who buys fresh fishes to cook frequently, I could tell that the fish was frozen. Such a shame as I had higher expectations with zacatlan being a James beard semifinalist. Add to the insult, I feel that their cocktails were not given the proper love they deserve - they were diluted for the price you pay (I ordered their house margarita & red sangria). Maybe it was just a bad day that this resto had for my reservation, but I wanted to share this experience for other diners to read and digest.
