OVERALL I went to high school with several friends who still…read morerave about Nipa Hut. Don't get me wrong, they are good and with good portions, but they aren't my absolute favorite in town. 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. TIPS + Call in your orders for pickup. - Closed Sunday & Saturday.

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.

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.

I was on the verge of getting sicker and sicker by the minute on 11/16/2023…read more My heart was set on birria. The trusty Yelp app lead me to Vaquero Taquero Mucho which I had recently bookmarked. They offered $7.99 delivery through delivery.com which was available via Yelp. That delivery price next to a $2.95 service charge was steep, but I was desperate because I felt like absolute garbage and I rarely take medicine when I'm down. I like to sweat it out with spicy food, cold wet rags, Vicks VapoRub - & now that I'm older - a strong, delicous homemade hot toddy! When I pushed the order through I got a text message at 1:07 saying they were swamped and would be late. The app even said it would be delivered between 1:44-2:14PM. I'm a numbers gal so bear with me... I thought I had time for a nice long needed nap. Nope. I submitted the order at 12:44PM. A nice lady with a smile on her face rang my doorbell at 1:25PM. My order arrived perfect and packed neatly with no messes that I've experienced from other birria places (not in Hobbs because I know of only two others). The broth, also known as consomme broth de birria, was not quite as flavorful as I have had, yet, it was good. I ordered an extra cup ($2.69) because I love to drink that stuff when I've got sinus congestion. The shining star was the Mulitas de Birria ($14.19) with sliced limes and extra onions and cilantro on the side. All four mulitas were still amazingly piping hot - and their brick and mortar is clear on the other side of town! The tortillas still had a slight crispiness to them. They did not skimp on the meat. It was moutwatering good with the green salsa, but that red spicy salsa - that's where it's at. They threw in a few of the cutest, smallest tortilla chips I've every had. They were well-salted. I knew I wouldn't get enough salsa because I never do, so I ordered an extra cup of that red spicy salsa ($4.19). Also, I ordered two jalapeños toreados ($1.58) on the side. Can't wait to be 100% again so I can check out this place in the flesh. Of course I've driven by. It's small and looks kind of dive-ish with bright colors on the outside. My kind of Mexican restaurant.

I had a really frustrating experience at Vaquero Taquero. I called ahead, was put on hold, and no…read moreone ever came back to help me. When I arrived, I rang the doorbell and could see staff inside. I waited about 10 minutes, rang again, and waited another five minutes, but nobody opened the window or helped me. I eventually left and got food elsewhere. I understand that restaurants get busy, but a quick acknowledgment or update would have made a big difference. This was especially disappointing because I'd had a better experience there before. The service during this visit was unacceptable, and I left feeling ignored.

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.

El Palomar has decent Mexican food…read more On 4.14.2025, my co-workers and I had breakfast here. I opted for Huevos Rancheros with Corn tortillas ($8.99). Coffee ($2.49) was fine. Not that strong. There was also complimentary chips and salsa served - at breakfast! I've never seen that before. The salsa was not spicy AT ALL. The green sauce on my plate had a mild kick. 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. I'm glad I got to go here finally, but it's no where near my favorite in Hobbs, NM. RATING BREAKDOWN Food/Drinks: 3 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 4

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!
