    Buffet
    Jeff D.

    MADRE SANTA!!! That's it the Buffet is gone! It's a sad day indeed. Apparently it was not a money maker. I get it but I'm bummed. We still had a nice dinner as I decided to dip into the street tacos (with onion and cilantro of course) and they' were good. They are Carne Asada, Pastor and Carnitas but I would pass on the Tinga. It wasn't enough spice for me. We would come back but probably if we're in the area as we come from Largo. ¡Ora!

    We drove past this place a few times, and finally went there. Great decision, entering the restaurant itself gives you the feel of an old Mexican tavern. Definitely a positive feel, we ordered our food, our waitress Juanita was friendly and very helpful. We decided to order a couple of beers and a guacamole to start. The guacamole was delicious, we followed that with tacos ( lengua, chorizo and Shrimp) and a Pork Enchilada. They were both delicious. We shared a desert, the Chimichanga de Pastel de Queso, diferent but very good. We will definitely return the next time we are in town.

    Food still tasty as the first time. Service still came with a smile and attentiveness just saw it was the first time. All I can say is go eat enjoy.

    Taco Salad with steak
    Aubrey F.

    Had to check out this spot after hearing someone rave about it. Service was excellent! Our waitress was very attentive and helpful with picking out what we wanted. I ordered a taco salad with steak. It was delicious! So flavorful and fresh. The steak was cut up a little small but cooked perfectly. The menu had great options! They also had a buffet bar with options too!

    Had friend drive an hour to meet me here for the buffet. Don't make this mistake.

    Came for lunch buffet, which is advertised on signage outside the restaurant and Facebook. Friend drove an hour to meet me for buffet. Upon arrival, informed that the buffet is no longer an option. Ordered chips & salsa ($4.) Chips were hot crisp and seasoned properly. Salsa was thin watery and very mild, bits of fresh cilantro were a nice (and only) taste. Asked for more salsa, when told it would cost more we ordered guacamole ($5) which did come with more chips. The guacamole was fresh and chunky, but small ramekin portion. Disappointed that the buffet had been cancelled (yet still advertised on FB, and large outdoor signs) we ordered "Monday Special" burrito. ($10.99) Burrito tasted ok, nothing special and smallest burrito I've seen since Taco Bell value menu. After iced tea bill was $36.00 for a most forgettable experience. We were told that buffet would be open for Cinco de Mayo only if that helps anyone....it didn't help us on this day. Service was just OK, we tipped well because it's not the workers fault that buffet is still advertised. Better choices available for sure. Maybe tape over the huge BUFFET signs and an announcement on web platforms?

    Pollo Asada Street Tacos

    I always drive past this restaurant, stopped by for the first time to pick up some food. Got their pollo asado street taco and asked for their spicy salsa!!! Best combination!!! Will be back to try their other items.

    Okay, I am rarely surprised by a restaurant but this place is AWESOME. We came on recommendation of my partner's coworker. I'm taking time to review because I am functionally useless at buffets (been a long time since I've lamented my lack of appetite) and he is on his third trip. Literally, everything we have tried has been delicious. They do have a regular menu but we both opted for the buffet. So, this is not what I call "mid-Iowa Mexican" which I privately call less than stellar places run by folks that think mayo is spicy. This food has flavor. Seasonings have been used. The hot salsa is actually hot... and complex, and flavorful. This is not a can of crushed tomatoes and some Franks Red Hot. I could take shots of this. My partner has eaten his way through every meat offered. Steak fajita, pulled chicken, ground beef, chorizo and peppers. All fantastic. The Sangria is lovely and actually has a hint of cinnamon. (It's all wine based cocktails here, so I stuck to wine.) We did the buffet, as stated, so we didn't require much in the way of service but our server was super prompt and friendly, and kept our table from being overtaken by the debris of gluttony. There is fresh fruit (partner just pretty much just decimated a whole pineapple) and rice pudding... my one deep sadness is that I heard rumors of unlimited flan that was nowhere to be found. My soul weeps, but the second Sangria is helping. They have BOGO wine cocktails 3-6 so I will plan more carefully next time. To wrap up, this place is also quirky and maximalist in the best possible way. Like, a hip Mexican Auntie designed this and I want her to come to my house next. Also, kind of wondering if they'll let me buy that Frida painting. Come here, tell your friends. This buffet is my best discovery since the sunrise crepes at Marquis Cafe like 5 years ago. Offering further proof of my assessment is that only one other table/ carry out has not responded to the staff en español.

