Some of the Best food and amazing service! Would Definitely recommend, and will stop in every time we are in town!

This has been one of my favorite restaurants in Albuquerque for a long time and their food is excellent. That being said, we called this morning and we're lies to about seating and after having 3 parties meet us here we're told very rudely by the hostess that clearly had an attitude that they could not accommodate us even though we had confirmed before we came. We will not be back. read more

Unfortunately, the meal my group had was really mediocre. Burgers dry, buns dry. The impossible burger is not done any favors by having swiss cheese on it by default -- it needs a creamier cheese to offset its dryness. The truffle fries were good. The waitress messed up the order too, and never got us our requested sauce. That would be forgiveable if the food would be good, but sadly it just wasn't. read more

Cool decor. Ordered nachos for an appetizer, took 30 mins. They were ok. We were very hungry so we ate them. Ordered mini mac and chicken tacos for our entrees. Took another 30 mins. The mini mac was gross. It was noodles with melted cheese on it. There was noodle water the bottom of the bowl. The chicken tacos were very bland. Got the excuse that there was a big top that made the wait what it was, only saw 2 7 top tables and very few other tables inside and outside of the restaurant. We'll stick to the breakfast from now on. read more

I ordered the fish tacos. When the plate came to the table I could see that the fish was a very dark black brown color denoting that the oil probably had not been changed for some time. I didn't want to be left sitting at the table while my family ate their food waiting on a reorder, so I proceeded just eating the tacos. The fish was encased in a hard shell of burned crust if you can imagine black ball shaped forms in a taco with slaw? The fish was like leather, I was so disappointed that I decided to go ahead and let the wait staff person know by tapping on the fish to demonstrate how hard it was. She gave us a discount on the fish, but in my mind did not remedy the sloppy preparation. I have been a fan of the Range in the past, dating all the way back to the first Range Cafe in Bernalillo. I loved the funky - artistic atmosphere and the congenial wait staff of that location. I also liked the other Range on Menaul, now closed. It used to be my favorite place to take out of town guests. It looks like they have lost control of the quality of their food however in the other locations that I have tried on Rio Grande and Central. read more

I just ate there and was very impressed with the fresh made food and the availability of a lot of dishes that I want to try. The chili relano with blue corn was excellent as was the beef enchiladas. I was very impressed with their dessert menu as everything looked fresh made by a real professional. I would highly recommend this place to anyone read more

I've been eating at the range in bernalillo since I was a little kid. Every location has always been outstanding until this one. The first time I went here I had a call in order. The woman told me to come at 10 am which like 40 or so minutes after I ordered. I showed up around 10.05 and waited almost 45 mins to actually get my order which was not even started. Things were missing like sides and small stuff. The staff wasn't extremely nice about it either. Other people around me were also noticeably angry about the overall experience. Today we ordered online and our huevos rancheros were missing corn tortillas and my wife's side tortilla was missing + a few other things that normally come on the dish. This location is rough and the service is seriously in need of an overhaul. I have worked in restaurant and bar management for years and this is truly one of the most badly run restaurants which sucks because the range is our favorite. I just want management or someone to fix this issue so this place can succeed read more

I came here for breakfast on a Friday morning and it wasn't too crowded! Mainly the hospital crowd of nurses! Staff was very friendly! I ordered the blue corn pancake with extra fruit!! Wow oh wow!! So crispy and fluffy!! There are pine nuts and blueberries inside the pancake! It was absolutely delicious!! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. The menu boasts New Mexican classics as well as New Mexican spins on old favorites (Chicken Fried Steak with green chile gravy, Blue Corn Pancakes, meatloaf). Each dish that we ordered was high-quality, made with care. Even the chips and salsa were homemade! We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Albuquerque read more

We decided to stop here randomly as a pit stop of our trip. Our waitress talked to us maybe 4 times the whole time, and when I asked about getting more water, she never came back with more. It wasn't until after everyone was done eating their meals that our table got refills. She seemed to not care about our table. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it wasn't terrible. There was too much eggs tho. I basically got an egg tortilla with a little bit of sausage. The eggs were cooked great, but there was just way to much. I would maybe come back and order something else, but the wait staff definitely makes me not want to. read more

Had Sunday brunch there last weekend. OMG - the pecan rolls! The size of your head! Rudy was a great server - joked with us, kept the coffee cups filled! Ask for his section. Make reservations so you don't have to wait. read more

I love coming here! I live in the neighborhood and enjoy the ambience, flavorful food and delicious cocktails. I have a sweet tooth and they make amazing desserts! There is something for everyone here read more

I have made a good faith effort to like Range Cafes, but the food is just plain bland

Love this place! Staff is always friendly and efficient and although I miss the dining experience, I will keep doing the take out until this damn virus is under control! So happy that they are staying open so I can get my Range fix. Just to mention a few of my favorites, try to meat loaf. Looks like filet mignon and almost tastes like it. Country fried steak and eggs is awesome mostly because of the green chile gravy. Can't go wrong with blue corn enchiladas or blue corn pancakes! Hot turkey plate let's me have my holiday favorite any time of the year, and did i mention the green chile gravy. read more

