5 stars for the grilled chicken!! I was a little taken aback we weren't offered a menu when we sat down. A little later, I noticed a picture menu posted on a board on the wall. There also was a little printed menu on the side of a napkin dispenser (photo). A lady asked us what we wanted to drink, then she asked me whether we were ready to order. Since I really didn't know what to order, I had to ask her what they had to offer. "Chicken." was her reply. "We only have chicken." I was wondering what kind of chicken they had...fried, stewed, baked, sauteed, grilled, etc.... It turns out that all they have is grilled chicken. You can order either a whole, half, quarter chicken. It comes with a side of rice, beans, and a little lettuce salad and a roasted jalapeno pepper. You can order extra baked potato or guacamole (two sizes) if you'd like. If you are getting a quarter chicken, you might as well order a half for about $2 more. If you are truly hungry or feeding three people or more, you might as well get a whole chicken for $15.79 and share. Not much ambience or fanciness IMHO, but their grilled chicken is excellent. I don't know what they do to their chicken (I know they marinade; with what I don't know), it tastes so good. Highly recommended. If I lived here in Hobbs, I'd be back a lot. I was so glad that I tried this establishment on a first and perhaps the only night I was in town.

Why haven't I been here sooner? Because I have only lived here for a little over a month. That's why. Go to spot now. Limited menu; but get the chicken. Seriously. It's just chicken. And it glorious in all it's coal roasted goodness. The beans and rice? Oh so top notch. Guacamole? Freshly made and delicious, so calm yourself..... Also the prices were beyond fair. Treat-yo-self. You'll be glad you did.

I am so happy I found this place! Although there were only 2 reviews when I decided to check out El Pollo Chihuahua, my yelp senses were tingling because I knew something about this place was special. I love chicken and I love mexican, but never had them together like this. When I walked in, I was greeted by friendly servers. There is a very small menu, you have the choice between 1/4, 1/2 or a whole chicken that comes with rice, beans and salad along with tortillas (corn or flour) and chips. I ordered an horchata on the side and I was served my food in less than 10 minutes! The chicken was deliciously charred and juicy. I squeezed a bit of lime on it and dunked it in the salsa that came with the chips. My mouth is watering as I type this review thinking back on it. The rice and beans are very flavorful as well, and beware of the grilled jalapeno! I love spicy but it was majorly hot! The horchata was refreshing. I am counting down the days I came come back. I enjoyed this meal very much, all for under $10! It is very spacious inside so it's good for groups. There is street parking in front and another lot in the back. The staff seem very friendly, maybe it is family owned.

For this city this is an A list place. One thing done well is brilliant. The grilled chicken was great. Enough said!

I have lived in Hobbs for 7 yrs, this is the first time eating here. I am so sad that I've wasted 7 yrs eating anywhere else.

We had lunch here twice within a weeks span. Our first time our service was great! It was a Sunday…read moreand it surprisingly wasn't too busy. Kevin was our server and he was amazing! Very friendly, attentive, and made our dining experience great. I ordered the chicken flautas dish and my husband ordered the shredded beef chimichanga. The flautas were good, but not something that I would reorder. They kinda reminded me of frozen flautas that they just threw in the microwave. My husband did enjoy his chimichanga though. It was pretty big! Our second time around, we were a party of four. It wasn't at all busy, but yet there was no hostess in sight so we waited to get seated. Our sever quickly approached us with a stinky attitude. She was in no way in the mood to be working and had an unkempt appearance. Her way of approaching us was rude and our drinks sat empty a few times. My husband didnt even get his drink and we had to remind her about it. This time around I decided to try out the three crunchy shredded beef tacos and my husband ordered the chicken fajitas entree. My beef tacos were amazing and I will definitely order them again. The beef was so flavorful. The chicken fajitas dish is huge. It came with tortillas, a salad in a taco bowl, rice and beans. It is definitely enough for two! They have various dishes and we will most likely be back to try them out. They also have desserts! Thank you to Kevin for providing us with such great service our first time around!

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.

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.

Review #2,000!…read more OVERALL Taqueria Villa Nueva is a Mexican restaurant in Hobbs, NM that serves the best torta I've tried in the dusty small town. This is a great place for a family meal. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4.5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING I parked near the front door but only because the place wasn't all that busy. I wish they would paint some parking lines or make it more clear where their drive-thru window begins and ends. Otherwise, it's not that far to walk with nearby street parking. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The dining room has a couple of beautiful murals inside. The buffet area was set up near the register and the kitchen. There were several different sizes of tables. They played a Spanish radio station in the background with good melodies, but way too many commercials at just before noon. THE GRUB As soon as I saw the opportunity for a torta de barbacoa ($9.99), I requested it. This Mexican sandwich was absolutely delicious. I wanted everything on it - meat, avocado, lettuce, tomato, & potatoes. This was an awesome portion for lunch. On the side was a batch of lukewarm shoestring fries which were not seasoned at all. I didn't eat many of them, so next time I will see if they will swap them fries for some arroz Mexicano! Lol. The nice lady asked me which salsa I wanted - "red or green?" I laughed and said both. She obliged. The red is definitely spicier than their green, but still I could not stop eating it. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's menu available that I saw. There were high chairs/slings, though. SERVICE Welcoming & friendly! My takeout order was out in about 5 minutes. MY FAVORITE PART... The barbacoa! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The fries! TIP Lunch buffet looked really good.

First time here, it's simple Sunday buffet but very delicious. The food was so flavorful. 10/10read more
