One of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. The chile con carne verde was so much lighter than Sonoran style, with rich pieces of chile. The relleno was awesome, but need to order with sauce. Even just the salsa that comes with the chips was incredible. Great flavor and a zinger of heat on the end. I will. It forget you, Chope. Great service. Great atmosphere

I ordered the chile Colorado, it tasted good. I paid for it later. I had food poisoning, not a Plesant experience. It lasted until 3:30 in the morning. Don’t know if it was the meat or the lard. That is the only thing I had to eat. It is a cool place to sit at the bar and have a drink.

Chope’s Bar & Cafe is a must-stop if you’re anywhere near La Mesa. The food is classic New Mexican comfort food done right — hearty portions, bold flavors, and everything comes out hot and fresh. The chile is rich and flavorful without being overpowering, and the plates are generously loaded.
The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, with that old-school charm that makes the place feel authentic rather than touristy. Service was friendly and efficient, and you can tell this is a local favorite for a reason.
Whether you’re grabbing a meal or stopping by for a drink, Chope’s delivers great food, solid cocktails, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely worth the drive — I’ll be back

Love the bar been going for years. However if you sit at a table for drinks not food don't expect the servers to come help and dora particularly hates being called by customers for service. Hopefully we get the other servers next time.

It's a typical bar atmosphere, a little loud, the servers are nice and usually pretty quick. Some of the menu items are pretty good, the rellenos are yummy with good flavor and a good amount of breading, The enchiladas and tacos are tasty. The rest of the food is just decent.

I've lived here my whole life and somehow had never heard of this place. I wish I had discovered this place sooner and I will definitely be back. The history is amazing and they love to tell their story. You can tell that the place used to be someone's house. Its so unique and cute, but most of all tasty!!! Everything our table got was delicious! And our server was super friendly.

Great service, tight seating area (but it used to be a house, so it makes sense), and good food. Great place to go with friends and family.
Love the adobe construction and the food is great.

Chope’s is one the most authentic Mexican food restaurants near Mesilla (or anywhere, really). Great flavor without the heat (on some dishes) and super cheap beer. I’ll be returning an often as I can.

This place is soooooo good. We've been here many a times. And all their food is scrumdidilyumptious. Today we came for their $1.50 tacos on Taco Thursday. They were amazing. I had 2 red, 2 green, 2 chicken, and 1 beef. And let me tell you, finger lickin' good. Its definitely worth the drive to visit this wonderful and historic place.

I've been coming here for the past several years on my birthday. Will be there this Friday, LORD willing! Can't decide if I want the Christmas enchilada plate, or, the green chile chicken enchilada plate, that I always get. I love the food. Never had a bad experience. Can't wait!!
