Chala's Wood Fire Grill

Pretty sure the foodgasm made people feel uncomfortable! The sausage sandwich is, by far, the best thing I've put in my mouth, in a very long time! The fries are crispy and damn near perfect!!! Service is freaking ON POINT! I'm so happy my fellow Yelp peeps pointed me in this direction! Everyone has been so kind and amazing. I swear every single person here has stopped to chat and just been so freaking nice! I love when flying solo, people make time to chat! This is a must !

This place was a local find while in town. Very homey feel inside with cute flowers decorating the table. Our server was well versed on all the menu options and informed us on the specials. I got a strawberry marg which was good but a bit sweet for me. We also got the mimosa flight which was great and refreshing. The loaded fries were great for an appetizer (we got a half order). The cuban sandwich was smokey with a great depth of flavor from the mustard. My hubby got the pork chop with grilled kale which was insane. So tender and juicy and smokey at the same time. Also took some tres leches to go, the salted caramel combination was fabulous.

Hard to rate when you find something in your food that shouldn't be there! Stepping inside I was put off by the strong smell of cleaner like Lysol. Place was clean but I'd rather not smell such a strong chemical smell in a restaurant. I stayed because the reviews are high. I got a burrito with chorizo, chile and potato and it was very tasty. I was planning to come again but then found something inside my burrito that isn't food! See photo. Yesterday was Halloween and it looks like something from Halloween that melted. Ugh! Coffee was not good. Service was good.

Chala's was recommended by our hotel staff so we decided to try it. We ordered their pork chop special. It was very thick-cut bone in pork chop, very juicy and delicious. It came with potatoes and vegetables. Their steak fajita was really tasty too. Very juicy cut of steak with all the fixings; perfect with flour tortilla. Save room for dessert because their tres leches cake was really tasty and it was big enough to share between the two of us and then have leftover. Enjoy! Highly highly recommend!! We will be back when we're back in town.

Awesome service, good drinks and tasty (if unspectacular) food. Very clean and well run. Nice spot for a meal.

A Mesilla hidden gem, Genuinely top notch spotClass & casualPrices too low to Believe it's true, cocktails for $6, full tap. The food was phenomCame w/ chips & salsa, Choices are A la cart-aDecor was tasteful,Modern & minimalist, Staff was attentive.

This place was well worth the stop. I was interested in several items off the menu, yet after taking the waiters advice I was stoked!!! Seriously this pork chop was unbelievably delicious!! It's brined and smoked and then seared and is full of flavor. It was cooked to perfection and absolutely a delight to eat!! I licked that damn plate clean!! I will stop here the next time I am driving through!

Oh ye gods and little fishes, do I recommend this place! I used to live in Las Cruces, and there were only two or three places we'd go for Mexican food. One closed (turned out it moved, but we haven't been to their new location), dropping our preferred places to two. Then my wife learned of Chala's and we tried it.Proverbial love at first bite.Excellent chips and salsa, then our food arrived. And it just got better from there. The salsa is perhaps a bit on the hot side for some tastes.I'm not going to talk about specific dishes, as everything we've had there was simply excellent. I will mention their burger, photo attached, which was amazing. I did speak with the owner/mother of the chef, we had a great conversation about how the restaurant operates and how everything is made fresh - including baking the burger buns in-house!Great food, we're semi-regulars - only semi as we live 90 minutes away. Do expect your food to take a little bit of time coming out, this is not a fast service restaurant.

The Green Chile Smoked Sausage Burritos was, literally, the single best sausage I have eaten in my 63 years. And that includes touring through Germany. They are made/smoked in-house.

The food is delicious, service great and most of the ingredients are prepared there, the bacon was so good we even purchased 1lb to take home.
