Taqueria Jalisco has improved drastically since my last updated review…read more The Mexican restaurant is not quite where it was when I first reviewed them. The food is better. But they received their liquor license again a while back. Service really has improved... maybe the really young waitresses check on us a bit too much now. Lol. Their cleanliness has improved too. A family-friendly restaurant for sure - just not my favorite in Hobbs anymore.

Rancho Grande - as Yelp currently has it titled - is actually called Jimenez Rancho Grande…read more This Mexican restaurant is not on the main roads going into Lovington, NM, so folks unfamiliar with this area will sorely miss out if they don't already know about it. I'll get to my CONS out of the way: - limited hours on Saturdays & Sundays (6:00 AM - 2:00 PM) - credit card fee of 3.5% and I did NOT see this posted at the register - No buffet on Saturdays - chips and salsa are NOT complimentary ($6.99) My daughters and I came here for lunch for a girls day out before Mother's Day 2026 since we were spending time with family on Sunday. My dish: Tacos a la Parilla ($14.99 for 3 soft tacos with grilled brisket, guacamole, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes) served with rice and beans. Absolutely delicious. I would get this again. My oldest daughter also had a brisket taco plate ($14.99) but the crispy variety without jalapeno or pico de gallo. My youngest daughter opted for a cheeseburger ($13.89) with fries ($2.00). If those weren't fresh hand-cut fries I would be surprised. They were yummy. Slightly crisp. Not too oily. The burger I would have eaten all by myself with its buttery fluffy buns. This is a close first place for burgers in Lovington with Lazy 6 being its competition. Their horchata was divine ($4.25 × 2). My youngest was happy with her sweet tea ($3.75). Loved the vibes inside. The ceilings and lighting fixtures were very interesting. Not overly decorated. Good Mexican music playing at a good decibel. All of the staff members we interacted with were friendly. Restrooms and parking were good. I'll be a repeat offender.

Our waitress came on over right away and dropped off menus and took our drink orders. We had two horchatas. We decided to pick from the menu and not go with the buffet they offer for lunch. The buffet in my opinion did not look fresh and did not have enough options. I ordered a chicken tostada and the flautas entree, while my friend ordered a smothered chicken chimichanga. My chicken tostada was soggy by the time it made itself my way. It was loaded with beans, chicken, lettuce, and some other toppings so it broke when I picked it up. My chicken flautas were plain and just missing flavor. My friends chimi was superr salty and so she decided not to eat it. Our drinks sat empty for sometime and when we looked for our server she was sitting at a booth talking to what seemed her friend. So I waved her down to get some refills. The horchata was pretty good!! We needed boxes and she never came back to us so so we grabbed the ones from the buffet line. Food wasn't all that great and the service was ehhh..

Burrito Beast is a delicious new Mexican grill in Hobbs, NM…read more They recently opened on February 4, 2026. This restaurant took over the old Mail Services building which I was sad to see go, but this is a very welcome restaurant in this small town indeed. Imagine a much more hip version of the chain Chipotle or the now closed down Freebirds World Burritos in Lubbock, TX. The set up is similar. Start on the left side when you walk in and just tell the crew what you want. Pay at the end of the line at the register before dining in or taking your order to-go. They have breakfast burritos, build your own burritos, bowls, salads, quesadillas, tacos, and "Beast Bags" which entais your choice of Doritos, Hot Cheetos, Tostitos, Takis, or Fritos. You can add your choice of meat, beans, queso, lettuce, pico, shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream. Kids meals were available. A chicken taco was $9.99 and a chicken quesadilla - the same price. They include a drink. The inside is adorned with colorful murals of humanized burros... some folks might refer to them as donkeys. I really like Dante "Doc" Rios's work! (He's from Lovington!) Small and large tables for indoor dining only. There is a small parking lot on the south side of the building and a drive-through on the other. Restrooms were available. My burrito was a bit much for me so I have about half of it for leftovers. But my daughter's on the other hand, devoured their entire lunch on Valentine's Day, 2026. Our meal: + 1 Hot Cheetos w/Chile con Queso & Asada Steak Bag = $10.99 + 1 Hot Cheetos w/Chile con Queso & Chicken Bag = $9.99 + 1 Pork Asado Burrito (very tender & moist spicy asado, Mexican rice, black beans, green sauce, chopped mild green chile, cilantro, onions, and sour cream) = $12.99 + 3 Bottled strawberry Jarritos Drinks = $9.75 Just type in your mobile number to start earning rewards points. Online ordering was also available. All of the staff members were very friendly and pleasant to talk to. Thanks, BB!

Service was good but the food was disappointing…read more There wasn't much flavor to the barbacoa in the burrito or the chicken flautas. The sauce on the enchiladas and the guisada was smoky but not flavorful. Not what we were hoping for.

