The Range Cafe - BREAKFAST BURRITO! Turkey sausage with green chile - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

First i want to say i usually go to the Rio Grande location. This location (Down town) has a really bad parking situation , it is DEF smaller than the other locations building and parking space. You might need to park on side of street . I walked in for a party of 1 , and was told i can get a seat immediately at the bar . i declined as i don't like very high bar seats . Was told it was going to be a 25 minute wait (which it really was) and recieved my table . my table wasn't the cleanest . I read the menu i ordered churro french toast sticks and a side of carne adovada (both new items to me ) first want to say the churro french toast sticks weren't good . in fact i almost asked to sent them back . I LOVE cinn-sugar and those type of vibes . the sticks were almost flavorless with essence of burnt . it didn't even taste like bread it was the strangest flavor and DEF no cinn-sugar taste AT ALL . I won't be eating this again. Now the Carne was 10/10 i have never tried it here before either and it was really flavorful, good spice and a good portion for a side. I would def get this again and in other dishes as well! ! The service was okay, not great and not bad, nothing to ride home about and no actual complaints. Over all i would give this a 3/5 . I don't know if it's the location and staff but i will say I have always had great experiences at the Rio Grande location . My bill was shy of 20$ which isn't bad as i got water with lemon as well . I luckily had rewards points which put my bill down ! read more

We had just landed and we're about to drive to Santa fe but wanted to eat first. What a cool place. I love the aesthetic. We sat at the bar and had a really good experience, our bartender (I wish I knew his name) was super friendly, helpful and we had a good conversation. The food was good. My husband had the nachos and I had a chicken enchilada with green chile sauce plus the salted caramel boozy iced coffee drink which was just like having dessert before lunch....and delicious read more

This could have been a quality meal, except for 2 things. The food came out warm, not hot, and the service from the bartender just seemed lackadaisical. I chose to sit at the bar. Although the bartender was nice, it seemed like she was away more than being around. I ordered the combo platter which consisted of a relleno, enchilada and a chicken taco, along with a side of rice and pinto beans. As mentioned above, unfortunately nothing was hot. The rice was actually cold and the beans were just eh. The main part of the meal seemed to be a little warmer as I dug in. But, because it wasn't that hot, it got cold quicker than normal. BUT, I was starving and ate the whole thing. I'd have to say the chicken taco was probably the best part of the meal. And I washed it down with a $5 house margarita (Tuesday special). I'd love to come back on a Monday and try this green chili pot pie. But I don't think ill be back in ABQ anytime soon. read more

The food was good, the waiter was working hard, but he really needed bus help. The support staff didn't seem happy to be there. We had to ask for our coffees after 30 minutes, served ourselves water from the bar. If you're in a rush, you might want to find something else. read more

Service was good, cute place. I haven't been here since it was the Diner. The food tasted good, just the egg was way overcooked for a Benedict. I did mention it to the waitress, I told her not to worry about sending more. She didn't seem to attentive of the egg overdone. It tasted great, good flavorbut the yolk would have been nice. Will come and try sometime again. read more

These were massively disappointing, happy hour nachos. We were going to order more food, but we stopped after the nachos. The service was indifferent to the point of being incompetent. Not nice but true. This used to be the place, but it's not anymore ... read more

Great spot for breakfast in Albuquerque. We were passing through Albuquerque on a cross-country route 66 road trip. We'd had a horrible time trying to find a place to crash the night before so we were tired and ready to be over and done with Albuquerque. I scoured Yelp for a good, dog friendly breakfast spot. The look of the place for perfect with the nostalgic Route 66 vibe we were seeking out. They gave my dog water and a treat (after asking me first). And the staff was just as attentative and friendly for us as well. The food was really good. I've never had cream cheese in an omelet before, and now I'd totally recommend it. Made it so very creamy. read more

This was a really nice and quirky diner in Albuquerque. We were on a small road trip and were hungry so we decided to drop by on a whim. And we're glad we did! There where a lot of fun diner decorations but still with its own style. A lot of mini stoves true to the diner's name. Our server Rob, was fantastic. Super nice and attentive. I had the BCB (Bacon Cheddar BBQ) burger and truffle fries. Burger was good and not overtaken by bbq sauce. Sometimes I like that, but this one allows the flavor of the patty and the onion rings to come out. The truffle fries might be a bit strong for others but I really enjoyed it. Crisp and tasty. The Santa Fe Line burger was delicious. It was juicy and tender with just the right amount of tanginess. A member of our party ordered the NM Mac and Cheese. According to them, "the Mac and cheese was delicious. Requested no green chile. Served fresh and hot. The cheese was not too liquidy, but still like liquid. (In a good way.) Crumbs gave a bumpy texture. Found little bits of red and green, which I think were veggies. Nut allergy friendly. Would order this again. Sigma meal!" We ended our meal with a slice of Key Lime pie. It was good and the lime was not overbearing. After some bites though it was too sweet for my taste. Needless to say we did not regret finishing it lol. I've only had Key Lime pie a very few times in my life so take it with a grain of salt lol. Great dining experience and would definitely return next time we're in Albuquerque! read more

