One of the worst experiences! The reviewer who said they have gluten free and vegan options is a…read morebig ole liar. Or at least they don't anymore. I should have looked more carefully at the menu, but I have never been to a less vegetarian friendly Mexican food place. I ordered a Paloma and it was the worst I have ever had. It tasted like it had no alcohol at all. The place is tiny, and then they had a band coming to play. It was vibrating the entire building. My teeth were rattling. The music itself would have been pleasant if it wasn't eardrum shattering. My husband liked his drink. The service was fine, although there was a communication barrier, I blame myself and not the waitress. I think that's about it. It was also not cheap like others are commenting. This was a big fat fail. Let me add - per my Apple Watch, the decibel level got up to 107 db, and 10+ mins over 95 can damage your hearing! I've been to plenty of places with live music, but never anything that incredibly loud. There were really young kids in there, too!

OVERALL Hot Hot Cajun Juicy Seafood is a nice change of pace…read morefor this small town. I'd go here again some day. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4| Service: 4 | Ambiance: 2 | Price: 3 PARKING There is ample free parking at the Broadmoor Mall which is more like a hall. Anyway. You shouldn't have a problem parking within walking distance. Also, trucks/trailers should have plenty of space to park. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This restaurant took the place of the long-standing Furr's which held a special place in my heart. They have repainted and redecorated the main dining room with seafood and ocean vibes. THE GRUB Both my significant other and I opted for the 1/2 pound crab boil ($17.99). We both wanted garlic butter seasoning at medium spice level. My photo didn't do it justice, but each steamed bag has several slices (like maybe 5) of andouille sausage, a piece of corn on the cob, and maybe 3 small potatoes. We really enjoyed ours, but the crab could have been more fresh. Welcome to Hobbs, NM where most seafood arrives frozen. :) The taro milk tea ($4.99) was iced, but stayed super warm for a long time. While it had a slightly sweeter flavor than I like, it was better when I got home to add ice to it as I did not drink much of it at the restaurant. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUBI did not see a kid's menu, however, my kiddos were in school & I forgot to ask if they had one. SERVICE We were not promptly greeted - it even took a while for someone to seat us, but once they did things went smoothly. Our waitress didn't even ask my SO if he wanted his tea refilled. She just did it. Love that. MY FAVORITE PART... How our waitress hustled for us about 10 other tables all by herself. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The two out-of-sync TVs playing music videos. TIP Several customers came in for order pickups, so it seems like a decent spot for takeout.

Not all you can eat. $21 bowl of soup. Clean environment. Many good hot sauces on tables. I'm sure…read morethe seafood is fresh. Language barrier. Why $21 for soup? It was like they sizzled fajita, chicken and shrimp and threw it into a large bowl. It highly contrasted the first bowl of COLD soup I was served. Didn't know it was a thing. Don't mean to step on anyone's tradition. I like ceviche, but I was served it as a soup. Did I mention it was ice cold. There's a cultural barrier but don't charge me $21 to learn a lesson in mariscos. And then stop serving me towards the end when you realize I wasn't satisfied, I'm not a happy customer but why refuse to help me close out the check, get a to go box, etc... what a joke. But it was clean and the hot sauces were on point. They might have better stuff coming off the grill but this is not all you can eat as sign and some websites say. This is for a specific crowd and they're not trying to get anyone else on board, especially with lack of English speaking waitstaff. Menu in mostly Spanish also. Patrons were Very scarce when I went in 8 pm on Thursday night. Bummer because it's a nice facility.

Don't miss Maria Bonita in Hobbs, NM. Great food, great service and our server, Jamie, was awesome!read more

The tables and chairs (big and heavy) reminded me of a few Mexican restaurants I've visited in…read moreMexico. The service started off slow but did get better. A bowl of noodle soup showed up instead of chips and salsa. (Can't say that I'm mad at that). The soup had a nice amount of spice. Got the beef and chicken enchiladas a side of corn and charro beans. After I ordered food came out in about 10 minutes. Very happy as to the wait. I normally don't care for corn tortillas for my enchiladas, but there was so much flavor that I didn't mind. The beans were good however didn't care for the "extras" with them. Was expecting a corn nibblet for my side and was pleasantly surprised with a whole ear of corn. The waitress kept warning me about the hot sauce she brought. While very spicy I found both to have a good flavor. I can say that the next time I am in Hobbs I will come back to Maria's.

The green chile stew on the other hand was very tasty. Had I known it was that good, I would have had the bowl instead of the cup and skipped the ribs all together. Oh well , on to the next.

Very good service, nicely decorated…read more Ordered their pineapple Paloma. I'm not into too sweet of a drink and this was it. Usually these are really refreshing but the pineapple made it really sweet. Order the hot and sour soup. Had great flavor with the little amount of spiciness and sourness but was not very warm. Calamari with the perfect amount of breading, cooked perfectly and not chewy. Great with the marinara dipping sauce. Spicy tuna roll was very good, very fresh with the right amount of kick. Green chili roll. I personally did not try it, I do not like cream cheese in my sushi roll but others at the table loved it. They stated this is the best roll on the menu ......... if you like cream cheese in your rolls. I ordered the panzit with chicken, it was very salty. If it had less salt I think this dish would have been very good. The noodles and chicken cooked perfectly. Sizzling beef & Shrimp - the beef and shrimp was cooked well but the house brown sauce had a very weird flavor. Hobbs is our hometown but we have lived in California and Las Vegas for a long time and this restaurant did not meet our expectations of Asian food.

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.

OVERALL RATING…read moreBREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 1 | Price: 4 PARKING There's always ample parking as hardly anyone ever comes here. But the crispy-battered fish can be my secret. Lol. LOCATION/AMBIANCE Most folks in these parts refer to the location as the Albertson's parking lot. Sure, it's in the vicinity. But it doesn't stand out. I forget about this place a lot. The drive-thru menu needs an overhaul. The parking lot needs major repairs. THE GRUB The 2-piece Whitefish Fillet combo was really good ($9.89 not including tax). I had not had LJS's in a ling time. They gave me plenty of packs of tartar sauce & malt vinegar. Don't forget to request those. Two pieces wild-caught Alaska Pollock in our signature batter, one side, two hushpuppies, and drink. I opted for coleslaw instead of the automatic fries they usually serve. They had Dr. Pepper to drink. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB+ fried fish, chicken or shrimp combos are available for just a little over $6 each. SERVICE Friendly & fast. MY FAVORITE PART... The 2-piece whitefish fillet! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Their bumpy ass parking lot & funky worn-out unlit menu. TIPS Drive-thru is available. Their menu as of 3/16/2023 could use some updating & it sucks telling them your order when it's windy outside because they can't understand you!
