" This restaurant is a gem! My friend recommended the tacos and she was spot on. They were delicious! The staff was friendly and made every effort to ensure a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere was laid-back, perfect for a casual lunch date. I also loved that they have vegan options! Next time, I want to try their famous sopapillas. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I won't be returning to La Salita any time soon. The service was a bit lackluster. I ordered the turkey enchiladas, but they were cold and honestly just tasted bland. The atmosphere feels a bit sterile; it needs a whimsical touch to feel more inviting. I left feeling quite disappointed, and my experience was less than memorable. Next time, I’ll skip this spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Albuquerque, I make it a point to stop at La Salita. Nothing beats their New Mexican food! The carne adovada is my absolute favorite; it's packed with flavor! The staff is attentive and helpful, adding to the whole dining experience. However, the atmosphere could use a little sprucing up, as sometimes it feels too much like a cafeteria. Still, can't complain about the fantastic food! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a New Mexican spot that balances authentic flavors with a cozy atmosphere, then La Salita is the place! Dishes are generous in portion, and I loved the green chile options. Our server was attentive and super helpful in recommending dishes. I went with a friend who had never tried New Mexican food before and she loved it—resulting in a memorable experience! Definitely on my list for future meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! I brought my family for dinner last week, and we loved everything. We tried a variety of dishes — from the turkey enchiladas to the stuffed sopapillas, each plate was a feast! The flavors were on point, showcasing the vibrant tastes of New Mexican cuisine. The service was impeccable; our server was attentive and friendly. Best of all, they have fantastic vegetarian options that didn't compromise on flavor. Highly recommend for a family dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the tacos at La Salita! My family and I tried a mix of dishes and were thrilled with how each dish was bursting with different flavors. The staff accommodated us very kindly, and we felt at home. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly. I can't wait to come back and introduce my friends to this delicious spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Salita with high hopes based on previous experiences and reputation, but I was a bit disappointed this time. The food lacked the authenticity I was looking for, especially when it came to the green chili. It seemed more watered down than I remembered. On the upside, the service remained excellent with a friendly and welcoming staff. I might give it another chance, but my recent experience has me questioning some of their offerings.
