This is a historically preserved restaurant property with unique features, located in the Mesquite Historic District and the Arts and Cultural District of Las Cruces. The original structure was built in 1940 and has been restored with attention to detail. Unique elements include original light fixtures above the gas fireplace, renovated and restored original windows, and enhancement of the original stone. The entire internal and external electrical system has been upgraded to full commercial grade. Internal and external lighting packages have been upgraded and offer dimming capabilities. A full-scale state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, bar, and walk-in wine closet were constructed in 2020. Separate HVAC systems are in place for the dining area and kitchen areas, and the wine rack system has its own mini-split cooling system. An extensive equipment inventory is offered with the property. In 2023, an extensive expansion of an outdoor patio space and bar added almost 1000 square feet of space under the roof, with lighting options, drainage, outdoor heaters, and outdoor cooling and vent systems. Both the interior and exterior areas have a sound system. Additional land area can be converted for additional private event space or dining areas, and a residential apartment allows for creative use of space. An 8 ft X 10 ft cellar in the main building and covered storage behind the residential apartment offer additional storage space. The property sits in the original southerly pass of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro and due east of the revitalized Main Street Downtown District, with ease of access and centralization off of major streets and roadways. The location is at the front doorstep of Klein Park and directly adjacent to the "Bean" coffee shop and La Nueva Casita Cafe. The property size is 3234 square feet.
