50 Best Salad Restaurants in Albuquerque

“This is my absolute FAVORITE place. Their California Harvest Market salad is my favorite salad in the entire city. I’m vegetarian so I eat a lot of salads and this one is my go-to every single time. All the ingredients are fresh and the dressing is light enough that it doesn’t over power the salad but heavy enough that you don’t feel it’s missing. I also love the Penne Pasta. It’s again very fresh and has amazing flavor. The service is amazing every time I go (which has been pretty much weekly) and the food comes out quick. Highly, highly recommend this place!“

“I go to Roma Bakery about once a week. Most of their clients are reoccurring customers from the nearby residential community, downtown workers, and law enforcement officials. The food and sweets are amazing with a decent variety. Whether it’s for takeout or dine in, it’s always a great experience. Oscar is very friendly and makes you feel welcomed. I’m particular when it comes to coffee and theirs is one of the best. You gotta try this place at least once. There is free street parking a couple of blocks away and paid street parking along Roma (not an issue for me as I walk there).“

“Frustrated with the Masthead location. I work in the building and hours say open 7am to 3pm, but they don't open until between 10:30 and 11:00--would love to be able to get breakfast. Also, full menu is never available, just a handful of lunch items. Been told numerous times "full menu is coming", but it's been months. C'mon guys...“

“Nice people running this joint! Give your money to good people! 😇“

“Stopped for breakfast on the 4th; it was PACKED. That place was purring though. We got seated fast, had our order taken fast, and got our meal fast. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“Come in - look at menu on wall - order & sit down with your #. I really dig the diner atmosphere of this location. Tunes were good, walls had art for sale (which I thought was kinda random).
Food: Really good variety of sandwiches to choose from.
Very tasteful sammich, meal included a side & “Gourmet” is in the name so you’ll pay a bit more. I got the LOBO BEEF & pasta salad. Beef on an Alpinette bun was good quality & plentifully delicious but the sandwich was only 8” cut in half (see pic). Pasta salad was creamy and legit, imo. Decent portion unless you rolled in with serious hunger…. Wife n I got sandwich meals (w/side), no drinks •• $32.“

“Honestly? It's breakfast food and it's good. The service makes it great. We go to see our waiter. We were die-hard Weck's people, but Edward won us over and we cannot wait to see him! If he sees us, he'll have our drinks at the table before we can sit down. He is a rare find. If you go to this Village Inn, make sure to ask for Edward.“

“I love no-frills, hole-in-the-wall joints that dish out great food with yummy flavors. Metro hits the mark. They took the concept of a traditional sandwich shop and infused it with a Persian and New Mexican twist. It’s a family-owned business worth supporting. Don’t forget to stop by!“

“Good fun and really wonderful food“

“Best New York pizza in ABQ“

“Great pizza and vibes. Flavor had my tastebuds doing a little happy dance in my mouth. Slices are big, even if you aren’t ordering the monster slice. Service was prompt and friendly. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Good pizza & friendly atmosphere“

“Sushi Gen was an absolutely wonderful experience. The ambiance was nice and calm, service was quick and the restaurant was super clean. Our server Sven was a badass dude, very attentive and polite. The all you can eat was definitely worth it. I went in so hungry that I could've chewed the crotch off of a ragdoll and left with a 7 month food baby. Sashimi was pretty bomb.“

“try the meatball pizza it's good“

“This place has great food for great prices. A must try!“

“I recently ate at this amazing Thai restaurant. Food was amazing and the owner Charmaine is so gracious and spent time visiting our table! Highly recommend trying this restaurant on San Mateo! You sound be disappointed with the ample servings!“

“Food was refreshingly good. Have had some inconsistency in the past. My whole family was there to celebrate a birthday and we're able to be seated in a semi private section. Not my first choice personally but it will always be a spot that my family goes for celebrations and for that I will always appreciate this location of the Olive Garden.“

“We are here at Vinaigrette in Albuquerque, NM. Fantastic place to eat!!! Our first time. We are from Sacramento, CA. We had the duck tacos, gumbo soup and the duck arugula with creamy goat cheese…super tasty!!! Love the decor, it was bright, relaxing and cheery at the same time. Our waiter, Christopher, was super!!! He was cheerful, polite, very interesting person to talk to, had some wonderful info about Old Town, and overall good guy!!! Thank you Christopher for making our dining experience lovely!!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!! Beth & Emre“

“I was crunched for time to feed kids at a local swimming pool. My friend didn’t submit online order correctly but the manager made everything right and got me out the door very quickly!! She is an amazing leader and her staff is wonderful! The kids were ecstatic about the pizza - it was a win, win situation!! Thank you!! June 4th at Brunch 11:10 AM“

“Hands down, the BEST Firehouse Subs experience at 6220 Paseo Del Norte NE, Albuquerque!

The entire team here is a shining example of exceptional customer service and meticulous attention to detail. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine enthusiasm—every employee made me feel like a valued guest.

They listened carefully to my order, ensuring every customization was spot-on, and the sandwiches? Perfectly crafted, steamed to perfection, and piled high with premium ingredients, just as promised. The staff’s teamwork is unreal—they move like a well-oiled machine, keeping the line moving while still taking time to chat and make sure every detail is right.