The Range Cafe was highly recommended to us by one of our dearest friends. We definitely had to try them out. This place is very welcoming. There are plenty of choices where to sit. You can choose outside seating, in door seating and side seating. We chose in door seating so we can look at and enjoy the diner set up of the restaurant. Our waiter Rob was excellent. He told us his food recommendations. We also informed him that our child has food allergies. He made sure to check with the kitchen and came back to us to let us know ingredients and how they prep the food. We ordered BCB Burger with truffle fries, Santa Fe Line Burger with fries, New Mexico Mac & Cheese and Key Lime Pie. Everything was delicious and made to perfection. Our burgers were all medium well and tender. The green chile sauce was perfect. Just the right amount. New Mexico Mac & Cheese was plentiful and you can taste the gouda. Key Lime Pie was absolutely delicious and so far the best Key Lime Pie we've tried. We've tried plenty from many different places. Their Key Lime Pie is on the top of our list. We definitely enjoyed our lunch here and will recommend The Range Cafe to all our social circles. Thank you Rob! You're awesome! read more

The Range is a fun place. Each location has its own version of very eclectic, artsy, wacky decor. A group of us went for my friend's birthday, and we had a big round table and festive atmosphere. The service was good and attentive for about 8 of us, with meals and desserts. The food is good, with some nice vegetarian options- the creamy cheese and spinach enchiladas and some others. The pie is yummy. Overall, it's a good family diner sort of place. Not amazing food, but good. read more

This was one of the worst! This is nothing like the Range in Bernalillo. Ordered an omelette and it was so dry and tasteless. The coffee was cold and old. The hasbrowns were burnt. I rarely will write a review unless it's bad. The waitress didn't even notice we did not eat. read more

The Range has been my 'go-to' restaurant for years. With the different locations around town, I prefer the location on Central though I've eaten at all of them and miss the one on Menual very much. The decor is consistent at all locations. I've had my favorite meals many times over and protested loudly when they removed Osee's Tomato Soup. It's back big time. If the cup size were to be referred to as a bowl, then the bowl must be enough to feed 2-3 diners. Or take the leftover home to continue enjoying the tasty treat. However, still tasty, something changed. The server brought the soup to my table but I thought it was by delivered by mistake. I thought someone else ordered the grilled cheese sandwich but NO! Instead of adding cheese to the soup as before, the cheese is in a sandwich. And it wasn't totally cooked like a grilled cheese sandwich. The cheese wasn't as melted. And the bread. Hmmm. Personally, I could have done without it, but the cheese! I'm puzzled as to why the sandwich now but I'll tell ya, if you're up to sharing with a friend or even someone on the street who's hungry, for the price, it's well worth the sharing! You'll make someone's day! read more

We go to the range a lot. But lately the food quality and "correctness" of the orders have been off. Way off. Earlier in the week the one on Rio Grande had a lot of misses. Service was good but they just could not get the order right. So tonight we tried the one downtown. It was horrible. They kept blaming it on the new menu. Did they not practice? The tempura asparagus was inedible. The asparagus itself was very thin and so tough that we could not cut it nor chew it. Every thing else we ordered was wrong. It bad quality. Tomatoes in salads that should be in the trash. Overcooked steaks. Wrong dressings in the salad and not in side as requested. And so much more. After this we made the decision to never visit The Range again. Which is sad. But enough is enough and there are too many other choices. Very sad demise for this formerly reliable restaurant. read more

I've been solidly ho-hum on all the various outlets of Matt DiGregory's The Range Cafe for years (while loving his now-closed Freight House and the previous incarnation of this particular restaurant, The Standard Diner), but last night's visit to the Central Avenue EDO outlet was just outstanding. The room was clean and well decorated. Staff was on-the-spot, accurate and friendly. And the food was very delicious, at a reasonable (for these days) price. The chiles were spicy but also very flavorful. The smashed burger was carmelized. The chile con queso was delicious. And the desserts were fantastic (as always here). Our server/bartender was a special delight: I don't know that she could have been more welcoming or efficient in giving us a great experience. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I kinda can't wait to return to The Range Cafe on Central just east of Downtown. read more

