We've gone here for years and have always loved it. Today, was an exception. They were out of all ground beef so instead of a hamburger, they offered to make me a chicken sandwich. It sounded reasonable. When it arrived, it simply didn't taste right. I took one bite ans opted out. At the end of our meal, the server asked why I didn't eat any of it and I explained it didn't taste right. He brought our check and we paid and were getting ready to leave when the manager came out to apologize. The cook "accidentally" gave me vegan grilled chicken (I'm assuming that hey we're also out of real grilled chicken too). Unfortunately, my daughter's dish was also not the best and the same manager was out talking to a neighboring table, refunding chilaquiles, that looked like they'd already been chewed, put back on a plate and smothered with melted cheese. The food and service has significantly diminished. We likely won't be back. In their defense, they took my meal off the bill. read more

Solid 4 and a half. We love Las Cruces. Stop here every chance we get. I had the prickly pear margarita. Excellent. Velvet had the Sangria. She said it was wonderful. The star of the night was the brie fried wontons with cranberries and pecans. AMAZING. Never had anything like it. The chef who craeted it hit a home run. I had the green chile pesto pasta. Very tasty. The reason for the half star was the steak add on. Over cooked and somewhat tough. Should have went with the chicken. Velvet had the grown up mac and cheese. She gave it a 5. Service by Toni was excellent. Great venue. read more

Ordered bahn mi burger. Frozen preformed unseasoned patties. Supposed to come with pickled vegetables, only had carrots. Burger was completely unseasoned, not even salt, sweet potato fries were cold. We also order the red chile poutine fries. No red chile, duck confit tasted like turkey, and the cheese curds were flavorless. Our server was very kind and did a wonderful job, which is the only reason for the 2 stars, otherwise it would be zero. And to top it off we were given mustard packets and paper soufflé cups. A restaurant that charges $17 for an appetizer can't even be bothered to stock bottles condiments or aluminum cups. read more

Our friends recommended that we try this place for drinks and Tapas. It was an absolute hit! It is in a great area and the building has tons of character. You feel like you are walking into someone's home and are welcomed immediately. The service is absolutely stellar and we could not have asked for more. We sat in the bar area and enjoyed the dacor and the vibe of the place. There were several regulars at the bar which is always a good sign. We ordered drinks and several items from the Tapas menu and everything was on point! Fresh ingredients, tons of flavor, cooked perfectly. Our server Leonardo took absolute excellent care of us and tried his hardest to talk us into dessert. But we were so stuffed from the delicious food we decided that would have to happen another day. We will most certainly be back on our next trip to Las Cruces read more

I ate lunch here with three of my friends. Two of my friends ordered the grilled cheese, they were pleased with their order. I ordered the Bánh mi sandwich. I was delighted to see this on the menu. My other friend also ordered this. I have ordered this sandwich across the country and have never paid more than $7 for it. I wasn't sure what to expect considering I would be paying twice the amount. Inflation, I guess...? *shrugs* When I received my sandwich, it showed up on a corn dusted hamburger bun. I asked the server if they had run out of bread. She confirmed that this bread was correct. I was confused. The whole point of the Bánh mi sandwich is that it's a beautiful combination of French and Vietnamese food. It is supposed to be served on a baguette roll. This was inaccurate and out-of -touch. My friend who also received the sandwich had different ingredients in hers. My sandwich was soggy and didn't even have cilantro. I was completely unsatisfied. I am not okay with getting a "vegetarian tax." Since when was meat less expensive than a vegetarian option? Replacing my burger with the vegetarian patty shouldn't cost a quarter of the price of the entire meal. People either love this spot or hate it. The ambiance and decor is "good for Las Cruces." The service was solid. The prices don't reflect the quality of the food. And there isn't any cohesion to the menu. read more

My hiking buddy loves this place and took me here. I was expecting tex mex food but boy was this a pleasant surprise. We ordered the Festival quesadillas to start. They were delicious. I ordered the arrachera bites and the meat was flavorful and tender. My buddy ordered the enchilada brunch which basically is enchiladas with an egg on top. He shared a bite worth me and it was delicious. I might order that next time as his was better than mine. He insisted on the brie wonton. They were the hit. Brie stuffed with honey and nuts topped it off. The coffee was pouring and the wonton were the perfect compliment to a wonderful meal. read more

