Crema's Take

“Moongate Cafe is a beloved mom-and-pop diner in Las Cruces that punches way above its unassuming appearance with genuinely delicious breakfast and Mexican food, plus the kind of warm, character-filled service that keeps families and regulars coming back. The menu is generous and the kitchen is accommodating with special requests, making it an ideal spot to linger over hot coffee and huevos rancheros on a weekend morning. Just don't expect a pristine space—this hole-in-the-wall trades polish for authenticity and flavor.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great out of the way place to eat. Menu features everything from Burgers a day Fries, to Breakfast and even he cooked Mexican food. Don't blink. It's easy to miss. Just don't mistake it's small footprint with poor food and or service. Wait staff is great, and very personal.…
