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!

On a foggy Monday morning in rural New Mexico, I pushed through the mysterious darkness on Highway…read more180 in search of breakfast. 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.

The burritos do run a little on the smaller side, but they're packed with flavor and definitely hit the spot. The salsa bar actually brings the heattttt spicy spicy, not just "I promise it's hot" spicy and the guac has legit flavor. Best part? You finish your meal and casually wander next door because it's connected to an ice cream and fruiteria situation. Dinner + dessert without even leaving the building. Say less.

The taco was crispy and filled with delicious meat, and the consommé was rich and flavorful. If I hadn't been on the road, I probably would have ordered another one. The portion was generous, and the price was fair too. The service was quick, and the overall dining environment was bright and clean. Definitely a great local recommendation and a spot I'd happily come back to.

They were set up near my daughter's karate dojo fundraising event. The owner is a super sweet lady from Trinidad - the country located northeast of the coast of South America. She came to New Mexico Junior College to run on the cross country & track teams. Now she coaches there. Has a family here. And is a "boss babe." I thoroughly enjoyed the jerk chicken tacos. It was three tacos with very fresh toppings of cabbage, cilantro, onions, a jerk sauce that was only mildly spicy for me, and limes. The only drawback was a bone I found in one of my tacos. Other menu items included: Fried chicken ($13) Kids fried chicken ($6) Water, Pepsi, Coca-Cola or Sprite = $1 To find out where their next event will be, check out: https://www.facebook.com/TRINILOVislandcuisine?mibextid=LQQJ4d RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 5 | Price: 4

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.
