Mexican Buffet We came for Saturday dinner and there was no wait time. When you first enter the building, there is a small lobby with a "Wait to Be Seated" sign. However, the host is also working as the side cook, so make sure you walk past the lobby far enough for them to see that you are there waiting to be seated. A guy quickly came over, walked us to our table, and explained how the buffet works. You order your drinks first, and then you can go to the food line. Some items, such as chile rellenos, chimichangas, and the hot dogs, take less than five minutes to prepare, and they will bring them to your table. Other dishes, like mole, pipián, and several other options, are available right away. They serve the food for you, and you can go back as many times as you want. You can also ask for rice and beans. I got the pipián, and I really liked it. I only asked for rice and no beans, but I ended up getting beans as well. On my second plate, I got flautas and asked for a side of rice, but it never came, so I had to go ask again. For my third plate, I got carnitas, but they didn't come with anything, so I had to ask for tortillas, onion, cilantro, and salsa. The waitresses were nice, but they may be new because they seemed to be having some trouble organizing the orders and getting everything out correctly. One suggestion I would make is for the mole. If I were them, I would serve the meat off the bone. That way, they could give smaller portions with each serving and reduce waste. In my case, eating a whole chicken leg is too much, especially at a buffet. If someone wants more meat, they can always ask for another serving. Overall, I liked all the food I tried. For the mole, though, I wish they would add a pinch of sesame seeds. I think that would make it taste more authentic and add a little more flavor. I would also suggest adding Mexican drinks like Topo Chico or Jarritos unflavored sparkling water or club soda. I think those would be a great addition to the buffet. read more

Wanna know a secret? This spot has the BEST fish tacos I've tasted in ever. And I've eaten tacos on the beach. There's something about this tacos. They are fresh, fried to perfection. Drizzled to the pro level, and crunchy for the road...yes siree! One bite, and you say....another order please!. And that's it. I'm telling you. This is the kind of flavor that should go viral. Can someone go...verify & support me on this? read more

Food was okay felt rushed honestly and me and my family ordered two of their custom Agua Fresca was super watered down and tasted bad when I asked them to remove them from my bill was still charged when I had noticed after I already paid one of the ladies had told me since she brought it to the table that it was still being charged even though it wasn't touched super disappointed read more

great service, really good food and very nice people totally recommend it 100% The atmosphere is so nice and the prices are good too read more

If heaven had a Mexican buffet, I pray it's similar to The Chill spot. The flavors and ambience are unrivaled. Phoenix finally has an authentic Mexican buffet!! read more

You get what you pay for. It's a $20 all-you-can-eat buffet, but the space felt dark and lifeless, and the service wasn't very welcoming. They ask what you want to drink but don't mention that it's an extra $3 and not included with the buffet. I ordered a horchata, and it tasted like powdered mix--definitely not fresh and honestly pretty awful. If you're going to charge extra for a drink, at least make it fresh and worth it. The food itself was mediocre, and some of it was pretty dry. For around $26 total for food and a drink, I'd rather go to a legit taqueria or taco truck and get better flavor, better quality, and more for my money. Next time, I'll pass. read more

The food was amazing the flavor where authentic if you want to try real Mexican food try this place

This place was so delicious. It is run a bit different than a normal buffet you do go to towards the kitchen in order to place your order and they do bring it to you. But it's unlimited. They have soups and all kinds of different Mexican food and different specials each day. I'm so stuffed and I felt everything tasted delicious. I saw a review someone mentioned that the food is microwaved or they microwave personally I didn't see a microwave, but I also wasn't looking and it tasted good did not taste microwave to me. The carne asada tasted delicious. Honestly I think this place is amazing and can definitely come back again. Staff was super nice and reviewed how to order we came on Friday and they do close at 7 on weekday. read more

I remember driving by the old metro center and seeing this place and thinking man this place sounds great. I just never had the chance to stop by. I found myself starving, exhausted from a day at the Mayo Clinic and ready to eat. The lightbulb in my head came on and I remembered this place. I drove on by and I was so happy to see it was still there. Walking in I was immediately seated. The staff gave me a rundown on how it goes. The selection was pretty stellar. I started with the rolled tacos and the enchiladas. Along with it I got this creamy green chili chicken. I took the first bite it was love at first bite. The rolled tacos were my favorite. Those bad boys fully loaded with awesomeness just blew me away. I loaded up on those bad boys to finish up the tank. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I really enjoyed the food. The price was pretty reasonable. Considering it's an all you can eat Mexican buffet it was worth every penny! I'll gladly return the next time I'm in the area. It was so freaking good! read more

