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.

    An amazing dining experience! The intimate and cozy ambiance of this restaurant makes it the perfect spot for a relaxed and memorable evening. The squash blossoms were an absolute standout—crispy, flavorful, full of dairy softness and a must-try. The prosciutto salad was a favorite too. We loved the canard with lavender honey glaze and the savory beef tenderloin entree. Very affordable by the bottle pricing too. Highly recommend for anyone looking for exceptional food in a warm, welcoming setting. There is heart in their dishes and service - try the newly improved Terracotta!

    Dining at Joseph’s is always a treat. Jeff, our favorite server, is the consummate professional. The dishes speak for themselves- interesting and delicious. You can choose to spend a lot, or not, depending on your selection(s). Regardless, you won’t be disappointed. The wine list is excellent, too!

    Randomly discovered Alkemē in a GF website (my partner is GF, and it was a trip for her birthday weekend). Went off the positive review and we are so glad we did. We both did the tasting menus (1 & 2), but shared. Every dish that came out had us audibly declaring how ******* good everything was. The pre-dinner cocktail was the worst thing and it was fantastic. I did the sake pairing and it was wonderful. The staff were great and the owner was really personable stopping by and chatting at various points. Overall, we both would highly recommend Alkemē to anyone looking for an amazing food experience. It’s a bit pricey but we felt totally worth it.

    We had a really good dining experience with Carmen attending to us really well, in spite of a very full dining room on a Saturday night (glad we made reservations!) - I asked for additional support on my meal, and Carmen went above and beyond to ensure we received an excellent meal that was well cooked. The crab cakes, salmon fish and chips, and salmon salad (best dish of the 3) were pretty good at happy hour, but what we remember most is how attentive our server, Carmen, was (and not overly so). The house wine was a better selection on a previous visit, and we passed on the house white (Chardonnay). There is no beer on draft offered, but the IPA was pretty good and served in a thick glass beer mug. At about 6 pm on Saturday, the dining room was full, with a very loud crowd - our humble recommendation is to sit away from the main dining room if you want to have a good conversation over dinner.

    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.
