13 Apr ‘24 3 pm. Called in to go order. Two fried beef chimichangas with rice and beans and a steak fajita dinner, side of jalapeños and of course chips and salsa . $26.18. The fajita dinner came with the salad in the same container as the hot food. Salad was soggy and wilted from the heat and was not good. Everything else was very tasty.

The food is good. We love the buffet they offer. Servers are friendly and normally attentive. I've had a few visits where I've ordered something from the bar, and it never came. Other than that it's normally a descent tex mex experience even though it says authentic
