Boba Cafe

Reviewed By RoseH591

After wandering around the Las Cruces Farmer's Market with a friend we headed to Boba Cafe for lunch. We have nothing like this in El Paso. The restaurant is small, friendly and inviting. This is not a fast food restaurant, you will wait for your meal to be prepared. It is well worth the wait. I love their vegetarian sandwich and sweet potato fries. My friend tried one of the wraps and loved it. Nice variety on the menu, a little something for everyone. A nice selection of vegetarian items on the menu. Service is sometimes a bit slow, but I am retired and I am usually relaxing when I am out to lunch with friends ~ just more time to visit.

Dick's Cafe

Reviewed By nathanm238

A very good place to eat. I walked in around 1 PM and the place was busy. To me usually it means a good sign. I ordered a cheeseburger and to my amazement I was informed there were three sizes. Regular, jumbo and a double jumbo. Sarah (my waitress) explained in detail the sizes to me. I ordered the regular with fries. First I didn't wait long and the cheeseburger and fries were cooked the way I liked it. The fries were a little over cooked but still were delicious. The cheeseburger was with lettuce and tomato. All and all it was really good. I will try this place again the next time in Las Cruces.

Went here for breakfast. We both had egg biscuits, one with bacon, other with sausage patty. Very good except egg was like hard boiled. Potatoes were delicious, coffee very good. Also had chocolate croissant and spiced scone. All very good, but a little pricey. Will definitely return.

Jakes Cafe

Reviewed By kdw118

We've been going here since they moved back from Dona Anna. Easy access, good parking. Their burgers are homemade, Not A Patty. There's even a burger challenge. Cooked when you order it's always hot. The fries are homemade as well. If you have a big appetite get the Country Fried Steak, it's not for the faint of heart as it covers the plate and is better than Cracker Barrel. Their prices are good, you can eat for $10 or less. Their staff is always nice. The only thing I would not try here is the grabber machine, it's always barely gripping.

Reviewed By OCReporter2

The Corner Bakery offers dependably good chain restaurant dining. The Las Cruces café is especially large with an attractive and cool patio area (pets were OK when we were there). The breakfast offerings are always good (The Anaheim Scrambler is a favorite). But now...the salads are really standouts as well...so give those a try. They change things up with seasonal salads (almost always good). This place is close to many hotels. The neighborhood needs some freshening up but the restaurant itself is first-rate. Staff was friendly and helpful as well.

Reviewed By Mike S

Lunch was just so so good. Everything we ate was prepared perfectly, plate looked fantastic, and bread served with the meal was from the past. Then came the pastries, Oh My. These are as good as we have had in Paris. You just can't get these unless a highly trained and experienced person makes them. People of Las Cruces are lucky, lucky people.

Reviewed By Judy M

Cute cafe but the food was not as good as expected based on TA reviews. The Chicken Enchiladas were room temperature as was the filling in the Monte Cristo. The Cristo was made with slices of french bread dipped in an eggy and flavorful mix, the green chile was so mild it added nothing but the Raspberry Chipotle dip was delicious. Overall fairly good. The Enchiladas were tough and rubbery, the green chile was extraordinarily mild and the chicken was lukewarm and flavorless. The beans were bland and dry, and the rice was dry and clumpy and had too much Mexican Oregano. My dining partner gave it a D. The consistancy of the tortilla and rice was very like what happens when food is reheated in a microwave.

Enjoy breakfast or lunch in our quaint cafe or on the picturesque patio. Fresh baked goods, sandwiches and, local fare. Relax with a glass of wine from our own Old Gate Cellars Winery and other New Mexico wines. Browse the antique store and gift shop.

What a treat to find the perfectly flavored New Mexico posole. Add in the locally-made flour tortillas and it's "olé." A perfect late morning brunch, perfect October weather in a historical setting, it doesn't get any better than this. The variety of New Mexican items on the menu made it a tough decision, what to order, what to order. When we spotted the posole in the corner of the menu, we both said "posole" at the same time. It was rico.Go on Saturday or Sunday and you'll hear live music too! Open for breakfast-lunch.

The Shed

Reviewed By Wade E

Had heard about “The Shed” as a good local place serving New Mexican cuisine, then I looked at their website and saw they also have some really scrumptious sounding breakfast. We tried them for Sunday brunch and it was awesome! They have a bunch of eggs Benedict recipes, my wife had the traditional, while I had the huevos rancheros with home fries & beans. Both meals were served quickly and hot and they were busy with Sunday brunch crowd. We are pretty new to Las Cruces and will definitely be back for breakfast and more!
