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.

    My partner, Sandra, says that the eggplant dish she ordered was ONE OF THE VERY BEST FIVE MEALS OF HER ENTIRE LIFE! She has traveled the world and appreciates fine cuisine. We have eaten at Sazon since the first week they opened. The owner-cook, Fernando, is AMAZING.

    We had an excellent time. The service was good, the atmosphere was intimate, the food was exceptional. It’s pricey but expected for the quality. They were so gracious and helped me celebrate my birthday in just the way I wanted. I would recommend this restaurant for any celebration that you would like to be special but also low key.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico. It’s relatively small and family-run. The owner-chef is from Zacatecas, Mexico, and although he gives a nod to Northern New Mexico’s cuisine, his menu is unique in this area. He is an excellent cook, and the food is fresh and innovative. By all rights, it should be very difficult to get a reservation here, though it isn’t.

    This is a great place for a date night! My husband and I were pleasantly surprised that there was live guitar music on a Sunday evening. We took the rail runner up from Albuquerque and had an awesome time! The cocktail menu was such a hit, and I really loved the creativity! We enjoyed the mussels as an appetizer, and steaks as entrees, perfectly cooked! Table-side banana foster was a delicious treat to top off an amazing meal. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
