About

About Juniper Steakhouse

Juniper Steakhouse is the flagship fine-dining destination at Santa Ana Star Casino Hotel in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, set against the sweeping high-desert landscape near Albuquerque. The restaurant takes its name from the rugged juniper trees that define the region's terrain, evoking a distinctly Southwestern sense of place while delivering classic steakhouse elegance.

The kitchen focuses on prime cuts of beef — from the silky 8-ounce filet mignon to the theatrical 32-ounce tomahawk bone-in ribeye — each cooked to the guest's specification and complemented by an array of housemade sides. Fresh seafood options such as crispy-skin king salmon and blackened mahi mahi round out a menu that balances land and sea. New Mexico spirit runs throughout: the green chile artichoke dip and green chile mac & cheese are nods to the state's legendary chile culture.

Juniper also features a handcrafted seasonal cocktail program and an extensive wine list chosen to pair with the steak-forward menu. Whether celebrating a milestone or simply enjoying a night out at the casino resort, Juniper Steakhouse offers an experience that stands apart from the surrounding gaming floor — an oasis of unhurried, attentive service and exceptional food.
