50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Santa Fe

“The NEW MEXICO food {breakfast, lunch, dinner} at this place is A+++++. Yes, I am a native New Mexican - I very much know about New Mexico food. The owners are very much involved. Your server may in fact be an owner. John Funk / Roswell, NM / john“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“So unique! Very delicious !“

“This place is ridiculously DELIGHTFUL. The character of the restaurant, the decor, the staff... it's just a perfect little gem. If you get a chance, try to eat on the patio. I've had Indian food through the years and always like trying new things, but I'd never had a doja or experienced this tradition of food. Of course, I had to try the paper dosa... I mean, if they're gonna name the place after the dish, hit me with your best shot! I have never seen anything like that on a plate, which immediately made me giggle when the server brought it! But, the taste was not funny. It was absolutely delicious. I'm reminded by the H. Jackson Brown quote, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do." This is one of those places you'll be disappointed to miss.“

“Cannot think of a single thing this wonderful restaurant left out. From the moment we entered the reception we were treated with great service by the most pleasant and warm people,. Our waiter was wonderful. The food was amazing. We could have closed our eyes, pointed to somewhere on the menu and said, I'll have this; and it would have been fabulous. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Wonderful food and great service! Loved the Christmas chilies on my burrito!“

“Since they close at 3:00, I get my pie par baked and finish it in my oven at 500 degrees for 5 minutes. It comes out delicious! I love a half pesto and a half #2 16 inch pizza. Just fits in my oven. Really nice and helpful staff too!“

“There is nothing we don’t love about this restaurant. The food is “real” New Mexican with some excellent special touches by the chef. The ambiance is wonderful, and the decor is authentic. Even the music is well selected and at a volume that enables pleasant conversation during the meal. The staff is helpful, responsive and friendly. A special shout out to Daniel, who is appropriately attentive and professional, always with a smile. Already looking forward to our next visit!“

“The food, atmosphere and staff were worth the visit. The owner and the staff were welcoming and thoughtful about our order and gave great wine pairing recommendations and adjusted to 1/2 glasses as one was driving. The wine shop closed early but they were able to open up for us. Recommend!“

“If you are in Santa Fe you absolutely have to visit Tres Colores! We were up there with family and friends for my dad's internment in the national cemetery. There were 13 of us that showed up for lunch without calling ahead. The space is small but they didn't even bat an eye. They quickly slid tables and chairs together and seated us. Service was excellent and the food was some of the best I've ever had. The presentation was beautiful and flavor was phenomenal. I don't think I will ever be satisfied with nachos from anywhere else. It was so well balanced. I am grateful for the hospitality they provided and will always remember this experience.“

“I’m not a big fan of pasta but my husband is, we found this place while walking around downtown and exploring a bit, and we decided to tried. OMG this blow up my mind, mac&cheese here is DELICIOUS, if I wanna eat pasta I’m definitely coming back here, I don’t mind driving 4-5 hrs. Me and my husband ordered a size medium container of mac&cheese and it was super cheap and they give you A LOT. We were super full. Congrats to the owner.“

“This is a mixed review. Jospeh is a formidable chef, but the restaurant itself is run down, chairs uncomfortable, noise level excessive and service sketchy. Some of our food (Duck confit pad thai and mixed mushrooms) was excellent, but the watermelon gazpacho was way too heavy on the garlic, and my husband couldn't eat it. Tuna tartare was mediocre and overpriced. Waitress couldn't stop asking how things were "TASTING", but didn't wait for an answer! Building should probably be condemned and the decor is falling apart.“

“Address is now 1320 Agua Fria St! Santa Fe, NM“

“fantastic food, service was great. the waiter was extremely informative and attentive! the BBQ sandwich was really good!“

“Authentic French bakery owned by a French family. I ordered 2 cannelés and 2 pains au chocolat, they tasted just like in France! I also ordered an orange juice that was surprisingly fresh (rare to find here in the US). The decoration inside the restaurant is very beautiful. I highly recommend anyone to stop by if you want an authentic French experience!“

“The girl who helped us was fantastic. We’ve never been there before and she answered all our questions. The drinking chocolate was so good, and the many chocolates we bought were amazing! Thank you!“

“We are always recommending this place to our guests so we decided to check it out for ourselves and we were not disappointed. Owner brought a grande margarita that was sooo tasty. We ordered the combo plates. Huge portions and so very tasty. Tina was such a gracious host, Sopapillas were huge and lots of honey. Oh, we will definitely be returning!!“

