Rancho Grande - as Yelp currently has it titled - is actually called Jimenez Rancho Grande. This Mexican restaurant is not on the main roads going into Lovington, NM, so folks unfamiliar with this area will sorely miss out if they don't already know about it. I'll get to my CONS out of the way: - limited hours on Saturdays & Sundays (6:00 AM - 2:00 PM) - credit card fee of 3.5% and I did NOT see this posted at the register - No buffet on Saturdays - chips and salsa are NOT complimentary ($6.99) My daughters and I came here for lunch for a girls day out before Mother's Day 2026 since we were spending time with family on Sunday. My dish: Tacos a la Parilla ($14.99 for 3 soft tacos with grilled brisket, guacamole, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes) served with rice and beans. Absolutely delicious. I would get this again. My oldest daughter also had a brisket taco plate ($14.99) but the crispy variety without jalapeno or pico de gallo. My youngest daughter opted for a cheeseburger ($13.89) with fries ($2.00). If those weren't fresh hand-cut fries I would be surprised. They were yummy. Slightly crisp. Not too oily. The burger I would have eaten all by myself with its buttery fluffy buns. This is a close first place for burgers in Lovington with Lazy 6 being its competition. Their horchata was divine ($4.25 × 2). My youngest was happy with her sweet tea ($3.75). Loved the vibes inside. The ceilings and lighting fixtures were very interesting. Not overly decorated. Good Mexican music playing at a good decibel. All of the staff members we interacted with were friendly. Restrooms and parking were good. I'll be a repeat offender. read more

Simply wonderful! I'm visiting family here but I live in California. I ordered the red enchiladas and the brisket tacos served with rice & beans salad and chips & salsa So darn good. The restaurant was clean and packed with People eating and enjoying their food. The server was polite and very kind. I wish they were in the Bay Area. Thank you. read more

The food was pretty good. I ordered the Elena Special. Good sized portions, except the tamales were a bit small and not great, but okay. I did not dine in, as there was no allowed dining due to Covid. Sign outside says you must wear mask, but no one inside was wearing one. Overall, recommend. Give them a try. read more

Food was great as alway!! Missed being served by Bethany she as very friendly. the waitresses were rude and did not care to be at work, they had frowns and did not even bother to ask if everything is ok or we needed anything. they asked all tables around us but couldn't ask us. It really sad that a Great restaurant has people that greet you with a frown. Bethany really needs to train them in customer service. If I was the owner they would not have a job immediately!!!!! Its sad that they have such POOR ATTITUDE!!!!! read more

Burritos are very good, order by phone and usually pick up in 20 minutes or less. Highly recommend this place.

Wow! I've lived in this area for 15 years & the other day I tried their food.... Absolutely delicious. The waitresses were very accessible & polite ( even tho they were swamped ) I will definitely return! read more

Good food, good service. Festive place. Reasonable amount of time for service. Place has always been busy. Has a very fantastic menu.

Best food in our little town or any other town for that matter! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu!!!!

Very disappointed. Waited over an hour for our food, table of 4. The server didn't refill drinks and finally after 45 minutes we had to ask someone. Multiple larger tables around us got there after and got food before us. Finally got our food and the order was wrong. All in all very upset and probably won't be back read more

Jimenez Rancho Grande - eggs, toast, and hash browns on a plate - Mexican Near Me - Lovington, New Mexico

Tasty Mexican Food, Prompt Friendly Service. I was in Lovington for business and wanted to try a local restaurant and avoid fast food. I walked in and was told to seat myself. The friendly male server quickly took my drink order and brought back my drink and homemade chips with both hot and mild salsas in just a couple minutes. The menu had a mix of Mexican platters and American food. I chose the brisket taco platter. The chips were well seasoned and the fresh salsas were delicious. The hot salsa definitely had plenty of heat but deep flavor. The tacos came out quickly and were warm juicy and crispy. Refried beans needed just a touch of salt for my taste. A tasty quick business lunch in 35 minutes. I will be returning here the next time I'm in town. read more

Had the flautas and my boyfriend had the cheese enchiladas. Food and staff were GREAT! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because we had to wait 30-40 min for our food but it was worth the wait :) read more

First to write a review! This place was great! Chips and salsa are one of a kind, never have I had chips quite like that! Combination burrito was superb! Next time I'm back this way I will stop by again! read more

The green sauce was clearly cream-of-chicken based, the beans were bland and soupy, and the rice had a definite burnt taste. The gastric distress, though, was magnifique! read more

I had the tamale plate. Very good. Beans and rice were good and I am usually very picky about them. My husband had Elenas special. He said it was good. He did ask for green beef enchilada and it came green chicken but it was still good. No complaints even with that. read more
