RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING I parked out front on the street. There is more parking nearby, though. LOCATION/AMBIANCE I was taken aback at how spacious it was inside. From Turner Street it seems like a small place. If you go through the front entrance, there are tables scattered everywhere. The menu and register are towards the back. Order there. Pay. Take your little ticket and they'll bring the food to you whether it's for takeout or dine-in. THE GRUB My grand total for the 1/4 chicken meal and a large agua de Jamaica was $12.36. The chicken meal came with two juicy, tender pieces of barbecued chicken, refried beans, rice, lime wedges, bagged onions, shredded lettuce, two slices of tomatoes, a grilled jalapeno, and your choice of three flour or corn tortillas... such a wonderfully-filling meal. The corn tortillas were good. Not my favorite, but good enough. The jamaica is made in-house and is such a great compliment to the saltiness of the chicken meal. If you've never tried agua de jamaica, its colors are rich due to it being partly made from dried hibiscus flowers. And don't forget, this is Mexican food, so you pronounce it "hah-MY-cah" - not like the Caribbean island nation. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB They don't have a kid's menu to my knowledge. SERVICE Amicable and blazing fast... at least during the regular workday lunch hour. MY FAVORITE PART... The barbecued chicken. It's just like straight off the grill during summer nights at my own house. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The place was packed for lunch! That's why I took mine to go. TIP Everyone - including the patrons - was so friendly and happy on 9/27/2023. Life is so much easier when you choose to be happy!

Super cute and delicious mom and pop business. We arrived right around lunch time as it was…read morestarting to get busy but they have more then plenty of seating. We went in thru the back and we sat down right away. The menu is posted along side the wall by the register, but they also have small menus on the sides of the napkin holders. The waitress quickly came on over and brought us some chips, pickled onions, and salsa. The salsa was good but the chips were obviously store bought. We got two Mexican sodas and decided we were ready to order, since we already knew what we wanted. We both ordered two plates of a 1/4 chicken with corn tortillas. I also decided I wanted to try out their papa asada. (Grilled potato) We didn't wait too long for our food to come out. The chicken was perfectly charred and very juicy. The plate is pretty big. It came with two pieces of chicken, rice, a small salad, beans, and a grilled jalapeño. They do have fresh guacamole and grilled potatoes for an additional cost. The food was delicious and the service was great. This is definitely your spot if your looking for a home cooked meal type of dish. They only sell grilled chicken, so don't go in wanting to order something else!

Rancho Grande - as Yelp currently has it titled - is actually called Jimenez Rancho Grande…read more 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.

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!

*** good choice for some Baja-style Mexican food in southeastern New Mexico ***…read more When I have a lot on my mind, I drive to a new-to-me place and EAT. Baja Grill in Lovington, NM, was on my bookmarks for a long time. It was well worth the wait! At around 1:45 pm, I walked into a nearly empty restaurant. I was seated right away and served some very good red salsa and crispy, semi-thick homemade tortilla chips. I liked the variety of high-top and normal-height tables. I knew as soon as I saw "blackened tilapia" on the menu I had to have it. "Served on a bed of rice pila" ($12.99), it also came with my choice of two sides. The charro beans and fried okra were excellent! While my fish wasn't the freshest, the seasoning was really delicious. The outer edges were crispy, but inside the fish was flaky and moist. I also ordered a refreshing Sprite. Paid cash. Got just a little less than $4 back. Service was nice, but my waitress only checked on me after she realized I was ready to go. The food is fairly unique to Lea County. I can see why my employees like this place. I'm glad I had a lot on my mind that day... Really dumb parking lot, though. No painted lines so everyone just parks like idiots. And it's rather dull on the outside. Hard to easily recognize that it's a place that serves seafood.

Eeek! Seriously the BEST in town! 3) Their kitchen worked fast on a night when I was really sick but my kids were starving and I didn't want to infect their side of the house. My oldest had the beef enchiladas with red sauce ($9.99). She usually very tolerant, but she said they were a little too spicy. I told her to save the leftovers. I tried them. They have a kick, but not too spicy for me. My oldest had the cheese enchiladas with green sauce ($9.99). Again, it was spicy for her, but she couldn't stop eating them. That's a good thing. Finally maybe she is building up a tolerance for spicier items - match that personality! Lol. This place is quickly moving up on my favorite list of Hobbs restaurants. I hope to have a good dine-in report by the end of the year.

My brisket torta with short & stubby fries plus a canned Sprite was delicious for the cash price of $13.80. Fresh veggies, soft bun, & tender, juicy brisket! The fries were slightly undercooked, though. Make sure to ask for both red and green salsa as they only gave me green on 1.29.2025. Both were on the spicier side. Loved the green a bit more than the red. It was more flavorful! Service was really nice with broken English, mostly Spanish. My order was ready in about 5 minutes. The only thing I would change is the menu. I feel like I saw three different menus and only one had tortas listed with ham. I didn't know they offered it with brisket! Recommend for a good takeout lunch. Cash or plastic accepted. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 3 | Price: 3
