Normally, I choose a place to go out to eat. Well, especially this specific day in general, it was my BIRTHDAY! So I just told my parents to help me decide, that we should go somewhere new. First time type of visit, and we heard about it so we decided to go check it out ourselves. I was unsatisfied with the food honestly. I felt bad leaving a plate full of unflavored food. You pay to eat and would expect a great experience, especially for your birthday and you know, its a MEXICAN restaurant. I am Mexican myself, and I was disappointed by the results of my visit. My family and I drove about half an hour just to give it a visit. My parents basically forced the food in because they wanted to make up what they paid for. I am a Mexican-American who is not high class, but I am a person who goes out a lot. I do judge businesses, and I only report this on here so they know how to better off. I would like to give it a second try, but after a certain amount of time. In fact, I would change this review if the experience gets better during my second visit. Maybe the business or the cook(s) were having a rough day that day I went in. I am dedicate myself to studying business, I want to be an entrepreneur, and I do a lot of YouTubing. Obviously I will not make a video talking bad about this business -- but I can make a complimentary video if the experience betters off during my second visit.

I really wanted to like this place, but I found the food to be mediocre at best, the atmosphere to be entirely too cramped, and the service to be mediocre as well. Definitely the worst part about this place was the food however. The number one complaint I have is the fact that the buffet had multiple empty trays that were never refilled, and some of the food that was in the trays looks like it had been sitting there for hours without being replaced or refilled. If youre spending nearly $12 to have a meal there, you should get your moneys worth. Empty trays are inexcusable at a buffet for a significant amount of time as I saw with this place. Speaking of the atmosphere, it seemed to me that the owners of this place were not anywhere near ready to open their doors. There were soap dispensers and towel dispensers in the restroom that hadnt been properly installed or installed at all. There were also pictures waiting to be hung sitting on the floor in cardboard wrappers instead of hung on the walls. The place was kind of a mess and did not make me feel confident that the food would be any better prepared than the restaurant was to be opened.

There is no waiting area, but also no-one at the hostess stand to greet people. We waited anyhow, and when the came around they directed us to a table next to the trash by the back door out of the kitchen. The place is too small for the number of tables. The staff is relatively inattentive. The few interactions I had with staff were negative. They pushed past without saying excuse me, and the host came by our table to tell me I was eating "creatively" with the tone that I was an idiot. The food was mediocre, mostly covered in cilantro to attempt to make up for that, and regularly the buffet trays were empty. The quesadillas were made with lunch meat ham and lunch counter Munster cheese. While we were waiting to be seated the staff completely ignored us. A family of five left. We should have done the same. Dont bother.

La verdad no saben cocinar toda la comida estaba salada y en algunos ni tienen sabor....lo único bueno que estaba es el pastel y eso porque lo compran *-*

This place is delicious! I couldnt get enough of the food. Theyre reasonably priced for what youre getting. Definitely coming back and strongly recommend you try their taco bar. To top it all of the staff is wonderful! The owners walked around making sure everyone, including ourselves, were happy with everything.

Really good posole, horchata and tacos. The food could be warmer and there definitely needs to be some sort of area added where people waiting to come in can wait so they cant block the food. Not bad for a new establishment though, they just need to work out the quirks. I will be going back.

If you know your way around authentic Mexican food, youll find plenty to eat! If you dont, it might seem daunting. The menu changes daily but the food is consistently delicious and the staff are amenable. Theres a made-to-order taco bar with buffet for the main meal and desert.

Liked it unil the taco guys came out to ask people if they wanted tacos and then went ALL around my table and didnt bother to ask me !! If you gonna come and ask people do EVERY table not only the ones you want to!! But otherwise I liked it!! And Alex the waiter was the BEST !!

1st time being here, limited food, some trays were empty but food was overall good. Customer service very good too. At 11$ all you can eat its a great deal. I would definitely recommend this buffet for you and your family. Will be coming back here very soon!

The food is very good. A limited variety but tastes good. The waitress was more concerned about her phone as she stood next to our table with dishes piling up playing on her phone. The man at the taco bar was also busy on his phone in between making tacos.

The food has a good home style flavor that I enjoyed. I loved the taco bar! However, the buffet seems small for a buffet and I wish they had other mexican staples like enchiladas, tamales, and chicken dishes.

The food was really good and the staff was very nice. We also got a first visit discount that was really unexpected. I love that you can also order some tacos. Very good experience.
