We’re proud to share this issue’s sponsor: Madelyn’s in Mesilla
Madelyn’s in Mesilla is the place to be!
With beautiful weather, blooming flowers, and three inviting patios, it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy live music in the afternoon or evening.
Our full bar has all your favorite drinks, and if you haven’t tried our pizza yet, now’s the time—made from scratch and often called the best in town.
Don’t forget about our incredible desserts, with our bakers creating everything from cream puffs and crème brûlée to tiramisu, cheesecake, lemon meringue pie, and so much more.
Conveniently located across from the Fountain Theatre, we invite you to come experience what Madelyn’s is all about.
Be sure to check out our website for the full menu and live music lineup!
