Maria Bonita Mexican Grill

My husband and I were in Hobbs for the day so stopped here for lunch. It was very busy but we were able to get seated right away.

While reviewing this I have to remind myself that this isn’t Tex-Mex like we are used, so while it was different, the food was still good.

Instead of serving chips and salsa they serve you a bowl of soup, I believe it’s Fideo. It was good but we would have preferred chips and salsa.

I ordered the Birria tacos with a baked potato and charro beans. The tacos were full of meat. I didn’t care for the beans because my bowl had 2 large fat pieces and I wasn’t expecting the hot dogs cut up in them so I didn’t really get to try them.

My husband got the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. While he said that they were good the chicken didn’t have much flavor but it was moist. The green sauce was hot, which he loves, but I didn’t try it. He tried the side of grilled cactus…..interesting to see that on the menu. He wasn’t a fan but if you like cactus it was probably tasty.

Overall, the place was nice, service was fast, and food was good.

Great food found out from a local this was place to eat so tried it out was packed but fast to sit and Great food! Friendly staff

Stopped here after a swim meet with two hungry teenagers and it did not disappoint. The service was fantastic and it has been the best Mexican food we have eaten since being stationed in New Mexico. The everything we ordered was amazing, the birria tacos was a table favorite. If ever in the area again we will definitely be back. I also, recommend this place if you are looking for delicious home made Mexican food.

My buddy and I visited Hobbs and checked Maria Bonita and man was it good! Their food is very authentic and fresh. I got the Arrachera (see picture). Many good plates to try when we visit again. Highly recommend!

The food and service is absolutely great. We've been here several times and we are never disappointed. The staff is friendly and they always have smiles as they work, which is not something you see very often these days. Our server, Judith, was awesome!

When they bring your drinks, they also bring you consomé, a very tasty broth. This time we ordered a caldo de camarón (shrimp soup), bean and cheese burrito w/fries from the kid's menu, and elote. Yum!

The table already has a variety of bottles of hot sauces, but they still bring out their homemade red and green sauces. If you like to add some spiciness to your food, you are going to love these. The green sauce is made from jalapenos and the red is made from árbol chiles. They both are amazingly flavorful and pack a punch.
