Plant-Based New Mexican Food That Feels Like Home

Elizabeth and Jonathan went plant-based and missed the food they grew up on — so they made it themselves. What started at a farmers market table is now Albuquerque's most-loved vegan New Mexican kitchen.

The Craving That Started It All

When Elizabeth and Jonathan went plant-based, the New Mexican food they loved — burritos, enchiladas, tamales, sopapillas — was nowhere to be found. So they made it themselves.

From a Tent to a Trailer

Elizabeth enrolled in culinary school, then the two started showing up at farmers markets with a folding table and a whole lot of heart. Those early pop-ups gave them the courage to launch a tiny food trailer.

Albuquerque Built This Restaurant

In 2021, the Albuquerque community funded Vegos's first brick-and-mortar home on Carlisle. The restaurant has since moved to its current home on Indian School Road, but it still belongs to the neighborhood as much as it belongs to the family that cooks in it.

Recognition the Whole Team Earned

Vegos has been named Best Vegan Option three years running — 2022, 2023, and 2024 — and in 2025, Edible New Mexico honored Elizabeth as Best Chef in the state. None of it changed how they cook; it just confirmed what the community already knew.

Still Scratch-Made, Every Single Day

Every protein, sauce, and filling is still made in-house, the same way it was back at the farmers market. The table just got a little bigger.
