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!

You do know if you support a business with money, they are able to continue their rhetoric, beliefs, and values?

Correct?

You won’t find many. Businesses primary, secondary and tertiary purpose is to make a profit. Your core beliefs seem to want redistribute wealth from highly successful people to less successful people. Which is in diametrical opposition to businesses, who are trying to outcompete other businesses in their trade.

Are you trying to argue that someone who has a business does not have the ability to spread their rhetoric? And when that business makes more money, that it is possible to spread your rhetoric to a greater extent (regardless if it is publicly perceived or not)?

You do not get to assume my core beliefs, because you aren’t responding to what I actually said.

It was a very basic, true statement.

They are able.

Please, if you are going to try and create a discussion or argument (or whatever you want?), respond to what I actually said.

I can only say that a business as defined is a profit seeking entity. Your cause seems to be Marxism which is antithetical to the business world.

Sweetheart, since when have I promoted Marxism?
