Had a lovely bite and beverage on this bistro's patio. Since it was a Saturday evening, they still had their brunch drink special--a bottle of bubbles with three juices (orange, cranberry, and prickly pear) for $15. What a deal! Our server was very friendly and checked in on us often. He was very accommodating when we asked to exchange the raspberries on our charcuterie platter for a different item. The Pretzel Pasto is amazing! A giant pretzel serves as the vessel for the chef's selection of meats and cheeses, along with fresh fruit, chocolate chips that melt like frosting on the hot pretzel, and gooey delicious queso. We also split a small bowl of the green chile mac and cheese and regretted not getting a larger bowl. For dessert, the creme brulee bombo was unlike anything I have had--an Italian puffed donut filled with cream, but this cream was bruleed on top with a thick, crisp layer like creme brulee, so it was like having two desserts in one. It came with a side of prickly pear syrup, but I chose to skip that. Excellent experience at Salud! de Mesilla. read more

"Salud to Salud!" Tucked away in the heart of Las Cruces, Salud is the kind of spot that makes you instantly relax the moment you walk in -- jazzy tunes playing softly, a laid-back vibe, and plenty of seating options whether you want bar energy, cozy indoor tables, or fresh-air patio feels. The menu is surprisingly creative with tons of vegan and vegetarian choices (and they'll happily modify just about anything). I decided to branch out and try their vegan tamale, and wow -- easily one of the most unique takes I've had! It's served wet style with a rich sauce poured over the top, and it totally worked. Pair that with a glass of their perfectly brewed iced tea and you've got yourself a solid meal. The service was spot-on from start to finish -- several friendly faces checked on our table throughout, which always makes a difference. And bonus points for the little gift shop attached to the restaurant -- it's such a charming touch. Salud really nails that small-town comfort with big flavor and genuine hospitality. read more

I really want to like this place. The food was good but our service was horrific. We had to remind our server about a drink order, some of our food wasn't brought out, and had to ask for our check multiple times. And she kept disappearing and never coming back. Overall a good meal ruined by poor service. read more

As the name suggests, this restaurant focuses on more healthy as well as vegetarian options. Pleasant restaurant with a large menu.

An amazing place to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. I planned a Dinner Club for 10 couples. We had a total of 22 people. The manager was able to accommodate a last minute change/request. The service was amazing. Well poured drinks, great wine menu and a good selection of beers. All of our food was great and hot, after serving this large table. They put us in a private room so we could be by ourself as a group. The portions are large. read more

Jazz, our server, was absolutely amazing!! Every time we eat here the staff makes the meal groovy!! Have to mention get the Chicken and waffles, your taste buds will thank you!! read more

Great atmosphere, love that they serve brunch all day! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I had the chicken fried steak with eggs at 7PM and it was delightful. The lemon chicken plate is also great, the broccolini was cooked perfectly and the oven baked potatoes were masterfully cooked. My only criticism is the spicy Hawaiian burger was underwhelming. There was a bizarre tart and sour flavor that I was not expecting, I wish the burger came with more pineapple. The fries however were very good. Overall very good experience! read more

All the the above!! Food Service Ambiance Highly recommend this place. Everyone is welcomed and attentive to! read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Las Cruces. I originally discovered it as a poor, sleep deprived student who just needed a place to study. However, it has kept me coming back for several years. The staff is incredibly friendly. I've had the chance to talk with the owner a couple of times, what a gem! They are one of the many highlights of this place. The space is comforting. Great bar seating, great patio, and different dining rooms with lovely tables. The food is always excellent. From brunch to dinner to drinks, I am never disappointed. Sometimes they rotate out menu items and have new things featured. read more

Service and ambiance are stellar, but for me the food was subpar. I had waffles and chicken. I expected a piece of fried chicken and full waffles. Instead I got cut up pieces of waffles and tiny fried pieces of chicken. The main ingredient was bacon. I was very disappointed. read more

After a day of hiking White Sands, we headed to Salud de Mesilla. We had our dog, luckily he was allowed on their outdoor patio. We had margaritas and the Brie wontons And the Festival Flamed quesadilla with chicken . Delicious. We did find it silly for them to charge us $1.50 for a small container of salsa. Especially when sour cream and guacamole were included. * hilarious that they have STL toasted ravioli on the menu! We lived there for 17 years. Found out one of the owners is from there. read more

It was my husband's birthday, we wanted a good meal, the reviews were mostly about lunch or sandwiches and hamburgers, which were not what we wanted. We liked the variety on the menu- we liked the appetizers (cauliflower and calamari- separate menu items) We liked both, but would get something else next time. Most importantly, .we loved the dinners. My husband got the tilapia, I ordered the ribeye. Both were perfectly cooked and steak lived up to the explanation ( good portion sizes). The sides of broccolini and petite potatoes were cooked just right. The steak and fish were perfectly seasoned, We had the house salad with mustard dressing/ very tasty and crème brûlée was a nice finish. Our server Onole was well versed, pleasant and attentive. Richard the manager was very personable and had good people skills, very proud of the restaurant and staff which was refreshing. The team works well together from hostess to service staff and management, they are all complimentary of f the kitchen product and staff. Overall an excellent experience. We recommend it and we will definitely return. Thumbs up! The ambiance was nice, intimate dinig and some larger table, with 2 bar spaces, smaller inside and a larger covered patio. Overall the restaurant lived up to the reviews I read and I hope this review helps others. The menu had a large variety - especially since they use only one menu . Brunch looked different and maybe next time that is what I will try. read more