Honestly they need a better system we got here at 11:10 and they open at 11 just to get turned out at the door that it was an hour wait with tables still available read more

Food here reminds me of being home with my abuelita. I'm from Durango Mexico and food is great. Service on the other hand needs a lot of work !! read more

First ever Mexican food buffet, and it was an amazing experience!! The food was phenomenal, the beans and rice, the shrimp tacos, the flautas, the green chicken enchiladas, the guacamole, and the churros. We were very happy with almost everything we ordered. I also love that it is smaller portions because we were able to try lots of different things, but we were also able to get a lot at once if we wanted to. The service was excellent. They were so friendly and helpful and the environment was wonderful for children. After My kids finished, they were able to play comfortably (on the couch with dominos) and we were able to finish our meal peacefully. Definitely would recommend. Only thing I would add would be to have the Wi-Fi code available for guests. read more

Okay, yes you do "order" as you go but it's worth it if you want authentic grandma kitchen Mexican food! The server explains to you that the ordering system is like "chipotle/Panda Express" where you walk up to the hot well station and ask for what you want on your plate. For items that are on the hot well station you will get your plate right away. For some items in the back, you'll be asked to take a seat and it will be brought out to you. Kid you not, the dishes were better than some of my grandmas food. I went on taco Thursday and they did not skimp on the taco meat! The tripa tacos were better than some I've had at taco boys! Definitely worth trying! My husband and I will be back on Seafood Saturday to try the aguachiles and shrimp à la diabla! read more

Quality was not there, and over priced Way better Mexican restaurants in Phoenix Did not enjoys eating on styrofoam plates and bowl, plastic cups, and plastic utensils. Waitress was very nice and attentive Meal for two was $65, not including tip read more

I'm not sure why this place has any bad reviews. Just ignore those. Unless you hate good flavor and friendly service. I guess just go to a drive through or something and spare these wonderful people of your company. Hands down the best Mexican food I've had since moving to AZ. read more

The chill spot LLC 10215 N 28th Dr suite a, Phoenix, AZ 85051 Mexican Buffet I had the wonderful opportunity to experience a Mexican Buffet for the first time, so after my listing appointment, I eagerly decided to stop by! I observed that the setup could use a bit more organization, and the hardworking servers here could use some extra recognition for their efforts. While I typically don't tip 20% at buffets, I felt that the attentive ladies serving me truly deserved it. The Chicken Mole I tried was an absolute delight - the sauce was incredibly flavorful! On Sundays, they offer a bonus meal of soups, so I opted for the Menudo, which was a tasty choice. I'm already looking forward to returning on Wednesdays for the bonus meal that includes everything except shrimp. For shrimp lovers , Saturday is the day to visit! It's worth noting that refills are not complimentary, but the overall dining experience was quite enjoyable. Although I believe I received good value for the $20 fee considering how much I ate, I may not go out of my way to visit again. The food was decent overall, but the Chicken Mole was the standout dish that truly impressed me. I would be back, just not go out of my way to The servers were all very nice Over $8 in drinks because NO FREE REFILL read more

..... unbelievable......I could not believe the food..... it's that good.....and a buffet....$20.... please be respectful.....keep it quiet.....but come here tho....but keep quiet .......Service is weird...but well worth it read more

Nope just nope. Went for friends retirement. Nothing looked appealing. Service slow, atmosphere super casual.

Well. I have to say the waitress was soooo sweet. She tried to take care of everyone. The $20 charge for All-you-can-eat was not worth it. It's a strange area and somewhat run down shopping mall. Then you leave and you come to some chain restaurants like Chili's, Red Lobster, and other well known restaurants. The food actually didn't taste bad after waiting a while but that was because the waitress was on her own. I would prefer an all-you-can-eat Panchos instead The Burria tacos were burnt and hardly had any meat in them. I won't be back. I was in that side of town so I thought I'd give it a try. Just make it a restaurant and get rid of the side pool table and foosball. That's a waste of time. Concentrate on making great food with an easier to understand set-up. It's really confusing. read more

The food is super good the service is amazing and this spot is super good super chill and the costumer service is amazing

Its all you can eat cafeteria style dining, they have a daily special meal and then the everyday menu. They keep the food behind so its not being touched by hundreds of of hands. While they do bring you the plate to your table when its done you can keep ordering as much as you want. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they explained how the service works at the beginning and have delicious agua frescas read more

Food is very good, staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Unique Mexican food buffet, nice, been there twice

0 Stars There are 0 mexican buffets in az. When we ran into this place we decided to try. Its not a 100% buffet if they need to bring the food to you. That is not the worst part of it. Worst part is that they have to microwave your food. The microwave is visible. If you know your kitchen and u know how to cook you know when the food is fresh. The food is discusting. If you want microwaved food for $20 plus $$ for drinks and refills this is your place! Hands down worst place ever!! read more

