Caliche's Frozen Custard ~ New Mexico chain : Las Cruces


First visit: May 2023 (Las Cruces - Roadrunner Pkwy)

Locations: 5 (3 in Las Cruces, 1 in Alamogordo, and 1 in Roswell).

Got ahead of myself here. Before going to Lorenzo's, when we first arrived in Las Cruces, we decided an ice cream treat would be in order. Caliche's showed up quickly on our app and off we went. Caliche's was founded in 1996 in Las Cruces by renovating an old burger place and converting it to a frozen custard stand. They even admit that "concretes" were a new concept for the area, much more known in the Midwest. They offered sundae's and other large treats. But if you just wanted to try the custard and one mix-in, it doesn't appear they offer that. We don't have the appetite to eat large meals with a Blizzard like dessert, so we each settled on 2 scoops of simple custard - chocolate and vanilla. Excellent flavors for both, though I could have used a little espresso syrup :-)

Caliche's goes for the 50s retro look. You can walk-up (always love that option, which is what we took advantage of) or use the drive through. They also have hot dogs and turkey sandwiches if you're hungry for more than dessert. Neat place that we'd be certain to go to again if in the area.
