I eat at Vegan Vato two or three times a week via Uber Eats. I love the food, it is perfectly on point. Looking forward to my first visit so I can see who makes all of this great stuff!

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.

This is some of the best vegan food In Albuquerque. Rome makes exceptional New Mexi-Cali dishes! The hella good tacos are a go to, and the loaded fires are delicious!! Very filling, large portions, and super friendly service. Right inside the Imperial motel on central, very fun, colorful, nice patio and bar in the back!

The Vegan Vato is amazing. Everything on the menu looks so good, it was hard to decide what to get. I got the crunch wrap and it was amazing. My husband got the nachos and they were also really good. Service was good as well. The salsa was great. There was easy street parking and it is inside a cute motel. If you are vegan, you should check this place out!

We're visiting from out of town and this place was recommended by the car rental place. We loved it! The Tostada was excellent! Very flavorful and satisfying. My wife had the Vato Burger - delicious! (As were the fries.) Might have to engineer a stop on our way out of town.

SO GOOD. My wife and I moved here recently from Portland, which has a pretty amazing vegan scene. Vegan Vato is amongst the best I've ever had. Perfect textures and flavors. I love the different choices of protein. My wife had the Birria Jackfruit and I had the BBQ tempeh. I'm looking forward to trying the jalapeño cauliflower next time. Great food, highly recommend.

Wild, came here to get some good vegan food but they ere already closed, please fix your hours. This is the second time passing through to come here and they are just closed every time. I work in the service industry and manage a vegan restaurant. Why post hours if you aren't going to keep them? Hopefully next time they'll be open? Still gonna give 3 stars in hopes that we will get to try it and update my review once I get to actually eat the food.

The food was amazing. My family and I landed in ABQ and were starving after a day of traveling. We got an impossible and seitan burrito and the kids each got loaded fries. The flavors were spectacular and the portions were generous. We love supporting vegan businesses and we wish them the best.
