   Unique, very tasty and well prepared dinner. Squash blossom appetizer was well done and uniquely included crawdads. We enjoyed short ribs (with unusual addition of rosemary and feta mashed potatoes) and cochinita pibil with the tender pork falling off the shank bone. Portions were large (will get another meal from the leftovers). Mezcal cocktails served traditionally in bowls with explanation from our friendly server was another nice touch to the meal.

   Incredibly creative and delicious food. Our meal was a wonderful blend of classic flavors mixed with new and fresh concepts. My one criticism is that it would have been nice to have more vegetarian entree options - we were a bit limited in our choices because of that.

   What an unexpected and delightful surprise! Very charming and cozy ambiance. We had the Zacatlan and Salmon entrees and both were delicious! It's been a long while since I've had real fresh eggs with that unique rich taste. The last time was almost 40 years ago in China! I thought I would never experience that same truly fresh farm egg taste again until I tasted it again at Zacatlan! Loved the Guava margarita and flan as well, Service was excellent and prices reasonable! Thought the paintings on the wall were very interesting as well. Highly recommend.

   This warm and relaxed little gem is clearly a labor of love centered around their passionate Chef and the impeccable team he has built. Genuinely welcoming and gracious, fine dining protocols without the stuffiness. This lovely team gave us a wonderful experience from start to finish and we are still talking about the food today. Our side room seating felt comfortable and festive with it's deep yellow walls, folk art chairs and thoughtful touches. The staff at Zacatlan are a lovely unified, professional and skilled team. They bring that rare cohesiveness that creates a specific atmosphere and energy that makes you want to come back. Our service was flawless and I'm always extra grateful to the people who work on holidays. Food is lovingly creative without being precious or contrived and executed with precision. We literally enjoyed every bite and are looking forward to supporting this local business treasure. As in, "Like Water for Chocolate," Chef Eduardo Rodriguez's food is the perfect example of good energy in the kitchen. Our beautiful Thanksgiving menu made every course a fabulous, torturously fun dilemma to make a choice and every choice delivered. I have no 'if onlies' to add. A completely wonderful experience. Go there soon and support our gifted Santa Fe restaurant culture.

   One of the best meals we’ve had this year. Fresh, elevated Mexican food in an unpretentious, lively atmosphere. Already looking forward to coming back.

   First time diners for dinner for two. After seating, we sat for what seemed a rather long time before a server appeared. Everything got better once he appeared. The food we had was terrific - burrata salad was fresh and huge, squash blossom special delicious, and the Caesar salad fresh and plentiful. Despite a slight mixup on the entrees the ordered meals were excellent - beef short ribs and fried whole red snapper were beautiful on the plate and quite delicious. No room for dessert! We will gladly return and the experience was only a minor distraction from exceptional food and friendly attentive service.

    Food, ambiance and service were great. The atmosphere is very intimate. We had the robin’s egg dessert which was one of the best treats I have ever eaten.