OVERALL If you're looking for affordable Mexican cuisine…read morewith really good flavor where adult beverages are served, El Jimador is a safe bet. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4.5 PARKING Ample. LOCATION/AMBIANCE It's on the south side of town near the high school. This place looked nice on the outside and in. There was a variety of tables for different-sized groups. They had a few flatscreens and pleasant music playing. The alarm system was annoying alerting them every time someone came through the door, but I guess that's what helps them know when they have customers. THE GRUB It must've been the ground-to-sky flag flapping in the breeze outside with "tortas" on it that made me gravitate toward the Mexican sandwich ($7.99). Mine came with two small sides of salsa, a red and a green - neither of which I truly cared for because they were overly acidic and not spicy whatsoever. The guisada that I chose was delicious, however, the portion seemed small. The horchata was served in a huge cup & didn't disappoint at all. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB There is a kid's menu with limited options. I posted a photo of it. SERVICE Kind of slow getting up to the front on 1/3/2024. Then I realized they thought I had a takeout order and they were rushing to bring out two large bags of food to me. Lol. The lady who took my order was friendly and efficient. MY FAVORITE PART... There are a few options for meat on the torta. I went with carne guisada which I couldn't recommend more. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The salsas. TIP Alcohol is served here. Please have a designated driver.

This Mexican restaurant has been around long enough for me to remember this is where my senior prom date took is for dinner. Well over 20 years ago. Lol. I'm still not a fan of their salsa, but it's complementary and something to munch on while you wait. The chips are okay. My choice for grub was the #3 chile rellenos ($10.99). It was really good. Like a fatty, I nearly cleaned my plate too. The atmosphere was indeed decorated for Christmas. Carolers for a cause came in to sing and collect donations without being pushy or getting in our faces. They have seating for large and small groups. Our waitress, while friendly and efficient, was a little too efficient. Every time we needed something she would turn around as quickly as possible to hold fetch it just to come back for more requests. Ample parking was available on both sides of the restaurant. Please fix the hours on your front door! No clue when the open. (See my photo.) Oh, the business was good too. Very cool stuff on the horizon...

El Palomar has decent Mexican food…read more On 4.14.2025, my co-workers and I had breakfast here. I opted for Huevos Rancheros with Corn tortillas ($8.99). Coffee ($2.49) was fine. Not that strong. There was also complimentary chips and salsa served - at breakfast! I've never seen that before. The salsa was not spicy AT ALL. The green sauce on my plate had a mild kick. Our waitress was nice, but she didn't understand my boss wanted cold chocolate milk when he said "chocolate milk." She came back with hot cocoa and we all busted up laughing when she walked off. He has never liked hot drinks. Did I mention he's my brother too? It's a decent sized place inside. No frills. Kind of dirty. Small parking lot. Busy street nearby.

Many folks park across the street and jaywalk. LOCATION/AMBIANCE Right away, I noticed all the Mexican bottled beers they offer. My brother mentioned the tables were new. THE GRUB There was complimentary chips and salsa. Not very spicy salsa, but well-blended and flavorful. I opted to start the meal off with a Carta Blanca cerveza mainly because I'd never tried it. It was alright. The alambre taco plate ($13). You can request flour tortillas for $1 extra, however, this dish is comprised of 4 small corn tortillas with a layer of "top sirloin with red peppers, green peppers, onions, and cheese. I was asked if I wanted beans and rice with it. I didn't understand the question. Isn't that standard protocol? I really enjoyed the tray of three salsas that they brought out with our food. The red one had a good kick. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB I didn't have my kids in tow. Didn't see any kid's menu, but I'll check next time. SERVICE The two ladies serving the entire place were fast and friendly. MY FAVORITE PART... The amount of bell peppers in my alambre tacos. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Bland beans and rice.

To begin with, the establishment is small and there are only a few parking spots. We were able to park across the street though, so no biggie. We walked inside and 50 million eyeballs all looked our way. We stood there not knowing if we had to sit ourselves or wait for the server. I finally approached the server and asked her what we had to do. She then pointed to a table right by the door for us to sit at, great. It was super busy and hot inside, and almost all the tables were taken. We quickly looked at the menu and knew we wanted tacos. The selection of meats is quite small and there is not a lot to pick from. I went with the steak tacos with everything on top and the hubs had the alambre tacos. He also ordered a michelada. Chips and salsa were brought out right away. The salsa was muy caliente. Our food didn't take too long and both our dishes came with rice and beans. My steak tacos were dry AF. The meat was bland and it had a lot of fatty pieces. It was topped off with some chopped cucumbers and cilantro but nope it still had no flavor. The hubs also was not impressed and he said that his tacos weren't it. (That means it's a no) The michelada was good though! It was yummy! The rice and beans were also pretty good! Our sever came and went a few times, but I had to literally wave my cup in the air for a refill. The inside was hot and by the time we left, my back was sweaty... So sad I didn't like this place. It has potential though.