We got a perfect morning to sit on the patio. Our server, Jazz, was just a delight! Had good suggestions, noticed water glasses and checked in enough without being overwhelming. Now let's talk about what fun the Bloody Mary and mimosa bar can be! I had a peach mimosa, but not the bar, and it was delicious. My friend made her own Bloody Mary and said the only thing missing was celery stalks. They had celery salt, but that's not crunchy! Salad in a glass with a generous pour on the vodka side. Sunday also had prime rib tacos for $1.50, so we started with those. Very fresh, pretty ample amount of prime rib, flavorful sauce, tomatoes and lettuce. We would do those again. Next we did their nachos, which are discounted on Sunday. We added grilled chicken and that was a great addition. 3 of us had more than enough to eat with a taco each and shared nachos. Incredibly affordable, drinks and splitting the meal came to about $15 each. I should have taken a picture of the nachos, but we dove right in! read more

We requested patio seating for a party of 6 on a Friday evening. Very little wait time - patio was clean and comfy. Waitress was attentive, friendly and helpful as it was our 1st time dining. Food was really good and portions were well worth the price and served hot and timely. Really enjoyed our time and can't wait to go back to enjoy other dishes. read more

Really good food! Our party all enjoyed their food. Our server was a very nice guy as well!

The food is fantastic, our server Hector was friendly and helpful. We sat outside on a lovely patio. The prices are very fair. Plus there is a lovely gift shop next door. read more

The burger had a decent size and those fries went along perfectly with it. The bread was probably the factor that made it more unique. The presentation matches the ambiance that made me forget about time and enjoy the conversation. The service is good and helpful. The server recommended some items and even explained some of the process to us which made us trust and crave the food even more. I can't wait to return and see what else I can get from their delicious menu. Provecho! read more

We came on a Friday evening around 5pm. It wasn't busy at all which was quite surprising. We sat at a high top table in the bar area where the bartender Onola "Ohn-a-lay" served us. She ran this area like a Boss! She was very attentive and checked on us several times throughout our dining experience. She also very friendly and suggested items on the menu that were her favorite as well as those that were very tasty. The bar area was dim and cozy. There was upbeat music playing but not too loud. I had the fish n chips which was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and light and tender on the inside. It came with a jalapeño aioli which was quite tasty but very spicy. I love hot--but this one kicked me in the back of the throat. Jalapeños lovers will appreciate this one. I also ordered an Old Fashioned which she finished with a maraschino dark cherry and a blood orange slice. It was made so perfectly that I had to order a second one to sip on while my husband finished off our creme brûlée. It was truly one of the best old fashioned Ive had as traveler for the last 4 years all across America. My husband had the Classic Burger. It was juicy and had that char grill flavor and seasoned with salt and pepper just as a good quality beef should only need. The French fries were seasoned battered fries and quite delicious. The creme brûlée may not look as present g as most because of the red sauce on top--but it's a strawberry sauce that complimented very well. If you are passing through and want a good place to eat with many varieties as well as their own uniqueness that you'll never find anywhere else try Salud! It's a family owned establishment with a jewelry and accessory store beside it. Unfortunately I was unable to browse because it closed at 6pm. We'd definitely come back if we ever come back west. read more

Hubby and I were passing through on a very long journey from Houston. After 7 hours of driving, I was so pleased to visit Salud de Mesilla for REAL food instead of snacks. I was also pleasantly surprised that they offered several vegan options. The staff was so friendly, personable, and accommodating from the second we walked in the door to the moment we left. Such amazing service from our waiter Christian! I ordered the Beyond Burger with lettuce instead of a bun and a side of sweet potato fries. My husband ordered the Blueberry Turkey Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. My Beyond Burger was so delicious! the crispy vegan cheese shreds were an amazing touch! my husband said his sandwich was also very tasty and we both agreed that the ingredients were very fresh. We were both bummed that we couldn't stay longer since the outdoor patio was so relaxing and the weather was lovely. Mesilla is such a cute town that we wish we were able to stay and explore. Whenever we are back in the area we will definitely come back, and we highly recommend trying this place out for yourself! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place! I don't live in town but this place was recommended by my family years ago and it's one of my absolute favorite spots! We used Salud for my mom's surprise 60th and now my grandmother's passing. They are super easy to work with and the food is phenomenal! read more

This wasn't what I expected. When they said "tilapia with herb, lemon butter sauce" I expected fresh herbs, not Lawry seasoning salt. Very salty and heavy butter. The fish was swimming in it. The Smoked Salmon was dry and overcooked. The service was pretty good, though! read more

