    Side of Rice with the shrimp tacos
    Melissa H.

    We were in town for 1 day and several friends told us we HAD to eat at Andele's. We arrived for a late lunch and were sat right away. Service was quick and friendly. We enjoyed the salsa bar and all of our meals.

    Stacked enchiladas - Christmas (1/2 red & green chile)
    Carissa V.

    If you're looking for authentic New Mexican flavor, Andele's is a must-stop in Las Cruces! The red chile is bold, rich, and everything you'd hope for if you're a traditionalist--it's a must-try. But if you lean toward green chile (and love queso), their green chile is unlike any other--more like a creamy, cheesy chile dip than a sauce. My advice? Get both and order it Christmas style. Every dish was packed with true New Mexico flavor--comforting, spicy, and incredibly tasty with amazing service. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. A total gem for locals and visitors alike!

    Marinated pork w/avocado and rice and beans, 4 flour tortillas and a Side of Guacamole Sangria
    Joelle M.

    Just a typical fast food Mexican restaurant, no seasoning on the red sauce meat and basic rice/beans. Sangria wasn't anything too special either. Chips were thick n salted good. Salsa was a bit spicy but gave my taco the help it needed. Shout out to Ben, he was a good server, checked in regularly and for getting me salsa-since back area was getting cleaned for the night. Decent priced $33 w/tip. Got recommended from front help at the Hampton Inn. Was so looking forward to good Mexican food since traveling from VA, missed our usual location and was quite disappointed at Andele. Don't need to come back here.

    This place is always hopping. Staff is nice and attentive. Food is good though I will admit the steak on its own, was not my favorite. It was sad so I've adapted and have been defaulting to the burgers which is something I never thought I'd do at a Mexican restaurant but here I am. It is very good and I continue to order it. It can get loud in here but it's a fun place

    Green chile enchiladas with chicken
    Sharon B.

    I had the green chile enchiladas with chicken, and they were delicious. The flavor of the sauce was excellent, and this restaurant is a nice relaxed environment.

    What a great unassuming spot! We had tried going to the doghouse, but the wait was long and were told we could try Andele across the street - same food, same menu. Although it was packed, we were seated promptly. Our server was friendly and answered all our question. I loved the salsa bar - so many options for everyone's palates. The pork al carbon tacos were so tasty! The fries with cheese and added beef were also really great. Don't miss this place if you're visiting.

    Always always always a good experience! The food is consistently good! My favorite order is: enchiladas with chicken, onion, egg, and sour cream. I have ordered it way more times than I have yelped it. I highly recommend. You may have to wait, it may be busy, the price is a bit high. But, it's the best green enchiladas anywhere!

    Being from So Cal and having been to New Mexico several times, I wasn't expecting much, but the wife wanted to prove me wrong, so she picked this place and Wow! * Draft beer under $5 (for 24 oz) * Flan for $5 * All you can eat Menudo for $10, * Al Carbon Tacos for $12 (they say enough for 4, but I also used my wife's large tortilla for the remaining ingredients to make a large taco (so I'll say 5.5 tacos) * A very good Salsa Bar (the Chipotle sauce was the BOMB!) This place was awesome!

    Taco Platter for two. Lots of meat.  Two bowls of flavorful beans.  Plenty of guacamole.

    Ay dios mío, the best spicy tamales! I've literally never had hot tamales as I'm from Oregon where there are too many pansies.

    La Nueva Casita Cafe - Tacos Estrellas ($12.50)

    I stopped at La Nueva Casita just passing through town, Then…read moretasted the chile and nearly fell down, Red chile! Green chile! Christmas delight! Smoky and roasty and cooked just right, No thick soggy batter all gooey and mean, Just peppery goodness in red and in green, With crunchy chips, salsa, and honey so sweet, Sopapillas bouncing right out of my seat, Five stars for flavor, for joy, and for fun-- I'd drive four whole hours for another round with my son!

    First impression wasn't too good. We walked into the restaurant to first see a tub of dirty dishes…read moreand seat ourselves at a sticky table. The complimentary (first round) of chips and salsa was above par. The menu was descriptive and the service was friendly. We ordered the fajita tacos and the combination lunch plate (chicken hard taco, green chile con carne, green enchilada, and a chile relleno) with borracho beans and rice. The fajita tacos and chile con carne were okay, but the enchilada was weak and the relleno was filled with some sort of liquid cheese that poured out in the first lukewarm bite. Rice was okay. Beans were overwhelmingly over-seasoned with oregano. The combo plate was drowning in broth from the chile con carne. We were disappointed hearing that this place had such great green chiles, but it was all so watered-down that we didn't taste much of the chile flavor. :(

    Party of 4--we stopped in for drinks and dessert and ended up really enjoying it…read more Everyone ordered something different--margarita, wine, beer, and an old fashioned with a smoked twist--and all of them were really good. Prices were about what you'd expect, nothing crazy. The desserts were just as solid--very tasty and a great way to wrap things up. Our waitress was super nice and always nearby if we needed anything, without hovering. Overall, a great spot to swing by even if you're just going for drinks and dessert. Definitely worth it.

    While on a Southwest road trip, we found ourselves spending the night in Las Cruces, New Mexico…read more When we asked the staff at our hotel for a local dining recommendation, they pointed us toward the historic village of Mesilla, just south of Las Cruces. It turned out to be excellent advice. Mesilla is a charming, historic community with an unmistakable Old World feel. Founded in 1848, it once served as the Confederate capital of the Arizona Territory and is perhaps best known as the site where the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid was tried and convicted of murder in 1881. Today, the village centers around a picturesque plaza surrounded by beautifully preserved adobe buildings, shops, and restaurants that make it well worth a visit. One of Mesilla's most famous restaurants is La Posta de Mesilla, which has been serving traditional New Mexican cuisine since 1939. Over the decades, it has expanded into a sprawling 17,000-square-foot complex made up of a maze of interconnected dining rooms. Its menu is built around century-old family recipes featuring the renowned red and green chiles grown nearby in the Hatch and Mesilla valleys. After what felt like a two- or three-minute walk through the restaurant to reach our table, we ordered margaritas and waited for the customary basket of chips. I added an order of chile con queso along with both the red and green salsas. Our drinks, chips, and salsas arrived promptly. The salsas were pleasantly spicy and packed more heat than the average restaurant version, something I appreciated. Unfortunately, the chile con queso never arrived. After unsuccessfully trying to catch the attention of one of the busy servers, we finally flagged someone down to remind them. By the time it reached our table, our entrées were only moments away, leaving little opportunity to enjoy it with the chips. My wife ordered two tacos with rice and beans. I chose the Folded Tacos--three deep-fried folded corn tortillas filled with seasoned ground beef and chicken, then topped with lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese, served alongside refried beans and rice. So, how was the food? It was simply okay. Nothing on either plate stood out. The dishes lacked the bold flavors, vibrant presentation, and satisfying textures that make New Mexican cuisine so memorable. My impression is that, over the years, La Posta has evolved into a destination built to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit annually. In doing so, its food seems to have been toned down to appeal to the broadest possible audience, sacrificing some of the authenticity and character that made it famous. Service added to the disappointment. It was slow, disjointed, and often difficult to find a server when we needed one. Since we visited on a Sunday evening, it's possible the restaurant was short-staffed, but regardless of the reason, the overall dining experience suffered. If you're visiting the Las Cruces area, don't miss Mesilla. It's one of southern New Mexico's true gems and absolutely deserves a stop. As for La Posta de Mesilla, however, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for dinner. In a town with this much history and character, I'm confident you'll find a restaurant that delivers a more memorable meal.
