The lunch is amazing with excellent service. The ladies are the sweetest and go above and beyond. Went for the breakfast buffet recently, and it was so yummy! The only thing I wish it had on the buffet ready to grab was tortillas for the meat dishes.
Food it’s always great there. But they really needs to work more on the services. We spend like 20 minutes waiting by to paid.
This place is delicious! I would consider it a hidden gem. The food was great. Service was great. And the atmosphere was nice. They have really good Mexican food, and I seriously enjoyed the buffet during lunch. Writing this review is making me hungry again lol.
Good family environment. Plenty of food options including gordita and amazing orchata. Yarely was very helpful, professional and caring. She serviced us with great pride and hostility. Thank we’re out of shrimp but I was able to get other sea food. Fish was great and our friend loved the hamburger. Ample parking located right on the Main Street. 5 mins away from Hobbs airport.
The buffet is fantastic. Sundays have asado and Friday has chile rellenos.
Absolutely delicious every aspect of the food people and building was perfection!! Flavorful food in every bite. Delicious tortillas. Good coffee. Best food around!!
We had to wait 20 min it was so full, and the food so good. Good authentic Mexican food. The mole was spicy the Gorditas had that corn flavor, the tacos omg!! How cryspy they were and the taco melted in your mouth, the green beans enchilasas better than the red. The red asado was bomb af too. Well everything was so good we grabbed ofcoarse the buffet and we tried mostly everything. It’s a really good stop if your just passing by Hobbs.
Our visit could have easily been a bad experience. The location is quite out of the way for your every day goer.However the exterior of the building was inviting. Upon entering the establishment i was overwhelmed by calming vibe. Not only was the interior relaxing and authentic, but being greeted by the staff was very welcoming.Our host sat us and our waitress promptly followed with taking our drink orders. It took a little time but she came with our drinks and then took our order.The wait for the food could have been a problem had it been much longer and ladies and gentlemen, it was well worth the wait. The food was presented well and it was unbelievably delicious.I would recommend this establishment to any food foody looking for the real authentic Mexican food.Wonderful experience.I never clean my plate at a restaurant. El Mirador, I did. Thank you.
