“We stopped in for lunch and had a wonderful meal. You can eat inside or outside. The dinning room is small but that adds to the charm of the place. I had the Mexican Mollete which I have never had before. It was delicious. My wife had the Pozole which was excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely go here again when we are in town.“
“Great , I mean REALLY GREAT thoughtful original dishes prepared to perfection.Vegetarian options: I don't remember all the names but there are at least 4 great entrees plus pancakes so it is pretty comprehensive. The fruit that comes with the spinach keish is plentiful and fresh! This place is a winner for vegetarians and those that aren't. I will become a regular at this place.Parking: At peak times it can be harder to find a spot in the lot , but just park legally on the side street on the south side of the parking lot . Pro Tip: You may have to go a bit down that street to find parking.“
“Good tomalies and other Mexican style food. Small front counter and drive thru. Not a sit down restaurant. Best tomalies I have found on USA side of border not made in friend's home by their mother and grandmother etc. Not as good as those in Juárez but this saves the crossing time.“
“Great place , excellent food , but I wish they didn't use fabulouso.to clean because I can smell it. BTW Vinegar and water works just as well and is WAY CHEAPER. But really great food and nice people.Vegetarian options: Chile Rellanos, Chiles Quiles , Vegetarian Fajitas. There were some other things like guacamole and the chips and salsa are really good.“
“Great experience here! Dining room clean, comfortable and accommodating of little ones. Excellent food with vegan options. Great service. The lentil soup was awesome and a great touch. I highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Lentil soup, fajitas, enchiladasKid-friendliness: Plenty of boosters and high chairs and a great kid menu“
“So my husband was looking for good tacos, since he loves tacos! So he was browsing around checking out some good restaurants places to eat! He was going through some reviews looking around when he came around this restaurant! Close to where we are staying, so we decided to go check it out! To me you could be in the most ghetto place but if your cooking is awesomeness and good, well I don’t care! So we decided to go, never being there this is literally my first time being there! I love food and I enjoy eating it! If you don’t cook it right and doesn’t give me that vibe that it should as soon as it touches my tongue, then you’ll never see me again, but I’ll be giving you a one star review! So said that I really recommend this small nice restaurant full of delicious food and awesome people as services! It ain’t a fancy 5 star restaurant but to me is the best restaurant as Mexican authentic food you could ever have!! Good job! ????P.S there white cheese dip OMG Buenísimo mind blowing!! Next time I’ll be trying something different! I’ll be posting more pictures till next time ????“
“Great spot, awesome service and food. Fries are awesome. Just ordered about 15 minutes ago.(got a brisket torta) Home and enjoying my meal! Definitely recommend. Employee at window was great and genuinely happy to see us. 3 orders back to back. All great timing and quality.THANK YOU!!!Parking: Parking was just a tad tedious. But not a problem, especially since it is a food truck. Food makes up for the small walk over to the window!“
“This place was so cute. Loved that we were able to take our fur baby with no problem. We got a queso burger, hot dog, sopes and torta. The chicken for the sopes and torta was all white meat which was a plus. The queso burger was a little too spicy for my daughter and the hot dog was hands down best for my son.“
“This place is perfect, I have eaten here twice since moving to new Mexico and I was amazed by how fast my pick up order was ready when I got there, I live about five minutes away from this location and it is now my go to for dinner. The staff are very friendly.“
“It’s always a treat to eat at Si Senor. We like their complimentary chips with 4 salsas. We almost always come for the Friday Seafood soup and their flagship Amber beer, but in the process introduced to the Si Senor Brand Beer called Delirium. It’s has a hint of red wine flavor, but higher in alcohol content, that’s why they served it 9 ounces at a time. It is delicious and a must to try.“
“We were greated with a beautiful warm smile as we stepped into the restaurant and immediately brought to a table. The waitress immediately greated us again with a big smile and Tortilla chips and salsa, which were very good, asked us what we wanted to drink. We didn't have to wait long. The carne asada taco plate was one of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend it.“
“Best Mexican food that has a very different flair! Love their Shredded Beef Burrito…has interesting spice touch and their Huevos Rancheros and Salsa are exceptiona! Service is spectacular and friendly! A hidden GEM across from Lion’s Park on Picacho!“
“I love, love, love Miguel's Restaurant. Not only do they have artwork featuring the Archangel St. Michael on the wall, but they have great food and service. I am hooked on their street tacos for sure! And I love their tortilla soup, their brisket burritos (actually, anything with their wonderful brisket) and everything that I have ever ordered was good. They play either "Mexican music" or country-western and the place is very clean. I highly recommend Miguel's to my friends and eat there regularly.“
“Food was on point. The green chile was pretty hot, possibly could've used a little more salt, but The burrito my husband got had a stew meat in it that was incredible! 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!“
“Nopalito has been at the mesquite street location for almost 60 years, but that's not the original address--casual--located in a old church building--very attentive wait staff--got chips and 2 different salsas--I had a red enchilada, with onions and a egg, of course! GF had a relano and a gordita--both plates had beans and fluffy rice--everything was very good--don't know if they serve alcohol--we had water--“