Never again . I ordered for doordash and was very excited to try all this food . I ordered hash browns , oyster mushroom tacos , and fried artichokes . I can't believe whoever is running this place allowed this to even leave the kitchen let alone be delivered . Everything arrived ice cold and hard like it was made three days ago . And everything was burnt to a crisp . I had to get a refund on the entire order as I could test one thing that arrived . Hash browns were frozen in the middle but burnt and chard on the edges . Chokes were black flakes that just crumbled like dead leaves . The mushroom tacos I couldn't even break the corn tortillas with my hands let alone my teeth, the mushrooms were so burnt and dried up I though I was also going to chip my teeth . Completely entire order was un edible I had to trash it all . Wouldn't even feed it to a dog . Never again will I give this place a try read more

I had the chilaquiles they were good. Nice quiet clean place. Our servers was very nice.

Everything was wonderful. Food was delicious. I had the turkey blueberry sandwich. Decor was great. Service was wonderful.

Lovely brunch spot. Provides beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. Everything was speedy and clean, service was great as well. There are vegan options. Our server even accommodated by asking the kitchen which dishes could be altered and served vegan. We ordered a variety of dishes, but the red chile poutine was absolutely phenomenal. The flavors mended together in a way that's unexplainable. The fries were drenched in the duck fat and red chile, topped with thick cheese curds and tender pieces of duck. I would come back here solely for that dish. I also ordered the prickly pear lemonade and bleu & blue burger. The lemonade was the perfect amount of tanginess and sweetness, I prefer lemonades that still hold the lemon flavor while complimented by another. The prickly pear was subtle but a perfect addition to the drink. The burger was interesting, it was recommended by our server so I took a chance with that combo. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the burger a lot. It was drenched in bleu cheese and blueberry aioli, the sweetness and bitterness of both flavors created a balance that made the burger enjoyable. Each burger is paired with french fries (or a substitute for +$4) and a pickle. However, I wish I requested onions on the burger since it seemed to be missing something. There are two(?) gender neutral bathrooms in the restaurant, both private with one toilet and one sink. The atmosphere felt welcoming and it was evident that they make sure to keep everything clean. The bathroom was tidy and even had posters for local events going on in the area. Wonderful experience. Will be back again! read more

What a great spot for an early brunch! We were the second table on the patio Sunday morning. Staff was friendly and attentive. The menu has options for everyone. I'm glad we got to try 3 different things. Green Bombo was our favorite! The green Chile sauce really brought the dish together without being spicy. Runny eggs is the only way to eat eggs! Chicas nachos was pretty good and not soggy. There's something about the fresh cracked pepper that brought out the flavor of the chichas. Brie Wonton was ok. I would have preferred for the craisins and pecans to be on the inside. read more

My son and I went here for brunch on a Wednesday morning. We were the first ones to get here, but soon more people started showing up. We were seated at their beautiful patio, and our waitress came to check on us right away. I had the breakfast Enchiladas and my son had the All American. I also ordered iced tea, and it was very refreshing because they make it with melon, mint and lime (a must have). The breakfast Enchiladas were delicious and very filling. The green Chile wasn't hot, which I prefer. If you are looking for a place to eat in Las Cruces, I highly recommend this place. Support the locals and have a great meal. read more

We went for the Scotch Tasting. The options were good and the ribs were sweet, according to my son.

