Yuuu ummm! One of our faves when we're travelling to the parks. The pozole is the real deal, the botana sampler is a perfect light-ish meal for me. My husband likes the mix n match street tacos. Great 'rita menu & always get the churros to go! 😉

This was an amazing place as some very delicious foods. Love the ability to make it just the way I wanted it with the lunch buffet. Everything was so fresh they were continuously putting out more. Some of the best Mexican food I've had in years would definitely recommend to anyone

This is a beautiful restaurant that is large enough to accommodate large parties. The food was amazing. Come on the weekend brunch and enjoy a great buffet of items. I was a little in food envy seeing the fajitas served to other tables. I will return to get some as the portions are huge.
