    A genuinely first class experience! Our server Naomi was simply excellent, and the dining room has to be seen to be believed - wonderful - eating in luxury surrounded by history. It would be easy for the food to take second place but it doesn’t. Good choice, high quality ingredients, well cooked & beautifully presented. We felt that we had had a real treat. Thank you Naomi & everyone at Double Eagle!!

    What a pleasant surprise. Johnny was our server. He knew every bit of the menu and made great suggestions. The steak tacos were outstanding. We had the carbonara and the salmon. Both were impressive. Dessert was the Mexican cheese cake with caramel and brûlée. Unforgettable. This is a real city wide gem for Las Cruces.

    Everyone was kind and attentive from the moment we walked through the door. Even the manager stopped at our table to make sure we were cared for and were enjoying our meal.
