Best vegan mexican food in New Mexico! - Edit
Most of the menu could be made vegan and all we tried was delicious. We were not familiar with south Mexican cuisine and loved every bit of it. Service was friendly and fast. We will definitely come back again.

Five-star experience as a vegan diner - Edit
Dinner here was amazing. I understand why Happy Cow only allows 4 stars for restaurants that serve non-vegan options, but this is a case where we absolutely had a 5-star dining experience as vegans.
Read moreThe menu is huge; the list on their website seems to be only a portion of what they actually serve - tons of vegan dishes, and lots more that can be made vegan by request. I'm pretty sure I could eat here 25 times, try something different every time, and not get tired of it. It was fun to explore southern Mexican cuisine - lots of unique options that you wouldn't find on a stereotypical American-Mexican menu, including many varieties of mole and even things like huitlacoche.
We enjoyed the chile en nogada, the enchilada roja, and the taquitos dorados. I'm not sure what the vegan shredded "chicken" option is, but it was delicious and I wouldn't be surprised if it was house-made. Some of the best refried beans I've ever had.
The portion sizes are on the smaller side, but not unreasonable; we paid a bit of a premium for the quality, and it was worth it.
Our server was super friendly and very happy to help with recommendations (again, the menu is HUGE!) We felt like first-class diners all the way through, and we all know how rare of an experience that is at a restaurant that isn't vegan-exclusive.
If you're considering Fiesta Oaxaca vs. any other option, go here. You won't be disappointed.
Pros: delicious food; unique southern Mexican cuisine, huge variety of vegan options, friendly, knowledgeable staff/easy to order vegan

Great - Edit
We had great, kind, friendly service. The food was amazing! We had vegan tacos and mole enchiladas. We loved that most things on the menu could be made vegan, it was clearly marked, and the server was super knowledgeable about the food. He gave us a selection of sauces - green, red, and spicy red - and all were delicious. The mole was super rich and tasty. The meat substitute was good, fresh, didn’t seem like a packaged product. There was a little cheese sprinkled on the beans, so you might want to remind them if you don’t want that. We sat outside on the patio, and the inside seemed lovely, too. This was a nice experience and food we were happy to find in Santa Fe.

Awesome food. Smaller sizes - Edit
Lots of things can be made vegan. No separate vegan menu. I got a stuffed pepper and it was delicious. Could've been a bit more quantity but it was well worth it. Vegetarian friends had quesadillas and liked them. They let them get one of each quesadilla. Sangria was pretty good.

Mole! - Edit
MY daughter ordered the mole assortment. It was fantastic and vegan. I am a vegan because meat gives me lumps on my fingers. I would return to Santa Fe ust for their moles.

Best Mexican vegetarian/vegan food I’ve ever had! - Edit
We stumbled upon this unique Mexican restaurant for dinner during our trip to Santa Fe. We were so pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegetarian/vegan dishes including a favorite— vegetarian burrito with Oaxacan molé sauce which was out of this world! They seem to have figured out a proprietary vegan filling that was both healthy and savory. This place is a must visit for vegans/vegetarians when you visit Santa Fe!
Read morePros: Excellent food with a proprietary vegan filling, Amazing array of sauces/condiments, Friendly staff!
Cons: Outdoor area could use some updating, Include more dessert varieties

Amazing vegan options - Edit
The restaurant serves meat but the default menu is vegan. Almost everything is made vegan, even the tamales, and you can add a vegan protein like tofu or mock chicken, and vegan cheese. That being said, the menu does have animal meat on it and they don't bill themselves as plant-forward. I've been vegan for 15 years; my husband for 30 . We're huge foodies. This place impressed us. We tried two different enchiladas, both of the tamales (one is made of yucca!), a Mexican pizza with mock chicken and chorizo called Tlayuda. The rice alone was so yummy. The entree that sent our heads spinning was the chili relleno. The waiters were so kind and helpful (we ate there both days we were in town!) and you could see the pride and love for food in the way they talked about and served our order. Love this place.

Many many vegan options! - Edit
The menu has many, many vegan options marked clearly. Almost all items can be made vegan. They make their own fake meat, plus they have vegan cheese! Super delicious, we really enjoyed our meal, so glad we gave ‘em a try. The Oaxacan Tlayuda was super awesome. THANK YOU Fiesta Oaxaca!

Delish & lots of options - Edit
LOTS of options and super delish. Being a oaxcan restaurant I wanted to try the mole ( never had before). It was super tasty. The balance of the flavors was nice . My partner got the enchiladas and loved them. Yes they’re a little pricier but it’s right downtown near the old town square so what do you expect. Tons of options and they’re clearly knowledgeable. Would definitely visit again.

Fully two thirds of the items on the menu have a vegan variant, and they are clearly-marked. The flavors are rich and varied, and there's something for pretty much every palette. I highly recommend the Chile en Nogada.

Mostly Veganized - Edit
I was surprised not only to see a vegan menu, but their regular menu with many listed "vegan option available." They have their Happy Cow sticker proudly on the door. Their vegan protein is a mix of tofu, soy crumbles, and mushrooms. Both our orders were phenomenal and some of the best vegan Mexican food we've had. Menu clearly labeled. You really can't go wrong.

So many options - Edit

Flavors - Edit
It's pricey but the mole flavors are amazing. The vegan menu is extensive and everything we tried over several visits was great. I ordered the Chile en Nogada without realizing it was the most expensive vegan option, but it was well worth it. The vegan horchata is a must order as well. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.

Delicious Vegan Mole! - Edit
Items that can be made vegan are clearly marked on the menu. Tried the Oaxaca Mole enchiladas and it hit the spot! The mole was rich and savory. Appreciate that they make their own “meat” substitute in house which seem like a blend of tofu & mushrooms. Would totally be back to try their other moles.

Mole!! - Edit
So good! So filling. Staff was great. I loved the vegan ‘meat’ blend which I think was tofu and mushrooms. Very rare to find mole that’s vegan. I tried the Oaxacan mole enchiladas, but wish I could have also tried the tamarind ones. And the cactus and jicama salad looked so good too

Very tasty, tons of vegan options - Edit
Almost everything on the menu had a vegan option! My partner had a Oaxaca Mole enchilada that seemed to be filled with tofu and was very tasty. I sampled their two vegetarian (not vegan) quesadillas. Everything seemed to be made from fresh ingredients. Would definitely come back if we return to Santa Fe!

Very tasty mole. Most menu items have vegan options. - Edit
Lots of options. It seems to be mostly substituting tofu in for meat but what we had was tasty. You might have to remind them “Queso Vegano” or “No Queso” if you don’t like vegan cheese.
Read moreThe staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Pros: Most menu items have a vegan option, Mole!, Friendly staff
Cons: Vegan options could be more creative than sub tofu

Our Favorite Vegan Mole!!! - Edit
Fiesta Qaxaca made all my Vegan Mole Dreams come true! Pretty much everything has a Vegan option with a home-made Vegan meat-sub. We had the Mole Sampler with Chips, Vegan Mole Oaxaca, and Vegan Enchiladas, Christmas Style. So good. So Vegan. If you are in Santa Fe, go there!
Read moreWe came back again, since we were in town! The Amarillo Mole Enchiladas are magnificent, but we still love the classic Oaxaca Mole Enchiladas and the Enchiladas Christmas Style (both red and green sauces.) And this time, I took pictures.
