One of the worst experiences! The reviewer who said they have gluten free and vegan options is a…read morebig ole liar. Or at least they don't anymore. I should have looked more carefully at the menu, but I have never been to a less vegetarian friendly Mexican food place. I ordered a Paloma and it was the worst I have ever had. It tasted like it had no alcohol at all. The place is tiny, and then they had a band coming to play. It was vibrating the entire building. My teeth were rattling. The music itself would have been pleasant if it wasn't eardrum shattering. My husband liked his drink. The service was fine, although there was a communication barrier, I blame myself and not the waitress. I think that's about it. It was also not cheap like others are commenting. This was a big fat fail. Let me add - per my Apple Watch, the decibel level got up to 107 db, and 10+ mins over 95 can damage your hearing! I've been to plenty of places with live music, but never anything that incredibly loud. There were really young kids in there, too!

OVERALL El Coco Pirata's is a chain Mexican seafood…read morerestaurant in Hobbs, NM. They have other locations throughout Colorado and Texas. I really enjoyed a night out here with my parents for a unique meal in this small town. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 4.5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING Could be better. There is some on the north side right next to the restaurant or in the lot just across the street. There is minimal parking on the south side. It's a busy street so be careful. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This medium-sized venue is located on the south side of town with busy Dal Paso Street nearby. My dad refers to it as the ghetto. Some areas are rundown indeed and some outside work could be done, but it's okay. Inside, the high ceilings, flat screen TVs, Spanish music, and some oceanside vibes invite you to an open-style dining area. There was one lone restroom which I personally hate because sharing with other men is disgusting. It's well-lit inside. While we were there, a live 5-piece band came in to play about 8 songs. They never asked us gringos what we wanted to hear. Lol. THE GRUB Complimentary chips were decent, but not very salty. The first batch of salsa was mild. The second batch we received was a bit more smoky-flavored and had more of a chipotle essence to it. + michelada especial ($11) with Modelo - had bacon, cucumber, and shrimp too. So refreshing after a long day! + filete al olivo ($18) - "Basa swai fillet skillet cooked with olive oil, garlic, and chile de arbol served with rice and salad." I really enjoyed this because it came with three small flour tortillas - the perfect portion for me. But, the outer edges of the fish were a bit crispy and hard to cut into with my fork. That's the only silverware we were given was a fork each. + torre altata ($23) - this was a tower of all kinds of items: shrimp ceviche, cooked shrimp, lime juice-marinated shrimp, octopus, Mexican scallops, tuna, onion and cucumber in a red sauce and topped with avocado and chiltepin pepper. My dad said it was way too much for him, but it was good. + tacos de camaron ($14) - my mom devoured hers, not even bothering to let us try it so it must have been really good. I think it was three smaller tacos. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB They had a nice little kid's menu, but my kids were elsewhere so I'm not sure how it fared. SERVICE Most of the employees spoke English, but were also bilingual in Spanish and all of them were friendly. They worked super fast to bus tables, get drink orders, and serve meals. MY FAVORITE PART... My michelada! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The wait to get in on a Friday night. Why don't they use OpenTable?! Lol.

RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4.5 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 5 | Price: 4 PARKING Free plaza lot parking. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This medium-sized brick and mortar pizza place is located at the Navajo East Plaza on Navajo Drive. Inside it was a simple, clean design. The menu on the wall to the right cannot be missed nor can the large wood fire oven. High-top tables for two and a few tables for parties of maybe 6-8 in a group were available. THE GRUB Their pizzas come in two sizes: 8" (4 slices) 12" (8 slices) I opted for the 8" "New Mexican" ($11) which was their green chili chicken. It was so delicious I couldn't stop eating it; however, it was the perfect size for my ever-slowing metabolism. There was a bit of black residue on my fingers from the bottom of the thin crust that made contact with the wood fire oven, but I liked that smoky flavor and didn't mind that minor inconvenience. It wiped off easy with a paper towel. They have a pizza called "Boujee Lady" - LOL. Might have to try that one next time as it is pepperoni with "burrata cheese and finished with hot honey drizzle." Also, they offer an Italian Chopped Salad. It looked amazingly fresh. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's menu available. SERVICE Welcoming and quick to take my order on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. I barely had time to go through my to-do list and answer a few emails before my pizza was ready. MY FAVORITE PART... The New Mexican! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... It's not that recognizable from outside. Kind of plain Jane signage. I didn't even know this place existed even though I walked by a week beforehand. TIPS + Closed on Sundays. + They have an upcoming "Slasher Sale" October 14-19, 2024 - "Buy one get one 50% off"... Check their social media for those special hours: Instagram @woodfirepizzanm or https://www.facebook.com/WoodFirePizza + Order online for pickup or delivery at: https://www.woodfirepizzanm.com/ + Mobile pizza trailer also available to cater events!

It was freezing in there first of all. I was with my mom, and she is elderly. No seating outside…read morewhere it was warmer. Good: the sauce is way too salty. The crust had no flavor. I ordered the pizza with the truffle drizzle....no flavor of truffle at all...it was just oily on top. My mom had the pepperoni pizza, which ended up being even saltier. The salad we shared was premade in one of those clear boxes..nothing special about the salad... for 9.00, it was a sad disappointing salad. I wish the pizza had been better...

The restaurant is owned and run by some older people who still were hustling to get everyone's food and kept the coffee refilled. No printed menu...just tell the waitress what you want...I ordered eggs and bacon and it also came with hash browns. The eggs were cooked perfectly! There was one regular who started talking to us and then went and got his food and ate with us. He was a funny and fun character. He had so many jokes....one for every letter of the alphabet....and more! The owners have a huge collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia. The decor is in showcases and the place is well lit. We arrived before they opened and there were others already waiting for them to open. We highly recommend this fun friendly place!!!

OVERALL Hot Hot Cajun Juicy Seafood is a nice change of pace…read morefor this small town. I'd go here again some day. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4| Service: 4 | Ambiance: 2 | Price: 3 PARKING There is ample free parking at the Broadmoor Mall which is more like a hall. Anyway. You shouldn't have a problem parking within walking distance. Also, trucks/trailers should have plenty of space to park. LOCATION/AMBIANCE This restaurant took the place of the long-standing Furr's which held a special place in my heart. They have repainted and redecorated the main dining room with seafood and ocean vibes. THE GRUB Both my significant other and I opted for the 1/2 pound crab boil ($17.99). We both wanted garlic butter seasoning at medium spice level. My photo didn't do it justice, but each steamed bag has several slices (like maybe 5) of andouille sausage, a piece of corn on the cob, and maybe 3 small potatoes. We really enjoyed ours, but the crab could have been more fresh. Welcome to Hobbs, NM where most seafood arrives frozen. :) The taro milk tea ($4.99) was iced, but stayed super warm for a long time. While it had a slightly sweeter flavor than I like, it was better when I got home to add ice to it as I did not drink much of it at the restaurant. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUBI did not see a kid's menu, however, my kiddos were in school & I forgot to ask if they had one. SERVICE We were not promptly greeted - it even took a while for someone to seat us, but once they did things went smoothly. Our waitress didn't even ask my SO if he wanted his tea refilled. She just did it. Love that. MY FAVORITE PART... How our waitress hustled for us about 10 other tables all by herself. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... The two out-of-sync TVs playing music videos. TIP Several customers came in for order pickups, so it seems like a decent spot for takeout.