Really disappointing. I rarely write two star reviews, but this place deserves it for the very poor food quality given the price of the food. Some background: I am not from the area and I was very, very hungry this particular evening. My husband and I were both growing tired of tex/mex cuisine that we had been eating on our 11 day long road trip. Let me start out by saying that if any restaurant brings out bread that is tie-dye colored - leave. The food coloring is a gimmick. This bread had zero flavor. What we ordered: *The green chile mac and cheese - uuummmmm, it was penne pasta with a running green chile sauce. It was not macaroni pasta, it was not cheese. It was very boring and something I could have made when I was in junior high. *Chicken and waffles. We apparently didn't read the menu very well, because this is not fried chicken - it is grilled! Grilled?!?!?! WTF. Also had zero flavor and the chicken looked like the kind you buy in the freezer section of the grocery store and microwave before eating. The look of this dish alone made me feel sick and I didn't eat any of the chicken. *Cremini mushrooms. Yet another tapas dish on their menu with very little flavor. Not enough garlic was used for sure. *Posole. By far the best item we ordered, but by far the worst posole I have ever had. It was like someone dumped chicken broth, a whole bunch of hominy in a pot and sprinkled in small bits of pork and green chiles. I have had posole as a red broth and a green broth. This was a clear broth. Maybe I am missing something, but this didn't look very traditional to me. Service is SLOOOWWWWWWWWWW. We had to remind one of our two servers that we never got our posole, and by this point we decided to get the smaller because I had lost of my appetite (intended to share large bowl with my husband). We chose this restaurant because we thought tapas was a nice change of pace from tacos and it is not a chain restaurant. However, this fell short of acceptable because of the price of the food for the quality provided. read more

Everything about this place is good! They have a variety of everything, pasta, burgers, tapas, dessert, breakfast, fishy, etc ! They even have a full bar with great drinks. One of my top places to eat in Las Cruces. Almost every day they have a special going on. Food is top notch. The servers are always kind and welcoming. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is appealing. My favorite time to go is either in the late afternoon, share a bottle of wine with a friend, vent, while sharing a bunch of tapas. This place is perfect for that type of vibe. Compliments to the chef as well, food is always good . read more

The food had a beautiful presentation and was warm when we received it. The food is flavorful and delicious with each bite! I got the artichoke chicken. The service however was below average, the server took a while to come back and we waited for about 10-12 minutes. The patio had great lighting and ambient music while enjoying our meal and conversing. I will definitely be coming back the menu is full of good options. read more

The staff are friendly and accommodating. Our server Katie is on it! She is positive, attentive and customer-centric! Definitely a keeper!!! The entertainment was great! They had a woman singing and playing jazz guitar! She truly has talent!! It was festive and really picked up the energy! The drinks were tasty, but we all thought they forgot to put in the alcohol.... ;) Now, it is a restaurant so I should talk about the food, but there is not much to say. It is bland, mediocre, basically pretty disappointing. Shame really, it is a great space with good people, the menu looks creative but the food just doesn't deliver. read more

A great lunch or dinner spot. I love their wine slushies during the summer when we are melting from the heat. Great selection of wine and some healthier eating options that can be hard to find. read more

My wife and I shared a single Thanksgiving takeout meal from Salud. It was excellent. We do not eat large amounts at a meal so there was enough for each of us on Thanksgiving, and two more meals on Friday, plus my small breakfast this morning. The turkey was tasty and moist, the sides were very good. The photo shows my wife's plate on Thanksgiving. My plate was similar. The two additional meals on Friday probably were a bit smaller, but still plenty for us. (For reference, the plate diameter is almost 9" rim to rim, so maybe it would be referred to as an 8" plate?) This was certainly the best "takeout" holiday meal we have ever had from anywhere. read more

This place was very busy on an otherwise uneventful Wednesday evening, so they must be doing something right....I just don't think that something is their food. They were unfortunately out of several dishes and the entrees we ended up ordering had an impressive lack of flavor. No worries, nothing a little hot sauce can't solve! The cocktails we got were creative in how unique they tasted. I would not recommend any of them. Maybe just stick to beer or wine? The service was great and I can't complain about the ambiance. Maybe we just struck out with our choices? There aren't many options in Las Cruces so maybe give this place a shot if you're feeling less than adventurous. read more

Updating my review today. Still really happy with this place and I had a stellar review raving about the service and the food. All that remains the same but the managers attitude and justification of the club soda charge really put us off. This isn't LA no one charges more than once for club soda here. No one but salud. Would have ordered the San peligrino had we known. Lost a star. read more

