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.

    The service was fantastic, and very friendly. So was the food. Prices are high but they let us split the filet mignon, which was all we needed. It was perfectly cooked. Because they were busy (holiday season), the place was noisy but it really didn’t matter to us.

    The service is very good from the moment we arrived. Seating in the lounge was comfortable. Our waiter named Dan introduced himself and was pleasant and upbeat. The menu is very interesting and that gave each of us excitement about what to select. We had oysters, polenta, sweet beet salad, steak, scallops, sweet squash, seafood variety on rice, and flan with rum-flavored cream and chocolate mousse favored cake with salt favored caramel ice cream. All of the food was creatively prepared and presented. We were greeted cheerfully by the hostess and thanked by everyone for having dinner there. We expected excellent food, drinks and service, and that’s what the Palace Prime experience was for us tonight. We look forward to another wonderful dinning experience there! Clayton Tanga, Santa Fe

    This is one of the best meals I've had in a few years. I'd call this approachable gastronomy. The dishes are inventive and refined, but delicious and relatable. The Sopa de Amor is probably what surprised me the most. An unexpectedly perfect combination of flavors and textures. Special mentions also for Chef Olea's original mole and the great selection of Mexican wines. With staff who deliver world-class service while remaining down to earth and honoring any special request and art-filled spaces that are cozy and engaging, Sazon gave us an experience we won't soon forget!
