Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Central Arkansas. Every single thing we tried on the buffet was great. My 12 and 11 year olds cleared their plates and went back for seconds which is really unlike them Can’t recommend enough!

Authentic Nexican food. It’s like going to abuela’s for a family gathering, with all the best dishes. Warning for gringos, the puerco en salsa verde is SPICY! Grab a margarita and dive in.

First time I’ve ever seen a Mexican buffet restaurant..have to say this was a very pleasant experience the food is authentic Mexican food not Tex-Mex ! Very good..yes the soups are not piping hot but fresh and hot enough .

Absolutely fabulous. I’ve been wishing for a Hispanic buffet in Little Rock, and now I have found one. The food was flavorful without (for me) being overpowering. At a new buffet, I try a little piece of everything first and then go back for more. My first time here and I only had the ability to sample a little of everything since there were so many dishes. Atmosphere is pretty generic, but I’m not here for that, I’m here for the food and wow. Can’t wait to come back.

So good we forgot to take pictures of our food! The margaritas are good and cheap during their happy hours. Food was hot and tasty. Came during dinner but feel like I would prefer the environment more during the day

I spotted this little place on the map so I had to try it cuz you hardly ever see Mexican buffets. They have rice, beans and a variety of beef and pork dishes in various types of sauces. They also have chips and queso which I used to make some steak nachos. Everything was pretty decent except for the fried chicken. It looked highly questionable but I tried a piece anyways. It was dreadful. It’s like they just dunked raw unseasoned and unbreaded chicken legs in grease and dam near cremated them. They were desert sand dry. They also had some chicharones which were ok.
The service was fine and the price was reasonable so I’ll probably revisit sometime. I’ll just be sure to avoid that chicken.

I’ll visit again, it is decent enough for what you pay. It is not TexMex, may be more authentic, not sure though, LOL! Felt more like home/country style cooking and I liked many dishes from the buffet.

The buffet area and tables were clean and service was good.

The food is absolutely FANTASTIC! And 100% authentic, definitely NOT MexiCali, or TexMex style. Not a lot of fried foods, good, wholesome, perfectly seasoned Mexican food.

Real mexican food. Haven’t had this authentic since I left California. The molè was exceptional as was most of thier offerings. Staff was accommodating and cheerful. Lots of dishes with nopales (cactus) in them which I love. Definitely going back again. Very glad I found this place.

Exceptional food and experience. The food is served in covered clay pots and so many authentic foods to choose from like cactus or queso, candied oranges and the most delicious sweet and SPICY tomatillo salsa.

Many meat entrees and several beans dishes too. The rice is very tasty as is the squash! I enjoyed making my own tostadas with chicken tinga and loading it with fresh topping from the salad bar. Cabbage, onions, cilantro, sauces and even cubed white cheese.

Very interesting foods, clean, neat and hot corn tortillas brought to the table as well.
Our plates were removed several times but drink refills were offered only once. Maybe I was just extra thirsty from the delicious salsa.

Highly recommend this dining experience!

We were enjoying our food and conversation too much and forgot to take pictures.
