Well let start by saying this is the best kept secret in Farmers Branch. We found this restaurant by mistake and it was the best mistake we ever made in food choice. When we walked in we were greeted with a smile as if you were coming into someone home. They have many food choices and it's all FRESH and made with love in the kitchen like you mother is cooking it for you. The only thing I can say is that if you don't come eat here you will be missing out. You will leave here with a full stomach and a smile on your face.

We came and ate AT THIS RESTAURANT, hoping that the "so called Mexican food was AUTHENTIC!......BUT... guess what, WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED! I tell you truthfully, El Matador, Chuy's, and Mi Tata's have better authentic Mexican food than this restaurant does! Really, REALLY....WAS IT REALLY MEXICAN FOOD WHEN IT TASTED MORE LIKE CHINESE FOOD?There was hardly no taste to the choice of food we have gotten off the buffet, so sorry to say: THAT'S IT WE ARE SORRY TO SAY, WE QUIT! Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy the food for what our friend wasted her money on it!

No complaints about anything I've tried. They remove old food from the line. A lot of buffets don't do this. Very friendly and attentive wait staff.

The food wasn't good! It just didn't have that Mexican taste to it-it was really bland! So disappointed-I wish we never chosen to come here!

The restaurant was clean and the people were friendly. No staff came to our table to refill our drinks or ask if we needed anything. We were very disappointed. It was cheap easy made so called Mexican food. The quality of the food was poor and as cheap as you can get. The food had little to no flavor. The meats were all drowned in liquids. The desserts? Well, also easy and cheap. Nothing impressive at all. Not a place to ever go back to.I left my plate full of food. I drank the water, and unhappily paid the bill and left.

We recently visited this restaurant for dinner, and while the food was okay and the service was good, I left feeling extremely disappointed. Imagine my surprise when I arrived only to find that they had closed earlier than their usual closing time. As a customer, this lack of consistency and reliability is unacceptable.
