Great Mexican food! As of October 2022, there has been a for sale sign on the pink food truck across from U-Haul -- and I heard due to the land being sold for development.

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

OVERALL El Pollo Chihuahua is the absolute best place in…read moreHobbs, New Mexico, for tender, juicy barbecue-style chicken. 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!

Luna's is a Hobbs America institution…read more Supposedly my dad went to school with the woman who started it up... and something about it running in the family now? Hell, I don't know. We had a bit too much tequila for me to remember much more of that story. All I know is I missed this place after growing up on it. As soon as I gained my driver's permit in high school, it was, "Drive me to Luna's and let's get dinner." The Sizzler is a popular item. This time (8/6/20) I wanted couple of enchiladas and a beef taco. It comes with a side order of beans and rice. The salad, salsa, and pepper included with that meal are all fresh. My kiddos shared a 4-taco plate (all chicken with a ton of cilantro on them) with a side of beans and rice. The salsa had quite a kick, so be careful with little ones and their curious little phalanges. Lol. There is minimal outdoor seating. It's more of a drive-in or grab-n-go type place. Cash or cards accepted. Phone orders available.

On 11.03.2025, I DoorDashed three El Paradero #2 entrees to my house…read more I'm bumping up my rating because: 1) They are the most affordable Mexican restaurant in town 2) The Chile Rellenos ($9.99)! 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.
