Every time I come here! The food’s been amazing! I love the atmosphere. The price is amazing! And you get so much food. It’s well worth your money. The people here are so kind hearted. They take good care of you. Feel like home!
This definitely earned its 5 stars from me.

Everything is tbh horrible I came in with two others and paid 40 dollars for the buffet and theirs barely any food and it taste like it’s been sitting their for a while and the you ladies working didn’t make the atmosphere better they are on their phones sitting doing nothing they could of cooked some more food for paying customers and I don’t understand why they come in with pajamas it looks like they got a bed in the back so the get their rest for the heavy rushes they get that’s only 2 tables how hasn’t this place closed down yet very disappointing.!!

The place was filthy. Probably the most dirty restaurant I have ever been in. Junk in the corners. Dried crusty food on the tables. I could go on forever. I do not know how they have not been shut down. I will never be back or recommend this place. I feel bad leaving this review but they need a major cleaning.

Their buffet is not listed at the order counter – unless you are dining in, you wont know it’s there. A couple of very hot salsas offered! Beans, rice, beef and ground beef, tostada shells. Posole, menudo and chicharonnes in red sauce were on the line too.
Fresh hot tortillas came to the table for the meal. Cheerful staff. It’s very cluttered but seems clean. Their visibility would be increased, and eatery more appealing if the front area was cleared out!
Definitely enjoyed having the chicharonnes wrapped in a tortilla and the hot salsas!

This is a HIDDEN GEM!! They have $1 tacos all day every day! We came In and we’re immediately greeted by a very friendly employee. We ordered our tacos and she made them so quickly and made sure everything was to our liking. There is a buffet for $12 as well but I’m not sure we could eat that much today. This is a great restaurant!

The buffet food was decent but the options are limited. For $12.99 you get about 3 fresh made tortillas (a person) delivered to your table, a fountain drink and access to the buffet. Buffet included rice, beans, Soap de Fiedo, Pozole Verde Soup (or something similar), a pork and green pepper dish, meatballs with rice inside, and two other things I didn’t have. There was no fresh veggies or any staples like Enchiladas, Tamales, etc. Lots of sauces from 1-5 heat level. Overall it wasn’t much to choose from, and it seems they only make one batch of everything and that’s all there is until it runs out (they ran out of rice when we went around 1230). Dessert is just packaged cookies. Nice Hispanic atmosphere, great staff, just didn’t feel like we got our money’s worth from this buffet.

The NICEST people (I think family) run this place. It is AUTHENTIC Mexican food. There is a buffet, but you just order homemade tamales and street tacos separate so you can have them fresh. And OMG they are DELICIOUS. I love supporting businesses like this, because it’s local, authentic, and amazing food. We were spoiled the entire time we were there. It’s not fancy at all, but you are treated like family the second you walk in the door. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE. If you don’t want the buffet, you can get $1 or $2 street tacos (or other things too I’m sure). I can’t wait to go again. Mexican food is my FAVORITE.

I read the mixed reviews, decided to try anyway.

4:45 p.m. on a Friday

The buffet line, yes it is limited.
Included in the buffet is a drink and made to order street tacos, all you have to do is ask. Crispy tortillas available on the line, soft tortillas they will prepare for you.

The food, authentic, this is not Americanized fare. If your looking for taco bell or chipotle, you will not find it here.
During my visit, the place was quiet, ambiance music but, no other customers. Some of the dishes in the buffet showed signs of not having been disturbed, light to medium layer of dried out sauce in some of the dishes.

Do not wait for someone to come check on you, ask if you would like a refill on a a drink or more tacos. The staff was friendly, they even asked if I would like to check out the buffet before I decided if I wanted to partake. Do not hesitate to let them know if you would like something, they seem like great people ready to help, when asked.

The salsa bar (empty in other reviews) was stocked.

Overall at $13, I have no real complaints. Obviously at the price point there will not be piles of asada to fill your plate with.

I will not be back as I have a preference for a bit more Americanized Mexican food. I like my cheese and sour cream.

If someone wanted an authentic experience, I would send them here.