Not a great experience. The restaurant was not busy when we walked in. We requested to sit outside and it took a bit for someone to greet us. The table was disgusting, so we needed to ask for it to be cleaned. We ordered rather quickly. I ordered the mimosa flight along with the blue corn pancakes and my husband has the wagon train. We waited about 30ish minutes before we got our food, mind you I didn't even have my drink yet. I was told that the bartender got super busy. I didn't want the excuse, just an apology. (While waiting for our food, we watched an older man back his vehicle into another car, he didn't even look if there was damage when he got out). They took the mimosa flight off the bill. which I didn't need. The food was good, incredibly filling. I was bummed by the slow service. We ended up spending 90 min there, which is kinda crazy for breakfast. Not sure I would go back. read more

Dying for some good con queso. Con queso on my tacos for dinner the night before and then con queso with my eggs in the morning. Had my fill until I return to Albuquerque!!! read more

The service was great as it always is but the food quality has definitely gone down a lot in the past years. The BLT was dry and had no balance. Too much turkey and not enough of the other fillers. The salad dressing was super amazing!! Highly recommend the lemon basil vinaigrette for your side salads. Overall good experience but slightly disappointed in the BLT. I've eaten other things here and those are generally pretty good. read more

Great food and the place is clean and the staff is nice. And is locally owned. We must support our local businesses.

Food was ok pretty mediocre for the prices. My girlfriend was disappointed of her chicken fried steak. My burger was decent not anything to ride home about. Service was bad. The restaurant was basically empty and our waitress didn't care to come around here and there to refill our drinks or check up on us. $16 for two adult drinks and two kid drinks! Would I come back? Definitely not. read more

I was in ABQ for a week for work and was staying at hotel nearby so I walked over for dinner. Nice restaurant. Very impressed. Nice ambiance, friendly, courteous staff. I ordered the bourbon steak with mash potatoes and steamed veggies. Very delicious. The steak was nice and tender and had a delicious flavor brought out by the bourbon sauce. The potatoes and veggies were delicious as well. I had the banana pudding for dessert and it was to die for. I love banana pudding and this was right up my alley. I would go again if just for the dessert, but I will go again for dinner as well and maybe try this place for breakfast or lunch as they have a very nice menu for both. I highly recommend read more

Food was excellent and so fast! I had the deconstructed burger plate (forget what it was called) but it was exactly what I wanted. The Chile con queso is a bit expensive but so worth it and they give you enough chips which I love. read more

We will never go back to the Range Cafe. We entered the restaurant and stood there while 4!!! employees walked past us. Not one employee welcomed us or even looked at us. Just as we were going to leave, a waitress screamed from the bar and told us someone would be with us. When we were finally led to our table, the waiter was nice enough, but was timid. The food was tasteless. Our hot chocolate took well over 20 minutes to make and it was cold by the time it was brought to the table. The eggs, potatoes, everything was tasteless. I do not understand how restaurant owners/managers don't pay attention to their business. It all starts with service. I won't even mention the condition of the women's bathroom. Never again. read more

Ordered the classic eggs benedict, took 30 minutes to come out, potatos were cold and bread was soggy. on top of that the eggs were undercooked, clear and watery. left hungry and dissatisfied. although others in my party were satisfied with thier dishes. read more

I came here for the bacon flight, but sadly it was taken off the menu. Happily, I arrived at Happy Hour! I got $3 off my green chile margarita. Delicious! Then I tried all four of the HH tacos ($3 ea) - carne adovada, calabacitas, chicken, and red Chile braised beef. Also delicious! The service was excellent. They have patio seating. Some on street parking. Hoping to try the expansive dessert menu, or breakfast soon! read more

Wonderful food. Nice staff. Great desserts! You'll love this restaurant. Breakfast is what we had.

