50 Best Salad Restaurants in Albuquerque

“My better half got a heaping gyro that came with a Greek salad that included beats. She ate half. Yay, for leftovers.
I wasn't feeling great so the chef made me an off menu simple chicken and rice dish. I really appreciate when staff are able to make accommodations. It's a reflection of their character and that of the owners! Thx Green Z!!!“

“Literally googled sushi. This was the first place to pop up. The customer service is exceptional. The food was phenomenal. This place isn’t fancy. It has a very cozy/intimate vibe! You have the option for all you can eat. Worth it if you are starving. First time here and definitely coming back. Try this place. You won’t regret it.“

“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...“

“Old fashion friendly service. Greeted as soon as we walked in, even while taking care of other customers. Our 2 year old got gifted a cookie for existing and that made his day. Appreciated the welcoming vibe for the kiddos.

Clean dining area and bathrooms.

Food was worth the money. Everything’s expensive now a days but the portions are worth the money.

Enjoyed the chicken burrito having Spanish rice vs plain rice- what a unique surprise.

The 5th street Cubano was great. Homemade bread and you can tell. Pickles and spinach in every single bite! Huge plus considering a majority of places skimp on the fixins.

Best in customer service.“

“I have been going to Milly’s on jefferson for over 10 years! Hands down my FAVORITE breakfast spot! Great Staff! Quality and Constant is the reason why i go almost everyday!“

“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“

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

“This place is great they have a really delicious potato salad and serve food at amazing prices. I really do think that people need to go here more often it is a family-owned small Mom and Pop shop with delicious food. You really cannot go wrong“

“I love their sandwiches. If I am looking for comfort food I come for the Cubano Sandwich with the side of pasta salad. They have to have the best Cubano, everything about it is yummy and perfect. I am excited to eat my other half of my sandwich later. My kids love this place too!“

“We had salads and a pizza flight. There was a lot more food than we anticipated. The pizza was very tasty, and the Cesar salad and chopped salad were solid. My only negative was menus were not placed where we could figure out how the process worked until we reached the order stand, which made us hold up the line (first time visit here).“

“Good fun and really wonderful food“

“Best New York pizza in ABQ“

“friendly staff, good vibes and the pizza is on point.“

“5 stars across the board!

Our server was Crystal. She was pleasant, welcoming, efficient and attentive.

The restaurant was clean and presentable.

Our food was delicious. I got the Rio Grande Skillet, with chorizo and mixed chiles. My ex-wife got the Strawberry Crepes Combo. Both were well-prepared and delicious.

I highly recommend this restaurant for both food and service. We will be back if ever in Albuquerque!“

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

“great coffee and waffles.“

“Wonderful food, great atmosphere.“

“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!“

“This was our second visit to the Olive Garden in Rio Rancho, and once again it did not disappoint. Our server, Caitlin, had excellent presentation and provided outstanding service—she anticipated what we needed without us even having to ask. The manager Bea also stopped by to welcome us, which was a thoughtful touch.

We previously had a terrible experience at the Albuquerque location, so the Rio Rancho team has truly been a breath of fresh air. We’ll definitely be returning to this location in Coors, hungry for more.“

“great pizza especially when asked well done love that it's a new mexico chain pizza place 🍕 nothing better then our green chili 😋“

“Good pizza & friendly atmosphere“

“I have eaten at most of the Dion's throughout albuquerque. They are not all created equal. The location on Montgomery notoriously gets our order incorrect. Also the sandwiches are often slightly different. I will say that this Dion's has the best vegetarian sandwiches that I have come across in the Albuquerque. This particular location really loads up the vegetables, and I feel like there is value. There vegetarian sandwich without the cheese is perfect for my vegan tendencies and is absolutely delicious. This location has the best I have come across si far. The photo below is with a meatball sandwich as well. Aside from the food, the restaurant is kept clean and is inviting. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive. No complaints.“

“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!“

“awesome food and service!!!“

“Loved dining on the patio with our dogs 🐶 🐕 the pizza was delicious 🍕 love their ranch dressing“

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

“In general, great place but this most recent visit was a little off. The Jamaican Jerk sandwich was a bit light on meat. The order was an online order and it was done, but still sitting behind the counter with several minutes expiring before someone asked if I was waiting for an online order.“

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

“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!“

We had the pleasure of having Hugo as our server recently, and he provided an exceptional experience. He was incredibly hospitable and attentive, ensuring we felt welcomed throughout our entire visit.

Hugo truly went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. Because of his outstanding service, we will definitely be returning. We highly recommend asking for him!

11 months ago -

Dominic was incredibly friendly and awesome! We will definitely be back soon and specifically ask for him.“

“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“

“try the meatball pizza it's good“

“I really like the food and it's usually pretty good. There have been a few times where the quality wasn't on par but the last few months or so seem to not disappoint. I really like that they use fresh jalapenos in the sandwiches versus the pickled ones. Please never stop carrying spicy pickle chips!“

“I mean it's Dion's. If you live in New Mexico you pretty much believe they have the best pizza ever! And their green chili is usually pretty good. Of course because it's Dion's you can have a birthday party here and they don't charge a fee.“

“I think.. I'm writing this review more for me than for Chick-fil-A, it's a cultural icon which is categorically delicious, believe it or not, I've only been to Chick-fil-A, in the last 12 months, the first one I visited, was in Austin, Texas, and now I enjoy, the tasty food,.. I have a bad habit, I live about 40 miles, away, and I'll stop by, and enjoy it while I drive, I would consider Chick-fil-A an American cultural item. Certainly, I think what I need to do is stop in and actually eat in the restaurant, I've never seen quite an operation. That's so well run, and the people are nice, and the food is quite good,.. I would hate to ask the question, what do you fry the food in, I'm trying to get off of seed oils, and I suspect, that the answer would not be to my liking, but that's my problem, not the institution, if you're passing by this location, by all means do stop in..“

“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.“

“Bought the hatch chili pizza at Walmart delicious!“

“Dion’s is a must try when in Albuquerque. The pizza slices were huge! The pizza came out fresh and the sauce to topping ratio cannot be beat. The pricing was also very reasonable for a slice! I’m very sad that when I return to Texas that they do not have a Dion’s. Overall, I had an amazing experience and will definitely be back when I visit Albuquerque next time!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slice Parlor is epic! Last night I ordered a salad and they were completely out of lettuce, leaving it as a sad, hilarious spectacle of lonely tomatoes tumbling around like wiggly worms in an empty bowl! Their Mammal slice still rocked with sausage, pepperoni, ham, and bacon on thin NY crust—huge slices (worth every penny!) perfect after Marble nights!“

“We wish you were everywhere.“

“Always has a clean dining area, & my experience I get correct & prompt service. I esp. enjoy the delicious salads n subs! I'm not all that crazy for the pizza though...“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“bacon and egg wrap and also love the Madagascar cold Brew“

“We had a party of 12 and our server Owen was super attentive and helped us celebrate the birthdays in the group! Food was delicious!“

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

“I highly recommend this Olive Garden.

We went there for our anniversary. John, our server, was amazing. We had the Tour of Italy with Minestrone Soup, Ravioli Carbonara with grilled chicken, and a salad. They were all very good, as was the Raspberry and Bellini Peach-Raspberry Iced Teas. We will be back.“

“Celebrating an 80th Birthday. Everyone's food was good except for the Birthday guy. Huevos Rancheros had very little taste and the eggs were too mixed up in meat. Would not have ordered meat if he'd known that. Meal was disappointing for him. The dessert Flan was a nice gesture.“
