Entering from the far left of the complex, you'll find a food truck behind the walls. And this is what Elephant Ranch is all about. I almost never order quesadillas. I'm a traditionalist who steers clear of Tex-Mex. But when the lady inside the truck tells you the Al Pastor Quesadilla is the best thing they serve, you get it and you don't ask questions! And it was soooo delicious! Beautifully melted pepper jack cheese entertains your taste buds. Spicy green chiles delight your senses. Marinated pork is found in every bite. And the homemade tortillas practically melt in your mouth. Elephant Ranch an oasis, a marvelous stop after 115 miles on eastbound Highway 70 without a single restaurant on the highway!

I'm a bourbon drinker, they had a variety of options - I ordered the old fashioned. They use their house rye - dry spell bourbon whiskey. Impressive old fashioned - Wife ordered the pineapple upside down drink ( from the secret menu! ) Drinks were $9, some were less. I bought a bottle of dry spell bourbon whiskey, good price $22. Really solid. I spoke to the bartender quite a bit. Asking questions how they started and such. They opened up about a year before Covid. Survived selling bottles Togo and hand sanitizer. Used cash to avoid 3.5% credit card charge. Bathroom was clean. Highly recommended. Support the local distillery!

The food is plain and generic, (Sysco Foods quality). We were there an hour and a half. Their description was a combination of a Chuck e Cheese and Dave & Buster's. It was a great choice with a little girl in a hot Saturday afternoon.

The vibe is that of your standard tap room with just about something for everyone. I tried the street taco lager and the blood orange cider. The first was similar to your classic Mexican lagers but had a very crisp taste and was very easy to drink. The blood orange cider was my favorite. Just the perfect amount of sweetness and tart that complement each other very well. The bartender we had was very friendly making causal conversation with us and knowledgeable with her recommendations for pint choices. They also do allow you to bring in your own food so there's something you can easily find that will pair with whatever that may be. Overall we had a fun experience at this casual establishment and look forward to our return.

Thursday, June 18 & Sunday, June 20, 2026…read more We were in Las Cruces for a convention and found Pecan Grill and Brewery on Thursday night. The experience was so good, we went back again on Sunday--our last night in town. That says everything. On Thursday, we had the salmon--exceptional, perfectly prepared, flavorful, and beautifully plated. On Sunday, we tried their steak and shrimp, which was equally outstanding. Both nights, the food was superb. But here's what really impressed me: I tried the beer tasting flight for the first time, and I actually liked every single beer. That's never happened to me before. Whoever curates their selection knows what they're doing. Our server, Gabe, was excellent -- attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He made both visits feel special. Pecan Grill and Brewery delivers on every level: outstanding food, exceptional beer selection, and hospitality that makes you want to come back. If you're in Las Cruces, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely return.

Wine tasting in New Mexico?! Well, why the hell NOT?! This was such a different experience for me…read more While the wine didn't knock my socks off, what did was the amazing hospitality and atmosphere. Sombra Antigua is where you wanna go to have a fun time. No judgments here, just a relaxing good time. While visiting New Mexico, I decided to check out the wine tasting scene. Admittedly, my expectations for wineries outside of my home state of California are generally quite low. Not because I don't think that there is better wine out there, but simply because I don't want to quickly compare everything to what I already know. Coming here, I knew it wouldn't be anything like the wineries back home. But that's honestly what I enjoyed most about Sombra Antigua. I stopped by solo without a reservation, and literally left with newly made friends that I hung out with for the rest of the night and even the next day. I mean, the people are so friendly, welcoming, and trustworthy here. There was live music and I sat and watched. 15 minutes later I was actually up and DANCING with a group of people. Shayla dancing with unknowns?! At MY big age? In this new era?! It's a rarity, I tell you! But, I did it. And it was SOOO much fun. Not to mention, the wine was actually pretty damn tasty. Yep, I said it! It was tasty. I enjoyed their Viognier, Demi sec, Barbera, and sweet cider beer. Is it the best wine that I've ever had in my life?! No, not at all. But, it's still good for the occasion and extremely affordable. They've got a large list of both wine and beer, and it's $5 for 5 tastes. BRING THOSE PRICES BACK TO NAPA!!! I know, I know... it ain't gonna happen. But, at least it's still thriving out here. The family who own and operate this winery is wonderful. They were right there dancing and drinking with everyone else. I love the family feel here. This is a winery where everyone know one another. And if they don't know someone, they're gonna get to know you and embrace you. I instantly felt embraced. What a warm and fun little gem this place is! If I'm ever back in this area again, a visit to Sombra Antigua will be first on my to-do list!
