Continental Flavors - with a NM Twist
NM Flavors
Red, Green, Christmas? Las Cruces area knows how to do it right. Here are a few favorites!
Taco Thursday - best authentic tacos around and at a $1.50 a taco you can’t beat the price either. Their margaritas are cold - which is perfect to cool down the hot sauce you are dipping your chips in. Honestly everything on their menu is fantas...
Chopes
The Green Chile Hamburgers and Queso fries are simply the best in this very casual and quirky place. Validate operating hours and try for “in between business times or mid week to avoid a line. Can you say YUM?!
Sparkys BBQ and Espresso
Yes this is a fast food chain local to NM - BUT if you are looking for something quick - skip the big name fast foods and trip the original green chile cheeseburger. You cannot go wrong. No drive through here - and it is good fast food if you are w...
Blake's Lotaburger - The Original Green Chile Cheese Burger
This place has the one of the BEST breakfast burrito- The Breakfast Dream. Red or Green on the side if you please as it can be spicy. Their other burritos and dishes are fine but the breakfast dream is a favorite if I’m out and about.

How about donuts and burritos? The breakfast burritos here are fantastic and large! but go early as they are always busy. Their donuts are heavenly.
Bosa Donuts
Wonderful little place in the edge of Las Cruces & Mesilla. Outdoor seating area that is dog friendly. Appetizers and unique cocktails are in the menu currently. A new menu will be posted soon. Their grand reopening is May 2nd and they are...

This is a Mesilla staple since 1939. Fun, traditional environment in the old Butterfield Stage Stop and Corn Exchange Hotel. Mexican and New Mexican food on the menu.
La Posta de Mesilla
1/2 (+\-) between Hatch and Las Cruces is the Blue Moon Bar & Grill. Yes it’s a dive bar that’s been around since the 1920’s. Typical bar food with a few additions: open faced tacos, flautas, and more. Again ask for chile on the side if you a...

This is the perfect treat on a hot summers day - the fruit ice is like a slushy but SO MUCH BETTER. I’m not sure I can adequately describe it. But I know I like it for a sweet treat that is cold. My favorite is Berry Berry. Though I know others wh...

Continental Flavors - with a NM Twist
A bit out of the way, 45mins from Las Cruces, but well worth the drive. Fantastic menu - try the French onion soup and can’t say enough about the French dip. Large portions … smallish museum attached. Unassuming building…
Adobe Deli
The Thai food here rivals that of what I have found in my travels around the world. It’s small, it’s quirky, but authentic all the way. The Tom Gah Kai is excellent!
Renoo's Thai Time
The food here is “magnifique!” Varied menu, from NM twist to more refined home style. And fantastic appetizer menu. Of course they are a winery so pair with your favorite wine. The Potatickers, Green Chile Chicken Pasta and Spicy Beef are proba...