    This place has it all, great authentic Mexican feel paired with great delicious Mexican food. As someone who calls San Diego home, I still stand by saying San Diego has the best Mexican food in the world. I haven't had much luck since moving to Florida if you check my latest reviews you'll see i have been on a search for quality Mexican cuisine. I ordered a Carne Asada burrito which is always been my favorite. I customized it with no issues by adding potato. The difference between a Californian burrito to a traditional burrito is back home on the West Coast we put French fries or potato in the burrito. This place did not disappoint one bit. The burrito was packed full and with a variety of flavor in every bite that kept me wanting more and more. (I finished the entire burrito on the beach) yum yum more more! They season their potatoes deliciously with a mild spice and the sauces are almost perfect. I was not expecting this good of a burrito. It was the perfect burrito and im happy to say I found this place. They also have a buffet and I plan on coming back over and over. If you have not been here I strongly recommend Shout out to the chef with the skills and the waitress for the excellent service. You guys Rock!

    I love this place. Text Max. Very very reasonably priced. Everything is super tasty and super fresh. I've always had the Buffet, I've never ordered from the menu. But if the buffet is good, I'm sure the menu items are very very good. Highly recommend this place. It reminds me of home..

    Excellent - Food was authentic & fresh. And the price was right! $16 during the week $19 on weekends.

Exterior made me want to try it when it was first opened. Once inside, the interior made us definitely want to stay and enjoy the atmosphere. Bright, airy, clean, and sophisticated Mexican design. Our server was perfect-stopped by to check on us at the right intervals, made great suggestions took great care of us. I had the Cilantro Margarita it was on point! Tasty and made well. My son had the family enchilada combo meal-loved that! I had the Cowboy Brisket hard tacos. Another eyes roll back in my head meal! For both meals we chose the refried beans and rice for our sides. Will definitely recommend and visit here again-next time would like to hang at the bar for a bit as their cocktails look pretty tasty!

    The service was exemplary, we were ahead of the evening crowd and was seated within seconds…read more Our server was great! The restaurant appeared very clean and well maintained. The obligatory chips and salsa were very good and we ordered the queso which was also very good. Then the main course food arrived. The only saving grace was that the rice and black beans were very tasty and not spicy. I ordered the number 3 combination. The beef hard taco was good, however the enchiladas were so spicy that I couldn't eat them. Some type of terrible green sauce made them so hot I almost gagged. Tex mex should be spiced after serving, in my opinion, not during cooking. Traditional Mexican food is not super hot. This was so spicy it burned my throat and I sent them back after powering through.

    I don't know how this place has the star rating and reviews it does, but this doesn't even deserve…read more1 star. The food is absolutely TERRIBLE. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food do NOT go here. This is honestly worse than having Taco Bell. We tried a couple things and none of it was worth the money. The carne asada, al pastor and chicken all were SO bad. The salsa wasn't good or the horchata. Don't be fooled by these reviews like we were and trust this one. Whoever's tried this and left a good review clearly has never had real Mexican food.

Don't be put off by the exterior appearance. It's a little shabby looking outside. We almost didn't go in. I am so glad we did. Inside is cutely decorated with some small flower vases on each table. The wait staff was friendly and service efficient. It was a Monday night and only one other table was full. They were doing a brisk takeout business though. My wife had the chicken enchilada from the appetizer menu. It was big enough for a meal. She said it was the best she has had. First basket of chips and salsa was included. Wife not a big fan of the salsa but I feel each restaurant has their own take on salsa. We also got an order of Guacamole. It was fresh and delicious. I finished it off myself. I got the Mojado burrito with carnitas. It was stuffed with tender, juicy pork and I could barely finish it after devouring all the guacamole. We had no room for dessert. Overall a nice casual experience with friendly service and fresh food.