First time in town and stopped by for happy hour with my wife. Service was good and the menu had a good selection. Had the $3 tacos for happy hour and paired it with a $5 margarita. Even better they had impossible chorizo which I subbed in my tacos. Yummy! Definitely will come back next time in town. read more

Our experience here was less than acceptable we've eaten here twice and the second time sealed the deal we will not be returning.. we waited about half an hour just to order appetizers and drinks we waited another half hour just to receive the appetizers and drinks and the hot cheese dip came cold we sent it back and it came out the same time our entrées did.. the Mojito's had very little liquor not worth ordering and the country fried steak was horrible!!! The steak was completely disconnected from the batter and was way to salty the entire experience was really bad! if you do decide to eat here keep your order short and simple because anything too difficult will overwhelm the staff and it will not be enjoyable for you or the waiters! When I ask to speak to a manager they sent out what looked like a teenage boy who honestly didn't fix anything I am really upset about the entire experience and honestly I want my money back neither me or my husband will ever return read more

See all

I am still standing at the front counter waiting for a called in order that was supposed to be ready over a half our ago. The wait staff keep ignoring me, despite my having asked each one about my order. I do not recommend, will order from them again. Go to any other Range Cafe, but avoid this one like the plague. read more

I ate here yesterday, July 29. What an incredibly excellent meal. I started with a green chile margarita. Perfection!! The green chile gave it a little afterburn. Then we had chips with the 3 dips. All were delicious but my fav was the guacamole. Very fresh. Then the blue corn enchiladas with carne adovada, delicious chunks of slow simmered pork. With both the red and green chile sauces. Best New Mexican enchiladas I've ever had!! The service was impeccable. No room for dessert, although they look fabulous. I wish I could take this restaurant back to Palm Springs with me. (Maybe they'll open one there!!!) read more

Great place to eat I can to visit from texas and I was incredibly shocked on how good the food was!! Their food was AMAZING!! And our server was the sweetest!! I got Papas con Carne and my partner got the eggs Benedict and both plates were so good! The eggs were poached perfectly and my carne was done beautifully! Definitely recommend coming here!!! I'll definitely be here when I'm in Albuquerque!! read more

This is our first visit to The Range Cafe having moved to New Mexico a few months ago. The service was fabulous. Thank you, Britnay. :-) We stopped in at a slightly odd time (Sunday at 3:30pm) and yet the restaurant had quite a few fellow diners. The green chili soup and Turkey meatloaf were phenomenal! This may have been our first visit but it won't be our last. read more

Our first visit to Albuquerque and this place is right down the street from where we are staying. From the moment we walked in we were warmly welcomed. Our server, Christy, is energetic and fun. Cocktails are full strength and delicious. The food is excellent!!! read more

The Range Cafe - Spinach enchilada - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Range cafe has been my fiancée and I's comfort spot during my travel assignment here in ABQ. We haven't had a bad meal here and they know how to make a proper cocktail. While the food is superb, there's an individual working here that honestly should be running the place! Derrick welcomed us with open arms from the first time we strolled in and treated us like regulars every time after. No matter how busy it was, he always made us feel like his favorite customers. We've never saw him without a smile on his face and he always took the time to catch up with us and see how our stay in town had been so far. Range cafe on central Ave has been a highlight of our stay and Derrick is one of the best people we've met in ABQ. read more

What a find!! The beef enchiladas had chunks of beef, not some ground mystery meat. The green sauce was full of flavor The blue corn tortillas added a good change and flavor. You can substitute grilled vegetables for rice which is a welcome change if you want to eliminate a few carbs. Wish this was in my town in Florida. read more

A group of ten of us traveling through off the Amtrak stopped into this cafe to grab some food. We only had 30 minutes to order and get our food before we needed to make it back to the train. The hostess was very accommodating to our needs. The staff was able to prepare our food in a very timely manner. I got the kids burrito and it was superb! Everything from the homemade tortilla to the green chili sauce and potato wedges were amazing and very satisfying. Would highly recommend. read more

Service was friendly and place was clean. Not too impressed with the food though. Breakfast came out cold and lacked flavor. Chile verde tasted funky. Won't be coming back again. read more

Every time I come to ABQ I hit one of The Range locations for Huevos Rancheros. So good, perfectly cooked every time. Spinach enchiladas are excellent. Fried green chile strips are a wonderful starter to an excellent meal. Service is always good, no matter which location you visit. I love this place! read more

Slow service and lackluster food. Place is trying just slow. Tacos have zero taste. Salsa is bland

