Salud! de Mesilla

In town from Phoenix Arizona and met family up here....I got the half order of French toast, basically 2 triangles, and although it was really good, I probably won't order it again due to the price. Uncle got the All American which he enjoyed, his wife got the chicken and waffles, she said was OK. My hubby got the smothered burrito which was phenomenal. We also got the mimosa flight, good but strange how they did it, just saying. I can't remember our servers name but he was adorably cute and attentive.

I think this is decently solid 👍. First I should start of by saying that our waitress was fantastic and on top of things. Although the restaurant was somewhat busy, it only took about 10 minutes for our food to arrive, and we were a relatively large group. When I first got my food I wasn't entirely blown away 🤯. The burger itself was kinda mushy on the bottom, almost like the gates of the Atlantic ocean opened upon the poor sponge–like surface of my lower bun. Okay that may have been an exaggeration, but still what I would consider a viable complaint. I really couldn't care less and ate it all the same 😎. The fries were great, just a little salty. Overall this was a decent restaurant that isn't too pricey if you choose the right items. Would recommend overall 👍.

This is a great spot any day of the week for good food, good beer/spirits, and a great laid back and welcoming atmosphere. My wife and I go here at least 2-3 times a month, one of our favorite places to eat. I usually always get the Spicy Hawaiian Burger, and my wife usually gets the Smoked Salmon. I’m not a fish person but my wife swears by it. If you want a place to eat and not be disappointed then this joint is the one for you.

02/08/2025 at approximately 6:00 PM my sister's and I were celebrating birthdays at Salud. We had been here before and had a pleasant time. We sat on the patio because the weather was beautiful and atmosphere relaxing. We ordered alcohol beverages. Our server dropped 2 of the drinks splashing 3 of us with the drinks. That remaining drink that survived was not as ordered. Our shirts and pants were stained from the bloody Mary. She apologized stating she's been doing this for 6-7 years and this had never happened. The food was good but not enough crackers provided with the antipasto so we requested more. We were not compensated or offered a discount and were charged full price for the drinks. It put a damper on the evening and she only returned once to check on us during the time we were there. We requested the heater been turned on so we could dry off and get warm. We were all disappointed with the experience but rallied on to have a good time. We wished she could have made the visit better but it appeared as if she chose to basically laugh us off. I understand accidents happen but her attitude needs a serious adjustment. We were in a hurry to leave and should have spoke to the manager about the incident. Left upset and disappointed.

The brie wontons were delicious. So was the arrachera and eggs. I had the smothered steak, Christmas style. My only complaint is that I ordered my eggs over medium and they came over easy with runny whites 🤢. I sent them back. They cooked the eggs correctly, but it took a long time. My wife was finished with her meal by the time I got mine. Please teach your cooks to cook eggs over medium, and train your servers to know the difference between over easy and over medium eggs.

I really enjoy the tapas and the Sunday Brunch. Excellent service. Annaleigh is a fantastic employee with lots of info about the menu and we always enjoy seeing her. She is an asset to this business! The place is nicely decorated and has an outside seating area/ dog friendly. Relaxing atmosphere with good food!

Took my Mother out for a late birthday lunch at Salud. we had a great time. The food and drinks were delicious, but the best thing was the dessert. we got the Creme Brullee. The sugar crack was perfect, and the dessert itself was light and perfect.

The patio is awesome and has a cool water feature our waiter kept checking on us the mint sweet tea was soo good and the American toast was delicious

The food was unbelievably good. We had 2 different chicken entrees- both were exceptional. "Maybe the best chicken I have ever eaten!" ( said my dinner companion)! Wow- why hasn't all of Las Cruces found this place!! Service was excellent and responsive Ambiance is calm and gracious Love love loved it!!!

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

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!

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.

This is the second time I've eaten here. The food is wonderful and the menu has a great variety to choose from. The service is excellent from the hostess to the wait staff. The busboy/busgirls are very friendly and accommodating. Finally the decor is appropriate. Thanks to all.

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.

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!

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

So Seth our waiter, was just great!! Good egg there, and the food was just perfect. The mimosa bar was just what we needed.

One of the best places for apps and drinks I've ever been to. Order the antipasto plate and the octopus tacos.

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!

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.

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.

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!

My wife, Laura, loves this place for the food, service and ambience. I have also had very good luck here. And we take some treasured friends here when they visit which speaks volumes. Tom S

Ordered bahn mi burger. Frozen preformed unseasoned patties. Supposed to come with pickled vegetables, only had carrots. Burger was completely unseasoned, not even salt, sweet potato fries were cold. We also order the red chile poutine fries. No red chile, duck confit tasted like turkey, and the cheese curds were flavorless. Our server was very kind and did a wonderful job, which is the only reason for the 2 stars, otherwise it would be zero. And to top it off we were given mustard packets and paper soufflé cups. A restaurant that charges $17 for an appetizer can't even be bothered to stock bottles condiments or aluminum cups.

