Ate here in December. Had stayed at Hotel Encanto but never tried their in house restaurant. It’s just lovely. Shannon was our server. She knew that menu completely; she could tell us every little detail. My husband had the branzino. He did not want it blackened and Shannon made sure it wasn’t. The risotto was the perfect texture. The chicken was tender and moist. It was an excellent meal in a beautiful room. I’m sorry this review is so late. Mezcla was a wonderful experience.

Great service from staff and the menu was creative...and the food delicious. Nice cocktails too!

Excellent lamb rack! The chopped salad was not your typical one. We prefer the other, but still palatable. We will be back!

Shannon our server was very attentive. The filets were made to perfection, the sea bass was made with a delicious sauce and the steak tacos were filled with a lot of steak. Everything was delicious. It's nice to go to a restaurant with tablecloths, servers who know how to serve and having a nice ambience.

We're loyal to both restaurants during our twice yearly stays, but the dinner menu needs to change regularly. Especially since it's limited.

We arrived at 6:30... food didn't come till 7:45. One entree was wrong...sent it back... the correct entree came, risotto wasn't cooked . I changed my order, the filet was very tender, sauce to salty. The onions were not tender. I can't recommend the restaurant especially since there weren't many people eating dinner there.

No one greeted us when we arrived even though we had reservations. The dining room was empty so we asked the bartender for help and was told to sit where we wanted. Our server showed up a few minutes later. She was very polite but appeared not to be knowledgeable about the cocktails or the menu. Every question we had she would have to run and ask someone. We felt like the normal staff didn't come to work so she was filling in. We ordered cocktails but they were missing 3 out of five ingredients for my cocktail so I just settled for a glass of Prosecco. We ordered a wedge salad, rack of lamb medium done and cake for dessert. The salad was tiny compared to what we usually get. The rack of lamb only had 4 pieces and was served with spinach. Later our server gave us our grilled carrots apologized she served our plate before it was ready which probably explains why the lamb was rare/raw. We never had a rack of lamb with only four usually a rack is 8 pieces/ lollipops. Our server had no explanation but smiled and said we split the plates for you. I can't remember what the cake was but it was so hard and dry. Our server said that was the way it was supposed to taste or something like that is the usual texture. My husband and I were shocked. The bill came to $97 even though we shared all the plates. This was the worst experience we've ever had but the food was tasty except for the cake. I think the portions could have been more.

Great food, excellently prepared. We live in Las Cruces and love having a fine dining option near downtown!

We had lovely experience at Mezcla. The reservation was smooth, ambience was pleasant and food was great, overall they handled the birthday setup very well!

The restaurant is located in a very nice hotel called the Encanto with spectacular views from the upper floors in all directions. In the restaurant there is both an inside and an outside area with the outside area covered and partially enclosed. The inside a spacious and the tables are well separated. It has a very nice bar that you can sit at. The service was outstanding and the food was just as good. My friend and I both enjoyed our meals very much. We will go back. I encourage you to consider this Restaurant the next time you are in Las Cruces or looking for a restaurant in town.
Shannon, Desi, the male bartender and Skye were fantastic and so attentive. Food was great, especially the burrata salad and filet. Awesome spring drink menu. We live in Cruces, so we'll definitely be back.

Nice small place but the velvet sofas were dirty with white hard stains. lettuce in salad had seen better days, Fish was good . presentation was nice. Service was good, not many nice restaraunts here so will try it again.
ANDREAS
Exceptional service and great drinks and food. Loved the house developed cocktails, specifically the blue margarita.
Larry
Service was slow, the kitchen was "slammed" we were told. The weren't prepared for NYE!? It's not that big of a place. Seating by the windows most uncomfortable we've had, Couch seating was awful. Won't be returning here.
