Las Cruces

I will be here a year and am enjoying the town a lot. It is easy to get around and the people are very nice. The colors of the houses contrast with the desert plants and all is overseen by the beautiful Organ Mountains.

I look forward to seeing more of this city and the region.

I used to live in Las Cruces. It’s OK but not worth making a trip to unless you gotta. There is very little to do as far as culture or entertainment, but the people are friendly and nice and the Mexican restaurants are kick-ass. I wouldn’t recommend making an extra effort to get here though, unless you are on a quest for delicious green chile.

It’s a pretty nice place. I go to college here and enjoy the people. But finding a job in this city is HARD! That’s about the only negative thing I can say about it though. There is plenty to do and lots to spend money on, hence the reason why I need a job.

Not used to mountains so I found this to be beautiful. Mesilla is cool. The transmountain road between el paso and las cruces is a nice drive.

My Dad moved here. So I am visiting with my boyfriend in December. Any suggestions? We kinda want to go to Santa Fe too but it’s quite a drive I hear. Anything else cool to do? My Uncle has a place in Riodoso as well, is it worth going there? Thanks!

It sucks to live here but its a nice place to visit.

Carmen lives there!!!!

We stayed here when we were moving to San Diego.

nice little city

If you get hungry in Deming, keep driving…

In Las Cruces, there are great restaurants near the highway. Take the Main exit (turn on University) to get fresh roated coffee at Milagro (University and Locust). Also located on University is The Phonecia Mediterranean Restaurant and for quick decent Chinese try 5 Brothers. A block North of University on El Paseo, you’ll find a surprisingly good Thai Restaurant – The Lemongrass.

Take the Avenida de Mesilla exit, and visit the historic town of Mesilla. It’ll give you the best “authentic” New Mexico experience short of Taos or Santa Fe, and it’s located a couple miles from I-10. Dine at La Posta or Andale’s (both located off Av. de Mesilla) for your obligatory green chile experience. Grab a cup of decent cup of coffee at the quirky Bean.

If you want an interesting drive, take Highway 28 (Avenida de Mesilla) to El Paso instead of I-10. You’ll pass through the World’s largest pecan orchard, Stahman’s Farms. Stop in the gift shop if you want a sack of fresh pecans. Highway 28 will put you in a calm state of mind before you try to get through the freeway mess of El Paso.
