    I've been waiting for this one to open for quite some time now. So as soon as I heard about the grand opening we had to get out and try it. Las Cruses is the latest brainchild of restauranteur Aaron Burgau. It lived up to our expectations. I started out with a House Margarita. We had the tortilla chips and exceptionally delicious salsa brought to the table as soon as we sat down. Mmm... the House Margarita was very good, and did I mention the chips and salsa? Wow! Best Salsa I've had in a long time. I probably could have made a meal out of the chips and salsa and had another margarita, but the menu was calling me to order more. The menu was small but very diverse with offers of Fajitas, and Carne Asada that was a hanger steak. I'll probably order that next time with a few sides and split it with Charla. But Charla ordered the Two Soft Taco Meal with a side of grilled veggies, and I ordered the 3 Enchiladas. Beef, Chicken, and Cheese. The food arrived promptly and was served with a smile. My Enchiladas were delicious but the one thing I found tasty was the rice and beans. There are so many restaurants that ruin the meal with off-tasting beans and rice. Charla made a meal out of her two chicken tacos that were also cooked to perfection. So, I was able to eat her sides of beans and rice. I probably could just get the beans and rice and make a meal of that. That's how good it was. Outdoor seating is an option. There is a large bar for those that would like to partake in cocktails and a large grass area outside for your kids to run around and play. So over all they raise the bar for TexMex in the New Orleans area. We will be back. I must try that Hanger Steak Carne Asada. Oh, I almost forgot. Get the bread pudding for dessert. It's delicious. Charla does not eat bread pudding, but she ate this one.

    Went to a party and it was in there party room. They had a taco bar with fajita chicken and shredded beef , rice and beans and all the fixings. All the food was delicious. Also served margaritas and water. Staff was very polite and accommodating. Great place for a party. Will definitely go back and have dinner.

    We had been waiting to try this new restaurant since we heard plans of it being opened by the folks at Central City BBQ. I must say the food was very good and portions were generous (we had the fajitas and burrito). I enjoyed the pork which had a great smoky flavor. The owner was present and they were asking for feedback every time they stopped by the table…they were truly trying to get honest feedback to improve since they recently opened. I would definitely be back.

    We loved this place. Its new, we understood there would be a wait, the food WAS SOOOOOO WORTH the wait. 5 stars. My friends and I will definitely be back - only downside is the crazy way people park on both sides of the street for the gym making it basically a one way road in and out the parking lot.

    It's been open for about a week so far, so be nice and patient with the staff and service- they're human still. The staff was super friendly, efficient, and checked on our table enough to make us feel like we were noticed without being overkill. I got the Taco Salad (add chicken) and it was a very big size for the price :) It's bright in there, so you can't hide from the lighting if you're not feeling cute! I'll be back ✔️

    The quality of the food was terrific! All staff encountered were friendly and helpful. The owner was kind enough to stop by our table and ask how our experience was going. Happy to have a locally owned Tex Mex option in Old Metairie.

    Great food with the family yesterday! Chicken Nachos yum! Tortilla soup, enchiladas and soft tacos sooo good. Service was awesome, friendly & professional.

    I don't want to go into alot of details but I will say we enjoyed the food and Mr. Marc deserves an extra 5 stars for helping me out with an unfortunate event that happened. Even though it ended up being nothing related to them Marc took the time to make sure we enjoyed our lunch and left safe!!

    Family friendly dining with excellent steak fajitas and delicious smoky pinto beans that may become the reason why you keep going back. Our waitress, Marissa, took the chaos of our 3 and 1 year old in stride. We met neighbors and our kids had a pack of friendly children to explore the kids area with. A great Friday all around.

    Awesome food and great customer service. Went to dine with my family on Tuesday night. Had 16 of us for a family event. Started off with nachos and some guacamole. They were delicious. Then had some steak fajitas, which were out of this world. For cocktails we all mostly ordered the margaritas. They were outstanding. Which impressed me the most was the great service we had. Marissa was our server she was outstanding from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. Gary(manager) came over to table and asked how things were and was great. If he treats every table like he treated us, then no wonder why they were packed. I had 4 birthdays at my table and he was on top of his game making sure they got there birthday Tres leches. Which was also outstanding. My family and I will be returning. I would recommend to all.

    I was in the area and starving and found this new gem that just opened a couple months ago. The food is incredible. I had the steak and chicken fajitas. They were cooked perfectly with peppers and onions, rice and beans. Every bite was soooo good. The chips came out warm, and I really enjoyed their salsa. The frozen house marg was amazing. We also had the chicken burrito stuffed with rice and beans and covered in cheese and sauce. It was huge and delicious. The portions are large. We took half home for dinner. Ask for Meghan. She took great care of us. The vibe is really good with lots of TVs to watch sports and a cool bar!!!

    The staff and owners are one of the friendliest in the city. Prices are very fair and the fact that they mix smoked meat and Mexican together makes everything amazing! We would recommend it to anyone and would definitely come back.

    I was more than pleased from the moment I walked in the door. It was Wednesday evening at peak dinner hours. We were a walk in table of 3, and got seated right away. Allison provided amazing service, and knew the answer to every question I had about the menu and restaurant. The manager, Kenny, let me sample a signature cocktail! Did I mention how great the setup is? Bar and cocktail tables in front, then huge dining room in the back. There was so much I wanted to try on the menu, I will go back soon. I recommend the chicken enchiladas, and mezcal Negroni to drink.

    Been here several times, and always have a great experience! We love our bartender, Allison M! And the owner always greats us! Delicious food. Paloma and margaritas are top notch!
