CASUAL, UNPRETENTIOUS PLACE TO DINE WITH VERY GOOD NEW MEX CUISINEFor the total dining experience La Nueva Casita is ranked number six (6) out of over sixty Mexican restaurants in the Las Cruces area. Located in the Old Mesquite District just east of the downtown area the restaurant is bright and clean inside with heavy wood furniture and sort of a rustic look to it. Nothing fancy, it is just fine for casual dining. La Nueva Casita Cafe is well regarded for its friendly and helpful staff. The service is always efficient and pleasant. I find this a relaxing and pleasant place for a meal.The menu is essentially New Mex cuisine: rolled enchiladas, smothered burritos, chile rellenos, tacos and flautas. They do offer menudo on weekends. They also offer horchata. The menu is not as extensive or creative as some but they offer most of the basics. The prices are some of the best around; the food is always well worth the money.Unlike some places La Nueva Casita is always willing to work with you making adjustments to the way your meal is prepared. The customer always comes first in this restaurant.The chips arrive in a little metal bucket and they are firm and very good. The salsa is quite good with a little heat. It has won awards in the past.The smothered chile con carne burritos, both green and red, are among the best, the fideo cup you can get if you don’t want refried beans is a good option, the calabacitas (yellow squash, zucchini, corn, and onion) is delicious. The guacamole is good but not outstanding. Their omelettes are good but I do not care for the hash browns. Their TACOS ESTRELLAS come in three soft tortillas filled with a deliciously seasoned combination of shredded pork and beef. The meat has a nice char on it. The chile rellenos are quite good and the chimichangas filled with chile meat are good as well.What you can expect if you go: A casual, comfortable, rustic kind of dining area with very friendly and efficient service, and great prices. The food is high quality New Mexico cuisine across the board. The heat level can be high. The food at La Nueva Casita is often better than places rated higher because of atmosphere and ambiance.MEXICAN FOOD RATING = FOURTH BEST IN TOWN….ONE OF THE BEST.Restaurant rating = FOUR-AND-A-HALF STARS……meaning good to excellent.
Nice staff, pretty good food. We ate here for lunch the other day and enjoyed it. I had huevos rancheros and my girlfriend had chili rellenos. The red chili sauce that we got was delicious but the green tasted watery. Pretty good food, very friendly staff, nice atmosphere.
