The 23 Essential Restaurants in Santa Fe
"Chef Eduardo Rodriguez, born and raised in Zacatecas, Mexico, has been making waves in Santa Fe since the opening of Zacatlán in 2020, especially after the restaurant became a James Beard Award semifinalist for best new restaurant in 2022. After working his way up the ranks at Geronimo (also on this list), Rodriguez sought to transport native Mexican flavors across the border. The menu spans various regions of Mexico, from Oaxacan-inspired moles to Yucatecan cochinita pibil. Check out the pork belly carnitas with date mole." - Willy Carleton, Justin De La Rosa, Karen Fischer
