" I cannot express how disappointed I am after my recent visit. I had such high expectations based on past experiences but the whole vibe has changed. The cafeteria style just doesn't feel the same. I had to wait too long for my order, and then when I finally got my food, it was cold and unappetizing. I miss the old buffet where I could choose everything myself! Yes, the flavors were good, but the experience was severely lacking. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible food! The tamales were awesome, and the staff treated me like family. I appreciate that they still ask about dietary restrictions and try to accommodate. Though I miss the buffet, this place is still a treasure. Don’t skip out on the churros—the best I’ve ever had! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mediocre experience overall. The flavors were good, but I found my steak to be a bit overcooked. I wish the service was a bit more attentive as well. The ambiance has potential but was a little too cramped during peak hours. I appreciate that I could take my leftovers home, but just not a fan of the current setup. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations and they were met! When I walked in, the smells were so inviting. The platters were well-prepared and tasted great. I got the steak burrito with extra toppings. The staff were kind, but I felt like I could have had more variety in the menu. Worth a visit if you're craving good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity of this place is top-notch! The mole was rich, and the atmosphere was friendly. I enjoyed my visit despite the cafeteria-style setup. Plus, charging by weight lets you control your portions. I felt it was reasonably priced given the amount and quality of food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent Mexican food, but really do wish they would change back to the buffet format. The food is fresh enough but the limited choices just don’t cut it for me. Service was fine, but felt like there could have been more personality displayed by the staff. I would recommend to someone looking for a quick bite but wouldn’t go out of my way for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a great experience dining here! The chicken enchiladas were packed with flavor, and the rice was the best I’ve ever had! The only downside is they don’t have as many choices as I’d prefer; however, the quality of what they have is solid. Service was friendly and the place was clean! " (*Curated Review*)
