Elephant Ranch

What a great, relaxing bar! Too bad it is only open Friday - Sunday. Only the best, top shelf spirits are served here in quality crafted cocktails with various beer and wine options also available. Service is smiling and accommodating. Even on an early Friday afternoon, this place was busy. Still, it must have been the calming babbling from the rustic fountains in the middle of the bar or the amazing La Brujita mezcal in my Oaxacan Old Fashioned that left me with a very relaxed feeling as if I had a large dose of melatonin. Be sure to stop by the market for some spirits or merch before you leave.

Great ambiance, lots of outdoor seating, super friendly staff. Nice family vibe, lots of kids. Good spot for girlfriends to hang out, neighbors to grab a beer, dates, extended families to comfortably get together. Great cocktail menu. We didn't get food so I can't comment on the food truck. It's kind of out of the way, but worth a short trip.The Paloma was perfect for a hot day, bright and refreshing and not too sweet. Served up in a 12 oz cup. Good beer selection, too. Great margaritas. Recommended.

So glad I found this spot! Nice watering hole off the beaten path. There's a huge outdoor area to enjoy some weather and tacos. The bar inside had plenty of seating with good service. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. We tried a few bourbon drinks and tequila/mezcal creations. Top notch! Looks like it may get crowded, but will definitely be back!

The real deal. Inviting, clean, family friendly, quality folks, diverse, interesting and warm clientele, great food truck! Excellent mixed drinks and specialty ingredients with top mixologists. Impressive. Plenty of space and room inside and out, interesting old architecture with generous roomy, very clean restrooms!

We moved to town a month ago and have been desperately seeking a decent margarita for 29 days. The search is over, this is the winner hands down. Found this gem on Yelp and then accidentally crashed a Virgin Galactic private party. If it's good enough for people who drink off planet, it's good enough for those of us stuck on this rock. Cocktails and a food truck and a killer courtyard, what else do you need??? Drink here soon, life is too short to waste your money on bad Las Cruces margs!

don't pay for drinks during music with cash, the waitresses rip u off by not bringing back you're change....................

I really wanted to love this place. The pros: everyone who grew up in Las Cruces knows the old Guacamole's location. The back patio/yard is really cute. The drinks were well-made. The cons: The actual interior of the place is... rustic? It's a vibe, just not sure it's one I'd seek out. The restrooms are in a separate building behind the patio. The big "oh no" is that when I visited (early October 2021) there was (and is still) an indoor mask mandate. NO ONE working there had a mask on, even in the package store next door. It gives me great concern when a place that deals in food and/or beverage doesn't follow public health orders, because it makes me wonder what other health-related rules are being ignored. This is enough, for me, to not want to return.

One of the coolest places in LC. Don't want to over-hype, because I'm selfish and want to keep it to myself!

Love the ambience but two drinks for $32 plus tip makes it $38 for 2 drinks. Sadly the overpriced drinks are served in a plastic cup without any garnishes either. The service was courteous and friendly which was a big plus. Bring a jacket with you because the inside can feel close tot the temperature outside. I like the place but the prices are going to keep me away for what you get in plastic cups with a college bar feel.

I'm from Las cruces, NM and always hit up elephant ranch when I'm in town. Great drinks and the taco truck out front is legit. Get the chile relleno burrito with beans!
