They're located in the same area as Big Cheese Pizza on the west end of the Albertson's Market plaza in Hobbs, NM. Their BBQ may not be everyone's absolute favorite, but it's good to me. No one at our party complained! Here's what my brothers and I ordered from the catering menu for 4/20/2024: COMPLETE DINNER PLANS - SERVED BUFFET STYLE, MINIMUM 10 PEOPLE. We had approximately 50 people. + "EXECUTIVE" plan - Includes three meats, two sides, bread, pickles, sauce (3 variations: mild, sweet & sour, & spicy) and place settings. + We chose ribs, brisket, turkey, scalloped potatoes, mac n cheese... + this package also came with sliced jalapeños & onions + Additionally we ordered 50 dinner rolls (everyone loved these) + 20 corn cobbettes + 1 ranch broccoli super spud (I mean they are HUGE potatoes LOL) + large plain cheese pizza (separate charge from BCP but same delivery) Our delivery went great by one solo employee. My significant other helped him. Our bill came out to $1,055.14. No deposit was required. They simply asked that I call in on the day of the delivery to provide a card number over the phone. Our guests were pleasantly surprised & some even took home leftovers! Yes, I recommend them & would do it all over again. The most difficult part was ordering with a newbie over the phone. Lol.

Huge hat tip to MaMa E's for the Domestic Violence Awareness fundraiser they participated in today…read more(October 6, 2023) at Option, Inc. in Hobbs, NM! While my chicken fried steak was just a little bit overcooked and hard to slice into with the provided plastic knife, it was still Southern-style delicious with the cream gravy, mashed potatoes, a fresh roll, green beans with real bacon bits, and a huge brownie on the side with a bottled water ($15). The owner was such a friendly, generous person. She was outside her food truck - not trailer - during this lunchtime event talking to folks waiting in line. Her employees/helpers were very amicable too. I've always heard great things about this food truck, but never had the opportunity to visit it. So glad I did. MaMa E's was established in 2018. Their motto is "where you can taste love in the grub." That's for sure! Their setup was for a large group in downtown Hobbs, so many tickets were pre-sold, but their food truck was nice and clean inside and out - I snooped! Lol. I would definitely return to an event where MaMa E was catering. Thanks, ma'am!

RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING This is a food trailer, so parking really shouldn't be an issue. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This is a nice, shiny maroon-colored food trailer that travels to all kinds of events in Hobbs, NM and the surrounding area. For info on where they'll be next, go to https://www.facebook.com/MadManssmokengrill?mibextid=LQQJ4d THE GRUB My youngest wanted a plain cheeseburger ($13). My oldest kiddo ordered a bacon cheeseburger ($14). She was bummed when she realized it came out minus the bacon and we were already on the road at that point. Both of these separately boxed items came with shoestring fries. The fries were of the frozen variety, but they were cooked nicely with a slight crunch. I highly suggest that they come up with something to set them apart from all the other food trucks with their fries. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's plates on the menu the day we ordered. SERVICE A very nice young man took our order on 3/9/2024. MY FAVORITE PART... The patties were juicy and not overcooked. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... They forgot my daughter's bacon.

OVERALL The Butcher Block Meat Market & Grill in Lovington,…read moreNM has great choices for fresh raw meat, cooked meat, & some frozen options. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING Ample. Free. LOCATION/AMBIANCE You really can't miss the big sign outside. It's located on Main Ave on the south end of town. Inside to the left is the meat market. It's clean. Organized. Other produce & goods were available. The fresh meat & ready-to-eat options looked nice. To the right was the restaurant grill. I was going to stay to eat, but there was a rather large group, consuming most of the booths and tables. Plus it was raining outside so I took my order for takeout back to work. My food stayed relatively warm all the way to Hobbs. THE GRUB On Thursday 1/4/2024 I tried the barbecue sandwich with fries ($7.99) on the lunch special menu. The bread was kind of flaky. The sandwich itself didn't seem substantial, but with the fries that were obviously the frozen variety it was a filling lunch for me. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB I did not see a kid's menu. SERVICE Fast & friendly. MY FAVORITE PART... Good alternative for lunch. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Wish the daily lunch special prices included a drink. TIP A drive-thru is available. Also, to order ahead call 575-739-7778.

