Whataburger Locations in New Mexico

About Whataburger in New Mexico

New Mexico concentrates 19 restaurants into only 8 cities, which is the tightest clustering of any state outside Arizona. Albuquerque alone carries 9, nearly half the state total, with Las Cruces at 3 and Rio Rancho at 2. Clovis, Farmington, Roswell, Santa Fe and Taos each have one.

The chain arrived here through its West Texas expansion, and the geography makes sense: Las Cruces and Clovis both sit close to the Texas line, and the coverage builds westward and northward from there. Between the major cities, distances in New Mexico are long enough that a 24 hour location on a highway is genuinely useful rather than just convenient.

New Mexico is the one state where a Whataburger seasonal item is arguably a local product. Hatch green chiles come from Hatch, New Mexico, roughly forty miles north of Las Cruces, so when the Green Chile Double and Hatch Green Chile Bacon Burger run, they are built on a chile grown a short drive from several of these restaurants.

Dining at Whataburger in New Mexico

Green chile season is the event on the New Mexico Whataburger calendar. The Hatch harvest runs late summer into early autumn, and that is when the green chile items appear across the chain. In this state in particular, they are ordered as a local dish rather than as a limited time promotion.

Most locations run 24 hours with breakfast from 11 PM to 11 AM. The app handles curbside and rewards, and DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub cover Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe and Las Cruces well. Highway locations serve long distance travelers on I-25 and I-40 around the clock.
