Fair to middling

Came here for dinner and was really looking forward to it. We came a year ago as our rv travels brought us to Santa Fe to wait out the weather and fires. We dined here a few times in the same week because it was soo tasty and had many vegan friendly options (google review May 2022 https://g.co/kgs/KSw2pT).

This visit, the dishes weren't quite as tasty. The guanabana margarita was overly sweet and only hints if of tequila; I wasn't able to finish it. The are still a number of vegan options, but some of the items are no longer on the menu (e.g. Puntas De Bistec A La Mexicana). The red and green sauce vegan enchiladas were good, but not like before. The chile de arbol salsa and black bean side are what brought the flavor to the dish.

Pros: Many vegan options, Black beans, Chile de arbol salsa

Cons: Main dishes lacked flavor, Overly-sweet weak margarita

So vegan friendly!

I love that this place has sooo many vegan options! I ordered the pibil tacos (Vegan option) and they were delicious! I didn't realize they mixed tofu with mushrooms for the substitute, and for me not liking mushrooms, I thoroughly enjoyed these! I was starving after hiking so I forgot to take a photo but I did snap one of our vegan desserts! Chocolate ice cream and pumpkin cheesecake. I would definitely come back here!

Pros: Tons of vegan options, Great atmosphere and service, Delicious food

Yummy mole

It’s not often that I find a vegan friendly mole option. This restaurant has 4 different moles and all have a vegan option! I had enchiladas. The vegan filling was mushroom and tofu. Lots of other items are clearly marked on the menu as having vegan options.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Easy to order

My new favorite!

So many vegan options! They'll make practically anything vegan (even one dessert, even though they were sold out when I was there)! The food was so wonderful, seemed incredibly authentic, was super filling, and was absolutely delicious. The staff was wonderful and kind - they even assured me that the dish I ordered wouldn't be too spicy for my wimpy taste buds. They have some staples and some more interesting fares if you want to try something new - I got the Ensalada dy nopalitos y jicama to share with my husband and their special Mole Rosado de Piñon. The portions looked small when they arrived but I couldn't even finish my food. So good - please go! The food also came out SO FAST!

Pros: Almost anything can be made vegan, Authentic and delicious, Filling and good prices

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly and knowledgeable staff, LGBTQ friendly

Cons: Very warn inside

Yummy Mexican food

There are a lot of Mexican/ New Mexican restaurants in New Mexico but it’s hard to come by one that has a decent vegan filling option besides rice and beans. They have a nice tofu, pepper, sweet potato vegan filling and you can make many things on the menus vegan. They also have a great mole sauces, my favorite is the tamarind. I love to get the vegan empanadas.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Great dinner spot

Went there encouraged by the other reviews and it was definitely worth it. The vegan mole was delicious, guacamole and chips tasty and there was even a vegan dessert! Vegan options are plentiful and well marked and everything sounds so good that I had really hard time deciding what to order. Also, their beans are amazing.

Pros: Good cocktails , Excellent mole, Friendly staff

Cons: Small-ish portions, Expensive drinks

Loads of options

Had a lot of options, many of the chicken dishes you could order with seitan instead. Everything was very well marked on the menu. Sides are vegan as well.

Best vegan options in Santa Fe

This is our favorite restaurant in Santa Fe. You won’t be disappointed. The mole is delicious and it’s very easy to order the vegan options. Everything was delicious and plates were cleaned. Charged for extra sides or rice.

Pros: Most flavorful food and sauces , Easy to order

Cons: Portions are not huge

Impressive

I was really impressed by their vegan options. Many ae just twists on each other. But- to find multiple vegan enchilada options, staples (like chips and fresh guacamole), vegan empanaditas and taquitos, and some nice cocktails- I’m in!

Pros: Vegan food , Mole is BOMB, Ambience!

Cons: They make one soy based vegan filling , Could use more veggies

Delicious vegan Mexican, huge menu

This place really does deserve 5 stars, because they have an entire vegan menu, and it's delicious. I got takeout from here 3 nights in a row (something I never do) and enjoyed every item - my non-veg parents also loved their vegan dishes. The mole burrito and sopecitos were our favorites. It's not the cheapest in the area, but you won't regret it.

Pros: Huge vegan menu, Fast service, Delicious food!

Cons: Guac was a little weird

This is a five star restaurant except Happy Cow won’t allow it.

We had the best vegan Mexican we have had, including Jajaja in NYC and Gracias Madres in LA. So good! Super inventive menu.

Pros: Nearly all items can be made vegan with housemade, vegan cheese and meat. Inventive, delicious vegan, Mexican. Absolutely amazing food!

Cons: Happy Cow needs to update it’s app. , Longer entries should be allowed. , Any restaurant should be allowed five stars.
