Read the reviews before we came but as a history buff I wanted to try this eatery anyway. Walking in my family and I were all enchanted. The atmosphere is truly inviting from giant aviaries to exotic fish tanks and vibrant music. We were all excited and hopeful that the bad reviews were wrong and we would be the exception.... More

We traveled almost 1000 miles through New Mexico and this was the best Mexican food of the trip. The atmosphere is fun and festive with lots of colorful decorations. Although the restaurant was full and busy, we were seated quickly. The service was quick and good. The food had the wonderful flavor that I think of when I think New... More

Check this out... The food was nothing to get excited about. We could have put together a better Mexican meal at home, for certain. My wife's cooking blows this place away. But, we had a gift card and thought we would give it a try. NOW... I'll have to admit that this gift card was expired, but we did not... More

We always stop and have a meal at La Posta when we are in Mesilla. Food was good as usual, and we had a very good waitress. It was lunchtime and the restaurant was very busy, but we got right in with no wait.

We might have liked this place better if we had to wait before we got our table. The lobby is interesting. Unfortunately the food is less so. The salsa was just OK, and the queso was awful. The service, while quick enough, was indifferent. Our server didn't seem to notice how little we ate. Th emphasis was clearly on turning... More

This restrant is located in the old town district, which is quite interesting. The restaurant is very popular but has so many little rooms, it is usually no problem finding an open table. Dining out doors in the courtyard is also an option, but in the heat of summer, might not be as good as dining indoors. Food is standard... More

We were seated in a small room with 4 or 5 tables in it. There were other better rooms to dine in. The fajitas de Cameron's were nothing special, but good. My wife's flaunt as were overdone, and her margarita had too much orange juice in it. The service was good, the atmosphere ok, and the food just ok.

We always try to eat here when we are passing through Las Cruces. I love the history of the place, the giant cage of squawky birds in the foyer, and the design. The food is always good and we have never had bad service. We have never had to wait for a table. The restaurant has a very laid back,... More

We specifically went here to enjoy a good Mexican mill as described in all of the advertisements. When we went into the restaurant we were told that it would be at least 20 to 30 minutes and I asked if we could sit out side and they said yes,. I asked for the bar and was told the first one... More
