Welcome to our BeLocal guide to the city of Las Cruces. My name is Tamera, and I'm your community connector.

We're so grateful that folks across the city shared their hidden gems and local favorites so you can feel right at home. Whether you're looking for a veterinarian or the best authentic New Mexican cuisine, you'll find it here! Dentist? Daycare? Hiking trails? We've got you covered!

As you get settled in your new space, keep the Frame & Art Center in mind for framing artwork. Owners Brenda and Ean will gladly help you navigate their framing center and art store, which has been locally owned for 20+ years. For reliable plumbing services, the folks at Metal Craft Co. have been serving the Mesilla Valley since 1963, and there's a reason they're the oldest plumbing company in town: locals love them.

We also want to know your favorites! Be sure to follow us on social media @BeLocalLasCruces !

Welcome to Las Cruces, we're happy to have you.