“If you're ever in Las Cruces, NM, LUCY'S CAFE IS A MUST! Delicious food, GREAT SERVICE, and a cute, affordable small time diner atmosphere. We were passing thru from Round Rock, Tx to Mesa, AZ and found this gem on S Valley Dr close to the Walmart. Our waitress Carmen was sweet, friendly and attentive. Lucy the owner must hire folks just like herself! We'll definitely be back sooner than later!“
“WOW. Got this recommendation from a local and it exceeded all expectations. Had the pork chop special and it was the best one my husband and I have ever had (coming from farm folks who raise pigs). The Chalas tea is divine also, and the service was spectacular. Would definitely dine “
“Have lived in Las Cruces 7 months and finally made it to Tacos & Shell-ah’s. I see them on social media a lot with different specials. Made it tonight for $1.99 fish tacos on Taco Tuesday. 2 tacos each was plenty. Enjoyed 3 new to us hot sauces and we’ve tried a LOT of different sauces in our travels. They have an outdoor patio, but was too cold to enjoy.“
“@ Maria Ruiz I was in there that day and your brother is the one always in there asking for free food and since the boss said no to you guys this time you guys got mad and leave a bad review. You guys also stated you wanted to check your balance on the card when it didn’t go through for 9 dollars. He’s a man of business servicing his customers, running his restaurant, not a man of games giving free food over and over to you guys.“
“Small gem in town wonderful food. It might took them 1 hour to 1:30 to serve your food but is worth it. Gorditas, chimichanga , ground beef, caldo de res, green chili, chilaquiles, green queso,and are most the things that I have taste are delicious. I put five stars to service only because I think the staff is really kind it just matter that they making the food at order and takes them some time to prep.“
“LOVE this place! Tried several items off the menu & I’ve never been disappointed. Everything has good flavor. Even the salsa is perfection! They’re also consistent which i really appreciate. Not many places have good food every single time we go.“
“WOW ? ! ? ! You want GREAT authentic Mexican food?! This Mom and Pop establishment serves really, really good delicious homestyle food at VERY reasonable prices. I got one red and one green burrito to go. I saw what others were eating and should have tried those items ... and I should've added cheese to my burritos, not that they needed it, just the way I like it. Skip El Sombrero, skip Go Burger, skip So Senior, skip Napalitos, and head to WELCOME INN CAFE. You won't regret it!“
“We bought burritos and they were so good! Very filling, too! They don't skimp on the fillings and they make them fresh!Most customers bought to-go but we sat at one of the tables and enjoyed our burritos with salsa and cold drinks. Manzanita, Fanta & Sprite“
“This place is a hidden gem. The food here tastes like it was made with the best and freshest ingredients. The Chili Con Queso Steak from the breakfast menu was phenomenal. Perfect amount of food and very reasonably priced. Service was ok and the restaurant appeared very clean.“
“I love this place. You get exactly what you want from this place...good tasting food. Of course, the gorditas are fab, however, a couple of times the shell was overcooked but a touch, yet still tater. Love the tacos, simple and Delicious. Love the green chile, potatoes and meat combo. Green Chile was great. I'll be back“
“This restaurant was the perfect place to refuel after a long hike. The egg, potato, and cheese burrito (pictured) and veggie burrito were delicious and generous in size. The red and green house made sauces are very tasty. Definitely wash everything down with the horchata!“
“The food is very unique. I love the Aztec Shrimp - they are huge, wrapped in bacon on a bed of nopalitos, and smothered black mole. Also, the Cognac Steak and NY Strip served 3 Ways are excellent. Highly recommend!Parking: Plenty of parking in their parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: All ground floor access.“
“I eat at Cocina every time I am in town from ABQ. I wish there was one in ABQ. I can not find a decent potato taco up north. Everything I’ve tried at Cocina is pure class. Outstanding potato tacos! Salsa is the best in Las Cruces since My Brothers place closed. I would give 6 stars if it was an option.“
“The torta de carne asada is awesome! Rice can be a little spicy at times, especially for the kids. Lemonade agua fresca is so good!!! Love their Sopapillas with sugar and honey! Drive thru service is pretty good. Never had to wait a ridiculous amount of time. Food overall is great! Totally recommend it!!!!“
“I travel through the Las Cruces area for work every few months and always make sure I have time to stop here. Super friendly staff, quick service, and the food is incredible (and a good price!)! #8 rolled tacos with carne cheese and avocado is the best!!“
“if your looking for phenomenal Mexican food look no other than Fidencios I’ve been coming here for a long time and have always left satisfied and wanting more!!!!! You want great food at a great price Come to FidenciosKid-friendliness: FIdencios LOVES THE KIDS!!!!Parking: Plenty of Parking“
“I enjoy the old Mexican atmosphere there, I have never eaten there, but I see the plates and the prices are excellent. Everything is still the same, 25 years later. Why have I never eaten there? I cook a lot every day ?. Great place to bring your family and friends.“
“If I could give 6 stars I would! My first time going to Tacos JJ did not disappoint. I chose several items to include: Tacos Al Pastor, Carne Asada tacos, flauta plate, an the burger combo. The Limonada was extremely fresh an washed all the amazing food down amazingly. You have definitely earned a returning customer.“
“Best Tortas! The man making them is very kind. It is a little hidden and I think those are the best places to find the best food. It was sprinkling just a bit and its outdoors but there is a table to sit that is covered. I definitely would go back next time I drive through.“
“My son and I typically go through the drive thru for burritos before work/school and it’s always quick and delicious . The couple of times I’ve dined in, it has been delicious and their prices are affordable. The huevos rancheros with green chile are my fave! Friendly atmosphere and clean!“
