The name Zacatlan surged from the origins of chef/owner, Eduardo Rodriguez. He was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, which is defines as “the habitants of the land where grass grows”. Zacatlan is the nahuatl translation for “land with an abundance of grass”, and that is where the idea of Zacatlan Restaurant began. Zacatlan desires to continue to preserve the traditions for upcoming generations, while bringing forth new flavors. These new flavors incorporate Southwestern and Mexican influences.
