11 Best Mexican Restaurants in Lovington

“I had the tacos of carne asada“

“jan 10, 2026 I’ve visited this restaurant before without any issues, so this experience was disappointing. When we entered and sat down to eat, a street vendor selling empanadas came into the restaurant. She did not appear to be affiliated with the restaurant. After we placed our drink order, our waitress directed the vendor to our table. Unfortunately, we only had a card to pay, and the vendor stated she did not accept cards. This led to visible frustration from both the vendor and our waitress. Other staff members later brought out our food, and two waitresses attempted to console the vendor, but the situation made us uncomfortable. We were simply there to enjoy a meal and pay for our food, and we did not expect to be put in an awkward position involving a third-party vendor. We have never experienced anything like this here before, but due to feeling pressured and uncomfortable, we’ve decided not to return. We hope the restaurant considers clearer boundaries between staff and outside vendors so future guests don’t have a similar experience. He visitado este restaurante anteriormente sin ningún problema, por lo que esta experiencia fue decepcionante. Cuando entramos y nos sentamos a comer, una vendedora ambulante que vendía empanadas ingresó al restaurante. No parecía estar afiliada con el restaurante. Después de que ordenamos nuestras bebidas, nuestra mesera dirigió a la vendedora a nuestra mesa. Lamentablemente, solo contábamos con tarjeta para pagar, y la vendedora indicó que no aceptaba pagos con tarjeta. Esto provocó una molestia visible tanto por parte de la vendedora como de nuestra mesera. Más tarde, otros miembros del personal nos llevaron la comida, y dos meseras intentaron tranquilizar a la vendedora, pero la situación nos hizo sentir incómodos. Nosotros solo queríamos disfrutar de nuestra comida y pagar nuestra cuenta, y no esperábamos vernos involucrados en una situación incómoda con una persona externa al restaurante. Nunca habíamos tenido una experiencia así en este lugar, pero debido a la incomodidad y la presión que sentimos, hemos decidido no regresar. Esperamos que el restaurante considere establecer límites más claros entre su personal y vendedores externos para evitar que otros clientes pasen por una situación similar.“

“We decided we didn't want the usual menu from Hobbs so we headed to lovington, NM and found ourselves at Pearl's for the first time. It was welcoming and seat ourselves atmosphere. I was glad it was a relax atmosphere so we would be able to enjoy having our children with us . Both kids had a children's enchilada plate and were very satisfied. I enjoyed the Mexican plate and the husband had a burger. Customer service was good. Overall pleasant time. Glad we checked it out.“