“We've been visiting and always enjoying this local and casual Italian restaurant. A previous hidden gem, however seems everyone is also now enjoying. The menu items, service and food is always fresh and served hot. Open for lunch and dinner, takeout available via the drive thru window!“

“Perhaps the best meal we had while visiting Santa Fe. Edward, our waiter, was excellent considering we had a 5-year-old and a 14-month-old in tow. The food was great, and the service was individualized to our needs. A really great experience.“

“The food at La Choza is excellent. There are a ton of vegetarian options, and the green chiles and margaritas are delicious. We went to this restaurant 2 out of 3 days we were in Santa Fe, and if we were staying longer, we would go again. The server our second night was Luis. We had never met such an outstanding server. Luis made sure we had all the information to order something we would enjoy. He noticed that some crema was left off of my chile relleño before I even noticed, and he immediately sent some to the table. He was friendly, and when we mentioned what an excellent job he did, he said it was because he loves people. I hope you get to meet him while you are eating there!“

“The breakfast burrito should be called the breakfast, lunch and dinner burrito! It is huge - and delicious! Get it Christmas style. The play of all of the flavors is just perfection. Honestly, this is probably the best breakfast I have enjoyed in my lifetime. I had it covered in cilantro as well and washed it down with their medium coffee... a perfect pair! Don't sleep on this place. One burrito and you'll be pondering a move to Santa Fe.“

“La comida está increíble y el trato espectacular!!!“

“We were looking for a mom and pop hamburger place and found one. It did not disappoint. Gigantic burgers with any topping you would like cooked your way on the spot. The string fries were reminiscent of ribbons fries found at. Canton Trade Days in Texas. Delicious! Highly recommend! Great service and atmosphere. Great price, too!“

“Great and interesting combinations of ice cream that were very delicious!“

“One of our favorite restaurants when we are in Santa Fe! Friendly and efficient service! Amazing food! My husband says the coconut cream pie is the best he has ever had!“

“Excellent inspired food that tastes like reimagined tradition. Crepe, whole fried trout, and pork noodles were special. Super fresh with lots of greens, herbs, and vegetables. Small but appropriate wine list. Have the French Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect with the food. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Great service. Chef came to the table more than once to deliver food and check in. We would come back in a second.“

“Breakfast Burrito-Mixed w/ bacon, chorizo & polish sausage. MASSIVE freshly cooked burrito. all meats are always chopped, cooked all the way through to perfection. signature green salsa is delicious with a good spice kick.“

“Fine food, great service, very roomy space with lots of parking. Wine and beer choices are decent. Has AC cooling. Not a long wait for a table most of the time. Highly recommended. Tom.“

“Make the climb! San Francisco Street Restaurant awaits. A nice mixture of artisanal sandwiches, salmon and steak entre's, New Mexican food and good Margaritas! I like the open kitchen concept, those cooks work hard and servers try to keep up!
My steak was a little tough, it came with dry mashed potatoes and a roasted palano pepper on top with an onion ring on top of that! I wish the pablano was a green chile, yum!
The Margarita was sufficiently strong, which is a big plus in most restaurants, but it was a silver coin special!
My wife's chicken sandwich was fantastic, surrounded by more fries than we could eat.
Prices were great, considering the location. They don't take reservations unless you have a party of 6 or more. We arrived at 6:15 and we're ushered quickly to a table, but as we ate open tables became scarce, plan accordingly!“

“Really, REALLY want to give this restaurant five stars. The ambiance is clean and inviting, the menu options got me super-excited as a half Japanese, and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, the portions were just too small. Also, on the Bento, I would have liked to have more substantial sides rather than primarily a large green salad. The other sides they did offer were very tasty (roasted squash and pickled radishes)—wish they had given more of them.
On the upside, they have a cute shelf where they sell some unique Japanese ingredients like artisanal shoyu and various yuzu products.“

“this is literally my favorite coffee and my favorite place to eat in New mexico. everybody here is very hardworking kind and friendly and real. the food is superb! you can tell that everything is completely fresh. the eggs are real eggs. the ingredients are just very fresh, good ingredients! I could not come up with a complaint about this place if I searched for one. highly recommend“

“The BEST. One of the only places I’ve found around here with real authentic MEXICAN food. Great salsas, great meat.

The tortas and very large and delicious. The bread is always soft and fresh.

