CLOSED - Vegan!!! Empire Burritos! Burritos so Good – They’re Gooder?!!

CLOSED - Empire Burritos

Vegetarian Selections [Vegan is you omit the Cheese]...
with Seasoned Peppers & Onions or Spicy Vegetable Mix - with Guacamole

Burritos, Bowls, Tacos, and side orders.

The Spicy Vegetable Mix is cubed Sweet Potatoes, Onions, and Bell peppers - cooked with Canola Oil. The Guacamole has no dairy, and the Black and Pinto Beans are cooked without lard.

Four salsas to choose from: Empire Fire Roasted Salsa [Chipotle Peppers with Roasted Tomatoes], Sweet Corn and Jalapenos [Corn, Roasted Jalapenos, Cilantro, and Onions], Tomatillo and Jalapenos [Sweet and Tart Salsa with a Little Kick!], and Fresh Tomato Salsa [Tomatoes, Garlic, Cilantro, and Onions].

Three locations at:
Golf Course & Paradise:9401 Golf Course Rd. NW
(505)-899-5288

Jefferson & I-25:4320 The 25 Way NE
(505)-344-7200

Juan Tabo & Montgomery:11225 Montgomery
(505)-299-6140

Oh yes, this place rocks for burritos. Of course, there are tons of places in town to get a burrito or tacos - but this place has generous portions and with the security of knowing that they don't use Lard and their ingredients are well thought out is super! You can choose your type of beans, white or brown rice, and all the fixings to create your dream entree.
Me and Hubby will be frequent visitors in the future!

Ah yes! I've had many a lunch at this place since it's so close to my work and their burritos do rock! I like the fire roasted salsa a lot. They're thinking of possibly jarring their salsas to sell at their restaurants. I think this is an awesome idea. Note that their original location on Jefferson is still called "Santa Fe Peppers". The place is owned by a vegetarian couple from Colorado and they know what a vegan is. Very cool!

Oh yeah, Froggy's taken me to Santa Fe Peppers. Now I recognise the place!

They ARE good! I loved the option of ordering all those veggies on my burrito! Wow! I didn't know they had other locations, I'll have to check them out next time I'm in town.

Can you spell a-d-d-i-c-t-i-n-g?? I love the food at this place!! Good vegan food is so hard to find. My friends also like the chicken and beef options also.

On a sad note, the Empire Burritos located on Montgomery closed this week! Hopefully the economy won't force the other two locations to shut their doors, because I am addicted to this food in a bad way!
