Best Southwest American Restaurants in New Mexico

The Pink Adobe is FANTASTIC! I got the duck, I’ve never tried duck before but it was possibly the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Our waiter, Fernando, had amazing recommendations and really made the whole experience. Make sure to make a reservation, they will book up. I couldn’t recommend this place more!!!

The food was amazing! The table side guac was to die for!!! It was great to see so many vegetarian options! I had the veggie taco salad and every bite was wonderful! My husband had the beef fajitas and he said they were awesome! The portions are HUGE! Neither one of us came close to eating everything!! Our server was so sweet and kind! I can’t wait to go back and try something else!!!

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!

We had dinner for valentine's day and made an early reservation. We had a nice relaxing meal that was delicious. I had the enchiladas and the red Chile was nice with some spice. My husband had the chicken Florentine off the special valentine menu and he really enjoyed it. Overall We loved the food. Our server was Nobe...he was funny and did a great job. He even gave us some extra sopapillas to take home! I'm looking forward to going back and would like to sit in their outdoor area.

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.
