A little bit less common yet, we find restaurants that provide this space over a long period of time. Martin's Capitol Cafe would be such. We ordered a tamale, carne adovada and a chimichanga. The chimichanga wasn't deep fried but pan fried, which was not common and already a red flag. We got our food and it was just OK. The chips and salsa were good, but the food was OK. My portion was also small, and the rice was a bit dry. Maybe we ordered wrong... The restaurant is also a bit well worn. It adds charm but I think charm that is not backed up with good food is like a band-aid over a bleeding wound.

Spicy Beef Nachos Appetizer: Chips topped with queso, green onions, jalapeños, black olives, tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream. My friend got this and I had a couple bites. Chips were not soggy and it was large enough to cover as his dinner. Green Chile Burger: Topped with monterey jack cheese and roasted chopped Chaves County-grown hot green chile. Served on a jalapeño bun with a side of our hot green chile sauce. Their signature burger and it tasted good. I don't need too much food but the amount of fries I got was too little even for me. Got two Johnny Walker Blacks with a splash of coke and they came well mixed and quickly. We did end up getting rained in and hilariously went back for a second dinner to wait out the rain. Black corn taquitos were OK, I would not get the fried shrimp basked again, the shrimp was too small and there was too much breading.

I had marked these GPS coordinates months ago, making a note that Rene Anthony's was notable the highest-rated restaurant on the long drive between Dallas and Tularosa, NM. But I began to doubt myself as glimpses through the thick fog revealed no civilization, nothing but empty fields. Was there really a restaurant out here open at 5:12 a.m. or did my typically methodical road trip research contain an error? And suddenly, there it was, an oasis of an eatery standing alone in an ordinary building on the south side of the highway surrounded by nothingness. I strolled into the small dining room filled with a dozen truckers waking up to a vivid discussion about the NFL. A city slicker seemingly out of place, I was welcomed with open arms and placed my dine-in order at the register. The only breakfast option was a lengthy list of breakfast burritos, a dish I don't normally enjoy. But this was different. Chef Anthony Sanchez is making magic here. Ordering the porky pig, a massive burrito absolutely stuffed with fresh chorizo, onions, and peppers, this is pure deliciousness in the middle of nowhere!

RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4.5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 3 PARKING There is ample parking out front even for trucks with trailers and big rigs. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The location is a bit outside of Hobbs, NM on the Carlsbad Highway. It's near the Arkansas Junction headed west towards Carlsbad. It's a small place with a few tables and booths. You order and pay at the register as soon as you walk in then wait to be served. You must ask for a key to the lone restroom which is accessible going back outside. It's better than nothing. It's not the cleanest & hot water at the sink never flowed for me. I wish they would take down the old signage already. It's been there for years. I remember seeing a post back on March 2023 that Renee Anthony was opening soon. It's time for new signage! Their music was a bit on the loud side when I first walked in. THE GRUB They offer a breakfast and lunch menu only. No dinner. Or supper as we call it in my family. The lunch menu is confusing because I heard the group in front of me order burgers. I never saw them on there. I opted for a cheeseburger because my friend had one a couple of weeks ago and she said it was amazing with jalapenos. Well, those got left off of my order. I should have had the hostess repeat my order back to me, but they were fairly busy & she seemed a bit flustered at times. A combo with a side of homemade fries and a sealed drink of your choice (I went with a strawberry/kiwi Shasta) costed $16.58. It came with chopped onions and tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles. Your choice of ketchup, mayo, and/or mustard comes on the side. Plastic was accepted. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB I didn't see any kid's menu items nor is it a baby or toddler-friendly restaurant... no high chairs. No baby changing station available in the lone restroom either. SERVICE I told the friendly hostess on 1/26/2024 that I wanted something spicy with my cheeseburger if I could in fact order one. I suggested jalapenos, but I think she got distracted as I often witnessed while waiting for my takeout because they were nonexistent. The deprivation killed me! Lol. MY FAVORITE PART... The burger ended up being a 1/2 pounder. A lot more lunch than I anticipated (thankfully) at that price. Next time I'm down for something different, though! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Asking for the key to the restroom (bleh), no hot water at the sink, and the price (steep!).

Despite the name 'Rojas Mexican Grill & Restaurant', the new name is 'La Juanita Mexican Cuisine & Grill.' Parking is easy. Plenty of spaces around the restaurant. I even saw some work trucks parked around. Do not be fooled by the appearance and go inside. You pretty much sit anywhere, and the waitress will come by with menus. Complimentary crisps chips and salsa were good. FOOD: Special Steak (Topped with bacon, mushroom, cheese, with Charro beans, chili toreado and grilled onions, 2/5): I am not sure why my friend ordered a steak here. It was tough. I only tried a bite of it with the beans. Beans didn't impress me either. Enchilada Plate (Three Red or Green Enchiladas served with re-fried beans and rice): You can also add meat for $1 extra. My friend devoured this! I didn't even try a bite but seemed like other enchilada plates. Pollo en Mole Plate (Served with re-fried beans and rice, 3/5): This was just OK. Mole was mildly lacking flavor and was more on the salty side. I have tried much better mole in other Mexican restaurants. Ask for a green sauce to eat this dish with because it makes it so much better than without it. Juanita Tacos (Beef, fresh onion, cilantro, avocado, cheese, grilled onions, and jalapeno, 5/5): 4 pieces of tacos. You can opt to make it come with rice and beans for extra. BUT IT IS SO GOOD. Authentic tacos, order this if you want them. The only bad thing is that they layer so much food on the top that the tortilla will gradually get soggy. Friends and I agreed this was the best dish so far. Fried Ice Cream (4/5): I cannot believe the waitress asked if our table wanted only one order before this dessert arrived. It is massive! Definitely shareable between 3-4 people. I wish there wasn't so much whip cream on top, for I literally scooped it right off three times to get to the ice cream. Definitely order if you want something cold. Rounded up for wonderful service! Drinks were filled in a timely manner. She would come by every now and ask if we needed anything. Afterwards, you walk to the cashier in the left of the restaurant to pay for your meal. Cash and card are accepted. I would definitely come back to try the other tacos they offer. Come try a real Mexican restaurant in Carlsbad!
