The best red chile, good combo plates.

We just left Napolito’s after not being served our meal 50-60 minutes after giving our order. Every table that came in after us was served. Our waitress never updated us about the delay. A different waitress checked with the cook and told us our plates were being prepared. 10 minutes later, we got up and left after no meals appeared. This is a zero star rating.

Drove in from out of State for the weekend. This was the first place we ate at. We were looking for authentic New Mexico cuisine and we found it here. The red chilie sauce has the depth of flavor one can only get from New Mexico. A must try. Prices are great too especially for the portion sizes.

We eat here frequently, but lately the food hasn't been as good as it was. Hopefully it will improve because it used to be our favorite for Mexican food. The service staff is always excellent.

I came to Las Cruces for the first time to see my mom and stepdad. My stepdad and I had an amazing meal. Two #3s Christmas style. Best food I’ve had in a long time. Ernest was friendly and it was nice to find out some of the history. Thanks!

Nopalito Restaurant has been part of the Las Cruces eating scene for over 60 years. I use to dine here back when I was a student attending New Mexico State. For me it served as a bridge of years past and though it has since added a few modern amenities like large flat screen and a proper hostess station it is basically the same place as I remembered.

The service was great and the waitress was very attentive.The food though, in my opinion, is not the best of the best, the Nopalito Restaurant serves better quality food than a lot of the new restaurants I have tried in the area and at a fair price. The red chile was good and the taco was top in the combo dish I tried. The meal precursor was a copious amount of wonderful crunchy homemade corn chips with a bowl of really savory salsa verde that was indeed made fresh.

The Nopalito Restaurant offers a genuine taste of southern New Mexico cuisine in Las Cruces and is worth a visit for those seeking authentic flavors.

Good Mexican food in older historic building. Green chile salsa is excellent, as are chips. Enjoyed delicious chili relleno.
