Gift Shops near Bernalillo, NM

“The Range Cafe in downtown Bernalillo has long been a local favorite on account of a menu featuring hearty diner favorites like country fried steak and gravy, and zesty New Mexican classics like Chile Rellenos and Huevos Rancheros. Most of all, though, it's the genial, welcoming staff: no matter how busy they get, you'll never feel rushed. Stopping in at The Range always feels a little like coming home; the colorful ambience never fails to cheer. This visit, my wife and I started out with Rey's Nachos, a giant, confetti-colored mesa constructed of black beans, tender shredded chicken, crumbled white cheddar cheese and Mexican cojita, with chile con queso, freshly chopped guacamole and pico de gallo, fresh lettuce, chopped tomato, and blue & white corn chips, the whole thing laced with a lightly seasoned smoked chile crema. The best nachos in the universe. For supper she ordered the Country Fried Steak, a Route 66 classic consisting of a succulent breaded fried cutlet smothered in savory cream gravy, served with homemade mashed potatoes (with soft, buttery chunks of potato, which is how you know it's homemade), accompanied by a delicious side dish of yellow squash sautéed with fresh corn and onions. Her only complaint was that there was too much food. I had The Range's signature Plato Combinación del Rancho, which consisted of a blue corn chile relleno, two rolled lean beef blue corn enchiladas, one chicken taco dressed with smoked chile crema; savory pinto beans, twin moats of red and green chile ("Christmas"), the whole thing topped with melted white cheddar, and accompanied by a mouth-watering mound of arroz verde ("green rice"), an aromatic side dish consisting of basmati rice cooked with parsley, cilantro, spinach flakes, olive oil, garlic and scallions. I'll never eat plain rice again. My only complaint is that I couldn't possibly eat all that food. But that's a good problem to have. Two sets of entushiastic thumbs up!”

“We frequent Scojo's anytime we are looking for a meaningful procurements. This is always one of our first stops for local unique gift for family and friends. Whether it be for a birthday, housewarming, holiday, baby shower or just because, you are certain to find something! Recently, my husband and I found some early Christmas presents and are planning to head back in a couple weeks as new treasures arrive. The beauty of this shop is that they focus on local artists and try to find items you truly cannot get anywhere else. I would encourage you to stop by and see what wonders you might find! Tip: They have amazing holiday gifts that usually start arriving in October.”

“Cool collection of folk art from Africa and South America. They were having a sale when we went and I found two cool Milagro crosses to add to my collection. The merchandise was thoughtful and eclectic, the prices were reasonable and the service was prompt and polite. No complaints here! We'll be back.”

“This carefully curated shop is next to the Farm and Table restaurant. While waiting for our table to be ready, we walked in.
