The tables and chairs (big and heavy) reminded me of a few Mexican restaurants I've visited in…read moreMexico. The service started off slow but did get better. A bowl of noodle soup showed up instead of chips and salsa. (Can't say that I'm mad at that). The soup had a nice amount of spice. Got the beef and chicken enchiladas a side of corn and charro beans. After I ordered food came out in about 10 minutes. Very happy as to the wait. I normally don't care for corn tortillas for my enchiladas, but there was so much flavor that I didn't mind. The beans were good however didn't care for the "extras" with them. Was expecting a corn nibblet for my side and was pleasantly surprised with a whole ear of corn. The waitress kept warning me about the hot sauce she brought. While very spicy I found both to have a good flavor. I can say that the next time I am in Hobbs I will come back to Maria's.

Taqueria Jalisco has improved drastically since my last updated review…read more The Mexican restaurant is not quite where it was when I first reviewed them. The food is better. But they received their liquor license again a while back. Service really has improved... maybe the really young waitresses check on us a bit too much now. Lol. Their cleanliness has improved too. A family-friendly restaurant for sure - just not my favorite in Hobbs anymore.

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.

Let me start by saying it took a bit to find Vaquero Taquero Mucho and once I found it I debated…read moregoing elsewhere, but I am glad I went in.

On a foggy Monday morning in rural New Mexico, I pushed through the mysterious darkness on Highway…read more180 in search of breakfast. 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!

This past Saturday (3/9/2024), I tried Trinilov Island Cuisine…read more It's a food truck - technically a food trailer - out of Hobbs, NM. They were set up near my daughter's karate dojo fundraising event. The owner is a super sweet lady from Trinidad - the country located northeast of the coast of South America. She came to New Mexico Junior College to run on the cross country & track teams. Now she coaches there. Has a family here. And is a "boss babe." I thoroughly enjoyed the jerk chicken tacos. It was three tacos with very fresh toppings of cabbage, cilantro, onions, a jerk sauce that was only mildly spicy for me, and limes. The only drawback was a bone I found in one of my tacos. Other menu items included: Fried chicken ($13) Kids fried chicken ($6) Water, Pepsi, Coca-Cola or Sprite = $1 To find out where their next event will be, check out: https://www.facebook.com/TRINILOVislandcuisine?mibextid=LQQJ4d RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 5 | Price: 4

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.

Went driving around and I almost jumped out of the car because I was so excited to come back here to eat her great food. Small meat market with a line of customers. Yes if you do come in it's always good to know a little Spanish. Can't beat the great prices. I ordered a few tacos the Pastor was delicious and the lengua was nice and tender. Great flavors and awesome prices. Lunch for two $12.82. Can't beat that. They have a seating area and restrooms. It's a small place but they put out some authentic dishes. If you're close by you should definitely give this little spot a try. Love me some good Mexican food.
