Mesilla, NM - the historic neighbor of Las Cruces - was a delightful discovery. The town square felt more like Mexico than the US, and fittingly is home to La Posta de Mesilla - one of the oldest Mexican restaurants this side of the border. We had dinner in the sprawling 1840s adobe. Most of the buildings in the area are adobe, looking as though a piece of Santa Fe broke off and landed in the south of the state. The following morning we had excellent coffee and breakfast at The Bean Cafe.
Charming town. So glad we stayed there.
