TOGETHER WITH

Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}}

We have been enjoying this beautiful weather and getting a lot of projects done, how about you? I would like to place my order now for more of these days 🙂

Best view in the country: Las Cruces KOA Holiday on Weinrich Road was voted Campground with the Best View in RVshare's 2026 "Campies," thanks to its hilltop views of the Organ Mountains and the Mesilla Valley. Read more from RVBusiness

New trail open: The City of Las Cruces cut the ribbon Nov 10 on the South Main Trail, a new multi-use segment from Main Street to Union Avenue, with plans to extend it to University Avenue. See the City's post

Locals are loving Moca House Deli: This deli at 1605 S Solano Dr is winning fans with its lamb gyro, falafel plates, chai and baklava. "They have the best falafel I've ever tried," wrote Rachel, and Axel said "Prices are veeeery reasonable and the portions are big!" Save room for the dessert counter, or try a pistachio iced coffee or the Dubai chocolate cake. Open daily 8 am – 8 pm. See the reviews or visit their Instagram.

Food Truck Heaven at Lowe's: Some of the best food I've had lately came out of a little truck parked at the Lowe's on North Main. Sazón de Abuela serves home-style Mexican comfort food like burritos, birria tacos, enchiladas, gorditas and breakfast burritos, and I was so impressed I had to share it with you. Google reviewers give it a perfect 5.0. One called it "hands-down one of the best hidden gems around," with food "just like something your abuela would make," and another summed it up: "this is the spot for burritos." Find them in the Lowe's parking lot at 3200 N Main St, Tuesday – Friday, 7 am – 2 pm. No website, just follow them on Instagram and Facebook. See the reviews Check their Menu
