Double Eagle
The Double Eagle is located in the oldest building in the plaza of Mesilla, built in the 1840s. The restaurant has a traditional beef aging room to ensure your steak is aged to perfection before hitting the grill. To go with that steak, there is an excellent wine list featuring many wines of New Mexico. Besides steaks, the Double Eagle is known for its fine Sunday brunch. Steaks are moderately priced.

La Posta de Mesilla
La Posta de Mesilla was established in 1939 on the edge of the historic plaza in La Mesilla. Walking in to the eclectic establishment can be an adventure in and of its own. There is a stand-up bar (no stools), a large gift shop specializing in all things chili and several amazing dining rooms. All are housed in a meandering building that has been added on to over the years. La Posta's steaks are good, char broiled and moderately priced. Steak Ranchero is a favorite. Their Mexican food is a definite must-try.

Cattle Baron Restaurant
The Cattle Baron Restaurant is located about 5.7 miles from La Mesilla, but if a good steak is your quest, the Cattle Baron could be the place. They are a steakhouse chain that began in Portales, New Mexico, in 1976, and since then have established various theme restaurants around southern New Mexico and Texas. Beef is their specialty and their steaks are delicious, but they serve outstanding seafood entrees as well.
