There are currently three Lorenzo's in Las Cruces, and then there is Lorenzo's de Mesilla in Mesilla. The Lorenzo's de Mesilla is owned by the cousin (Lorenzo) of the owners of the Las Cruces Lorenzo's. Personally, I recommend Lorenzo's de Mesilla. The food is great, the atmosphere is great. Outdoor dining year round. Excellent. As for the Las Cruces Lorenzo's,... more

We've been to all of the Lorenzo's in town. The one in Mesilla is owned by a different owner than all of the other Lorenzo's in town, according to a sign on their door. That must by why the food and service is so much better at Lorenzo's de Mesilla (it's just off Hwy 28/ Avenida de Mesilla). We've gone... more

There are several Lorenzo's in Las Cruces and I'm not sure if they are all owned by the same people. You can't go wrong, though, if you go to the Lorenzo's in Mesilla.

I've been to Lorenzo's exactly three times. The first time I waited at least 10 minutes before my drink order was even taken, then another 5 minutes before they took my order. About 30 minutes later I finally got my order. The pasta was soggy and flavorless, and the creme sauce was thin and flavorless (to compliment the flavorless pasta,... more

Very good Italian--I had a fettuccine pesto dish. I will say that it does have big city prices for a small town like Las Cruces; but it's worth it! The bread is great too. I also had a white wine; there is no bar there & they do not have a liquor license so they only serve beer & wine.... more

The Best!

Lorenzo's is always good! Their secret recipe bread is soooo amazing. Oh, and grilled chicken in many of their dishes is the best... fresh, tender, juicy, flavorful. The only down side is I'm sure all my favorite dishes there are high in calories. But it's so worth it to splurge on this once in a while! more

I always take our out of town guests to Lorenzo's and they never fail to love it. The bread alone is worth the trip. The atmosphere is funand attractive, and family oriented. My favorite is the portobello mushroom ravioli. They also have a really decent wine list. more
