This place is my favorite. Food is great, servers know you by name, cool spot to watch planes landing and taking off. Definitely try the fried ice cream...

They were short staffed with several large groups. We waited for everything

We went for the buffet, but had to wait for them to refill the trays. Then we ordered sodas & by the time we finished our food, we still hadn't received it. I had to ask 3 times. I was very disappointed as we're our party of 15.
The only thing I didn't like is the fact that the menu has not changed in the 20 something years I've eaten here. I was hoping to get birria tacos while in Santa maria visiting. And that's a really popular food item literally everywhere right now so you'd think they'd hop on the trend. But the tamales i ended up getting were delicious and not dry like some other restaurants I've eaten at. And the prices are good.
Tried the Wednesday buffet, we arrived maybe 1.5 hrs after it started but food was already almost gone, lukewarm, and they didn't refill it. There were no labels so couldn't tell what was what or if it was spicy or not
Management has no people skills, he was complaining about menu items have different pricing than shown. Order a bowl of menudo for menu price of 11.99 they came at me for a bowl at 19.99 with a free extra bowl not discussed during ordering. Manage was giving me excuses and no apologies, he was complaining about another customer to me in a negative way, terrible management and it shows on the employee faces , never going back management need to treat humans better
One of our absolutely favorite places to go for a great meal, friendly service and wonderful atmosphere when we were living in Santa Maria :) I miss this place terribly !! Love you guys

Seems like a family run restaurant, at an airport!
Been coming here since I was a kid. Never had the white chicken enchiladas until recently and I must say they have the best white sauce I’ve ever had! Definitely a must try if you’re ever at the Santa Maria Airport. The staff is really helpful as well.
HORRIBE! If I could give ZERO stars I would. It took 15 minutes to be acknowledged and seated...once seated we NEVER had a server come to our table. After sitting there for 30 minutes we just got up and left. *note restaurant wasn't busy (maybe 7 tables occupied). We used to go there quite a bit but I'll NEVER go back

Dining solo was fine. Food was delivered quickly. Attentive bar staff in the cantina. Chips and salsa were decent.
