"We stopped in on a whim around 1 pm on a Saturday. There’s a ton of parking behind the cafe. You seat yourself and then a waiter will come by. Food was great and everything tasted fresh, all at a fair price. Highly recommend the rolled enchiladas and chili rellenos. The taco salad and bean/cheese burrito were ok. Staff were polite and everything came out quickly. Our waitress kept our chips and drinks full! Restaurant was very clean. There is a surcharge for credit, so grab cash before you visit."

"Here are two versions — you can pick the one that fits best: La Nueva Casita Café is my go-to spot for Mexican food in Las Cruces! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and comforting. The green chile is amazing, and the staff treat you like family. La Nueva Casita Café captures the true flavor of New Mexico with its authentic, homemade Mexican dishes. The food is perfectly seasoned, the portions are generous, and the warm hospitality makes the experience even better. A must-visit for anyone craving genuine local cuisine in Las Cruces! ---"

"Thanks to fellow google reviewers we found this place while on our road trip and it was delicious !!! Very friendly staff and very quick service and the place was packed !! I had the cheese enchiladas (Christmas version)! Hot sauce was HOT and YUMMY as were the chips !!"

"I am not New Mexican. I’m Californian and more specifically Angeleno. However I have had red and green chile across New Mexico over the past 20 years and the chile here stands out. It’s salty and if I were preparing it I’d use less salt. But it is delicious nonetheless. I also enjoyed a plate of huevos rancheros. The chips and salsa that come before the meal are also fantastic The place also brings the vibes in terms of interior design and music. Open since 1957!!!"

"Went for the first time today and was pretty blown away by the food and the service. We went after the lunch rush so we didn’t really have to wait, and our food came out in less than 10 minutes. The free initial chips and salsa were great, and the guacamole was so tasty. I got the huevos compuestas plate with both the red and green chile, and this is the only place that I could say that the red is better than the green. I usually prefer green, but the red had just the perfect amount of heat and flavor. The eggs were also cooked to a perfect over medium. My partner got the chorizo con huevo with flour tortilla. The tortillas came out fresh and hot, it tied the meal up perfectly. We also got the French toast… and it was easily the best French toast either of us have ever had. Our waitress was amazing and so attentive. She made our experience great. We will be back in the future, especially for the red chile and the French toast. Looking forward to what else they have to offer."
