The service is great. The salad spread is great and the dessert is not bad either. The meats,…read moresome.of them are good, some are bad (burnt or tasteless) but most are good, so it's still a pretty good experience overall.

No no its not a go!!! warm welcoming but It wasn't enough…read morefor me. We went to eat some protein! We kept having to flag down a waiter or one of the people handling the meat carvings. The selection of meat was very basic. I def should have checked on that before considering going. We kept getting offered sausage, tripe and burnt chicken. All those meats were over cooked for my liking. We also got picana and asked for filet mignon asked for medium, came out ok but burnt edges. It made it hard to eat. The carving portions were small kinda annoying to have to constantly wait or flag down a server for more. The meat was bland not even a little salt and pepper. Just not it. The buffet part was def not up to parr either. The salads look unappetizing, old. Same goes with all or most of the dishes that were offered. Ceviche, pastas, meat dishes. The kid friendly options were ok but even my kids didn't approve the pasta. We also had sangria which was ok, tasted more like a sour sparkling water. We didn't get a drink menu so we just kinda asked what they offer and opted for sangria. They have a kids room with an attendant which was pretty cool. It's the only reason my kids want to go back. The ambiance is decent. Not too loud, TVs around gave it a bar feel a bit. I wasn't expecting that. I believe the place is priced a little more on the higher side for what they offer. It didn't meet my expectations in food or service. I think it would be helpful to keep a better eye on buffet food. Wilted salads are not a good look. Provide more communication on what is offered for protein in this case. I don't go to Tijuana too often but when I do, I try a new restaurant. Stay tune for the next one.

Definitely one of the better Chinese buffets I've been too. It seems like all the buffets have gone…read moredown hill or close since covid. But this place was delicious and definitely worth the $17.70 lunch buffets price. Huge selection of all your traditional Chinese food, American, and sushi!!! They also have mongolian grill and free soda. They have a huge salad bar and a desert bar as well. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Staff was very friendly and picked up our plates pretty fast. Only downside was the ice cream machine was broken. I love that they used thick noodles for their chow mein. I went back for a second portion. Your typical chinese buffet ambiance. Large dinner area with plenty of sitting.

Not impressed. It may be other buffets up north that I've been to that have more and fresher…read moreofferings. I went at 11:30AM shortly after opening, and the sushi was already dry and stale. Orange chicken was kind of runny, and there wasn't much beef in the beef and broccoli. The salmon was super dry. I probably go to one of these spots once a year or so, and I'm good for the rest of the year. I may be spoiled since my last experience was at casino buffet. I won't be coming back to this place though. The lady who took my payments was super nice, and the staff is really quick at clearing your table of finished dishes, and they're super nice so there's that. The place is clean and the place was packed, but this is the only buffet I could find in the area, and Golden Corral's ratings were an immediate pass. Good luck if you try this place.

Loved the buffet. They had about 9 different stations of food. All delicious Traditional Mexican…read morefood. I had scrambled eggs, potatoes and chorizo, chicharrón in chile verde, beef in chile negro, frijoles charros, rice, chicken tamales, pancakes. They had fruits and desserts. I paid $30 for two. But felt was very well worth it. Also had " cafe de La Holla " very delicious while raining. It really hit the spot. Very friendly service. Interesting setting, they have different birds in cages including chickens, peacocks, goats as well at the entrance. We do plan to return. Would be nice if they had some soups like Cocido, Menudo or Pozole.

