• Mexican / Southwestern • Santa Fe

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.

This was a delightful experience start to finish. The prix-fixe menu had a number of excellent choices. We started with a delicious creamy lobster bisque that was not at all lacking in lobster. We had to request bread, but it was delivered promptly & warm with a delicious butter just tinged with honey & herbs. Between the four of us we tried the Chilean sea bass, the prime rib, the lamb shank & the chicken cordon Bleu. All entrees were delicious & were quite ample portions. The flan for dessert was creamy & sweet. Our waiter, Armando, was amazing! He was attentive without being overbearing, charming and accommodating. He recognized that we were attending a concert, had time constraints and smoothed the way for us. Food, service, ambience…fabulous!
