Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}}
Welcome to another edition of Live Love Las Cruces—bringing you fun things to do that you may not have known about.
New Restaurant Coming
On Rinconda Blvd near Arby’s and Wendy’s at Hwy 70 ground has broken finally for the Noodles and Company restaurant. Excited for more food options in Las Cruces! No opening date set yet as far as I could determine but best guess is later this year or early 2026.
Noodles & Company is a fast-casual restaurant specializing in globally inspired noodle dishes, offering everything from classic Italian pastas and Wisconsin-style Mac & Cheese to Asian favorites like Pad Thai and Spicy Korean Noodles. Their menu also includes fresh salads, soups, etc, with each dish cooked to order using fresh ingredients
Kacie shares about it also on Instagram
Changes & Openings
The new Maverick station opened on Avienta de Mesilla and Hickory at the Mesilla Exit off I-10 with RV and Semi pumps. They are redoing and widening Hickory lane to make access easier. So nice not to have the old run down hotel eyesore on this corner.
The Pilot station at Amador at Motel Blvd is under construction and being rebuilt and updated. This should be a really nice stop once they get it finished. Someone mentioned it would be a Buc-ees type experience.
Curators of the Lost Art Scavenger Hunt
Curators of the Lost Art is a self-paced public art scavenger hunt in Las Cruces that features 18 public artworks. The event runs until October 31. Learn More