I drive pass this place a lot. It looked interesting so I wanted to try it. I checked out their…read moreFacebook page first. Looked good. Due to the quarantine, reservations are required. You can get one easily with short notice. We arrived in the early afternoon. The facility is charming & clean. We sat on the back patio. There are a lot of flies when the food is on the table. We ordered 2 T-Bone steaks (1 well done, 1 medium-rare), Quacamole, 2 beers, 1 sparkling lemonade, 1 Sprite. Approx $60 U.S. / $1200 MX Grilled woodfire cooked meat is their specialty. The Steak is not high quality or cooked properly. It is also very tough regardless how you order it. The steaks completely lacks seasoning to enhance the flavor & tenderize the meat. My partner was not happy at all with her dry, tough steak. We asked to change the order to a Filet Mignon. The waiter checked to see if the restaurant would accommodate us. We were told - NO. So we paid for 3 meals. I ordered my steak medium-rare, it was medium / medium-well, not pink, not cooked evenly or properly. It was not properly seared on the outside, tough, no flavor. My partner ordered a Filet Mignon after the inedible T-Bone arrived. She asked for more seasoning on the meat. It arrived the same as the 2 T-Bones. No flavor & not properly cooked. As someone who's worked in restaurants for years & who knows how to grill steaks; I was disappointed with the food & lack of customer service to make things right. This was not the waiter's fault. I might go back to try the ribs, arranchera, or breakfast. Stay away from the thicker cuts of meat & do not expect any policy of pleasing the customer if you are unhappy with your food. I expained to the waiter that treating customers like this is not proper customer service & affects the restaurants reputation. And to please convey this to the owner,manager, & chefs regarding how to cook steak. Conduzco Pase mucho este lugar. Parecía interesante, así que quería probarlo. Primero revisé su página de Facebook. Se veía bien. Debido a la cuarentena, se requieren reservaciones. Puede obtener uno fácilmente con poca antelación. Llegamos temprano en la tarde. La ubicación es encantadora y limpia. Nos sentamos en el patio trasero. Hay muchas moscas cuando la comida está sobre la mesa. Pedimos 2 bistecs de T-Bone (1 bien cocido, 1 medio raro), Quacamole, 2 cervezas, 1 limonada espumosa, 1 Sprite. Aproximadamente $ 60 U.S. / $ 1200 MX. La carne cocinada a la leña es su especialidad. El bistec no es de alta calidad ni está preparado adecuadamente. También es muy dura, seca, y independientemente de cómo lo pidas. Los bistecs carecen por completo de condimentos para mejorar el sabor y ablandar la carne. Mi pareja no estaba contento con su bistec seco y duro. Pedimos cambiar el orden a un Filet Mignon. El mesero revisó para ver si el restaurante nos acomodaría. Nos dijeron que NO. Así que pagamos por 3 comidas. Pedí mi T-Bone medio raro, era mediano / medio bien, no rosado, no cocinado de manera uniforme o adecuada. No estaba bien chamuscado en el exterior, duro, sin sabor. Mi pareja ordenó un Filet Mignon después de que llegara el T-Bone no comestible. Ella pidió más condimento en la carne. Llegó igual que los 2 T-Bones. Sin sabor y no se cocina adecuadamente. Como alguien que ha trabajado en restaurantes durante años y que sabe asar filetes; Me decepcionó la comida y la falta de servicio al cliente para hacer las cosas bien. Esto no fue culpa del mesero. Podría volver a probar las costillas, la arranchera, o el desayuno. Manténgase alejado de los cortes de carne más gruesos y no espere ninguna política de complacer al cliente si no está satisfecho con su comida. Le dije al camarero que tratar a los clientes así no es un servicio al cliente adecuado y afecta la reputación de los restaurantes. Y para transmitir esto al propietario, gerente y chefs con respecto a cómo cocinar bistec.

Surprisingly short wait for a Sunday around lunch time, I thought more people would have been here…read moredining in, but maybe with the start of football season everyone was out and about trying to find the game. There is so much space for seating no matter the party size. We had 5 in our group and more than enough space. Tables were bused regularly nothing sat on the table for too long. The food quality was pretty good considering the volume a buffet cooks in. We didn't have a bad bite anywhere and there were plenty of land, air and sea options for all dietary needs. Price was higher for weekend service but it was worth stopping in after a morning of moving furniture around,

We thought that coming for lunch on Saturday right when it opened at 12 PM was the good call, but…read moreit was not quite on the mark. Roast duck was overcooked with a bad acrid smell, and it didn't have that oily crispy layer that you normally would get when it is fresh. All the dim sum looked like it was sitting in the steamers for a while, crab legs were overcooked so it came apart mushy instead of flaky. What happened? I'm guessing that they made all the food early in preparation for opening, but all of food tasted like it sat out for hours. The things that turned out fine, were the oysters, sushi and sashimi, and the prime rib that turned out to be rare.
