I have been to this place twice and 👏🏾ABSOLUTELY 👏🏾 LOVE IT 👏🏾. The staff are always happy and attentive as well as very friendly about answering questions. The food is amazingly tasty for each dish with the vast variety that the have. One thing that I really appreciate about this place is the fact that all of the food has lids covering them that you yourself open and close, keeping everything fresh. They bring you tortillas fresh and hot from the back on request.

This place is great! We came right at lunchtime on a Thursday. Even though it wasn't very busy, the food was hot and delicious on the buffet. The staff was attentive and was quick to bring out more tortillas when we asked. Everything we had was delicious from the flautas to the margaritas. It's definitely one of my favorite buffet spots in town.
