    Chicken fajita
    Sandra W.

    Before you even walk in, the ambiance is already there! Once inside you are greeted by beautiful sweet ladies who are quick & efficient in getting you paid and to your table. The waitress/waiter is also quick and friendly! The unsweet tea is good. A great place to recover after exploring downtown! From the chorizo to the menudo, you'll find this buffet bar has everything to offer. Even desserts! After eating, be sure to check out the patio!

    Flautas, tamales and door. Rice and beans on the other plate. I personally didn't like the red salsa. Husband thought it was good,

    The place is recommended with a huge selection . I will say, it's recommended . The tamales and flautas were on point . Beans and rice were good too

    Absolutely gorgeous building, the ambiance is wonderful. The staff is also wonderful, they all provided kind and professional service. The food was good!

    Let me start off by saying, this is AUTHENTIC MEXICAN food. Not Tex next bull crap. Legit REAL mexican people making REAL mexican food. Everything I tried, I loved. When I tell you, a hundred meal options... I mean a literal hundred. You will never run out of options here. The service was phenomenal! (Cute uniforms as well) Very attentive and helpful. The decor is also traditional and added to the overall ambience of the meal. Definitely my favorite food in all of Dallas / Fort Worth. Also, get the olla coffee. Trust me. You won't be disappointed if you love coffee.

    First time eating here and will not be back. $56 for two adults, absolutely not worth it. 90% of the meat options were pork, I was hoping there would be more beef/chicken options. When I did find chicken, the chicken was completely dry and lacked seasoning. Super disappointing. Our waiter was friendly but had no knowledge of the drink menu when we asked what was in some of the alcoholic drinks. Menu says they have agua frescas so we asked if there was horchata and the waiter said he didn't know, so he went and checked, came back and said no. Maybe like 20 minutes later a table sits down next to us and I hear the waiter go over the agua frescas with them and tells them they have horchata. The place itself is decent, they have a huge outside area where a wedding was actually taking place. But, there are only TWO bathrooms for the entire establishment and one bathroom was down. There's also a sign telling people not to flush toilet paper, so when you walk into the bathroom, it was just super gross. $56 down the drain for a disappointing lunch.

    There's a practically endless selection of Mexican classics and unique spins on your favorites here, where you have the chance to taste and fall in love with tons of different foods. I was blown away by the amount of choices and accoutrements available for them. The food was fresh, hot, and it's a buffet, so no waiting involved! The servers could have been a bit more spiffy with clearing the many plates we quickly had on our table, but they were helpful with explaining any questions we had about the food and sides. Additionally, the availability of Mexican drink classics was an unexpected surprise. We adored the Horchata and the chance to try the other tasty flavors. The restaurant itself is a bit dated, and the floors a bit uneven, but it sorta adds to that authentic charm, you know? The focus is on the food, as it should be, and for the price you pay for it all, I don't know how you could ask for more.

    Prices as of March 1, 2025. Took one for the team.

    After seeing this place show up on TikTok and Facebook I decided it was time to see what all the hype was about. The building itself is pretty big. Enjoyed the courtyard before wandering in to pay. Property looks well maintained and it looked clean on the inside. Staff were helpful and friendly. The buffet area can be overwhelming at first until you make a few rounds and realize that it's not that massive as it looks. What I did like were the handmade corn and flour tortillas, Cafe de Olla was well made and the various other sodas and aguas (pineapple, melon, horchata, jamaica and tamarindo) you could get which were included in the price. What was a huge red flag for me was the price menu (there are no prices displayed). You don't know how much it is until you pay. Another huge downer for me and I did bring it up to the waiter we got was the fact that they charge for every breathing person who walks through the door. My son is 1 and was asleep and they still charged for him. I noticed it after I left but I don't care for those kinds of deceitful business practices. The Adult buffet is $25.85, Kids 6-10 $13.99, Kids 3-5 $7.99, and 1-2 Kids $3.99. Finally the secret is out on how much it costs. What you will find is that this is a glorified taco bar buffet. You have some options like a sopé with cheese and beans or a skinny greasy tamale and even chicken nuggets and fries but the majority of this buffet is built around pork, chicken and beef. All of them in a different sauce or grilled with a little something different. So, expect to basically eat tortillas with some type of meat. Rice and beans sucked. The dessert bar was sucky too. Would I try again? Probably not. Mostly hype but that is just my personal opinion. Paid almost $100 for 2 adults a 10 year old and a 3 and 1 year old. Price is way out of range for this buffet.

    The place is gorgeous I really enjoyed their bar the drinks were delicious and the ambiance of the place was great.

    First time here and it was such a positive experience. I was a little confused about dressed code…read morebut it really is a mix. We were over dressed but there were some really casually dressed people so I'd say just come hungry or sort of hungry. I had seen all the buzz about the fried cactus and as someone who has grown up eating all my life I was intrigued on how this would be any different. Boy was I wrong. In fact, I would be happy enough just coming and eating only this. I have some sort of food limerence where I cannot stop thinking about this. Like daily! I want it so bad. No it was a whole experience because waiter placed this bowl towering with a mountain of curly crunchy ribbons. He kindly gave us his advice on the best way to eat it. You take their fresh made blue corn tortilla, pile on the cactus, don't be shy, if it fits in your mouth just go for it, then that green sauce was heavenly. All the flavors combined made me levitate. That would've been embarrassing. You could easy fill up on this alone given enough time and privacy. I just wanted a moment alone to enjoy fully ha ha. I then ordered the Chile en Nogada and the picture alone was enough for me to go yes we're on our way immediately. However listen I am a self proclaimed gift wrapping queen. I know a good ribbon and a good bow. I know that the typical dish has a bow - yes a fabric bow but this bow was not up to the standard of this restaurant, unfinished edges, and the color satin gold was not really representative of the environment. Good thing the bow is not edible but visually it could use a little improvement. The dish itself was 4 out of 5 for me only because I have had this dish before at a more casual space and every component of the dish was full flavored, where this one feels a bit safe. For dessert I was a little unimpressed with the options. I am not a fan of tres leches so I did not order their most famous desert but instead opted for another one that was a pastry with ice cream on top. I also give it 4 out of 5 its needing more flavor and sweetness, I mean this is dessert. The five stars is more for the service. Our server was amazing. He described every dish we ordered as if we were watching a Netflix documentary of a chef competition and they just submitted their dish. The table next to us got an amuse bouche compliments of the chef and I didn't want to be too nosy and peek over so I have no idea what it was. I was really hoping we'd get one too because honestly I was still hungry after all that. Oh cocktails. We ordered a drink before our table was available and I was not playing. I remember ordering a glass of bubbly rose and when our server brought it he served me a sip and had me try it before I decided, but honestly I wanted to tell him that I couldn't feel my face just pour it.

At first glance it seemed very cool, ambience was very welcoming, like we were at a family members home. However, the issues began when it was time to order. There were so many exclusions available after lunch time that we didn't really know what we ordered. My friend and I ordered margaritas...barely a drop of alcohol in either and were melted when they arrived. The other thing is a server brought out a plate of nachos (large tortilla with melted cheese) but didn't tell us it was two separate orders. Another friend ate mine by accident. Our server spilled some of my margarita on the table then wiped her hands on our tablecloth. Absolutely unsanitary. I ordered the small enchilada plate and $22 later I was disappointed. Food was mid at best, nothing was spectacular or cause to return. The cash only rule was fine until they told us they wouldn't split the check. Keep in mind that we barely know what each of us ordered since the server suggested items not found on the menu. I just added $40 and said good day. I've had DoorDash deliver better Mexican food than this.
