50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Las Cruces

“Had breakfast and was really good.“

“Wow! What an amazing food experience! Everything was absolutely delicious, very generous portions and reasonable price. My wife and I stay at the hotel Encanto when we come to Las Cruces, and just discovered this restaurant right around the corner. Everyone is so nice. You will love the food! Amd the restaurant is clean, beautifully decorated, also.
P.S. Maybe not the nicest topic, but in New Mexico I have encountered restaurants that have filthy restrooms, which is a red flag. This restaurant had absolutely spotless restrooms. I could see they take great pride in every aspect of their service to their customers.“

“Great Food 😋💯 Wonderful environment.“

“Very Disappointed – While the food was decent, the experience was ruined by overhearing staff refer to me as “it” and then say, “oh my god, it’s a grandma.” Extremely unprofessional and disrespectful each time we go. Management either participates or is oblivious.“

“Amazing food. A must try spot! The enchiladas, tacos, pooled, chips, salsa, and breakfast are amazing!“

“Possibly one of the best chile rellenos I’ve ever had. The monster margarita was $13 and well worth it however, when I originally asked her how much it was, she quoted me $10. Great service and I had an awesome server. I thought the refried beans had an odd texture to it though. I was sitting in the bar area. I’ve never heard of a restaurant charging you $1 for a side of flour tortillas The dining area lights were a little harsh. Also, if you pay with a credit card you get charged a little bit more. I know I’m splitting hairs here. I would give it an 8.5.“

“Our most favorite. Always fresh, hot & delicious.“

“First visit to Las Cruces, and this place showed up highly recommend for brunch. Sunday around 11am and it was very busy. Parking is tight but I found a a spot, no wait for a table for 2. I got the bottomless coffee and Eggs Benedict, one with green chili sauce and one red, and with brisket. Meal was exceptional. Service was decent given how busy they were, but more than once we had to flag down our server. I will stop in again next time I'm out this way.“

“We stopped at Los Mariachis as we were hungry and it was rated a 4! Not sure why it wasn’t a five!🤷🏼 It’s truly a five star restaurant!!!The service was fast. Yvonne was a great waitress and we were a group of 14! She didn’t write down our selections and brought us everything we asked for! No mistakes! She a pro so ask for her! The food was hot and generous and authentic. Don’t pass this place up! Quaint and so good! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“All their food is fresh no can junk all fresh stuff they're tortillas are freshly made they're corn tortillas and their tortilla chips all made fresh in the factory and restaurant there. If you like fresh Mexican food made homemade with all natural ingredients good serving sizes this is the place to go. If you like Burger times rolled tacos you have to go here they make them just like them actually a little bit better they're excellent and like I said so is everything else you must try it“

“This business is ran by an older couple that cook everything themselves. Authentic mexican food. Amazing service since food comes out pretty fast. Prices are some of the lowest i have seen in las cruces. 1000% recommend this restaurant. I feel right at home.“

“Don't miss out!!! Best Mexican food you'll ever find!“

“The food was exemplary. I think they need more staff. Overall, I'll come back again!“

“What an absolute hidden gem this is! Perfectly cooked food, generous portions, Super sweet service, and the prices Are beyond reasonable, like before inflation became a thing reasonable. (eggs, sausages, hashbrowns, beans, tortilla, chips and salsa. For under 10 bucks.)

Would give six stars if I could.“

“Great portions for the price! Food tasted amazing as well.“

“Love there food very good value :)“

“We were in town from 100 miles away for a dr appt. One of the techs at the facility highly recommended this place…His sister owns it! Everything he said about it is true. Food is great, people kind and accommodating, atmosphere is upbeat and comfortable. The portions were l large which provided lunch for us the next day! The only negative point I would make is that the bathroom door needs work. Great experience overall. Will recommend and return.“

“My partner and I ordered strawberry & blueberry pancakes, chorizo con papas skillet, and the brisket skillet. Food was good! Just wish the bell peppers were diced rather than huge slices. The bread is something I’ve never eaten before and it was okay. Something I personally wouldn’t choose to eat again. Service was awesome! Our server lady was great but I could tell she was overwhelmed when it came to checking out, instead of asking us to hand over the receipt, she decided to point at it and mumble (we still have no idea what the heck she was saying or asking for) and we couldn’t hear her so she grabs it from my partners hand. Very rude, it honestly threw me off since she was sweet and great until the end, it seemed to just go downhill from there. I suggest instead of GRABBING the receipt from SOMEONES hand, you should speak up a bit. My partner is hard of hearing and that honestly hurt to witness that. Other than that, couldn’t let a waitress take away from the fact that the food was delicious.“

“This local restaurant is absolutely great. We just left and we are stuffed. The food is delicious and our friendly server Rylee was the best. We’re just passing through on our way to Arizona, but when the opportunity presents itself to come back through Las Cruces, we’re coming back to Chilitos for dinner.“

“Delicious asada torta and great service 👌“

“Awesome food great service and good prices!!!“

“WOW Las Cruces, this place is AWESOME! We came for lunch and sat on enclosed patio, so cozy. The chips amd salsa are amazing, fresh and love the corn tortillas. We had a chicken fajita quesadilla and flautas, great flavors and good quality ingredients. Our server was helpful and kept our drinks and chips full which is rare, thank you. Love the vibe, tasty food, definitely coming back soon.“

“Super recomendado, todo delicioso, buen trato y bien sabor“

“What an amazing home style diner,the best in town.they could bottle the green salsa I'd take some home! I went inside to order,they make it for you, fresh all kinds of great food!older original building cool! Go to eat food,not to look at decor!“

“Comida muy rica, excelente atención, buenos precios y bien servido. 100% recomendado.“

“Quite possibly the best enchiladas in town. Will definitely come back for them, the red sauce was the smokiest, most flavorful I’ve had in all my travels. Strongly suggest seating in the main dining area, and not the patio, unless you don’t mind the loud thumping bass from the car audio place across the street.“

“No loud proofing so it is very loud. Could hardly hear the person next to me at the table plus couldn't hear the wait staff person across the table. Contruction makes it difficultto get in & out. There's always room for improvement!“

“The salsa is very watery and tastes more of tomatoes than any kind of spice, but if you eat enough of it the spice does build. We had the shredded beef torta and a combo plate with the steak, chile relleno, and enchilada. The torta was amazing. The grilled onions on it really boosted the flavor profile. The fries were hot and crisp but nothing special. The steak was chewy but seasoned well. The chile relleno was soggy and lacked anything of note. The enchiladas was cheese and though basic, really hit the spot. Beans and rice were standard fare, but is exactly how you want it to taste. The guacamole it came with had cilantro, onion and tomato in it and was very enjoyable after salting to my taste. All in all, the food is not outstanding but is good overall. The atmosphere is basic, but inviting if a bit dated, but the service is where this place truly shines. One waitress and she handled every customer quickly and efficiently while being friendly but not overbearing. She would check on you without making it feel like you were being rushed or a bother. I am definitely coming back here for the service alone.
I’m looking forward to trying out the menudo a close by table was praising quite loudly and maybe some of their seafood dishes as well.“

“Alright, so I finally got around to trying Catrina’s Tacos and Grill and im glad I did!!!!!
I went with the carne asada burrito and not gonna lie, this thing was delicious! The meat had real flavor, everything tasted fresh, the taste was super flavorful — every bite actually hit.
I even added a couple custom requests and they still came through, which I respect. Guacamole was was added since the delicious beans had ran out 🤤 and it was heaven! 🔥
I ended up finishing the whole thing without even thinking about it… so freakin' good🤤 that should tell you enough right there 😂
Friendly staff, they care about what they do and it shows!
