Yummy! If your ever in the area and are looking for some good Mexican food then head on over here!…read more We waited about 15 minutes on a Saturday around lunch time to get seated. People were coming and going. Our server came on over right away, took our drink orders, and brought over some chips and salsa. The chips were delicious and the red salsa was so good! We were a party of 5 and we all decided to try something different. We ordered: One caldo de res (with rice) One menudo (w tortillas) One order of the chicken flautas (salad, guacamole) One mixed fajitas (rice and beans) One order of the Carne Asada tacos (beans) One order of tacos de alambre (rice and beans) Two Mexican sodas, one lemonade, one Dr. pepper Our total came out to be $73. Our food came out one by one and so we all ate at different times. The food though was delicious! The menudo is great and I loved that it was cooked well. The tacos de alambre are seasoned perfectly and the meat is super juicy. The chicken flautas were stuffed with chicken and they were perfect when dipping into the red salsa. We all enjoyed our food and left stuffed. It was busy though, so it was definitely hard to grab our servers attention whenever we needed anything.. Portions are pretty big so come hungry!

Our waitress came on over right away and dropped off menus and took our drink orders. We had two horchatas. We decided to pick from the menu and not go with the buffet they offer for lunch. The buffet in my opinion did not look fresh and did not have enough options. I ordered a chicken tostada and the flautas entree, while my friend ordered a smothered chicken chimichanga. My chicken tostada was soggy by the time it made itself my way. It was loaded with beans, chicken, lettuce, and some other toppings so it broke when I picked it up. My chicken flautas were plain and just missing flavor. My friends chimi was superr salty and so she decided not to eat it. Our drinks sat empty for sometime and when we looked for our server she was sitting at a booth talking to what seemed her friend. So I waved her down to get some refills. The horchata was pretty good!! We needed boxes and she never came back to us so so we grabbed the ones from the buffet line. Food wasn't all that great and the service was ehhh..

This Mexican restaurant has been around long enough for me to remember this is where my senior prom date took is for dinner. Well over 20 years ago. Lol. I'm still not a fan of their salsa, but it's complementary and something to munch on while you wait. The chips are okay. My choice for grub was the #3 chile rellenos ($10.99). It was really good. Like a fatty, I nearly cleaned my plate too. The atmosphere was indeed decorated for Christmas. Carolers for a cause came in to sing and collect donations without being pushy or getting in our faces. They have seating for large and small groups. Our waitress, while friendly and efficient, was a little too efficient. Every time we needed something she would turn around as quickly as possible to hold fetch it just to come back for more requests. Ample parking was available on both sides of the restaurant. Please fix the hours on your front door! No clue when the open. (See my photo.) Oh, the business was good too. Very cool stuff on the horizon...

Many folks park across the street and jaywalk. LOCATION/AMBIANCE Right away, I noticed all the Mexican bottled beers they offer. My brother mentioned the tables were new. THE GRUB There was complimentary chips and salsa. Not very spicy salsa, but well-blended and flavorful. I opted to start the meal off with a Carta Blanca cerveza mainly because I'd never tried it. It was alright. The alambre taco plate ($13). You can request flour tortillas for $1 extra, however, this dish is comprised of 4 small corn tortillas with a layer of "top sirloin with red peppers, green peppers, onions, and cheese. I was asked if I wanted beans and rice with it. I didn't understand the question. Isn't that standard protocol? I really enjoyed the tray of three salsas that they brought out with our food. The red one had a good kick. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB I didn't have my kids in tow. Didn't see any kid's menu, but I'll check next time. SERVICE The two ladies serving the entire place were fast and friendly. MY FAVORITE PART... The amount of bell peppers in my alambre tacos. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Bland beans and rice.

To begin with, the establishment is small and there are only a few parking spots. We were able to park across the street though, so no biggie. We walked inside and 50 million eyeballs all looked our way. We stood there not knowing if we had to sit ourselves or wait for the server. I finally approached the server and asked her what we had to do. She then pointed to a table right by the door for us to sit at, great. It was super busy and hot inside, and almost all the tables were taken. We quickly looked at the menu and knew we wanted tacos. The selection of meats is quite small and there is not a lot to pick from. I went with the steak tacos with everything on top and the hubs had the alambre tacos. He also ordered a michelada. Chips and salsa were brought out right away. The salsa was muy caliente. Our food didn't take too long and both our dishes came with rice and beans. My steak tacos were dry AF. The meat was bland and it had a lot of fatty pieces. It was topped off with some chopped cucumbers and cilantro but nope it still had no flavor. The hubs also was not impressed and he said that his tacos weren't it. (That means it's a no) The michelada was good though! It was yummy! The rice and beans were also pretty good! Our sever came and went a few times, but I had to literally wave my cup in the air for a refill. The inside was hot and by the time we left, my back was sweaty... So sad I didn't like this place. It has potential though.

Their current hours as of 6/28/2023 do not extend into supper time. I stopped in to get an order for takeout since I had more paperwork to finish up at work. The "huevos divorciados" ($13) turned out to be an amazing breakfast. It's just like the name implies - divorced eggs. "Two eggs, one with guisado and one with asado on top. Served with beans and potatoes." Your choice of two corn or flour tortillas. The flour tortillas were homemade. It took about 10 minutes for it to be prepped. I had one more errand to run before I got back to work, but it was still all piping hot at that point. I only wish that next time I get some salsa if possible to put on top of my beans and potatoes. Parking is a gravel lot. Tables and booths are both available for indoor seating. The space is adorned with some really cool metal signs and bright colored decor. The young lady who was serving everyone and working the register was super friendly. Plus she kept me apprised of my wait. Cash or cards are accepted.

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.

*** decent battered fish tacos for lunch ***…read more As soon as I walked in on December 26, 2024, I decided to order takeout instead of dining in. There was this really annoying beeping noise I assume from their alarm system. How does this not hurt everyone else's ears?! I was greeted as soon as I walked in by a very nice young lady who got my order in quickly. It was about a 10 minute wait but the dining room wasn't busy, so she let me sit in a booth. The tilapia was not the freshest fish I've ever had, but we're in the middle of the desert so go figure. There were a total of four street-sized taco with a side of plain Spanish rice and refried beans ($15.99). All three of the sauces were really good. With the fish taco, the avocado sauce was probably the best. My rice was slightly undercooked. There was free parking, but their lot is a little weird right now with half of it paved and half still caliche gravel from when this was the Iron Skillet restaurant. I love the rock 'n' roll decor and the cleanliness, but that beeping has to go. A mixed rock playlist instead straight RHCP would be appreciated. TIP CLOSED ON MONDAYS.
