RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING If there aren't any spots in the shared lot with the nearby Stripes (convenience store), then there is a caliche lot with a few mud pits you can go 4-wheeling in. Lol. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The location honestly is not all that pretty. There are run-down houses nearby. Once inside, the glass door doesn't shut all the way allowing all the cold air from outside on 12/29/2022 to swoop in. I really appreciate how they have bought all of the Hobbs High athletic fundraiser posters all these years. There is no outdoor seating, but some indoor seating. THE GRUB First off, these are huge burritos. The portions are good. + bacon, cheese, & egg ($5.50) = my kids could only eat about half of theirs + grande chorizo ($6) = chorizo, egg, cheese, & potato... I enjoyed it for the most part. Their homemade tortillas were my favorite part because they have a slighter thickness than anyone else in town. + the green salsa is far superior to the red salsa especially if you like it spicy! LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's menu to my knowledge. SERVICE They are the nicest folks in town! MY FAVORITE PART... The name of one of their most popular burritos is called the "Grumpy burrito." Lol... I will try that someday for sure. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... It's a long wait with phone orders and walk-in orders. Expect 20-25 minutes on their busier days.

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...

A drive-thru window is also available. LOCATION/AMBIANCE Way on the south side of town is this little blue building with run-down houses surrounding it. THE GRUB This is my new favorite breakfast burrito place, thanks to my brother. I ordered three breakfast burritos just before 8AM on 2/8/2023. Two were for my kids: bacon, egg & cheese. As I didn't have a menu in front of me, I requested "something spicy." The nice lady on the phone suggested their guisado with extra chiles. Their burritos are what I think of as normal size. If I was younger and starving, I might've ordered another, but I devoured the entire thing & wasn't hungry for a few hours later. The guisado meat was extra tender. No surprise there as I was told is was any type of stew meat - which in this case was beef. It had potatoes & chiles mixed in nicely with it. I did not have to request salsa in my carryout bag as they included three small containers. I'll make sure this is a continue trend, though. Three burritos came out to $17.89. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB There was no kids menu to my knowledge. My girls really enjoyed the burrito I had customized for them. SERVICE Friendly & fast! MY FAVORITE PART... The guisado burrito!

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!). TIPS + Call head for takeout or dine in. + They have an assortment of desserts in the fridge next to the beverage fridge.

This review is for El Mirador's lunch buffet from my 12/2/2022 visit…read more It's not my favorite Mexican restaurant in town, but it certainly has it's pluses... For starters, their buffet is replenished often during peak hours. Not sure what Michael M. was referring to back on 9/17/2022 because I saw trays being replaced, checked on, and occassionally stirred by staff members. Everything was hot... no flies feasting on the area like at other buffets. Service is a bit of a mixed bag unless you know the folks who work here like my family does. The ladies at the front don't know me, so I guess they didn't feel like greeting me when I walked in... no worries, I can find my party myself. Whether you buffet or not, chips and salsa are delivered to your table. I appreciate our waitress obliging when I wanted a to-go cup for my drink. The buffet itself consists of enchiladas, tacos, chile rellenos, gorditas, beans, rice, salads, salsas, pico de gallo, fruit, and much more. Some vegetarian options are available. There is live music on Fridays for lunch. Their place - while noticeable water damage exists - is decorated nicely. There is a full bar. Their chairs are cool... padded seats with cut-outs on the backing that spell out their restaurant name. Lots of oilfield workers and their wives come here, so there is ample parking for their trucks/trailers/wive's Cadillacs and BMWs... Lol. I'll definitely be back for the buffet!

Their current hours as of 6/28/2023 do not extend into supper time. I stopped in to get an order for takeout since I had more paperwork to finish up at work.

Served with beans and potatoes." Your choice of two corn or flour tortillas. The flour tortillas were homemade. It took about 10 minutes for it to be prepped. I had one more errand to run before I got back to work, but it was still all piping hot at that point. I only wish that next time I get some salsa if possible to put on top of my beans and potatoes. Parking is a gravel lot. Tables and booths are both available for indoor seating. The space is adorned with some really cool metal signs and bright colored decor.

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.
