★★★★★ 5.0 Bill Kaforey · Dec 2025

We are traveling cross country and spending the night in Las Cruces. We asked the proprietor of the Inn we are staying at for a recommendation for good Mexican food, she immediately said this is the place to go. The portions were large, quality of the food was great, and our server was fantastic. I love it when the server knows the entire menu and customizations available from memory. Doesn't need to write anything down, and everything comes out perfect. The outside and inside ambience are a must see. Inside, they have large cages with assorted birds, and a couple of fish tanks. The kids and those of us young at heart enjoyed talking to the various birds. The prices are what you'd expect given the inflation we've experienced the past 6 years. Great dining out experience.

We saw the commercial and instantly agreed we should go eat there as it had been many years since we went there. There are so many things to love about this establishment. The history, the famous "ghost", the atmosphere, and of course the delicious food! Our server was amazing and we had a seamless dining experience. Homemade chips and salsa, and the shredded beef tacos were a hit! The bar is amazing as well. They have a gift shop too with souvenirs of your dining experience. Highly recommend!

This is a fun restaurant in a historic building. I really enjoyed my dinner. The staff is friendly and fast. I got a combo plate. Everything was good, but a couple things were too salty. The atmosphere is great. I love this style Mexican restaurant.

​I stopped here for lunch on a road trip from Georgia to California, looking for authentic local flavor. I arrived right at opening with a crowd, and it was worth every second. ​The restaurant is beautiful, very clean, and the service was great. Honestly, this is the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I live in California and eat at a lot of Mexican restaurants, but nothing compares to La Posta. It is a must-stop!

★★★★★ 5.0 Manuel B · Dec 2025

This was a great experience. As we walked in, a talking bird said hello and another one said welcome. That was a first for us. Then we were guided through the restaurant, very well decorated. The waiter was funny and animated. The atmosphere was beautiful. The restaurant was packed. The food was one of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Great experience over all.