*** This is the restaurant gem of Lovington, New Mexico ***…read more On Friday nights, Pioneer Steak House is packed! There was a nice big parking lot. How it works... you either sign in or let the hostess know how many. The lobby area is tiny. There are seats but you'll probably have to share a bench. They accommodate large parties of it seems up to 12. I kept hearing that number. Lol. On 7.11.2025, I was seated at a a quieter area by myself. Reba took over as my waitress. She is the sweetest little ol' lady! She brought me fresh rolls. Even one to-go before I left. The buffet seemed interesting, but I wanted the 8 oz. ribeye steak ($16.95 with a side & a salad bar visit). They served it in a reasonable amount of time, medium rare. It was perfect. Good fatty pieces to keep it juicy. Reba asked me if I wanted steak sauce. No thanks. Not needed. Before that I visited the salad bar. It's a decent salad bar. The ladies refresh it often and tidy it up. I just don't like the tight fit and the cords in the way on the floor if you have to use the other side like I did. The steamed broccoli with my steak was fine. I had sweet tea to drink ($2.75). All that food for just a little over $21... I'm a fan!

The owner has been operating this business for 30 years (as of Feb 2026). The buffet had a beautiful fresh selection of veggies and few special things too. The brisket was melt in your mouth and the BBQ chicken was moist and feel off the bone. The sausage was not spicy but very flavorful. The dinner rolls are like clouds! And the strawberry pie, brownies and peach cobble and chocolate pudding and ice cream were available if you still had room for them! Not only would we whole hearty recommend we may go back for breakfast! Thank you Terry!

Enduring those, a bacon cheeseburger come loaded with onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Add ketchup, mayo, or mustard to taste. The bacon was flavorful and plentiful. The burger was real beef. It was a hair overcooked to the point of being dry. I hope this gets better. The cost before tax was $13.99. Went back. The burger was juicy and delicious. I did notice those with to go orders sit at tables until their orders are ready. Meaning, if you are dining in, you may not have a table because of the hoarders staring at their devices.

Bonus Burger was 3.25 stars for me. I am a harsh burger critic, so take this with a grain of salt…read more While I did not order myself a shake, I might next time because when I tried one of my daughter's Oreo shakes I was impressed. Additionally they have really good cherry lime soda that had the best fizz. I appreciate extra fizzy sodas the older I get. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 3.5 | Service: 3.5 | Ambiance: 3.5 | Price: 3 This newly opened (in April 2026) burger restaurant is located in a strip mall across from Del Norte Park in Hobbs, NM. There was ample, free parking plus a drive-thru window on May 30, 2026. They currently accept phone orders. My girls and I went inside because even though they should know what they want they always have annoying questions and take forever looking at menus. Lol. The service was friendly and welcoming, however, they didn't know how to explain "Bonus Sauce", one guy did not sweep the floors properly, and we waited about 20 minutes for our takeout. On to the food... First off, my medium thickness patty could have been juicier. It was a bit dry, but the rest of the ingredients were noticeably fresh. Second, not a huge fan of their cheese. It doesn't melt properly. AI says it is "a combination of American cheese and cheddar." Yuck, yuck, yuck. No wonder I did not like it - I have a disdain for American cheese. Alas, the crinkle fries were actually really good. Supposedly made fresh too. If you like the sauce at Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, you'll like the Bonus Sauce. The cup that the young lady at the register gave us to sample was used to dip our fries in - very yummy. Pre-tax Prices: - #3 AVOCADO BURGER COMBO W/Fries & Medium Cherry Lime = $13.99 - #3 AVOCADO BURGER COMBO W/Fries = $13.99 - Medium Oreo Milkshake= $5.49 - #1 BURGER COMBO W/Fries (add mustard, mayo, and ketchup, while keeping the bonus sauce... that's my kid LOL) = $11.99 - Small Oreo Milkshake = $4.49 As you can see, there is no price break whatsoever for substituting a shake with the soda in the combos. That's steep for takeout from a fast food restaurant for 3 people. Lastly, the music did not match the vibes inside, but it was nice and cool on a hot day. I don't know what these kids were playing but it was one reason why I didn't want to eat inside.
