Dine & Spirits

Humble towns like Old Mesilla have recently become all the rage and are now favored by people around the world as preferred vacation spots. Old Mesilla has its own unique draw with local roots dating back to the early 1800s. Part of its appeal can be traced to the small-town dining experience. Whether it’s the array of flavors, home-style cooking or friendly staff, there is plenty to love about Old Mesilla dining.

Among adobe brick architecture,
viga and tin ceilings, foodies can dine where outlaws sat plotting their next getaway or enjoy a glass of wine in a room accompanied by ghosts. If this is your cup of tea, Old Mesilla is sure to suit you.

With a variety ranging from toasted corn tortillas filled with frijoles and red chile con carne topped with lettuce tomatoes and cheese, to the only dedicated beef ageing room in New Mexico, and homemade green chile posole to freshly brewed coffees and pastries, there is always something to satisfy your Southern New Mexico food kick.