My wife and I saw a sign spinner on 28th and Peoria advertising a mexican buffet so we had to find it. Inside there were foosball tables and a dj booth. The dj played music videos and offered karaoke. We were promptly greeted by a bubbly young woman who proceeded to explain the concept. The buffet is $20 and is served cafeteria style with a special of the day being cooked to order. We went on a Sunday and Shrimp Diablo was the special. The shrimp were large. Other offerings included cochinita pibil, birria, Chile renos, chicken mole and pazole. The plates came with rice and beans. They also make churros for desert. The drinks are not included in the price. They had canned sodas, bottled Mexican coke and water, and agua Frescas. The service was excellent. The young woman was very kind in helping explain everything. Overall the food was great and worth $20. read more

This place is all you can eat and the food is delicious, concept is you go to the counter order your food, then they bring to you. And the food is well worth the wait and delicious, service was impeccable, very friendly staff and helpful. I had the carne en su jugo, and the flavor was absolutely savory, the char on the steak plays well with the light spice. Also I had the sandia agua fresca (all you can drink) which served well with the hot summer day. Would highly recommend read more

Absolutely fire!!! The all you can eat tacos hit the spot, I can't believe this place wasn't jammed packed. Authentic Mexican vibes and great food for sure. read more

I came because of the advertisement of being a Mexican buffet. I came on a Sunday at 11 o'clock and to my surprise, I walked in and was the only person in the restaurant on top of that. There wasn't a single buffet table open or to the offer. I have looked and looked, and I am not finding when they actually have the buffet. I couldn't think of a better day to have the buffet going as on a Sunday brunch.. I ordered the Chilaquiles with red sauce. They weren't bad.. I like mine a little crunchy and not so soggy. But the flavor was decent.. I have no recommendations on whether or not one should come here or not come here, but it was a very eerie feeling being the only one inside the restaurant being served that is usually not a good sign. read more

The food was amazing. The service was great and the ambience was decent. They have pool tables and one other game in there.

Quede como una chinche. Food was exceptional. I'm picky about Mexican food but The Chill Spot, really did hit the spot. Friendly staff, excellent cooks and the coconut horchata...yummers. I see people complaining about it not being a buffet because they can't go and put their snot all over the food. UMMM that's a good thing. Plus the food is made to order, hello why would you want food sitting in a warming tray all day when it can be fresh. I so recommend this spot. It was empty when I got there and packed by the time I left. That says that this place has loyal customers. For $20.....hellz yessss! read more

The food was exceptional, and the service was outstanding as well! Also, the birthday special was the best I've seen!

We were going to culvers to have s burger by metrocenter but they closed and we saw the chili spot buffet. Thought we would try it. Let me tell you it was well worth it. Everything served on Styrofoam plates. We tried a little of as much as we could. Posole very tasty, refried beans were fresh and the rice was moist and delicious not like all others are usually dry. Had pork in from the oven kinda sweet tasting but very good with what taste like fresh made corn tortillas. I had the quesabirria tacos and they were huge and full of flavor. Had a tamale with pablanos and cheese very good. Chili relleno was very good as well maybe a tad more seasoning on the crust. Various salsas for your tacos. I suggest Wednesdays as you can order anything from everyday specials except the seafood. I highly recommend you try at least once if not more. read more

Heard of this place through some friends so we decided to give it a try! The waitress (lady with long orange hair)was really polite and attentive she explained everything well! The food was really good and they made everything fresh! The atmosphere was nice and clean. The only issue was that idk if we went on a day the ac was broken because it was really warm inside and I couldn't really enjoy my food while sweating. Other than that we would definitely try again hopefully the ac is fixed . read more

I am so excited that we finally have a new restaurant in the neighborhood, and I couldn't wait to try it. I had never been to a Mexican buffet, so I didn't know what to expect. Let me tell you, I was so not disappointed. The food is delicious. The shrimp cocktail is tasty. The Camarones Al Diablo is spicy but edible and delicious. I didn't care for the albodigas but the corn in the soup was good. For $20, you seriously can't beat that. read more

Definitely worth the time and money. Service was amazing! The waitress was very nice and quick with my orders. The food was great. When ordering something aside from the food bar, be patient. The food does take a little while to come out, but the wait is worth it. I tried just about everything on the menu and by far the birria tacos are the best! Packed with flavor and succulent juices. At the end of my visit they even offered me strawberry with cream, which wasn't even on the menu. Talk about customer satisfaction. read more
