The New Mexico Restaurant Association (NMRA) is a regional trade organization that represents the state’s foodservice sector, with its base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Founded in 1946, it remains the only state-level group dedicated to promoting and protecting the interests of restaurateurs and the broader foodservice industry. It counts more than 1,000 member restaurants and maintains dual membership with the National Restaurant Association, linking local advocacy to national resources.

NMRA emphasizes advocacy, education, information, and services to support the industry and its community, aiming to uphold safety, service standards, and customer satisfaction among its members. Its membership framework is open to firms actively involved in foodservice as well as suppliers to restaurateurs, reflecting a broad ecosystem. In 2026, the organization announced that long-time chief executive Carol Wight will retire at year-end, signaling a leadership transition while continuing the association’s ongoing programs, including events such as the ProStart Invitational and diversity-focused initiatives.
