Can’t rate on atmosphere or service because my order was delivery. The food was excellent though!

I have heard good things about this place for a while now. I gotta say the reward was worth the wait. I was finally able to stop by for lunch to smash my face in some seriously delicious Mexican food. The selection of meats was outstanding, the queso was perfect for pouring over everything, I mean who doesn't want more cheese? The add on's were nice and fresh and I have to say even the hard shells provided at the buffet were sturdy and crispy, not like other places where the hard shells are about as stout as a wet napkin. I filled my first plate with 2 quesadillas and a little bit of everything that I could fit on it. I went back with a second plate and added on what I could not fit on the first. The server came by with soft flour shells, street taco sized, and I made tacos with my piles of fresh meats, beans, cheese, pico, and sauces. The flavor explosion was amazing and I was hooked from the first bite. The seasoning was perfect, the meat was tender and flavorful and writing this makes me want even more. I finished plates 1 and 2 making my own creations of soft tacos, hard tacos, and meat and cheese filled quesadillas. I went back for my third plate, after all this is a buffet. I turned it into a nacho plate minus the chips, they were already at the table with some tasty salsa. I attempted to finish my third heaping plate but I was absolutely STUFFED and was about to pop. You know how you go to a Mexican place and sit there and eat 2 trays of chips with bowls of salsa....yeah not here. The food is seriously good enough and just a few steps away that the chips and salsa are an afterthought. They are not an "appetizer" like most Mexican places they are truly an accessory to the meal itself. I can not recommend the lunch buffet enough, it is worth the drive, worth the cost and delicious until the very last bite with very attentive service. Come hungry, get fat n happy, tip well.

I recently became addicted to this restaurant. After a period of time of being discouraged by plane in flavorless Mexican food in town I tried this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity and incredible flavors that I had been missing. Highly recommend everything here is delicious. I wish they had refried beans which is one of my favorite dishes, but everything else is excellent and they deliver!

This little gem popped up in my Facebook feed last week. A Mexican buffet? Hell yeah! I stopped in yesterday for the insane lunch buffet. When it comes to my personal trifecta for a great restaurant—food, service, atmosphere—this place checks all the boxes. Where has this place been all my life? I'm glad I don’t live too close; I’d be there for the buffet everyday. I will definitely be back.

We really like this place. I wish it was closer to us. We have tried multiple items here and everyone has enjoyed every item. The tacos are my favorite. My husband ordered one of the burritos and really enjoyed it. Our kids ordered the kids menu aroz con Pollo. They said it was very good. My mother likes to get the power bowl. She eats half and takes the other half home for lunch the next day. Their chips are really nice and lightly crispy with a very good salsa. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
