Hell yeah vegan New Mexican food

Vegan posole, beans and green chile!
I got the spinach enchilada Christmas style without cheese and it was great. Their red chile is HOT, though, so if you’re not keen on spice then the green chile is your best bet.
This place is super popular so you can expect to wait for a table but the waiting are is comfortable and the wait time was less than estimated.
100% will go here again next time I’m in Santa Fe!

Pros: Delicious food , Solid vegan options , Energetic atmosphere

So spicy

Okay like the previous review, I can handle spice. Like a 4 out of 5 at a Thai restaurant spice. But the red sauce was so spicy I went through 8 glasses of water and could barely finish it. That being said, there’s tons of options here and the food was really good! Also, if you’re coming here, get there right when they open. There was a line 15 groups long when we were leaving at 5:30 on a Tuesday night

Pros: Inexpensive , Lots of choices

Delicious and authentic

Great patio and attentive service.
Food was delicious and easily made vegan. Be sure to ask dairy isn't always listed. I ordered the tostados and veg posole. Delicious salsa, chilis, chips and tortillas.

Xmas Style!

If you are wanting to try out the Sante Fe Christmas Style sauce (half green, half red) this is the place. We got the veggie enchiladas without cheese to make them vegan.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Great atmosphere inside and on the beautiful patio. Unlike others, we had a short wait and fast service for a Saturday lunch. Veggie tamales Xmas style with beans and veggie posole were delicious. The red chile is less spicy than the green but the food overall has a kick. Was so good I ordered another plate to bring home with me!

Delicious but spicy

I like heat so it really was no problem but I kept thinking that this would have been inedible to my girlfriend who can handle some heat but not this.

I followed the recommendations here and had the combo plate with the veg tamale and blue corn burrito and pozole. Delicious, but, yeah, spicy.

Delicious New Mexican Cuisine!

Had a great meal here while visiting Santa Fe! Many items on the menu can be made vegan and our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. I got the combo platter with a veggie tamale and blue corn burrito, it also comes with pinto beans which are vegan and pozole which you can request vegan. We did have a very long wait so plan ahead. Highly recommend!!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Spicy salsa, Nice atmosphere

Cons: Long wait times

Traditional NM cuisine great for vegetarians

Family restaurant filled with locals who are regular patrons. Delicious, fresh, traditional food AND lots of vegetarian/vegan items on the menu ( 50% of the menu). They are very educated about vegetarian and vegan diets. Their Pinto beans and rice are vegetarian. 2 types of Pasole soup also vegetarian. Even vegetable Tamales are on the menu. No missing out here for vegetarians because they have everything for us!
