Range Cafe

Range Café is a locally owned and operated restaurant chain based in New Mexico, renowned for its unique blend of New Mexican and American cuisine served in a vibrant, artsy atmosphere.

Established in 1992 by Tom Fenton and Matt DiGregory, the original location in Bernalillo began in a converted gas station, offering a cozy setting for patrons.

Despite a devastating fire in 1995, the café reopened in 1996 at its current Bernalillo location and has since expanded to multiple sites across Albuquerque and Los Lunas.

Menu Highlights

The menu at Range Café features a diverse selection of dishes that showcase the rich flavors of New Mexican cuisine alongside classic American favorites.

Signature items include huevos rancheros, green chile chicken enchiladas, and blue corn rellenos. For those seeking traditional American fare, options like meatloaf, country fried steak, burgers, and blackened salmon are available.

The café is also known for its generous portions and homemade desserts, such as the acclaimed Death by Lemon cake.

Each location boasts a distinctive, eclectic décor filled with whimsical art and local crafts, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for guests.

The friendly service and commitment to quality have made Range Café a beloved institution among locals and visitors alike.
