I wonder if they would come pick up my credit card and check if I got up to leave? Only giving two stars as the staff of three seem to be trying. It might be because it's a busy night or they are young and trying to get it right. Either way I paid the price. The only seating available was at the counter facing the kitchen. Both need to be cleaned. The counter was so sticky I had to put my cloth napkin under my arms to keep them from sticking to the wood. There are dust bunnies hanging from the the light fixtures in the kitchen. The dinning area looks clean, back of house not so much. I ordered the meatless loaf and pasole. After a 30 minute wait, for both, I had a cold plate of mushy loaf, cold mashed potatoes, and soggy vegetables, and a cup of room temperature over salted pasole. Why would you not bring the soup while I was waiting for my meal? It would have made thirty minutes go by quicker. I will say the flavors were good and well developed, the textures and temperature were a miss big time. The service wasn't bad, it was just non-existent My water was never refilled and other than taking my order, picking up my plates an vs leaving the check no interaction with the waitress. No how is everything? Can I get you anything else? I really wanted to like this place. Pretty disappointing.

First taste was very good. I had the curry chickpea wrap. Excellent fresh ingredients and very good flavor. I'll definitely be back. I totally forgot to try dessert. The quinoa meatloaf sounds very good. Staff was very welcoming.

Delicious food, friendly service, very easy to customize dishes to make them vegan. The food will leave you full and satisfied.

Beyond delicious vegan food. Many choices on the menu, including delicious desserts. Also serves alcohol. Will return to taste another interesting menu item. Friendly and helpful staff.

I had the meatless loaf today. I am sorry to say I was disappointed. It came with a cup of potato. They were something like a home fry you would get if Having with an egg. They were well seasoned. They were not crisp. The meatless loaf was dry. It was going in the direction of something very tasty but it stopped short. All it really needed was more sauce. It was just very dry. The salsa was tasty. Not at all like what I am accustomed to. It was kind of sweet. So, all n all I am not able to do 4-5 stars for what I selected. Clearly seasoning is there. It was very close to being really nice. The potatoes were the center of the entree when I thought the order was for the meatless loaf. The zucchini was was good.

Spending the weekend in Santa Fe and I have this guilty pleasure of watching food network in hotels since we don't have cable. We happened to catch last weeks diners drive ins and dives where they covered the acre. We were already on our way to Albuquerque the next day to pick up friends at the air port so it seemed too good to be true. We got in for lunch and loved everything. Buffalo Cauliflower usually doesn't excite me because I can make it at home and everyone with a vegan option does cauliflower but the "wings" were phenomenal. Maybe the best restaurant cauliflower I've tried. I had the meatless loaf as an entree and it was just divine. The loaf won't trick a carnivore but the pairing with seared (?) mashed potato's, crispy onion straws, and the seasonal veg was a squash and zucchini mix. We're taking our friends back to the airport Monday and already thinking about going back

OMG! The food that Chef Alfredo made was Michelline Level!!! I can not WAIT to come back!!!
Polly Poupore
Wow!! What a delicious meal. Vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores in our group are so happy. Every plate is made from scratch with love, obviously. The wines are delicious and cocktails delightfully made of local spirits. I will definitely return…again and again.

The cauliflower wings were good. I also ordered the New Mexico True burger and it was a DISASTER. It was a complete soggy, mushy, inedible mess. The flavor was also bland and missing entirely so not even worth trying to eat through the mess.

My husband and I ate here for lunch on Friday right after flying in to Albuquerque. He ordered the Mac and cheese and a bowl of posole and I got the Irish Nachos. Both of our orders were made vegan! The soup was a red posole and it was pretty good—a little too spicy for my husband, but I ate it instead. The Mac and cheese is good for vegan Mac and cheese, but if you aren’t accustomed to vegan cheese, I don’t recommend it. The Irish Nachos were fantastic, whether you’re vegan or not. The chips were delicious and held together really well with all the stuff piled on. I would definitely order that again! Service was fast and friendly—overall our experience here was great!
As a long time patron of vegan/ gluten free friendly restaurants, I WISH this restaurant existed on east coast. Staff is knowledgeable, patient, and open minded. The cauliflower wings are the BEST I have ever tasted.

Such a great spot!!! We stopped here on a road trip and I am so happy that we found a place that catered so well to our vegan diet. On road trips that can be a challenge but this place was perfect.The food at this restaurant was incredible. It tasted good and was very high quality. The staff were all extremely nice and have good service. The chef himself came out and talked to us and other people in the restaurant and was very friendly. He even gave us a sample for the road!I also really really liked the vibe of this place! I definitely would stop here again next time I’m in Albuquerque.

This place is the bomb diggity!! We were on a road trip back to Kansas City and we stopped by hoping for a great vegan experience and they accommodated!! This cool guy named Sean came out and greeted us as well and made us feel right at home. Great Vibes. Delicious Homemade food. And just overall a great experience. I HIGHLY recommend. Five stars all day

This place had some of the best vegan/vegetarian food I’ve ever had. Breakfast burrito (vegan style) well exceeded my expectations! Love the wide variety of options. Also loved how I could see the chef cutting fresh veggies and making things to order. Amazing place; I highly recommend checking it out if you’re in town!

I love that this place is vegetarian without just substituting a bunch of soy products for the meat! Everything I've had has been great, the staff is very friendly but can sometimes be overwhelmed so it can be a bit slow. Did I mention carrot bacon? I had never heard of carrot bacon before so I didn't know what to expect but it was cooked just right and very tasty. They also have a vegan menu which is just as good as the vegetarian one, I just am not capable of giving up cheese! Check this place out even if you're not vegetarian or vegan, you'll be surprised in a good way and if you are vegetarian or vegan, definitely give it a try!
