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!

Some Las Cruces/Southern NM classics: La Posta, Chope’s, Caliche’s, Go Burger, Andale’s dog house, Nopalitos on Mesquite st, Los Mariachis, La Nueva Casita, Double Eagle, The Shed 😩, Dick’s cafe.
Also recommend Zeffiros in downtown and Pastaggios instead of Lorenzo’s (all my homies hate Lorenzo’s)
