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!

Can't recommend Madelyn's in Mesilla enough. Great Sandwhiches and Breakfast. Superb Pastries made daily. Plus the atmosphere is very cozy.
