A contemporary Mexican kitchen a short drive from the historic center, working with seasonal ingredients in a more design-conscious, workshop-style dining room.
Cosecha Taller de Cocina sits a short drive from the historic center and represents one of the more contemporary dining concepts in a city where most menus lean traditional. The name, which translates to Harvest Kitchen Workshop, reflects a seasonal, ingredient-driven approach, with the kitchen building tasting plates and mains around what is available rather than a fixed regional repertoire. The dining room favors a workshop aesthetic - exposed materials, an open view toward the kitchen, and a more design-conscious feel than the colonial dining rooms of the centro histórico. It draws a crowd specifically looking for something outside the asado de boda and enchiladas circuit, including younger locals and visitors seeking a change of pace after several traditional meals. It is closed Tuesdays, and reservations are worth making for the tasting-format dinners, which move at a slower, multi-course pace than a typical Zacatecas meal.
