Hi, Aaliyah here. We are based in Albuquerque, but Rio Rancho is part of our route, and I love that. If you're searching for jerky in Rio Rancho, here's how to get your hands on ours.
Where we show up
Our family sets up at pop ups, festivals and ball games around Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. We're out there all season, and softball games have become a real home away from home for us. If you've ever walked past a table with a bunch of jerky bags, a friendly crew and sample trays, there's a decent chance that was us.
We can't promise a spot at every game, and schedules change. The best way to know where we're posting up next is the dealer locator on our home page. You can also sign up there for dealer alerts, which tell you about pop ups, games and festivals as they come. If you want to ask about a specific Rio Rancho stop, text us at 505-922-5683 or 505-364-0678 and we'll point you in the right direction.
Ball games and jerky go together
Honestly, jerky might be the perfect ball game snack. It's easy to carry, it doesn't need a cooler and it's something you can share down the bleacher. Here's what I'd put in a game day bag:
- Honey Teriyaki for the kids and the grandmas. Sweet, sticky and savory, with no heat.
- Lemon Pepper for the classic crowd. Bright lemon and cracked black pepper.
- Hot Cheetos for the one person in your group who loves red fingers.
- Takis for chile lime lovers. Sour, spicy and gone way too fast.
- Garlic Parm for anyone who wants big flavor with no burn.
A small bag is $7 and a large bag is $20, so it's easy to split a few flavors for the whole team or the whole family.
No game today? Door drop off
Not everyone has time to catch us at a booth, and that's okay. You can order from home and have it come to you. Here's how it works:
- Pick your flavors from the menu and add them to your cart, or tell us what you want through the contact form.
- Add your delivery address and any drop-off notes, like where to leave it and when.
- Our crew texts you to confirm and take payment. We accept Cash App, Venmo, Apple Pay and cash.
- The dealer drops your order at your door and sends you a photo once it's delivered.
That photo is one of my favorite parts. You never have to wonder whether your jerky showed up. It's right there on your doorstep, and you can go get it when you're ready.
If you aren't sure your address is in range, just text and ask. We would rather answer a quick question than have you guess.
Which flavors do Rio Rancho folks ask for?
I don't have a neighborhood by neighborhood breakdown, and I won't pretend to. What I can tell you is what our top sellers are overall, because those travel well across the metro:
- X-Hot Green
- Hot Cheetos
- Garlic Parm
- Takis
- Honey Teriyaki
- Mango Habanero
- Hot Cheeto Pickle
- Lemon Pepper
If you like chile, start with our green chile lineup. Our Green is classic New Mexico green chile carne seca, and X-Hot Green is the one to try if you really like heat. If you want to dig into the chile side of things, check out our post on New Mexico jerky and green chile carne seca.
What is small batch, anyway?
It means a family cuts, seasons and dries the beef in small amounts, then bags it up and brings it to you. The same crew you see at the table is the crew that makes it. Our carne seca starts with thin cut beef, gets a heavy hand with the seasoning and then dries long and slow. That's the whole secret. No big factory, just my family and a lot of love.
Planning a team order or party?
Jerky is an easy team snack or party favor, and our regular ordering works great for that. Order a mix of small and large bags, put the details in the notes and we'll text you to sort it out. If you'd like to book us for an event, send a note through the contact form.
Next stop
This Saturday, October 31, 2026, we'll be at New Mexico Jerky Fest, Halloween Edition at Isleta Resort & Casino in Albuquerque. It's not far from Rio Rancho if you're up for a drive, and it's a good chance to try samples and see the booth that took home Best Booth. We also won Most Exotic Flavor there, so you can taste what the judges liked.
If you're new here, start with our guide to where to buy jerky in Albuquerque, and if you want to know the people behind the table, meet the Jerky Fixx family.
Thank you, Rio Rancho, for letting us bring a little chile into your day.
