Came here with my church group. They were slammed. Ordered from the menu. Food arrived in a reasonable time but if you're in a hurry I would recommend the buffet especially right after church.

The chips were so good! Hot, crispy, yum! I was in danger of eating too many!

Salsa was made for those who can’t stand the heat, it was average-ish; but everything else was so very delicious.

This place was hopping! Everyone in the state was here!

We did not have the buffet, but there was a line flowing the entire time. They kept the buffet full as well.

I had the #1 combo because I love enchiladas. It came with a taco. I was disappointed that it was a premade shell; BUT IT WAS AO GOOD!!! The meat was seasoned to make that ground beef taste exceptional!!! My enchiladas were great too! My husband had his usual Ta o salad and enjoyed it.

Overall this restaurant team works well together making delicious food, feeding hungry people! If I lived here (just traveling through) I’d advocate for coming here at least once a week!

Delicioso! Gracias amigos!

The blandest food that ever blanded.

Seriously for the type of place this presenting as, I wasn’t expecting white people taco night.

The salsa tasted like it came directly out of a pace picante jar. Fajitas came out cold. Like cold cold. No sizzle, nothing.

There was no salt in the food.

Service was fine, it was busy but they all kept up well enough.

Would not recommend to impress friends. If you have the taste buds of a muppet, this is your place.

I went with my boyfriend, and I had a fantastic time. The buffet is an amazing value and super tasty, you cannot go wrong with it! I actually drive 20 minutes across county to get there instead of the many places nearby where I live, it's that worth it. Incredible food, really friendly service, and a great price. I love eating there!

Waitress was very rude it may have been because it was an hour before closing and she didn't want us there. When she took our drink order we both got sweet tea and it was not very good maybe it had sat out too long not sure so we ask if we could change them both to coke. She took her tea glasses away but never returned with our cokes In the meantime, my friend was choking on a chip and couldn't get her throat cleared and I had to go out to my car and get her a bottle of water because we couldn't get any service. Only after my run to the car did we get acknowledgement. So we got the drinks in our food basically at the same time. The buffet was closed so we ordered off the menu. The food was actually very good and very well priced. I will definitely be back just to see if somebody was just having a bad day or not because I know that can happen.

The chips were stale. Service was slow. The menu prices are not all correct. I ordered the 2 taco with beans and rice. The taco shell was stale and tasted rancid. My hubby had the buffet and he said that he noticed the new food was mixed in with the old. The steak fajita was chewy. The only thing that I liked was the Coke. I do not know how this place was rated so high.

Stopped in with 3 relatives for lunch. We were welcomed warmly, and the service was excellent. The food on the buffet was filling and there was a good assortment. The chips were good but the salsa tasted canned. Not bad but not special. The buffet was not spicy which suited my relatives. I like mine with a little more flavor intensity, but there was plenty and it was filling so no complaints. I would definitely eat here again.

Oh what a wonderful place to go and eat and sit with family to enjoy family quality time.

It's a buffet place, and the food quality seriously reflects that. The food, even if ordered off the menu instead of at the buffet, is of buffet quality, which is to say cheap and poor. The service is quite helpful and kind, and the lady behind the buffet bar was incredibly helpful when I forgot what the word for sopapillas was. The cheese dip was pretty good, but ultimately not nearly worth the price they charged.

Meh. Poor service. Mediocre food. A friend had to ask 3 times for a simple plate of nachos while everyone else had finished their lunch buffet. I ordered a taco beans and rice plate. It was $6.50 on the menu, but they charged $7.50. The "$10.00" buffet was actually $12.00. People who had the buffet felt like the staff serving them didn't want them to be there. Pretty miserable. Won't be back.
