Mesilla Plaza

This area is worth stopping at if you are in the area. It's a place of American history. There is lots to see and lots to do. There are many small shops and restaurants to eat at. Billy the Kid was arrested in the area and held at the jail here. Los Postas and Andres are a must to eat at. If you don't eat at Los Postas at least go inside and check it out.

If visiting the El Paso are the quaint town of Mesilla is worth stopping at. Absolutely adorable. Hard to spend a whole day there however. A good morning or afternoon (e.g., 2-3 hrs, probably 4 max). Visit the artisan shops, enjoy a relaxing meal, and there was a artisan market on the Plaza when we were there. We stayed in El Paso and spent time there on our way to the White Sands Natilnal Park. The two were a great way to spend a day.

Clean, beautiful, historic, quiet, friendly. Lots of cute shops but not open till after 11AM

Where are the amenities in this area? This entire mesilla area has no shaded parking for travelers with dogs, no public restrooms (while many of the businesses dont have restrooms either), the handicapped parking (full) is located on the only curb without a ramp, and the only drinking fountain in the entire embarrassment is turned off. This is the middle of the desert, 100+ degrees, and Mesilla can't provide any tap water for the tourists to drink? The staff at the big church are also incredible ungodly. As a full-time traveler since 2014, i can confidently say, its not worth going out of your way to visit this area.

Quant small town plaza rich in history. Great place to take in a few steps, doing a little shopping and grab a bite to eat

Interesting church, nice little Jardin, many local shops and stop by Peppers Restaurant, bar and cafe. You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful historic town with great restaurants and, shops, and church. Take your time walking around the town and reading the information!

A must-visit! A great historic little town!
