I'm upset I spent $15.00 on this buffet. It wasn't good the food was cold and gelatinous it had to have been sitting there since lunch . I didn't have a server, I had to find someone for a refill . They told me my server was busy In an empty restaurant. I wish I had gone next door to Cheddars or Texas Roadhouse . I just won't go back here . Total waste of my money .

The staff is friendly but the restaurant wasn't what I was expecting or hoping for. There isn't very many options and I was underwhelmed by everything I had and some things I couldn't even finish. It definitely wasn't worth $13.99 in my opinion.

We got there right at noon. Everyone was friendly and attentive! The food was flavorful and fresh. Overall it was a good experience and I will return.

Have been there about 5 times since they opened and have plans to go again Saturday. Have been very impressed with the food and service. Very friendly group. Family enjoys our visits there and those on Keto diet never leave hungry. Continue to recommend this restaurant. Everything is clean, especially the bathrooms, you don't even need to touch the door to come out because they have an forearm grip to open it. That is especially with viruses so rampant now!

So I came in here with the highest hopes! Was very excited to try it out. Unfortunately was an absolute letdown! The food was low quality, every protein I ate was tough, the fried chicken was cold and leathery skin. The music was too loud and in Spanish. I sat through most of my meal needing napkins so just went to the restroom and washed my hands. The staff was friendly but that's the only positive I had. . If they upped the quality of the food, there is a lot of potential!

I was so pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness, the service, and the food quality. There is so much to choose from, you could never try everything. I can only review the food that I tried, and that was the shrimp fajitas, Carnitas, guacamole, broccoli and cauliflower gratin. I purposely stayed away from anything with bread, or sugar, and I can tell you that I left feeling full but not weighed down. Both my husband & my son we're pleased, and they had many different items. They offer both corn and flour tortillas, along with rice and beans and all of the fixings for fajitas or Carnitas. You can make a taco salad or you can have so many different types of meats. I generally don't like buffets, but I think this one has changed my mind! We will be back. The dessert selection looks amazing, and my son had coffee ice cream and a piece of cheesecake and said both were very good. Lunch was $36.60 for three of us, and we all had water. I would like to reiterate how wonderful the service was, both attentive and friendly and informative, much better service than I have had at very high dollar restaurants.

This place is the definition of mediocre. There is a wide variety of options but all of them are relatively low quality. The meats are flavorless and can leave a bizarre aftertaste that is rather unpleasant. The Mac n cheese was the best thing I ate but still was not memorable. The deserts were tasty but were rock hard and very stale. Service was friendly and place was clean... great water as well. $14 is a little pricy for this buffet as I think $9.99 would be a more fair price. Will not be returning any time soon but I would recommend coming here if you want to stuff yourself with a bunch of random food.

Absolutely delicious! Not your normal buffet spread, I thoroughly enjoyed the spices and Latin twist. Everyone was incredibly friendly and plates we're cleared right away. Will definitely be going back!

I met some friends for lunch here and kept getting distracted from the conversation by how delicious the food was. I especially loved the carnitas, the guacamole, and the mushrooms. Service was attentive and friendly.

Me and wife stopped in on the new rest that is in the old Golden Corral building. All I can say is IT'S TERRIBLE. The food had to be prepared a few days ago and warm up at least 5 times. NOTHING was eatable. The salad had no ice burg lettuce and you had to bend down, and wedge yourself between the overhead glass and the table, to get to the dressing, that you could not read what kind it was, as all the label were turn the other way. They were adding water to the side dishes to make them look less over done and old and overcooked. You could not pay me to eat there again. Oh there was one item that was OK the tea was good.
Food was good, had some dishes that reminded me of my childhood. Service was quick and price was okay. However, plantains were way too sweet and they didn't have chips available for the guacamole. Pretty good overall though.

Had high hopes for a good dinner but everything was bland or in a steamer for waaay to long. Will not be coming back. Service was good.

Same owners as El Rodeo? Estaban from spencer you need to come save these guys from disaster! Food wasn't terrible but it isn't special either. Mostly American fare not much Latin at all except the terrible music and sketchy service. Hope it's just growing pains we were expecting something great and it was like Golden Coral remake.

Will not be back. The quality of the food is below par. All food is overcooked. Ordered a hamburger medium, came back and saw it was burnt. The cook wasn't there, waited for a few minutes for him to return and ask for another hamburger that's not burnt, gave up. Waiter brought the hamburgers to our table. I tried a couple bites. I could tell if it wasn't burnt then it wouldn't be too bad, but the meat was covered in pepper. Corn on the cob was very burnt. The salad bar wasn't great either when comparing it to Golden Corral's. I did like their flan (custard). With 2 buffets, plus tax and tip it came to $38. For the same price we could of had a great meal at Cheddars. Also, they were playing very loud rap music. I told them when checking out that this restaurant isn't a bar so should have better music. The waiters is like they are at a party.

I admit I had some curiosity about what a Latin inspired buffet looks like. I was in a rush so there are no photos to share with this post. Let me say this, there are a lot of protein options. I would even say the protein options are interesting and that they are flavorful. There are some small, finishing touches that would have made this a lot more interesting. Some hot sauces, some creme fraiche/crema...some cilantro, some pickled onion...etc. There are flour and corn soft tortillas wrapped in foil so I got the feeling they wanted me to jam them full of the delicious meats. I just want a little more umph guys. Something to carry it over the finish line. Also, the servers need to focus on work and stop socializing. There's way too many people working if you've got time to stand around and chat in a group of 4 or more. ;) Love the idea, keep up the good work.
