Real mexican food. Haven't had this authentic since I left California. The molè was exceptional as was most of thier offerings. Staff was accommodating and cheerful. Lots of dishes with nopales (cactus) in them which I love. Definitely going back again. Very glad I found this place.

Genuine in more ways than one. My family loved it, and we'll be back.

Exceptional food and experience. The food is served in covered clay pots and so many authentic foods to choose from like cactus or queso, candied oranges and the most delicious sweet and SPICY tomatillo salsa.

Many meat entrees and several beans dishes too. The rice is very tasty as is the squash! I enjoyed making my own tostadas with chicken tinga and loading it with fresh topping from the salad bar. Cabbage, onions, cilantro, sauces and even cubed white cheese.

Very interesting foods, clean, neat and hot corn tortillas brought to the table as well.
Our plates were removed several times but drink refills were offered only once. Maybe I was just extra thirsty from the delicious salsa.

Highly recommend this dining experience!

We were enjoying our food and conversation too much and forgot to take pictures. 😉

We can't afford to eat here. Maybe one day we can. But I am giving this review because of others comments.

So i actually found out about this place from tiktok! Was skeptical but instantly relieved when I walked in this is a pure AUTHENTIC Mexican buffet. Was delicious and after my first plate figured out how to make my plate properly the food was flavorful and tasted fresh will definitely be back

First time great, second time the food was cold and dry,and stale. We were told 15-20 minutes for them to put food out because they had hardly nothing out upon arrival, we waited and still only presented rice. Then was told we will pay for our drinks but we sent our food back and asked for a refund and was told we could go elsewhere. No more business from us.
