Cafe de Mesilla: Reviews & Ratings
Probably the best French toast I've ever had. It was thick and flavorful. The latte was amazing, the parfait was amazing. It was all around a great experience. A lot of cool little nick nacks in the store up front. Definitely coming back.
Party of 14 of us enjoyed a Mother's Day breakfast there. Without exception everyone said their food was excellent. Joyce, the owner is great and the rooms in this place are decorated with all sorts of interesting items that are available for purchase. Do yourself a favor.... Check this out.
Been coming here for over 10 years with my mom. We live in Socorro so it's an hour drive away but we always drop by when we're in Las Cruces/Mesilla. The quality and atmosphere has been so consistent. Such a wonderful gem.
Sometimes it's the smallest things that can make a meal enjoyable. Most restaurants treat tea drinkers as second class citizens, ie. Lukewarm water in a big, bulky mug. But not here. The water was hot and served in a good sized tea cup. Plus, my favorite dish, the Monte Cristo, was purrrfect, as usual and my husband certainly enjoyed his omelet smothered in red sauce. Friendly service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere made for a great Sunday morning breakfast.
Delicious breakfast and lattes. The place is very quaint and has a relaxed atmosphere. It feels very local and like you’re eating in someone’s house or patio. The green chile on the Mean Joe Green Burrito is a perfect blend of spicy and flavor but is not overwhelming. The Scrambled Special is amazing!! The hollandaise sauce is a great addition to a scrambled egg. 10/10 would recommend and we’ll be back!!
Another winner away from the traffic and busy roads you will find it on a lovely road in a small town side road setting. Park by the wagon wheels and walk around to the front patio entrance. It's quaint. Walk in and wait to be seated. Be greeted by a friendly welcome. Folk are chatting and eating to your left. The gift shop area has an assortment of jewelry and South West items. It's easy to wait in this area. There are little rooms, all colorful and filled with hand painted, very affordable artwork. It's soul nurturing. Everywhere i looked was artful. I ordered the vegan rancheros which subbed avocado sliced for eggs and omitted dairy. It was delicious, hot, tasty and filling. I was ready to hike White Sands National Park. I liked the home made corn tortillas, beans, fresh salad, everything. Folk are all friendly here. Ambiance, food, and service, this place checks all the boxes and more. A nice, intimate space. Enjoy!
10 years ago we stopped by for breakfast and it was charming and delicious. Today we celebrated my granddaughter's 9th birthday. She wanted a tea party with a few of her friends. The owner very kindly set it up for us and all enjoyed it very much.
Beautiful little restaurant! We enjoyed our wonderful breakfast! We had very tasty breakfast. We had an Omelette and huevos Rancheros, spiced to perfection. Our desert was the pecan pancake. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy. Beautiful artwork inside! Make a point to stop here. Does not disappoint.
