12 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ohkay Owingeh

“Hands down this is the best New Mexican restaurant. Don't come here and order a burger, go to a burger joint. My personal favorite is the tostada's. Super delicious. Not to say everything is fantastic. The bowl of menudo, the taco's, burritos and the chilli is the best. 🔥“

“El lugar está muy acogedor“

“Old fashioned drive-in style burger joint. IMO, they have the best burgers in town. Their other menu items are good as well. Take note that this is a cash only drive-in before you pull into order. The location isn't the best to get to, but it is definitely worth the stop for lunch.“

“Excellent food and great service. Definitely recommend!“

“I recently visited Parasol from Pojuaque and was given the worst tamales they've ever produced (raw). I proceeded to go to the OG in Spaña. Not only did they make it right, but the tamales are great. They surpassed my expectations and stand strong as a staple in a town that absolutely needs them. They are always great and I will continue to be a loyal customer and will gladly recommend their food to everyone.“

“Awesome service the pizza is above the rest 🍕👍🏻“

“Visited Denny’s in Espanola NM yesterday and was very satisfied with the service and the food. Our Waiter was really on top of it and polite. The food was really good. Manager on top of it too. Hadn’t been to a Dennys in a long time but me and my Dad enjoyed it.“

“I love the diner theme. Today was my first time, I’d been wanting to eat here since I could first walk, and I finally got around to trying it today! The foot is resplendent, the burgers are amazingly cooked, and the onion rings are superb. Yvette was wonderful throwing me suggestions too, I 🫶🏻 U, DANDY BURGER!!“

“As close to homemade as you can get.“

“Clean, Great food with a nice variety, friendly service.“

“This is our favorite place to eat when we want some good sushi and the fried rice is so yummy! But my favorite is the fried ice cream! It's so warm and delicious! The service is so nice and helpful! And they have helped us out when we forgot 1 item. I live far from them. And they were so kind and understanding! And today my daughter ordered 3 rolls! They were so good! And ready very fast! Thank you Joji's staff!?“

“The place is modest in decor and feel which is enduring to me because the food is the primary star of this place. A feel good and welcoming place that delivers great food at really great prices.

After spending a Sunday at the feast day celebration in Jicarilla Apache Nation, we had arrived late in Hernandez, NM, needing to stop for gas. My friend suggested we dine at Socorro's Restaurant, having researched open eateries on Google Maps. Upon arrival, we were delighted to find the place bustling with cars bearing New Mexico license plates, a promising sign of a great dining experience.

Perusing the menu, we discovered the fascinating story of Socorro's Restaurant, owned by Socorro Herrera, who transitioned from singer to restaurant owner. With endearing self-deprecation, she acknowledged her initial lack of culinary knowledge and the skepticism of locals regarding her cooking abilities. I found her story and attitude captivating and was eager to sample her cuisine. My expectations were soon surpassed.

Both of us were famished, so we opted for combination plates, hers with red chile and mine with the spicier green chile. Our table was graced with ginormous plates of aromatic and flavorful goodness, accompanied by separate servings of sopapillas, a taco, and distinct salsas.

While the combination dishes were excellent, the highlight for me was the beans. They were evidently fresh and cooked to a rich crémeux textured perfection, reminiscent of ambrosia. My dining companion and I agreed that the beans were truly exceptional. Having family members who owned Spanish restaurants and being familiar with Northern New Mexican cuisine, I judge establishments based on three key factors: beans, Spanish rice, and sopapillas or tortillas. Chile is an entirely distinct category, influenced by my upbringing on a chile farm in my youth.

Based on these criteria, I would rate Socorro's Restaurant as follows: the beans were outstanding, the green chile was flavorful and excellent, the Spanish rice was delightful, and the sopapillas (a generous four of them!) were also exceptional. I rank this restaurant among the best in the area, and the prices are reasonable considering the quantity and quality of food received. The use of disposable paper drink cups and cutlery is practical given their commitment to providing quality food at affordable prices.

As stated in the beginning of my review the decor is modest and unpretentious, but this is inconsequential as the food takes center stage. Socorro's Restaurant is a welcoming and convivial space that consistently delivers exceptional cuisine at remarkable prices.“
