La Salita - Albuquerque

I would rate la salita higher, but happy cow will not allow it, as it is not a full restaurant. some of the best new Mexican food in nm, let alone vegan food in nm. they offer a separate vegan menu with vegan cheese. their filled sopapillas with impossible meat and roasted beans are amazing. they have really good avocado rellenos are super good as their enchiladas. afteros are a bit meh. their sides are also amazing. reispapapas are my target. their sopapillas are a necessity when they go and are only 25 cent per. even their chips and salsa before their meal are stupid good. always great service also here. updated by previous review on 2020-08-04

First time trying La Salita and I'm in love!! We ordered the impossible enchiladas, the vegan stuffed peppers and sopapilla and everything came out DELICIOUS. Hands down best Mexican food in Albuquerque. The staff was incredibly helpful and polite and I was so happy that they had vegan options for us! Highly reccomend! (They even have vegan cheesecake!!!

Read the reviews and got a vegan Chile Relleno oh. My. God. So effing good. Highly recommend.

It's great that they have a seperate vegan section on their menu, but all you need to know is to order the Avocado Chile Rellenos (all rellenos are made with an eggless batter and you can request vegan cheese). Absolutely delicious!

A separate vegan menu to order from made it easy to decide. We pretty much ordered one of everything and it was super tasty. The waitstaff was very friendly and double checked that I ordered vegan cheese because I just started calling it cheese lately. The items that had vegan cheese were loaded with it, which is good or bad depending on how you look at it, and some menu items are fried. The red and green sauces were also really good.