Such a shame. We were just here on Monday and had an amazing experience. The food was great and so was the service. We've been several times and it's always been great. We came in today to celebrate my promotion. I made a 9:15 reservation. We got there at 9:06. We got seated early which was awesome. We sat until 9:22 before the server came to our table for our drinks. At this point we were ready to order. 9:45 and our order still wasn't ready. A few people that were seated after us were already finished eating. It was an extremely simple order two omelets, 1 pancake, and a kid's burger. The manager came around and asked if we were ok. I told her no and told her our issues. She said she'd check on our order and offered us a cinnamon roll. We declined the roll because we wanted our food not a freebie. We waited 5 minutes the manager did not come back. We decided to just leave. While we were on our way out, the manager tried to stop us by telling us in a very rude condescending tone that our food was almost out. We told her we were done and didn't want it. She raised her voice and squacked "well your food is going to be free." I told her "We don't want free this was ridiculous we were just here on Mon. ".. and she interrupted me. I told her you know it's really hard to keep him waiting. Our son has Autism and having him sit for that long was getting difficult for him. I couldn't tell her that because she felt the need to raise her voice again. We told her again we were done and she offered us a gift certificate. We told her no. She needs to work on her management skills. As we were walking out I could hear her talking crap about us. If my son wasn't with us I would have gone back inside and told her how I felt. It took everything inside me not to. Screw you lady we don't need free food. We need people to do their damn jobs! read more

The spinach enchiladas were great, but the other 3 dishes had some issues. The taco salad wasn't dressed. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was dry: chicken a bit over cooked and not enough sauce. Maybe put blue cheese dressing instead of crumbles? And the country fried steak had a gravy that was straight up terrible. Literally no salt or other seasoning, and they obviously didn't cook the roux. It tasted like flour and milk. The server was excellent, however. We'd also love to see some more vegetarian options. read more

We ate here twice in a week the sandwiches, enchiladas and the small plates were all delicious. Great atmosphere and attentive service.

We were looking for a local place to have breakfast and the hotel referred this restaurant. The food was great and the server Derrick was delightful, very friendly and attentive. I would recommend this place for breakfast. read more

Such a fun place and so delicious!! Great atmosphere and the art is fantastic. My picky kids loved it and we ate sooo much! Absolutely recommend the cinnamon and pecan buns. read more

The Range is a solid choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Also we've had Christine (I hope that's her name) several time now and she's the best. read more

I received my order though Door Dash and it got to me cold and missing the English muffin. The gravy for the green chili chicken fried steak was in a tiny container that was about 1/3 of what you get at the restaurant. I would advise not to order delivery from this restaurant. It was gross read more

We came here for a business breakfast one morning for our first visit. We were expecting good food as many if not all had eaten at other Range locations Menaul/Bernalillo) and were disappointed. All of us commented that the food was just off, none at our table finished their food and service was so so. Nearly all of us stated it was sad that the level of service and food were not the same as the Standard Diner that occupied this space once upon a time. Very sad read more

I went here and the waitress paid us no attention and treated us like we were not important. I waited for my coke and water and she started talking to the other costumers and completely forgot about us. Then when we asked to order our food and she rolled her eyes and asked us what we wanted to order with a very sarcastic tone. She got us no napkins or straws my daughter has braces and needs to use straws. I went to the bar and took straws and napkins and she stared at me. I almost finished my salad and found a bug in it.I was so grossed out.I wouldn't recommend this location however the Rio Grande location has great service and great food. I felt like I was not important and the food was not clean I don't want anyone else to feel like this. read more

This restaurant is top notch! One of the workers Stephanie is a fantastic employee. High energy, enthusiastic and made the experience memorable with her friendly attitude. If I was a coach investing in athletes, she would be getting scholarship money! read more

Sitting here waiting at the House Range Cafe 30 minute wait hitting an hour, looking at 5 empty tables on the outdoor patio. Where's management making decisions. Covid 19 or not have a plan read more

Nine of my and I are traveling by train through Albuquerque and only had an hour to get a meal. We happened upon the Range Cafe. Their service was Impeccable. When we got in Celina was working the front desk and we expressed that we had minimal time to get in and out. She recognized our needed and met them with gusto. The food greatly exceeded our expectations. I would absolutely recommend this lovely cafe to anyone and everyone. read more

This used to be New Mexican food, it's more like a Californians idea of NM food. Nothing tastes like you expect it to, instead it's drowned in white cheddar and black beans. The tacos were so off palate they were inedible, I had chosen the chicken while my fellow diner chose ancho braised beef tacos, neither of us finished them. We couldn't decide if the cotija or ancho chile crema threw it off. We had chosen queso for an appetizer and what arrived was a bowl of very thick chips and what looked like white cheddar curds with mysterious additives that were neither chile nor meat, but looked an awful lot like mushrooms. This takes me back to my California reference, where I was once served Huevos Rancheros with no eggs, no chile and a heavy dose of black beans, spinach and mushrooms. It seems popular with out of state visitors, and that's great, more power to them. But don't go in expecting Nana's recipes, and if you need dessert, it's the bomb. read more