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.

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.

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!

Best service and food! Def a staple in our household to go to every couple months. The Serrano aioli with the fish is soooo tasty. Nice outdoor seating too when it's nice out

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?

I had the chilaquiles they were good. Nice quiet clean place. Our servers was very nice.

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.

Food service excellent highly recommend this place. Great food great service. Nice patio for dog lovers. The sign is a little hard to find because of regulations the cities put on businesses along this way.

Had a quick interaction here when I stopped for lunch with my wife when visiting. We had some tacos and steak with Mac and cheese. The food was wonderful and our waitress Mia was amazing. We ordered a round of drinks and enjoyed every minute of our visit. If you're in the area give this place a try!

We went for the Scotch Tasting. The options were good and the ribs were sweet, according to my son.

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.

Everything was wonderful. Food was delicious. I had the turkey blueberry sandwich. Decor was great. Service was wonderful.

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.

Burgers are great and you can get Mac and cheese as a side which is delicious. I've gotten the tacos before and they aren't as good as they look. They do serve breakfast all day which is awesome too. Unfortunately service was really terrible. She came to our table maybe 3 times total and she came at 9:06 with the bill and wouldn't allow us to order any more beers since they stop servicing alcohol at 9. Would be nice to at least give a warning or ask for more drinks before 9.

My son and I went here for brunch on a Wednesday morning. We were the first ones to get here, but soon more people started showing up. We were seated at their beautiful patio, and our waitress came to check on us right away. I had the breakfast Enchiladas and my son had the All American. I also ordered iced tea, and it was very refreshing because they make it with melon, mint and lime (a must have). The breakfast Enchiladas were delicious and very filling. The green Chile wasn't hot, which I prefer. If you are looking for a place to eat in Las Cruces, I highly recommend this place. Support the locals and have a great meal.

Last night there was a Tequila Tasting, do not hesitate to join the Hernandez's for any tastings they are a class act. They offered a Navajo Taco, not normally served at the restaurant that paired well with our tastes. I would never have found the Gran Coramino Tequila (owned by Kevin Hart) but, it was like drinking a liqueur and who knew that the Don Armando Rustico a mezcal would be such a winner with both my hubby and I? We are so grateful to have been part of this event at our favorite restaurant!

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!

I ate lunch here with three of my friends. Two of my friends ordered the grilled cheese, they were pleased with their order. I ordered the Bánh mi sandwich. I was delighted to see this on the menu. My other friend also ordered this. I have ordered this sandwich across the country and have never paid more than $7 for it. I wasn't sure what to expect considering I would be paying twice the amount. Inflation, I guess...? *shrugs* When I received my sandwich, it showed up on a corn dusted hamburger bun. I asked the server if they had run out of bread. She confirmed that this bread was correct. I was confused. The whole point of the Bánh mi sandwich is that it's a beautiful combination of French and Vietnamese food. It is supposed to be served on a baguette roll. This was inaccurate and out-of -touch. My friend who also received the sandwich had different ingredients in hers. My sandwich was soggy and didn't even have cilantro. I was completely unsatisfied. I am not okay with getting a "vegetarian tax." Since when was meat less expensive than a vegetarian option? Replacing my burger with the vegetarian patty shouldn't cost a quarter of the price of the entire meal. People either love this spot or hate it. The ambiance and decor is "good for Las Cruces." The service was solid. The prices don't reflect the quality of the food. And there isn't any cohesion to the menu.

Really interesting wines. If you don't like spicy you're pretty limited. I got the grilled cheese and it wasn't grilled. Great service but gee. Nice atmosphere

I can't believe we paid $25 with tax for the artichoke chicken that was so peppery it is all we could taste in the chicken and artichoke. Shockingly the frozen and freezer burned carrots, corn and peas had zero seasoning and straight out of the freezer!! They were not even warm when they hit our table. The sauce for the chili pesto pasta wasn't great. The chicken in both entrees was tough. No wonder they served the artichoke chicken with a serrated steak knife. Luckily the chicken on the pasta dish has been cut for us. For two entrees, a lemonade and one margarita, I can't believe we spent $70 before tip. Ate here 18 months ago and couldn't wait to come back because it held good memories. Will never forget back after this terrible meal.

Great vegan burger. Beautiful atmosphere.! I love their penny wall was my inspiration to recycle pennies.

A great lunch or dinner spot. I love their wine slushies during the summer when we are melting from the heat. Great selection of wine and some healthier eating options that can be hard to find.

Solid 4 and a half. We love Las Cruces. Stop here every chance we get. I had the prickly pear margarita. Excellent. Velvet had the Sangria. She said it was wonderful. The star of the night was the brie fried wontons with cranberries and pecans. AMAZING. Never had anything like it. The chef who craeted it hit a home run. I had the green chile pesto pasta. Very tasty. The reason for the half star was the steak add on. Over cooked and somewhat tough. Should have went with the chicken. Velvet had the grown up mac and cheese. She gave it a 5. Service by Toni was excellent. Great venue.

