    Cheery, casual interior

    I love Vegos. Casual little place serving vegan New Mexican cuisine. A gem, if you ask me. The food is so, so delicious. Plant-based goodness galore: everything I've tried, I've loved so far. Their tofu patty sandwiches are exceptional! They offer New Mexico Ferments Kombucha, which is one of the best kombuchas out there. Highly recommend Vegos for the extemporaneous take-out/delivery or an impromptu breakfast/lunch/dinner.

    We stopped here for a little snack and really enjoyed the house-made concha: both in texture and flavor! We enjoyed trying the chile relleno but we weren't as impressed by it probably because I make a vegan chile relleno with a airy thicker batter at home that we like. I still appreciated that they offer it but their version has a very thin and minimal crispy batter around the pepper. The red sauce they were served with was pretty good and had a little spice. I was told their flour tortillas are made by Bueno, if anyone cares to know :)

    So so so good!! Came here on a Tuesday evening 30 min before closing. We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try some delicious food. Vegos did not disappoint from the friendly staff to the beautiful interior, Vegos is a must while in Albuquerque. We parked in their lot, easy parking, and was able to order and then seat ourselves at a booth. I ordered a delicious fresh pressed juice and an order of the enchiladas with black beans/quinoa and calabacitas. Both were really delicious and flavorful. I don't need to add any hot sauces, which is rare for me. And I love that they don't rush us out despite it being almost closing time. Next time I'm in the city, this will be my first stop. I know their breakfast is probably FIRE!

    My last review for 2025 unless something changes but.... After passing the gluten test, I really wanted a vegan cheesesteak and we had come here before. Since our last visit, they added more seating to their dining room (they have booths with soft green paint on the wall, which adds to the vibe. Note: since it's a small building, the restroom is located outside and requires a key). The service was attentive and quick, we had all our questions answered and were checked up on now and then. My sandwich expectedly fell apart (just be prepared) so I scooped between bread what I could and ate the rest with a fork. So delicious, and so satisfying! 5/5 will return

    Best vegan sandwich I've ever had!! A batter fried tofu sando that tastes like a chicken sandwich ? Crazy!!

    Love Vegos! For the last year plus I have needed to be vegan due to my son's dairy allergy. Vegos has been my top go to! Their service is amazing, quick friendly and helpful in making recommendations. And the food is amazing! They have verity from burritos, salads to sandwich's! And tasty sweets too! The sopapilla fries are a delight! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, parking on a busy day can be a little tricky but well worth it! 10 out of 10 recommend! And they are one of my top favorite local places to get vegan food!!

    This was my first time visiting Vegos vegan restaurant in Albuquerque New Mexico. I was pleasantly surprised how great the majority of the food was! I'll start with our favorite items and work our way down. Loaded Fries: It was very wet and full of toppings , I loved how every single fry had flavor and toppings on it. A lot of loaded fries aren't like that, you end up running out of toppings at the bottom. I don't usually eat beans that much but their beans are enchanting. Definitely a 5 star dish both my fiancé and I both felt the same way about it. I think they forgot the seitan from it, but I can't tell if they charged me for it because their receipt machine was broken. At first I was upset but as I kept eating I realized the dish was really great even without it. The buffalo "chicken" sandwich, was just excellent. I got extra vegan ranch and added just a tiny bit more to the sandwich and I think it was a nice extra touch, but I think it's just great even the way it comes. The "chicken" is made out of tofu, but the texture is perfect you can tell they put alot of work into making sure that tofu had great texture. 5 star dish! The chips were great, they taste home made, the guacamole was great, I wish I could have a tiny bit more guac to go with the chips though, I would recommend also getting a side salsa or double guac for the chips. The Sopapilla was soooo good. Before I tried this my favorite Sopapilla came from café azul, but this was a contender, maybe even better than theirs. I just wasn't a fan of vegan honey. It just did have the same taste as honey. I would almost rather use agave maybe. But if you're talking about the taste and texture of the Sopapilla itself; it was A++ 5 stars for sure. The sandia burrito was pretty good, the sweet potato was a nice touch and I liked the flavors. I would say this was a 4 star dish. The elote was served cold which was definitely unique, would have been nice to know that ahead of time, but also the corn was a bit hard? Not sure why, seemed undercooked possibly. The flavors were there the texture and temperature need work. 3 star dish The Sopapilla fries... hmmm, I thought it was pretty good, but I would call it a Sopapilla churro if I was the restaurant, because that's what it tasted like. 4 stars for this dish. I also tried their sauces and I like the ranch, the chipotle mayo, and the honey mustard. The first cashier I had who rang me up, seemed a bit confused also not happy to answer questions about their menu. I got the vibe that I was bothering her almost. The darker skinned girl who was cooking though, when I received my order I asked her the same questions and she answered with a smile and a warm customer service demeanor. I'm not gonna hold a lot of this against them because overall the experience was really good, and I didn't expect a small town like Albuquerque would serve big city style / quality vegan food. I hope they do work on the issues and iron them out.

    Elote and gluten free strawberry empanada
    Holly S.

    Gluten free strawberry empanada was tough and kind of flavorless. Elote was standard. They no longer offer jackfruit in dishes. Customer service was very good. Good sized dining room but table were dirty.

    We are beyond glad they opened the new location. There's much more seating and the food and menu are even better. There's plenty of food options and all are delicious. The vegan food is some of the best in Albuquerque and is a fantastic spot to stop at if you are wanting any plant-based New Mexican food!

