LAS CRUCES – The 14th Taste of Las Cruces will return Thursday with over 20 local restaurants bringing some of their signature dishes to benefit Casa de Peregrinos’ mission of ending hunger.
Rotary Clubs of Las Cruces will host the event beginning at 6 pm May 12 at the Las Cruces Convention Center. All kinds of local restaurants and eateries will be set up offering attendees a taste of their signature items, highlighting what makes Las Cruces cuisine so special.
