This is a type of place that I'd expect to find on Route 66, not on Interstate 10. It has that dive charm, kind of like it's hanging on by a thread. But don't let its look fool you. Dicks is thriving. It has a steady stream of locals, and a few of us tourists giving them plenty of business. Their food of course is driving its success. The servers don't hurt the popularity either. They're on top of their game, and with a smile. The menu sports both American and Mexican fare. They even had bbq muddling up the decision. Bar-B-Q in New Mexico? Hmmm... who knew? Seeing how I'll be in the Tennessee motherland soon, where bbq is an art, I decided to leave that option to the less fortunate. The green chili cheeseburger is what I settled on.Nice choice Alex J. You done good, cause good it was.The burger was thick, juicy and it came with all the fixings. What made the thing fantastic was the green chili. It's kind of like a relish. Extremely flavorful. Check out the picture. I pulled the cheese back so you can see it. Smart move capping the chili with the cheese. It holds it in place. Well, almost. There'll be some dripage, which is cool. It'll drip right on to the fresh cut fries. Oh, get the fries instead of the chips. Drenched fries are much better than limp chips.Quick Tip: Keep an eye out for a stray fly (thus the dive charm moniker) They're hungry too. I caught one sniffing around my chili drips. But I wasn't about to let it munch on any of that green gold. I brushed it away and it flew over to some other plate. Probably wanted to get a taste of some of that New Mexico BBQ.

Just your average run of the mill greasy spoon type place. The service was minimal with a decent salad and green chili burger. Everything was prepped and cooked well but lacked much flavor. Will probably stop by every now and then because it's close to campus and wanting a beer.

Dick's is a hidden gem that has the best green chili cheeseburgers in Las Cruces. The hamburger meat is the most tender and juicy I have ever eaten before. The atmosphere is a classic diner establishment (like Back to the Future movie but a slightly updated look). The staff are all friendly so while you are waiting there is a jukebox to play music or you can sit outside and eat the free chips and salsa. They jar their own fresh salsa which has a great little kick of heat and a jar is $5. They serve breakfast, Mexican, and American Diner food. Highly recommended giving this restaurant a try, and the salsa makes perfect gifts for family or friends!

First, let me say that the service was excellent. And maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but food was very average. I would figure that an independent café, would have a great chicken fried steak, but no. Everyone deserves a second chance, next time I'll go for a burger or maybe Mexican food

My sister brought me here in the 1980s and every time I came to visit because I loved Mexican food. It's been my favorite since I moved here in 1996. It's what New Yorkers would call "a greasy spoon" because there is so much flavor in the food. Famous for New Mexico green or red chili. Ask how hot they are. Very limited menu of only Mexican food/chips/salsa and burgers/fries and sometimes homemade warm chips. They now offer beer.

Not much good to like tonight at Dick's Cafe in Las Cruces, NM on 11/10/23 at 5:00ish.I ordered a hamburger, well done, with green chili, bacon, to include the usual veggies and mustard, fries. What I got...My burger patty was supposed to have been well done but was medium rare, clearly pink and soaked with some juicy stuff. The mustard was at least 1-tablespoon, or a bit more (see pic below), loaded onto the top bun. The green chili was full of juice - what is that about... By the time I picked the burger up, the bottom bun was mush. I asked for a dry bun. When it arrived, the other half of the bun was soggy so I simply discarded the soggy dough and ate what I could of a now open faced burger, half raw. The fries smell of old oil. The bacon didn't taste like bacon, more foreign than just "off"... but it did look like bacon.So what was good about Dick's? The nostalgia of it still existing.A very good a patient server who I still tipped because she did well and it wasn't her fault that the kitchen staff didn't cut the mustard. Another server made sure my table was wiped clean and made sure I had a good tall glass of water. Salsa was great. The chips... no so much. Soggy, poor flavor. The attached pic is what was supposed to be the buns my burger was served on. Instead, the bottom was soggy and mushy, and the top loaded with "a ton" of very wet mustard.No Gem, but a sorry jam of mushy bread. Again, service was great.

No frills, local breakfast was what we were looking for and that's what we got. My omelet was buried in green chilies...way too many to eat. Friendly waitress and endless coffee refills. Unfortunately, I'm a tea drinker and they were out of tea.
