Believe it or not, even after all this time, so many people still ask us… “Who is Madelyn?” 💕

Madelyn is our 3-year-old only granddaughter, and naming our restaurant after her has been one of the best decisions we could have made. Her name has brought so much character, charm, and charisma to this beautiful place we’ve created in Mesilla.

Since opening in October 2024, we have been incredibly blessed by the amazing support from our community and visitors. We are so happy to have grown tremendously in such a short time!

If you haven’t been to Madelyn’s yet, now is the perfect time to visit. The entire property is in FULL BLOOM with gorgeous mature flowers everywhere, and our guests are always in awe when they arrive. We truly feel blessed to share such a beautiful property with all of you.

The misters will soon be on to keep things cool and comfortable, and of course we ALWAYS have Live Music Thursday through Sunday! 🎶

We are also now open until 8:00 PM on Mondays, and beginning June 1st, we’ll be featuring LIVE country music every Monday evening! 🤠🎸

Come by, relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and experience everything Madelyn’s has to offer. We can’t wait to see you! 🌸
