Tijeras, New Mexico Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Dishwashing Trailers
Tijeras sits at about 6,382 feet where Tijeras Canyon meets Cedro Canyon, a natural corridor between the Great Plains and the Rio Grande valley for centuries. I-40 at Exit 175, former Route 66 and NM 14 all pass through, so travelers, highway crews and nearby facilities drive most of the food-service demand.
We rent mobile kitchen trailers, dishwashing trailers, and emergency refrigeration trailers as short-term rentals or long-term leases. Call any hour or request availability and a quote for your Tijeras site.

What the conditions mean for a rental in Tijeras
January lows near 21°F
Tijeras sees January lows near 21°F, cold enough to threaten exposed water lines. We confirm insulated connections and a freeze plan when we quote a winter term.
July highs near 88°F
Warm summers, with highs near 88°F, push refrigeration harder and make a hot cooking line uncomfortable. We plan ventilation and ask where the trailer can sit in shade.
Close to our Santa Fe warehouse
Tijeras is only about 50 miles in a straight line from our Santa Fe warehouse, one of the shorter deliveries we make. We still confirm the route, access, and your delivery window at quote.
Where a mobile kitchen helps in Tijeras
Fire closes the interstate
A brush fire in October 2019 cut I-40 to one lane at Tijeras, and the Sixty-Six Fire in June 2022 closed the westbound exit at mile marker 175. An agency or contractor setting up an incident base or feeding responders could use a mobile kitchen close to the canyon.
Old Route 66 visitors
Tijeras drew national attention in 2014 for a stretch of former Route 66 with rumble strips that play a tune at 45 mph. A restaurant or event organizer planning a roadside gathering or heritage weekend along that corridor could add a mobile kitchen for the extra volume.
Canyon corridor work crews
The canyon carries I-40 and NM 14 through a narrow gap in the mountains. Contractors on highway, utility or fire-mitigation work along that corridor can use kitchen trailers with shower and sleeper units when daily commutes to a motel or restaurant are impractical.

- Event catering along old Route 66
- Highway project crew showers and sleeper units
Delivery from our Santa Fe warehouse to Tijeras
We keep equipment in Santa Fe, the New Mexico capital, and plan every delivery from there. Tijeras is about 50 miles from the warehouse as the crow flies; the actual road route, timing, and any permits are confirmed when we quote.
Getting a trailer to Tijeras
NM 14 leads south from Santa Fe toward Tijeras and connects with I-40 at Exit 175. Tijeras Canyon is a mountain corridor where fires or weather can close the interstate, so check NMDOT conditions and closures before dispatch.
If your project spans more than one site, Edgewood, about 9 miles from Tijeras, and Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, about 16 miles, can be planned on the same delivery, as can Corrales at 18 miles.
Open 24/7
Emergency deployment, any hour
Wildfire has disrupted I-40 at the Tijeras exit, including the June 2022 Sixty-Six Fire that closed the westbound lanes at mile marker 175. When a fire or closure disrupts a kitchen or cooler, 24/7 emergency deployment can provide temporary capacity.

How a rental works
Rentals run by the month, with short-term and long-term options. Delivery, setup, and pickup are coordinated for your site. An inquiry does not reserve equipment; a person confirms availability, delivery time, and terms with you. Hours: open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup usually takes about five hours for kitchens and dishwashing trailers and about one hour for refrigeration units, and an inquiry is the first step, not a reservation.

Frequently asked questions
Which health office permits a kitchen trailer in Tijeras?
Bernalillo County is handled differently from the rest of New Mexico for some food permits. Confirm with the New Mexico Environment Department and the local city-county environmental health office which of them covers your location and event before you operate.
Is winter weather a factor at 6,400 feet in Tijeras?
Tijeras sits at about 6,382 feet, higher than the valley it overlooks, so snow and ice are possible in winter. Check NMDOT road conditions for I-40 and NM 14 before scheduling a delivery, and ask about cold-weather setup.
How fast can a trailer get to Tijeras if our kitchen is down?
Call (888) 385-5513 at any hour and we begin planning on that call. Trailers leave from our Santa Fe warehouse, and the delivery time to Tijeras depends on the equipment and the road, which we confirm in your quote.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
Not by itself. We reply with availability, timing, and terms first, and equipment is reserved only after you agree to them.
