It’s worth the trip to Paisano Café in Old Mesilla for Latin-inspired dishes like pescado poblano and chiles en nogado. We recommend the chicken enmoladas: enchiladas smothered with your choice of mole sauce.
DO Locals have been raving about the Las Cruces Farmers and Crafts Market since 1971, but the secret’s out. Every Wednesday and Saturday from sun up to early afternoon, more than 300 local farmers and artists of nearly every discipline congregate on Main Street for one of the top rated markets in the country. Browse handcrafted baskets, ceramics, and jewelry, or fill a tote bag with fresh produce.
RELAX With abundant sunshine in Las Cruces—nearly 350 days a year— the new resort-style heated pool and palm-shaded patio at Hotel Encanto beckon. This luxe spot’s 204 rooms are tastefully appointed with Spanish and Mexican Colonial touches, plus modern amenities like free Wi-Fi. Cap off your night at the hotel’s posh Azul Ultra Lounge.