And they actually put beans and rice INSIDE the burrito“

“Service was on slower side of things throughout the meal, but all servers were pretty nice. All of my tapas were pretty delish, and I really liked their Spanish mushroom soup, papatas bravas and and mussels with coconut milk salsa verde: everything was spot on. Their Spanish negroni cocktail was lovely, too. The gateau basque dessert kinda ruined my meal: it seems to have been sitting in the fridge for the day but it was certainly not made fresh and I could hardly taste vanilla bean in it. A lady manager came by and was rather kind to comp it after I declined to try another dessert instead.“

“The food was so great I was sad I was full because I would have had all the rest too. We didn't tell it was a bday dinner but the server must have heard when we were talking and my husband got a bday dessert. Just a bit too bad when sitting on outside patio the tables are very close to each other.“

“I rate this 5 star. Friendly, excellent service and great food! Try the rice bowls and ramen. Will definitely be back next time we’re in the area ! Wow!“

“Food was like a 4.5/5 but service was like a 3.5/5. A few fatty pieces of meat, but that's not too unexpected. Food took a long time to come out after ordering. Had multiple tickets on a single table (because you order at the counter) and some people were almost done by the time the second ticket came out. While eating, we placed an order for hummas and extra pita and it took exceptionally long. It's like the kitchen works single ticket by single ticket and there isn't any one organizing the orders and expediting things like multiple tickets on a single table or simple food that could have been out in five minutes. They claimed they had several carryout/online orders come it and the restaurant was about a third full so I'd hate to see it when they're busy.“

“The food was great, and the service even better! We were in a time crunch to eat and make it to an event, and we were seated immediately.“

“Everything was perfect for our birthday celebration! Steven, our server, made it especially relaxing and fun. Everyone was friendly and did everything they could to ensure our every need was attended to. We dine there a couple of times a year and it is always outstanding.“

“Great for a couple looking for New Mexican food, just visiting from Kansas. Just good food.“

“Each and every visit, we enjoy something "new" to us - and the passion the chef(s) put into each of their dishes is truly remarkable. Do not miss Cafe Pasqual's. They will accommodate you for breakfast/lunch, and the wait is worth it. They do accept reservations for their dinner service.“

“Our first time at the Ranch House was less than an exceptional experience. Our waitress, Peggy Lee was the most professional, courteous and friendly person I have met at a resturante. She made us feel like we were old friends . The food was absolutely the best flavored I have experienced. The prime rib plate was to die for and I wouldnt have known it was being served except our waitress, Peggy recommended it. Very heads up resturante. I wish we had a Ranch House in Wichita Falls Tx.“

“Great craft ice cream! Truly New Mexican!“

“We love the tacos and we adore the staff! Every time, the service is friendly, prompt and exceptional. Love this place!“

“we ate here sunday with bloody marys and mimosas. the blue corn pancakes were extraordinary. we returned on monday because i always wanted to try chillquilles...so we both ordered a plate...they did not disappoint. the staff all were extremely attentive and kind. i wish we ate lunch here as well. there are no words to describe this gem, so go grab a meal and witness them for yourself. youll be returning“

“This place was delicious and so friendly. They have lots of vegan options for their authentic Mexican food - I've never had a tamale or mole before, so it was a treat to try both! Not far from the main old plaza, so it's easy to walk to if you're exploring the city.“

“This is our goto restaurant and we have visited at least five times. Everything on the menu is delicious. Don’t miss the 20 or so specials on the board above the counter. Drinks are excellent. Pizza is fresh and flavorful. Pies are to die for.“

“There has been a change to the breakfast menu, and it's so much better for that. My favorite change is to the Green Hummus Toast. It was a delight when it was made as an avocado based toast, but now is available with a delicious hummus spread. Featuring local sourdough bread that's lightly toasted topped with organic eggs that can be ordered in any style, (how they make the scrambled version so light and fluffy is beyond me) along with fresh red onion that is a complement and never intrusive. The feta cheese sprinkled on top just adds the finishing touch. My other suggestion? While this is a breakfast specialty, you might want a savory element, adding a side order of sautéed mushrooms. Yikes, that's really good!“

“Muy buena comida y buen ambiente“

“I went to visit this sweet shop with my sister during the holidays. staff was so friendly and the shop was so cute . I will be back to visit again.“

“At Iconik Red on Cerrillos, I highly recommend the pork chops with organic eggs and spiced potatoes slathered in red chili. Yum.“
