A heartfelt thank you for sharing this awe-inspiring video with us! 🎥🌟 The amount of research and passion you've poured into this video and all of your others it is evident. Las Cruces is becoming a true melting pot, attracting talented individuals from every corner of the U.S. The sense of community and creativity in the air is invigorating! Speaking of creativity, the homes in Metro Verde and Sonoma Ranch are a testament to the vision and beauty that Las Cruces offers. These communities are on the rise, and the architectural wonders they boast are a testament to the city's bright future.

Las cruces kota yang indah

The people in Las Cruces were extremely friendly (for the most part) when I was there in 1989-1995. Amazing to see how much the town has grown, esp. off of North roadrunner Parkway!

If you ever go back through cruces I would suggest Andale's and get the enchiladas. Also if you like Apple pie there's the apple barn heading towards Cloudcroft. There's also a burger place in Las cruces that's currently escaping my memory that's really good.

Dont Come to Las Cruces! The crime is bad and the robbers target out of state cars to break into. We have had vehicals stolen and broken into multiple time in the last 2 months in just my neighborhood alone. Which is a small quiet neighborhood. And people break into vehicals while your eating in the restaurants.

You need to collect your data about restaurants in a more operations research manor and eliminate different regions because people get really offended when you or people try to localize stuff and you get it wrong.

Boy, you really are on a mission aren't you. I see your comments on all the New Mexico videos. 'm sorry you had a bad experience in the state, and that you feel the need to bash it. New Mexican style restaurants dominate the landscape because there is a demand for them. Simple as that. Especially from tourists like the people in this video. Nothing about their reaction to the food in this video indicated to me that they thought it was "gross," but hey, you're entitled to your opinion. There are plenty of non-New Mexican restaurants in Las Cruces, and also many American fast food chains, so I don't really understand your food "got boring" comment. Maybe the town just wasn't big enough for you? Whatever the reason, I wish you well. I will think about you next time I'm eating a delicious green chile cheeseburger in Las Cruces!! Not.
