You must go here for New Mexican food!

Sadie's is a beloved New Mexican cultural icon! Come here to experience New Mexican cuisine, a unique style of food smothered in locally-grown Red, Green, or "Christmas" (both) chiles. We love our chile in New Mexico, and Sadie's red chile is one of my favorites (note - you need to request the vegetarian chile, which is also vegan).

Veg options: They have accommodated vegetarians for a long time, but recently updated their menu to feature a vegetarian section. Most items can be made vegan, or are already vegan. The food is soooo delicious, even without cheese (I used to eat here before I went vegan). The chile is spicy, so be prepared to drink lots of water! They also have fantastic chips and salsa.
Some examples of what you can request altered to vegan (request NO cheese, butter, or sour cream):
Chips and Salsa
Calabacitas (seasoned squash, onion, corn)
Bean Tacos
Bean Taquitos
Papitas Fritas con Frijoles (fried potatoes and pintos)
Bean Burrito

***NOT VEGAN: THE SOPAPILLAS HAVE MILK POWDER. These often come as a side with your meal - be sure to request tortillas as a replacement.***
I'm not sure if their guacamole is vegan; need to update review later.

They are infamous for HUGE portions. If you ordered anything smothered in chile, be prepared to take home leftovers! An exception to this is the tacos tend to be a medium/smaller sized portion.

They feature a full bar. This is a great place to order margaritas! Note that they do not serve vegan-certified alcohol, and the classic margarita you'll need to request without honey.

A lot of menu items are bean-heavy, but please don't let this turn you off. The chile is extremely flavorful, and the restaurant is reliable, family-friendly, and delicious!
