New Mexico alcohol sale hours

New Mexico law allows sales as late as 2 a.m., but a city or county may require earlier closing.

These are state limits, not local ones

New Mexico lets each county set hours inside the state window. The times below are the outer bound, so where you are buying the hours may be shorter, and they will not be longer.