Special shoutout to the manager for fostering such a welcoming vibe and to the crew for their kindness. Whether it’s a quick lunch or a catering order, this Firehouse Subs crew nails it every time. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!!

Good to know customer service still exists.“

“Our server provided excellent service, and the food was very good as we have come to expect. We enjoy the chips and salsa prior to dinner, but the chips were nothing but small chip fragments. Our server noticed this and brought another basket - it too was nothing but small broken chips. The most concerning thing was the number of flies in the restaurant. We were seated inside where I would think it would not be so much of a problem - but the flies were almost intolerable. We noticed that other tables were also complaining about the flies.“

“Finally tried Mario’s after reading some great comments on the Neighborhood app. So glad I did! Pizza was the best I’ve had in Albuquerque. Freaking delicious!“

“Like all the other Chick-Fil-A restaurants, they have the best customer service of any fast food place.. they always have family events and my kids just Love coming over.
Update: still love the place, but prices are getting crazy, we don't visit as much because at over $7 a kids meal, it's just not possible“

“awesome food and service!!!“

“We celebrated our wedding anniversary tonight at Amore and they went out of their way to make it special for us. Recommend them 100%. Great food and people!“

“Sat right away for a Sat at 6pm I was happy. Waitress said hi pretty quickly but took a bit to come back which was fine since we were ready to order. We ordered dipping sauce. The breadsticks came around with the drinks but no sauce. Salad came out a little before the sauce and no sooner did we take our first bite of salad did our entrees show up. The waitress was apologetic regarding the timing and whatnot with the kitchen. All in all not a bad experience. She was very nice, the chicken Alfredo was the best I’ve had at this location.“

“I stopped by this Cheba location today after a hard day's work. I sat at the bar and was helped by Crystal! She was amazing. She made sure I was taken care of, she was professional and her customer service was impeccable. I definitely will be back and hope to be served by Crystal. She deserves all the praise!“

“My favorite item is the Italian Sub. Half the time I get the chips half the time I get the fruit cup. I usually get a large Arnold Palmer with sweet tea. Sometimes I get a pizza and salad but most of the time it is this sub with the Greek dressing. The staff are very friendly, fast, and work well with each other it seems. The restroom was clean when I went into it. And there was a cashier that went out and wipe down the tables that were empty while I was eating. That is always nice to see being done. Period guest come and go about every half hour or so so having the tables wipe down often, it’s nice. I have been to other places but love Dion’s. The amount of food and the price is great here compared to other places I have tried.“

“Nice establishment, with kind attentive workers. Although all Dion’s look the same, I really love the vibe that Dion’s portrays throughout their stores. The pizza’s are of course delicious. The subs are really good, my favorite is the Italian. The chocolate chip cookie is a go to. And you always gotta get Dion’s Ranch.“

“We had a mistake on our order last night, and today the awesome manager re did our order, no charge, and gave us a box of cookies. She was very helpful over the phone and at the drive thru and such a great personality. We appreciate her tons.“

“Excellent pizza since 1987 if I’m correct.“

“My husband and I tried this place two years ago and the pizza & salad was so superb so we remembered this place and got the same thing and it tasted the same.“

“Always on point. Good food and we never had a bad meal.“

“Go Monday for the mushroom soup. The manager makes you feel like family. The food is great. The Rio Grande and the chicken Salad are two of my favorites. The Waldorf salad is always fresh. It's not fancy but the portions are generous and the price is right“

“Went through the drive-thru, and we
did have to wait for the food, but that wasn't a problem. The food was hot and fresh when we were handed the bag. We were offered salsa. Loved the salsa verde. Enough spice that had me coming back for more.“

“We wish you were everywhere.“

“was a delicious sandwich 😋🤤 and atmosphere was awesome 👍 not too crowded.“

“Delicious pizza and lots of other options. Everything was great but the pizza was fire!“

“It’s a good place to eat. I highly recommend it 👍🏽👍🏽“

“don't order over the phone. they will never answer. owner probably has no idea how how terrible their employees are. also have been turned away an hour before they close. employees are more worried about getting off of work early.“

“Just went through the drive through and received the wrong soda, that was supposed to be diet. I explained to Tyler who was working drive through that I believe I received the wrong soda and it was important I had diet due to being diabetic. Without hesitation he got me a new soda and even made sure it was diet! I appreciate his kind gesture and no arguments regarding the situation as I've experienced in the past at other places. The staff working there always makes sure that it is a good experience.“

“Slapfish supports Lovelace ER with incredible dinner delivery for nightshift!!!! We couldn’t do it without the incredible support of our community ❤️ #ERstrong“

“Great service. Really like the food. Love the large bowl of salad that they bring, but it's just iceberg lettuce for the greens. Dinner plates avg $17.00 to 20 definitely a fair amount of food. They do have a full bar.

Vegetarian options: A lot of dishes have a choice to add meat or not.

Dietary restrictions: They did have a gluten free option i think.

Parking: On premises just north of the building. Gets packed.“

“We just had R&E deliver our company lunch and used the “It’s a Scoop” menu. Everything was delicious and so unique and all the employees loved it which makes me look good since I’m in charge of the monthly luncheons! 😉 Travis was a delight to work with as well! Thank you and I look forward to patronizing your business in the future!!“
