Executive Chef Estevan Garcia
and
Head Chef Jonathan Paczolt
-

Executive Chef Estevan Garcia started a career in the restaurant business at 18 years old. His first venture was the original Guadalupe Cafe on Guadalupe St. in Santa Fe, NM. His mother, Andrea Garcia, inspired his love of traditional New Mexican dishes. Garcia and his mother worked closely in the kitchen of Guadalupe Cafe creating a menu of the most beloved New Mexican dishes.

 

Garcia is a native Santa Fean and a graduate of St. Michael’s High School and The College of Santa Fe. In his early 20s he moved to Manhattan Beach, Ca. were he started the original Cafe San Estevan, hailed as a first class California restaurant. Years later he returned to his roots and reopened Cafe San Estevan in his hometown of Santa Fe. It was there that Jonathan Paczolt started working under his tutelage. Garcia and Paczolt together are the team behind Estevan Restaurante.

 

Estevan Restaurante is New Mexican fusion with a French flare. Garcia has created a menu using favorite traditional Northern New Mexico dishes including Chimayo red chile, chicos, posole, and calabacitas. All produce items are bought locally and are organic. Garcia visits the Santa Fe Farmers Market every Saturday morning to hand-pick the freshest and best ingredients. His poultry, beef and lamb are bought locally as well from Shepherd’s Lamb, in Española, NM. 

 

Garcia is a true wine connoisseur.  His wine list includes both domestic and imported red and white wines. Please ask him upon your restaurant visit for the perfect pairing with your meal. Wine is one of his specialities and he’ll be pleased to make your meal a memorable one.
