Hmmm, if you are from Las Cruces, you've probably eaten at The Hacienda on 
Espina St. -- the world's best (New) Mexican food, IMHO.

Around here, nothing comes even close, but you might try The Sierra Grill.  It 
looks like a hole in the wall, but the food is pretty decent Mexican, if not 
New Mexican.  And yes, their salsa uses chili peppers & is hot!

They are located in Calverton, in the shopping center at the intersection of 
I-95 and Powder Mill Rd.
