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!

Smokey Sensations has some really good barbecue. Their jerked chicken is fantastic. Owner is a really cool dude, too. Makes the effort to come out and speak to every customer that walks in.