Last night there was a Tequila Tasting, do not hesitate to join the Hernandez's for any tastings they are a class act. They offered a Navajo Taco, not normally served at the restaurant that paired well with our tastes. I would never have found the Gran Coramino Tequila (owned by Kevin Hart) but, it was like drinking a liqueur and who knew that the Don Armando Rustico a mezcal would be such a winner with both my hubby and I? We are so grateful to have been part of this event at our favorite restaurant! read more

We went for the first time specifically for the Prime Rib special. We arrived early (5pm) and after being seated we waited awhile for our drink order. After receiving drinks and putting order in for prime rib with house salads we again waited. I assumed our salads would come out first. But everything came out at once. Our waitress seemed very inexperienced. The food was all very good but I hope they step up and prepare the staff to do better! read more

I can't believe we paid $25 with tax for the artichoke chicken that was so peppery it is all we could taste in the chicken and artichoke. Shockingly the frozen and freezer burned carrots, corn and peas had zero seasoning and straight out of the freezer!! They were not even warm when they hit our table. The sauce for the chili pesto pasta wasn't great. The chicken in both entrees was tough. No wonder they served the artichoke chicken with a serrated steak knife. Luckily the chicken on the pasta dish has been cut for us. For two entrees, a lemonade and one margarita, I can't believe we spent $70 before tip. Ate here 18 months ago and couldn't wait to come back because it held good memories. Will never forget back after this terrible meal. read more

This was my first time here and it was kinda a disappointment. But I am thinking it was because I was given a pretty big build up from a friend. I "had" to try the bloody Mary. It was good but it wasn't anything more than a regular bloody Mary with some bacon stuck in it. The waitress told me I should come in on Sunday when they do a bloody Mary bar. So I am hoping when I do that my rating will go to 4. The patio is dog friendly. That's a plus. I should have known better than to order Lox at a Mexican place in New Mexico. But I did and they were blah. Very blah. I'd avoid that tapas. The bbq jack fruit tacos would have been amazing had they not made the shell out of the jicama. It cracked and broke and was a big mess. But the jack fruit was tasty and I would eat this in a nice corn tortilla or even a lettuce wrap. The service was fine. The dog water dish was a good touch. But I think I just picked the wrong day to try this place for the recommended bloody Mary. An update coming after a Sunday visit. read more

My 600th review!!! *crowd goes wild* On our way to the Las Cruces Farmers Market, I convinced my ridiculously hungry husband that we should also eat breakfast in LC even though we could've just picked up a burrito on the way out of town. But by the end of our meal he was incredibly happy that we waited for Salud de Mesilla! Someone described the decorations here as Hobby Lobby-y and yeah I get it... however, there are a lot of interesting features like their penny wall and the Salud wine cork frame. Also they really set the mood of a casual meal with their choice of music - Sinatra covers and acoustic versions of fimiliar melodies. They're a newer spot, but our waiter was super knowledgeable of all things offered and recommended the sangrias to start. I ordered a white sangria and was head over heals for it. There was no fruit mixed in, muddled or chopped, and yet it was the fruitiest concoction I've ever tasted and had a slight fizz to it... moscato, maybe, I don't know. After glancing at the breakfast, lunch, dinner, tapas, and dessert menus I asked if all menus were available for breakfast... they are! I went tapas crazy and ordered the Brie Wontons, St. Louis Style Toasted Ravioli, and the Salud Beignets. It's so hard for me to pick my favorite, but I would probably order the toasted ravioli every. single. time I go. They were breaded and fried perfectly and the marinara was zesty. Even my husband that's from St. Louis said it was authentic and delicious. The Brie Wontons were very light, but perfect with the cranberries and nuts. And the beignets were salty, sweet, and savory... and slightly Southern. Yum. Portion size is pretty normal for a tapas plate, a bite or two for 2-3 people. Even though I was pretty full, I could not pass up on their Gooey Butter Rum Cake because rum. And cake. This was divine. The presentation was simple, but beautiful. The glaze had the ideal amount of rum flavor to it. And the cake was moist and delicious. Absolutely do this! I cannot wait to go back soon. I think this will easily be our weekend breakfast spot! Oh and they allow dogs on their patio. *Haha just kidding about the crowd going wild read more