    These burritos always hit the spot! Visiting from VA these blow anything we have out of the water! We always make it a point to get a burrito. My favorite was getting one for the balloon fiesta the next morning! Didn't think the burritos could be better but here we are! Though I miss having the old location this one is super cute. It gives clean aesthetic and has space for many people to dine in, which was previously lacking. Even if you're not vegan I dare you to give this place a try and tell me it wasn't good.

    Delicious and crispy Vegan Chile Relleno (so good)!
    Yoda B.

    I am honestly so shocked and impressed. I have been wanting to try Vegas for over a year, and finally got to try them at the Indian school RD location. I really expected some basic black bean and flavors in general, but these flavors pack a punch! The texture of the relleno and the taste were just excellent. I thought I would miss the cheese possibly, but I didn't. The chile was fresh and hot, and the fry was perfect. Everyone was nice, and the place was packed. I'm assuming everything else will be delicious as well- hopefully I can try more menu items in the future (although I'm sure I will got back to this one since it was outstanding).

    3.5 stars for this Mexican-inspired diner. My very generous host ordered so many dishes because we wanted to try everything and we were hangry. Our first was the vegan elote... a small appetizer cup size of corn, spices and "cheeze" ... served cold it was just slightly too chewy for me texturally but good flavor. From there, enchiladas with seitan, chile rellenos with quinoa, loaded nacho fries, a crunch wrap taco, and a partridge in a pear tree ... JK. There's no animals harmed here! Seriously, we ate well. The cashew based "cheeze" was deliciously silky. But the star of the night was the deep fried Chile rellenos ... the crunch, the flavor and the accompanying beans and rice hit all the high notes. Nacho fries were rich and satisfying, though after a while it was sensory overload so some of the flavors became one note. Liked the friendly service and the fact that even when they were near closing, they didn't force us out the doors at the end of the night. I'd go back next time I'm in the area!

    Vegos is an absolute dream come true! I stopped by while in Albuquerque and had the most amazing experience. I ordered the stuffed sopapilla with seitan, calabacitas, and both chile on the side, plus a concha and a churro for dessert. Everything was beyond delicious! You would never guess it's all vegan because the flavors were so rich and authentic--it truly captures the essence of New Mexico cuisine. The service was top tier. The cashier was phenomenal--she gave stellar recommendations and was so friendly and welcoming. Her enthusiasm made the experience even better! I'm honestly sitting here drooling just writing this review. If New Mexico were closer, I'd be making daily trips just for Vegos. It's that good! Do yourself a favor and check this place out--you won't regret it!

A server met us, took our drink order, and we placed a few appetizer orders. We got some chile con queso, and the chicharron. They initially brought out the queso in two small plastic to-go containers. I was not very thrilled with that. Then, when we polished them off, they brought out some more in a small serving dish. Why we didn't get the dish in the first place is beyond me. The queso was good, but I didn't think much of the chicharron. My husband like it though. The server did an excellent job keeping our drinks filled. We placed our order, and it wasn't too long that our orders came out. I got the combination plate, red sauce, ground beef taco. My husband thought he ordered the enchilada plate, but the chile relleno plate came out instead. He told them that was fine. The ground beef taco was so delicious. The chile relleno was pretty good, and the cheese enchiladas were okay, even though it was like they were barely there. The pinto beans, not refried beans, were also enjoyed. What really set them apart was their papas - those potatoes were soft and super flavorful. Their red sauce was spicy and flavorful. The server brought out two fresh and hot sopapillas. We poured honey on those things bite by bite. I honestly think those were the best sopapillas I've had. I also used the restroom before we left. It might need a little updating, but it was certainly clean.

We ate from the border crossing past El Paso all the way to Taos, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque. And I'm sure we missed a ton of great places, but that being said, the places we did try... yikes! We rolled the dice on this place. At first I was like, "Great, another place that is going to give us a premade tortilla and some bland combination of stuff in the tortilla..." Now look... this is not a Michelin-starred place, nor is it Michelin-recommended. It's not going to be a spiritual experience. It's not going to make you think differently about a taco, an enchilada, or anything else on their massive menu. But this place has heart, soul, and there's a lot of hustle. The tortillas are made fresh, right there behind the counter (i.e., you can literally watch them crank them out), and that makes a ton of difference. The food is honest, without pretense: fast and affordable. The ambiance is equally without pretense -- college kids, working-class folks, families, academics... The food was simple, spartan, and honest. No frills. Not extraordinary, but above average for the context. There is an ASTOUNDING amount of variety on the menu, and the combinations are infinite. I very much enjoyed my meal, I very much enjoyed the people-watching, and I very much enjoyed the experience. This was perhaps the best meal I had in New Mexico -- the cheapest, and the most memorable. If this place was a beer, it would be one of those local lager/pilsners that is as cheap as a Pabst/Coors/Miller but punches up way past the pretentious IPA scene. Thanks Frontier.

Overall it was ok, but the beans and chopped chile put down so much liquid it rapidly became a soggy texture less mess. My turnover was tasty and the red chile also ok but not up to the rave reviews I've heard. At this time, I'd rate it the third best red I've had in NM. (See my review for La Cocina in Espanola for my pick for best Red chile in NM- so far anyway ) Overall, I'm glad we finally got the opportunity to dine at this local institution. When we do give it another try, I'm going to follow the recommendation for chicarones and pork adovado. Actual rating 3.5 stars.
