Favorite Restaurants Poll Results

The Poll in last Friday’s issue, “What Restaurant do you think was mentioned the most in our Welcome Survey?” was fun. The majority of you picked La Posta as you can see from the results below. I would have picked La Posta too 😀 but the result is that it came in 5th place.

You should have been redirected to this page to see the results from the welcome survey. Your favorite restaurant was really a close tie between Si Señor Restaurant and Andeles Restaurant. In fact there was only a vote or two difference between the two.

The Poll sparked some interesting comments too!

Thanks for participating that was fun. All of the top 10 restaurants are some of our best in Las Cruces and personally I enjoy each of them for what they offer. How about you?

Sure am glad you are here! Thanks for joining us!
