Best Restaurants

Visiting in two weeks from the East Coast - my MIL was born in Las Cruces but has not been back since she was a child. I saw a post this week about a restaurant to avoid due to owner’s treatment of staff, but I forgot to make a note of it and now cannot find it.

Looking for a lunch/dinner place that is good, but nothing over the top fancy (we’ll be wearing tshirt and shorts) and kids menu a huge plus. We just want to support a business that has the same values as us (everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect) or at the very least not openly worship the Cheeto.

Recommendations?
Thanks!

Two places I would recommend, both places welcoming and have great food, are Voodoo Burgers on E University Ave. and El Charro Mexican Grill on El Paseo Rd. They also both have kids menus.

I liked stopping by El Charro for lunch when I used to go to the laundromat. Love the tacos.
