The mole was good, the chilaquiles were really good, the eggs were overcooked and were dry and were hard that was unpleasant. The meatball soup was fantastic. The menudo I didn't have any The service was not that great. For $17 you would think it would be better

Not worth 20 per person whatsoever and if you think your paying for ambiance, your not.

If you are looking for home made Mexican food ❓ this is the place. All you can buffet. Fair price. From soups to fried fish. You will not be disappointed.

Dinner buffet for $20 was overall satisfactory. All the meats had great flavor and were super tender. Would’ve liked more options for sides

Place stunk like fish, no dishes were labeled, limited selection, wasn't the cleanest, wobbly table, and definitely wasn't worth $20 per person....would not recommend

I was here for lunch after deciding on a new buffet to try for an overall new experience. This place didn't disappoint. The interior decor was that of a small café decorated with framed artwork of Mexican history and maps. There were no frills elsewhere in the restaurant, and there was open seating. The wait staff made me feel very welcomed and was attentive and friendly.

The buffet was small and filled with delicious looking food. I love an adventure, but being non Hispanic, I was very disappointed in the fact that the food's on the buffet was not labeled. Being a big fan of Mexican food and flavors, I did recognize certain dishes such as the Mole chicken, Pozole, and the Menudo. All 3 of which tasted amazing! Other items offered on the buffet were stewed meats for tacos, chicken flautas, sweet potatoes, fried stuffed poblano, and some type of tamales. I wish the rice porridge they had for dessert would've been served cold and less runny as it reminded me of eating cooked oatmeal for breakfast. All the food was cooked well but very under seasoned and bland. Each table had a salt dispenser, and there was a seasoning dispensary section above the cold food's bar (sour cream, salsa, limes, veggies ect), I'd assume it was for you to add seasoning to your plate as desired to your personal taste (something I did in addition to the Mexican hot sauce offered). If you enjoy seafood, the buffet had it from scallops in a stew, whole fried tilapia, to the heads-on shrimp soup (the fresh shrimps still had the veins, but that is to expected outside of any expensive seafood restaurant).

I noticed all the other customers' dining inside with me (mostly all who were Hispanic) paid for their meals with cash (unsure the bill used). When I paid my bill, 1x buffet with water, I used a credit card and was charged a fee of $20.00. Beforehand, I made sure to eat my fair share of shrimp and fried fish, so I won't knock their hustle if I got overcharged.

Overall, this place is definitely worth a try if you are a restaurant goer like myself. I would not make plans to revisit eating here on purpose, but I wouldn't be against it if it happens to happen.

We came to this restaurant to try out Mexican food and we were not disappointed. This is authentic Mexican food, something that your grandmother would cook for you in Mexico. The service was awesome! The friendly environment and the Christian songs made us feel like we were at mom's house. 🙏🙌🙌 I highly recommend this place.

Too expensive for 2 adults and 2 children of 2 and 3 years old, I paid almost $80 dollars and at least my children didn't even eat the only thing that was more or less good were the mojarras because the rest has neither flavor nor seasoning.

Restaurant looks very unkempt from the years and was very stuffy and hot inside. Food was terrible and everything tasted the same... like nothing. Not even any sauces to give it any flavor. Shrimp soup tastes like they used dirty shrimp water for seasoning and the shrimps weren't cleaned. Was told buffet was 14.99 and then we were charged 40 bucks. Odk how you take flavor out of food but somehow they managed to do it.

The food wasn’t mind blowing, but it felt like a hearty home cooked meal. I enjoyed the quesabirria tacos and it was a generous amount of meat with consome.

If you’re looking for something that isn’t too expensive and decent, not bad at all. I would come here again.
