Absolutely amazing, I’ve ever heard of a Mexican buffet, even my Hispanic friends haven’t heard of one so we were slightly hesitant. I’m unbelievably happy we went though, food was so good I couldn’t stop eating even after I was full, arguably the best service I’ve experienced at any restaurant, wasn’t able t get any drinks but the good energy that filled the restaurant made me want to get a drink and relax a bit longer then I had time for.
