The Range Café

Don't miss this place when you're in the Santa Ana Pueblo/Bernalilo area of New Mexico. In fact make it a point to go out of your way to get there if you have to. It is an amazing meal. We came here to try the Christmas breakfast burrito. And my friend had the Blue Corn Relleno Plate. Both were excellent probably the best chile relleno I've had in a while. The red sauce was a little too late for me a bit on the mild side and not so heavy with the red chile, but I was able to get an extra side of the green chile which more than made up for it.Tried the pickle juice bloody Mary which came with all the trimmings and was so delicious and my friend had the scotch ale. Hands down the service was excellent and attentive. Just wish we had had room for dessert. Especially when we past the bakery on the way out. The whole environment was wonderful and interesting with so many wall hangings including art for sale. The café is an institution.

Service is good. The shop is clean and pleasant. The food may also be good. I'm not sure. My problem here is the menu. I don't care for chili which makes most Mexican and nearly all New Mexican pretty much out of bounds for me. I had trouble finding something to eat here. The staff was pleasant and polite and we did eventually manage to find something off the menu for both my wife and I. But I won't be back. And maybe that's my fault for thinking that it was a breakfast restaurant rather than a New Mexican food spot. But if you're not a chili fan, look elsewhere.

Stopped in for dinner and some drinks since I hadn't been in a while. I love the decor in this spot, it's really just a fun atmosphere. It wasn't crowded and we got seated right away. Probably a good thing, since otherwise I would have been hanging out near the dessert case and they all look so good that that's never the best plan. I might forget that I intended to get a meal!The server was great about giving us time to read through the menu and make our decisions. She was also good about checking on us periodically, making sure the water glasses were full and we didn't need anything else. I got a house margarita and the relleno plate and they both hit the spot perfectly. The rellenos had a good amount of cheese and the chiles (I got mine Christmas) had a good kick to it. The margarita was a good accompaniment and definitely paired well. I need to remember to go back more often.

We walked in Range Cafe and was seated at a booth right away. It was very convenient while we had a small toddler who needed to sit in a booster seat. Service was very prompt with everything until the end where it did slow down bc it got busier. We did order a lot of food for 3 adults and 1 child. We spent about $120 after tip. I really enjoyed my Ruby Red Grapefuit juice, and would order it again. I had to share it with my toddler. I actually finished aafter we were done eating. I didn't finish my breakfast, however, bc it was a lot of food. I added impossible chorizo patties on top of my huevos rancheros with Christmas chili. Everything tasted fantastic. I will mention that my biscuit wasn't as tall as I remembered it last time. It looked like a basic biscuit, which was a little disappointing. I did enjoy it with the jelly anand butter. We ordered a brownie to-go, and I didn't enjoy it. I've never had trouble eating brownies, either. Even my family didn't really enjoy it. :/Overall, will come again and try other dishes, and the pastries.

Wonderful lunch at range cafe!! 10% off your entree if you order a dessert before you order your meal, so I got the cream puff and it was AMAZING!! We all did the Thursday nacho special and it was delicious and a great deal! The service here is always INCREDIBLE, the staff is so sweet and kind!

Here we are again at a restaurant in Albuquerque where I just want to start off by bragging about wonderful customer service. Annemarie was amazing, bubbly, and positive! It's professional servers like this that almost make you demand yourself to return. Thanks for making our day! The atmosphere was cute, with bright colors and lots of characters to see, and a giant bar! The food was..... amazing! Darn it! I want to find something not near perfect. Sitting next to my beautiful women makes it even better! I ate the huevos rancheros. She had the carne adovada and grits. And shared a turtle caramel, apple cheesecake! O'yeah! It was great. We're talking about returning after church tomorrow! No joke!

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Range Cafe. I had carne adovada over cheese grits topped with crispy onions and avocado - excellent! My husband thought his Southwest bowl, which contained black beans, roasted veggies, eggs, spinach, avocado, and turkey sausage, topped with cotija and smoked chile crema, was outstanding. After eyeing the pastries while we waited for our table, we were excited to see that if we ordered dessert with our entrees, we would get 10% off an entree. Unfortunately, the maple cinnamon rolls weren't considered dessert, but we thought the green chile apple pie we ordered instead was delicious.

The place has a lovely southwestern ambience, and some really fun sayings on the walls. One of the shared that desserts is stressed spelled backwards, and exhorted patrons to try their desserts. Smart campaign, and we bought into it. The waitress was really sweet, and attentive, and got all of our complex orders correct. Food tasted great.

It still feels like its former incarnation as a JB's to me, but Matt DiGregory's The Range Café on Wyoming has been here for some time now. It's reliable, but it's not the first place I ever think to head. The food is usually okay but sometimes disappointing and somehow doesn't ever seem as good as at the newer EDO location (that used to be DiGregory's Standard Diner) or the original location in Bernalillo, and the room doesn't feel as nifty, either. End result is that, while this is the closest outlet of the restaurant to where I live, it's the one I visit the least. But I'd like to pay well earned respect to our terrific server Nikki, who made our lunch today feel like something special: she was patient, on-it and welcoming in such a friendly way that we are more likely to give this location another go here soon.

This is a great local, casual place. And it's pretty popular. I the desert case. There's a full bar. We had breakfast and everything was delicious. Produce was fresh. Pancakes were yummy. Eggs were great. Bacon was perfect. Staff were friendly. Orders were correct. The restaurant was clean. Parking was plentiful. We've eaten here before and plan to return soon.
