    It blows my mind that anyone would rate Vegan Vato less than 5 stars. This place was incredible. I got the Crunchwrap and the loaded fries with asada and the flavor was unmatched. 100% recommend.

    New Mexico Impossible Burger (that means green chilies among other condiments) and fries.

    We decided to come to the Differential Brewery (reviewed separately) last night specifically because the Vegan Vato (Vegan Dude) food truck would be there. We arrived about 4:30 and started with a round of beers. A few minutes later we saw the truck pull up and start prepping for service. After checking their menu on their website as and verifying our selections with the menu board, we walked up and placed our order. Though the chef was still prepping it was no problem to enter our order into his system. When it was ready (and it didn't take too long) a text alerted us that it was ready. The burger was thick and juicy with just the right amount of onions, mushrooms and green chile -- spicy but not overwhelming. An ample amount of fries made for a delicious and filling meal. The others in our party enjoyed their food too. If you are at the brewery (or anywhere else the Vegan Vato shows up--don't let the fact it is vegan deter you from ordering--the flavors and portions should satisfy even the most carnivorous eaters among us.

    I have been following on FB Vegan Vato back when ir was a food truck, always said I was going to eat there. I finally came to ABQ and tried the food and it was amazing! So good we order to eat in and then ordered to take back to the airbnb. Recommend this place.

    The Vegan food here is so good. Everything we had was spot on delicious! Breakfast items awesome. Lunch items awesome

    This is the location of where you can find really good vegan.  The 3 amigos are very good.  It is hard to find good vegan cheese.

    The cheese dip is really good. I would drive 30 minutes to get it. Friendly. I like that it is small. Excellent NMCali burro.

    Loaded fries

    Wow, I can't believe I am reviewing a vegan joint. These guys were in front of Marble West tonight. We got the loaded fries and wow.... So good! It was hearty even without meat and the flavors were just right with Green and Red chiles. If you get a chance to try it, I highly recommend it. And I would order it again.

    i got the crunchwrap, my husband got the quesadillas

    The food tastes like it came out of a frozen bag and the owner is really creepy to interact with. Won't be returning.

    We were in from out of town, tasty food! Yelp needs this review to be longer for some reason, bad user experience.

    We continue with the exploration of breakfast places and this time we chose Duran Central Pharmacy…read more Don't let the name trick you as it tricked us for a while. This is a pharmacy/store/diner with a very good local vibe. The pharmacy has a bit of everything, from books, jewelry, and toys, to clothing, decor, and kitchen stuff. And when we thought there was no space for a diner, we found where the magic takes place just around the corner, where we were welcomed and seated. People were friendly, kitchen staff were getting stuff out quickly, and our server was ok. Efficiency was a clear target for everyone and our food was on our table in no time. For food, our friends ordered the breakfast burritos (with red only and a Christmas version), , the hubs ordered the carne adobada, and I ordered the tamal plate with red and green, just like I like I like it . Everyone was pleased with their choices. The burritos were big and tasty. The carne adobada had a lot of deliciously marinated pork and the steamed potatoes were quite a good addition. The tortilla with butter was simple yet delicious, with a firm and thick tortilla. The tamal plate was almost perfect. The red and green sauces were amazing, but I was slightly partial to the spicier green chile sauce. The masa on the tamales was firm and good. If there was one change I would make, it would be for the tamales to have more filling. Overall, we had a good experience at a very unique place! Stop by the store to get some local products or useful things for your home.

    I have been told that this restaurant is very good but $14.80 for a cheese enchilada? There are…read moreplenty of other very good choices in Albuquerque. Mary and Tito's, Padilla's, New Mexico Beef Jerky Company, Hot Tamales, and Tomasita's. Only Sadie's and El Pinto are more expensive at around $20 for a cheese enchilada and you probably won't get complimentary chips and salsa there either. Not being cheap but for the money, I'd rather have a killer lunch at 66 Diner.
