La Posta’s authentic dishes are made from century-old recipes handed down to us from the Fountain, Chavez and Griggs families. Now one of the oldest and most recognized restaurants in the Southwest (opened in 1939), La Posta de Mesilla still offers its traditional hospitality, fine food and spirits to all who wander here.
New Mexican restaurant in an 18th century stagecoach station also features a piranha tank & aviary.

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!

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.

Great atmosphere. Beautiful decorations. Looks like I’m dining in Mexico. Great food. Main reason I only gave 4 stars because they barely gave us any chips. When it ran out, they didn’t refill the chips. They also only gave Red Chile Salsa, no Green Salsa Sauce.

⭐️ A Timeless New Mexican Classic in Historic Mesilla – Great Food, Atmosphere & Western Vibes
I stopped in Mesilla, New Mexico while driving from Tucson to El Paso, and this little historic town immediately felt like stepping straight into the Old West. Mesilla is famous for its Billy the Kid history, adobe architecture, and beautiful central plaza — and right in the heart of it sits La Posta De Mesilla, one of the most unique restaurants I’ve ever visited on the road.
I found free street parking just a short walk from the main plaza and headed inside. The restaurant is designed in a traditional New Mexican style, with warm adobe walls, colorful décor, and several hidden rooms and hallways that almost feel like you’re exploring an old hacienda or a Western movie set. I grabbed a seat at the wooden bar in one of the side rooms, and the service was friendly, fast, and welcoming from the moment I walked in.
I ordered a beef steak plate with beans and salad, plus fresh chips and salsa. Everything tasted great — hearty, flavorful, and clearly made fresh. The restaurant was completely full during my visit, which says a lot about the quality and consistency. For a moment I could imagine Billy the Kid himself sitting at the bar with his crew, enjoying the same lively atmosphere.
After eating, I continued exploring Mesilla: the Billy the Kid Gift Shop with its iconic mural, the historic church, and the main plaza. Everything in the area was clean, peaceful, and worth a visit.
If you’re passing through southern New Mexico, La Posta De Mesilla is a must-stop for great food and an authentic Western experience.

This place has been here a long time because it’s the best ever. My husband’s grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins have enjoyed meals here. We finally made it here. Best ever. Fresh chips, tasty salso, very good margarita on the rocks, a coco loco, chimichanga and crispy shredded beef tacos. Our server was pleasant. This place is a national culinary treasure!

What a great meal we had. We both ordered combo plates to get a taste of everything. All of it was good, especially the pork chili. The only thing we didn’t like was that everyone was seated In a small, very warm room, when the main room was mostly empty. We would definitely go back here for dinner.
