La Patrona Mexican Food gets Restaurant A liquor license after waiver
Summary
La Patrona Mexican Food LLC received approval for Restaurant A Liquor License No. BLA-0000018561 after the council granted a required waiver when the application’s distance to a church was recalculated. Applicant representative Carlos Labato described the venue as family friendly and stated the license is for on-premise consumption only.
The Deming City Council granted a waiver and approved a Restaurant A liquor license (No. BLA-0000018561) for La Patrona Mexican Food LLC on June 16, 2026.
Clerk Karen Reed explained the original application did not disclose the correct distance to a nearby church; re-measurement showed the proposed location was within 300 feet and required a council waiver before a license could be approved. Carlos Labato, CPA for La Patrona, told the council the restaurant will be family friendly and said, “The license is only for consumption; alcohol cannot leave the establishment. They want a great place for everyone to enjoy.” With no public opposition and no council questions recorded, Councilor Catherine Gutierrez moved to grant the waiver and then to approve the license; both motions passed on unanimous roll-call votes.
The minutes record only the application number and the council’s approval; they do not list conditions or hours of sale. The city clerk’s file and state Alcoholic Beverage Control records should include the full license conditions and any required local restrictions.
