Chicken enchiladas with green chile, Spanish rice and refried beans, Mexican catering in Las Cruces, NM

This is the menu that puts New Mexico on the plate: enchiladas under a ladle of green or red chile, tamales, Spanish rice, and slow-cooked beans. Bold, comforting, and built to scale from a backyard party to a full reception hall.

Our chile is the heart of the Mexican menu. We cook both green and red in house and let you choose, or serve them Christmas so guests can have both. It goes over enchiladas we roll the same day we serve them, and it holds heat well, so the spread is just as good delivered to an office as it is set up as a full buffet at a hall or a home in Mesilla.

Enchiladas, tamales, rice, and beans scale beautifully, which is why this menu shows up at so many quinceaneras, birthdays, and big family celebrations around Las Cruces and Dona Ana County. We can keep the chile mild for mixed crowds, serve it on the side, add extra beans or rice to stretch a budget, and put vegetarian plates together on request. Tell us how many you are feeding and we will portion it so nobody leaves hungry.
