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.!!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mike Gunn · Dec 2025

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!
