Buffet is overpriced!! Order off menu. Pasta with shrimp was the best part.

I would have given 2 stars if it was not for the Tamale and enchiladas combo. We went there for Mother’s Day and ordered sizzling fajitas combinations $29.99, which is supposed to be sizzling. It wasn’t sizzling and when I asked the waiter, he said food was hot, but it wasn’t. It was watery and became cold in few minutes. When they asked us how was the food, I told them it was cold, nothing was done. I would not go again. Also, they were not offering happy hours on Sunday due to Mother’s Day.

After having surgery it was our first Thanksgiving dinner ordering Thanksgiving dinner from a restaurant. We were pleased. The turkey in its entirety with all the sides. We were so pleased. The bird looked beautiful and tasted delicious. We recommend and will do it again. Thank you Emma for making it special.

So, this is hopefully a brief update to my past stellar reviews.
We recently ordered the family pack special, which went up a few dollars and now does that include the churos. If that wasn’t bad enough, the order of beans and spanish rice was about half of what it has been on all our past orders. Not good items to cut corners on.
I don’t want to stop ordering this great special, as it is a go-to dinner for us, but it needs to stay special.

This evening we decided to order in from a local Mexican restaurant, El Capitan, as they were promoting this special feast deal. It includes a huge delicious salad, a giant bag of tortillas chips, two tubs of a tasty & hot green and red salsas, four green enchiladas, four red enchiladas, four carnitas tacos, a boatload of Spanish rice, and very excellent traditional refried beans. All this for just $35. Incredibly yummy at a fantastic value!! They also had everything ready for pickup in less than 15 minutes. If you eat there they have a cool Mexican-style fun environment. 👍😎🌮

This is a pretty good but kind of so so Mexican restaurant. When this building was built, it was originally the restaurant owned by Green acres the store right next to it and it was pretty good. It’s too bad that they closed down.
But if you’re in this exact area, such as shopping at Greenacres and then you want some Mexican food it’s in the same parking lot so you just walk over.
For the most part, the place is cramped and the food is not as good as many of the other Mexican restaurants that I have already reviewed. I am a local guide so do take a look at all of my other reviews.
