Let’s face it Las Cruces has mostly Mexican food restaurants no doubt. So what if you want something different? How about some Italian food for a change. But you can bet that many will have some dishes with a southwest flair and even maybe incorporate some green or red chile in them. 😀 🌶.

Note: Be sure to contact all restaurants in advance to make sure what their current COVID hours and restrictions might be.