This restaurant was recommended by local coworkers as one to try for my vegan coworker and for patio seating. This was one of the best meals we had during our short visit to Las Cruces. There were several items for the vegan to choose from and even a vegan cheesecake (but they were out of them that day). I eat everything but only had eyes for the pretzel appetizer. It was huge and I didn't finish it. It could definitely feed 2 people. I thought it was a lot for one person but it was a good price ($14.99) and totally worth it. If my hotel had a fridge in my room I would have taken it to go. I would absolutely go back and get that again The patio was mostly covered and there was a good breeze so we were very comfortable. Our server, Jorge, was friendly, funny, and attentive (but not annoyingly). I think we got there around 6pm and we're seated right away. As we left though it looked like they were on a wait. That must have been around 8 maybe? read more

We stopped by Salud de Mesilla for a late lunch/ Dinner on our way to El Paso. The special of the day was half off burgers and $1.50 off draft beer before 6pm! Fortunately we made the cut! Service was excellent and outdoor seating was favorable in 105 degree heat. I give three stars because the food. Although portion sizes were fantastic, some of our food choices lacked in flavor. Umami Burger with Green Chillies Mac and Cheese: This is a fantastic burger! The shishito peppers and fresco give the burger a light umami taste. We decided to get the Mac and cheese instead of the fries and I regret it. The cheese tasted like sauce from a package with only a few green chillies. Pescado Tacos: Cilantro and carrots on top of the tacos were very fresh, however the cod was very fried. Fish also was not fresh at all. Ridiculed Caul: This was probably my favorite out of the meal, however the cauliflower is covered in a lot of oil. Other than that, flavor was there. Overall, the food portions and food items seem too large to be tapas. However I had a great experience at this restaurant! read more

All I can say, OUTSTANDING!!! Food, service, ambiance exceptional! When in town this will be my first stop.

This is a great place for brunch for a New Mexican flare. I had the chicken fried steak with Green Chile sauce, grilled hash browns, and two eggs over easy. Outstanding!! Breading on the steak was minimal and did not over power the steak or sauce. Spouse had the Green chili Bomba. Nice! Service was quick, fast, efficient, and appropriately attentive. Definitely will make this a stop on our future trips through the Las Cruces area. read more

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to this restaurant! I brought my adult children and my nephew to dinner and had fabulous service, absolutely delicious food, and fresh beverages. If you have a hankering for green chile, this is the spot. Our waitress, Alyssa, efficient, courteous, and knowledgeable. She also made us smile. I highly recommend the burgers, I had the Islander and it was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the decor inside immensely. Tables were far enough apart that we could have private conversations. read more

First time coming here last weekend. They have Tapas, vegan dishes, sea food, Burgers and much much more! This menu is overwhelming, so much to choose from front and back. OMG! Our waiter was amazing his name is Adrian ask for him, so pleasant, friendly and attentive. We were greeted very nicely, sat quickly. We always choose outside seating. Food was good. I had a delicious glass of red dry wine, it was recommended by Adrian great suggestion. The wine selection is huge. 100 + wines. I had a very different type of Burger it was delicious! The Brie Burger. A combination of sweet and savory. My husband had Pesto pasta. He enjoyed it as well. We had the calamari it was ok not impressed with those. We will be back, I want to try more of this menu. I recommend it. read more

We ordered two Margaritas - Dolly & a Skinny. Dolly was sooooo over sweetened it was undrinkable. The Don Julio Skinny was even more undrinkable (tart & sour). I told the server that this margarita was way too sweet. (By too sweet, think childrens lollipop rolled in sugar & dropped in simple syrup). Server was immediately annoyed & asked me what I wanted to do. Return it please. So I ordered Soda water & bitters. I then watched the 2-3 servers over my drink rolling their eyes & talking about the situation. Later, she condescendingly asked how my soda water drink was. My cousin couldn't drink her margarita & after their attitude, didn't want to deal with it. Poor review for awful margaritas & worse attitude. How we handle unfortunate situations in business is really important. How we make people feel is even more important. Nachos & shrimp were great. ***Also, it's Restaurant Week & the server had zero mention of the menu or their offerings. Our Skinny Marg gal lives here & brought us here to support local businesses. Might need a team meeting on this one. read more

We've gone here for years and have always loved it. Today, was an exception. They were out of all ground beef so instead of a hamburger, they offered to make me a chicken sandwich. It sounded reasonable. When it arrived, it simply didn't taste right. I took one bite ans opted out. At the end of our meal, the server asked why I didn't eat any of it and I explained it didn't taste right. He brought our check and we paid and were getting ready to leave when the manager came out to apologize. The cook "accidentally" gave me vegan grilled chicken (I'm assuming that hey we're also out of real grilled chicken too). Unfortunately, my daughter's dish was also not the best and the same manager was out talking to a neighboring table, refunding chilaquiles, that looked like they'd already been chewed, put back on a plate and smothered with melted cheese. The food and service has significantly diminished. We likely won't be back. In their defense, they took my meal off the bill. read more