What a great restaurant and small local chain. This is the third location we have been to and it's more unique as it has a retro diner feel. As with all a little tongue in cheek humor and decor. Food is so good classic New Mexico diner. Apparently long ago was a tire store. I had the burrito with red and green aka Christmas chile. Very good and huge. I don't remember the waitresses name but she was really great. We will definitely go back. Note near the downtown hospitals if you happen to go read more

Visiting the area for work and this place was within walking distance. First off, when you walk in you are treated with a case full of desserts that make you want to skip the meal and hit the sweets. Alas, I actually ordered a meal, and it was pretty darn good. I had a breakfast burrito with ham and bacon and a mix of the red and green sauce. I plowed through it quickly, pausing only to wipe the sauce generated sweat from my head. Will definitely come back and try some of the desserts! read more

Couple things. 1. This was the *third* of the Albuquerque Range Cafes my husband and I stopped into today. (Er, yesterday as of writing this.) Bernalillo, Rio Grande, and this location last. Bernalillo is it's own stripmall-sized thing; Rio Grande I had just smoked a big fatty joint in Old Town before and it was only a run-in/run-out sitch (explanation will follow) and I have ABSOLUTELY NO opinion on that one. I made it like two feet into the lobby. Probably a great place too. *shrug* And then there was three, uh, the third: Downtown. Meant to also be an in-and-out (getting to it) turned into us realizing we still had time to kill before our plane and would more than likely have to eat at an overpriced sports bar in the airport. *shudder*. So we got food. The actual restaurant space is... a restaurant... space. Nothing really sets it apart from most other restaurants. It's clean, the staff was friendly and patient with my ass coming and going and then coming and I think going again after I had, um, came one more time. It was a very arid experience, I promise. For not really standing out too much, the food was way more standout than I expected. I ordered the quesadilla and my husband the green chile corn fritters to share. Both were great and the fritters had more of a kick than I was expecting. Which, to be fair was none. BUT the real reason I had my husband shuttle my husk to and from multiple Range Cafes is the Art*o*Mat machines they have. If you aren't familiar, look it up. (You clearly have the means to and unless your toddler is on fire or there is a capybara pulling up RIGHT THIS MINUTE, you've no excuse not to). I stumbled across these machines in Santa Fe (our hotel had one in the lobby) and it's such an amazing concept and execution that I had to seek out more machines. Hence three Ranges. It's really cool to see this chain putting these treasures in your establishment. Will be back for sure. (Also, shout out to our server whose name I will never remember [see Old Town Joint above and a follow up joint to this meal] but knew who Rainer Werner Fassbinder was. If I hadn't been exhausted from the Taos to Albuquerque drive, followed by lots of driving/walking around for penny-pressing machines [husband's vacay collectible] and Art*o*Mat machines, I would have engaged more. You were cool, I was tired at the moment) Next time we are in town, I will be back. read more

The Range Cafe Central. It's a new restaurant here, but it's also an old restaurant in the ABQ area. The Range Cafe brand has been around for years and they have a well-deserved reputation. What makes this particular location even more special is that it was transformed from one wonderful restaurant to the Range during our COVID-19 quarantine life. The former restaurant was Standard Diner, a hip, sophisticated version of Range Cafe. Within the neighborhood, we were all sad to see the Standard go but you can't go wrong with The Range and all of their New Mexico-inspired dishes. To help us adjust, the owners decided to keep some of the Standard favorites on the menu and to keep the Standard Diner decor. Win-win. We all win. Their food is a proven winner. Here's one side note: This Christmas, I ordered their one-person Hot Turkey Plate which is on their menu. It comes with roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry-orange chutney, and a side vegetable of their choice, in this case, it was green beans. It was a great addition to my day, plus, there was so much food that I have enough for one or two more meals. Another thing that made it special is that they prepared the turkey right on the carcass. You know it's fresh and not processed. This particular dish is the quintessential dish The Range Cafe offers. A delicious meal created with the freshest ingredients made from scratch that harkens back to your childhood. At least, from my childhood. The perfect comfort food. read more

We wanted different things for lunch, and the Range had a diverse menu. One niece ordered cauliflower risotto and her daughter and her friend ordered grilled cheese sandwiches. Husband ordered the build your own pizza (sausage) and I ordered Alex's quesadilla with chicken. The sweet woman who cleaned our table outside and seated us in the warming sun brought us chips and salsa to stem our hunger. She also brought us hot tea, coke, and a cranberry margarita (more ice than drink!). The cream separated in the hot tea, which was unappetizing. Our sweet lady brought me another tea, this time with no cream! We didn't need honey as the tea we ordered were sweet. When my niece ordered another cranberry margarita, it came without ice & was MUCH better. Due to CoVid, we patrons ate outside. Due to social distancing, we sat at one table outside and there were three other parties - a single, a double, and a party of six. We were all far apart. Everyone wore masks unless eating or drinking. Everyone's food was delicious! Our service was outstanding, too! We will definitely be back. read more