As far as pizza food trailers and trucks out of Hobbs, NM, Patio Pizza is the only one I have…read moretried. Their orange, white and black food trailer is easily recognizable, "Serving SENM & West, TX since 2016." The first time I tried them was at my nephew's birthday party. While the owners were extremely nice and generous & even gave us a quick tour of their snazzy trailer, their pizzas are good. Not great. Yet another case of "I wanted to love it, but..." Lol. My friend who made the orders, was ecstatic about the "Da Vinci" which entails "spinach, artichokes, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese & garlic olive oil." It was alright. I prefered "the 505" which combines "sausage, Hatch green chiles, mozzarella cheese and red sauce." It was more savory and delicious than even the plain cheese, pepperoni, and the slice of "3 Little Pigs" (pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, mozzarella cheese & red sauce) that I tried. These are very thin pizzas. The edges were much too burned for me most of the time. This is very typical of wood-fired pizzas in my opinion. Even the culinary hub of the Greater Los Angeles area where I lived for 10 years. Also, their dough itself was not very flavorful or enjoyable to eat, so I dug into my brother and sister-in-law's kitchen to create my own dipping sauce. Maybe they've created some since I tried them last summer, but I haven't heard about it. Because the owners were so generous and kept the pizzas coming for our hungry crowd - plus I wasn't the one paying the tab and didn't have a say in "more 505s please" - I can't go lower than 4 stars even if they aren't my favorite pizzas.

A second trailer just like is on the Lovington Highway near Green Meadows Park. I always go for the #15 shrimp fried rice ($14). Their fried rice is the best in town. The amount of shrimp is fairly decent. I came kind of an off hour at close to 3 PM, so the food probably wasn't the freshest, but it was still really tasty. The shrimp is a bit overcooked. Takeout boxes come with an egg roll, fork, napkins, and condiments. Service is always fantastic. The guy who was at this trailer is often at the Pandita Express #2 trailer. He speaks both Spanish and English. So here's how it works here: Order. Pay. You'll be assigned a buzzer. Food usually is prepared very quickly. Perfect for my hangry butt.

RATING BREAKDOWN | Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 4 | PARKING There is minimal parking in front of Chico's. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The building where Chico's Burritos is located in Hobbs, NM, is tiny. It's more like a food stand in a not so pleasant looking neighborhood, but there is a drive-thru window. Outdoor picnic seating only. THE GRUB My brother recently got me a "Hurricane" ($4.50). This nicely-portioned burrito is a mishmash of bacon, cheese, chorizo, egg, ham, pico de gallo, potato, and sausage. It's not my favorite, but it was not bad. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB There is no kid's menu to my knowledge. SERVICE Friendly & fast. MY FAVORITE PART... Their tortillas. These are probably my favorite in town. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The area. Lol. Please, Hobbsans, have some pride or commission out the landscaping to some pros. TIPS + They also sell tacos, tortas, combination plates, burgers, and more. + Menudo on Saturdays!

We tried three different lunches. On each individually-packed breakfast, lunch & or dinner are the nutritional benefits and ingredients. + buffalo chicken salad ($12.99) + pesto chicken pasta with sliced asparagus ($13.99)... there was an abundance of flavor! + shrimp tacos ($13.99) LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No small kid's meals! However, this place is mainly catered to the adult palate... SERVICE I was helped by a mostly affable young lady on 2/1/2024. I would have liked more of a welcoming & explaining of what the place was about to be honest. Also, it was a bit awkward to be watched as I was putting my wallet away in my purse and proceeded out the door. Lol. MY FAVORITE PART... The buffalo chicken salad! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The price! Just over $44 for 3 lunches. TIP Open Monday through Friday from 10 AM - 6 PM.
