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.

    The reputation of this restaurant is well justified. The food choices are creative and well prepared. The cholula was excellent as was the sea bass with mole. However, the most notable thing about Sazon after the food is the staff. They are trained in the continental style. Totally attentive, coordinated service and very supportive of each other. Highly recommend Sazon for anyone visiting Santa Fe. I’m sure locals don’t need a review to decide to patronize this restaurant.

    We have been regular diners at Zacatlan for more than three years. Often for lunch, less often for dinner. Fresh, consistent and pleasant always describe our experience. This time we came for Valentines Dinner. The fixed menu looked lovely but we have our favorites which start with the poached pear salad which we think is the best salad in Santa Fe. That was followed by the lobster mac and cheese and the lamb shank. Both were absolute perfection served by Jose. The new "outside" dining area is very nice too. It was a busy evening but the staff did a great job of keeping things on schedule. One last thing - I know everyone in Santa Fe makes their own tortillas but Zacatlan makes VERY good tortillas and salsa!

    Our party of four had a lovely evening! The appetizers and entrees were as good delicious as they looked. The squash blossom appetizer was outstanding and the stuffed poblano had just the right amount of kick to it. The tenderloin with prosciutto was superbly prepared. Our cocktails well-prepared. We enjoyed a delicious Tempranillo with dinner. The service is attentive without being cloying. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

    I gave the noise level a Moderate rating because we were sat next to the fountain which makes a very soothing background “noise”. The food was good, the staff were excellent and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
