La Posta, A Restaurant Rich in Food, Margaritas, and History

Tom Hutchinson, owner of La Posta restaurant in Mesilla, talks about how the eatery is a destination for visitors and locals wanting to literally taste history with food and drink. He describes how La Posta began with Katy Griggs Camunez and how she developed and placed it on the map through her character, larger than life personality, and treating everyone who sat down to the traditional “New Mexico” Mexican food recipes served since its beginnings in 1939.

Hutchinson also discusses his other restaurant and hotel, Hacienda de Mesilla, and its brushes with fame.
