“Excellent casually elegant winery and bistro in the Las Cruces/Mesilla area.Top notch service and delicious food at super reasonable prices. Most entrees on the menu are under $20 and generously portioned. And who knew New Mexico had tasty wine!We had the pot roast with carrots and Yukon mashed ($18) And the spicy Mongolian beef ($18)The pot roast was super tender and flavorful and the Mongolian beef seasoned and cooked perfectly with just the right amount of heat.Add in a glass of the sangio-cab and the whole meal was a very affordable $41 plus a 25% tip.The outside dining area offers a pleasant dining experience.A real gem if you're in the Las Cruces area.It's ideal for any kind of gathering. Dressed up and date night, business casual, family gathering or friends in jeans and a hoodie.“

Both dishes were pretty unique actually, and the cafe itself is very unique but a slight "hole in the wall". I'd definitely go back again! my hats off to the chef!“

Also included with the salad bar is soup, the day I went they had creamy broccoli and pasole both were very good. They even had desserts like pudding, ambrosia, and jello. There was also a selection of cold pasta salads and potato salad. All that for about 15 dollars, it was fantastic. You can also order chicken to have with your salad for an additional charge as the salad bar didn't have any proteins.Vegetarian options: They have a huge selection in their salad bar all meat free.“

“I dined here recently at a friend's invitation. I always enjoy the atmosphere at this restaurant. The service was attentive, as usual. I had the Black and Bleu salad which I thought was delicious and filling. My friend thought the chicken breasts were a bit tough. They were, but that seems to have been the case everywhere I've had them when eating away from home lately. It's possible it may be due to some state cooking temperature regulation. I really don't know. In any case, it wasn't enough to extract from my enjoyment of the lunch.“

“Not enough TV's or big enough size. Ud think with the prices they charge for drinks and food they'd put bigger tv's and hire more than one Bartender. The busiest day on championship Sunday they have "one" Bartender to serve a couple hundred people with not even a bar back or any help for an entire shift. She did a great job. We had to wait awhile for drinks n food but nothing she can do about it. She was washing the glasses so fast I highly doubt any of the glasses were even slightly clean or safe enough to drink out of, again not her fault she had no help. All tho I did speak to the manager about the short comings of Farleys. They charge an arm and leg for their food and drinks and don't hire enough employees or have the big enough TV's. Shame losing their customers to Babbas and what's worse to appla bees where the same drink is $3.50 for a double shot of fireball and at Farleys single shot is $8.50. pizza is good but cheapest one is $11.00 for 10 inch and very thin. Find this place is more about being greedy and making the most money off of their customers than giving the customers what their paying for and than some!!“

I actually lost my wallet there and although I do not live in Las Cruces, everytime I called to see if it had been turned in, the staff went out of their way to try to find my wallet. Including Noah, who went down and looked in golf carts as well is in lost and found. Still no wallet but I can say that the staff working here are exceptional going above and beyond to help me out.

“Absolutely love this restaurant! Most recently I had the Asiago chacon chicken entree and garden bar, it was so good. The chicken was juicy, baked potato and zucchini were on point. My partner ordered 12oz Ribeye and baked potato, med-well and was cooked perfectly. Mozzarella stick appetizer was the best we have had from any restaurant. Everything I have tried here is so tasty. The food is great, big portions, speedy service, super clean and the staff is really friendly. I feel like I am treated like family or a close friend each time I dine in here. The teamwork at this restaurant is amazing, unlike anything I’ve ever seen at any other restaurant. Definitely recommend Ruby Tuesdays of Las Cruces.Dietary restrictions: They have an awesome allergen menu online where you can select your allergy and see what all is available for you.“