Lovely brunch spot. Provides beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. Everything was speedy and clean, service was great as well. There are vegan options. Our server even accommodated by asking the kitchen which dishes could be altered and served vegan. We ordered a variety of dishes, but the red chile poutine was absolutely phenomenal. The flavors mended together in a way that's unexplainable. The fries were drenched in the duck fat and red chile, topped with thick cheese curds and tender pieces of duck. I would come back here solely for that dish. I also ordered the prickly pear lemonade and bleu & blue burger. The lemonade was the perfect amount of tanginess and sweetness, I prefer lemonades that still hold the lemon flavor while complimented by another. The prickly pear was subtle but a perfect addition to the drink. The burger was interesting, it was recommended by our server so I took a chance with that combo. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the burger a lot. It was drenched in bleu cheese and blueberry aioli, the sweetness and bitterness of both flavors created a balance that made the burger enjoyable. Each burger is paired with french fries (or a substitute for +$4) and a pickle. However, I wish I requested onions on the burger since it seemed to be missing something. There are two(?) gender neutral bathrooms in the restaurant, both private with one toilet and one sink. The atmosphere felt welcoming and it was evident that they make sure to keep everything clean. The bathroom was tidy and even had posters for local events going on in the area. Wonderful experience. Will be back again!

Lively. Friendly. Good food. Gay owned and operated. - down to the Christmas tree. I hope to return!

Service was great, food has gone terribly downhill:/ went with family of 8, only one meal was decent out of everyone. Wouldn't recommend. This used to be our go to restaurant:(

Our friends recommended that we try this place for drinks and Tapas. It was an absolute hit! It is in a great area and the building has tons of character. You feel like you are walking into someone's home and are welcomed immediately. The service is absolutely stellar and we could not have asked for more. We sat in the bar area and enjoyed the dacor and the vibe of the place. There were several regulars at the bar which is always a good sign. We ordered drinks and several items from the Tapas menu and everything was on point! Fresh ingredients, tons of flavor, cooked perfectly. Our server Leonardo took absolute excellent care of us and tried his hardest to talk us into dessert. But we were so stuffed from the delicious food we decided that would have to happen another day. We will most certainly be back on our next trip to Las Cruces

My hiking buddy loves this place and took me here. I was expecting tex mex food but boy was this a pleasant surprise. We ordered the Festival quesadillas to start. They were delicious. I ordered the arrachera bites and the meat was flavorful and tender. My buddy ordered the enchilada brunch which basically is enchiladas with an egg on top. He shared a bite worth me and it was delicious. I might order that next time as his was better than mine. He insisted on the brie wonton. They were the hit. Brie stuffed with honey and nuts topped it off. The coffee was pouring and the wonton were the perfect compliment to a wonderful meal.

The food had a beautiful presentation and was warm when we received it. The food is flavorful and delicious with each bite! I got the artichoke chicken. The service however was below average, the server took a while to come back and we waited for about 10-12 minutes. The patio had great lighting and ambient music while enjoying our meal and conversing. I will definitely be coming back the menu is full of good options.

Food was awesome, staff is very friendly! The waitress was very nice and recommended a delicious wine!

Never again . I ordered for doordash and was very excited to try all this food . I ordered hash browns , oyster mushroom tacos , and fried artichokes . I can't believe whoever is running this place allowed this to even leave the kitchen let alone be delivered . Everything arrived ice cold and hard like it was made three days ago . And everything was burnt to a crisp . I had to get a refund on the entire order as I could test one thing that arrived . Hash browns were frozen in the middle but burnt and chard on the edges . Chokes were black flakes that just crumbled like dead leaves . The mushroom tacos I couldn't even break the corn tortillas with my hands let alone my teeth, the mushrooms were so burnt and dried up I though I was also going to chip my teeth . Completely entire order was un edible I had to trash it all . Wouldn't even feed it to a dog . Never again will I give this place a try

I have Celiac, my father has a meat allergy, and we travel with picky eaters, all of us were able to be accommodated, no problem! Our server, Hector, was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great service. 10/10 would eat here again. It was delicious

My wife and I shared a single Thanksgiving takeout meal from Salud. It was excellent. We do not eat large amounts at a meal so there was enough for each of us on Thanksgiving, and two more meals on Friday, plus my small breakfast this morning. The turkey was tasty and moist, the sides were very good. The photo shows my wife's plate on Thanksgiving. My plate was similar. The two additional meals on Friday probably were a bit smaller, but still plenty for us. (For reference, the plate diameter is almost 9" rim to rim, so maybe it would be referred to as an 8" plate?) This was certainly the best "takeout" holiday meal we have ever had from anywhere.
