Stopped by on our way through this town home. Clean and renovated Mexican restaurant. Good service…read more Nice traditional music. I have never seen an all you can eat Mexican linch buffet but they have one. I got the cheese quesadilla with rice and beans. It was pretty good and larger portions than traditional other Mexican restaurants but a little pricier. My cheese quesadilla alone was $7. But a chicken cheese quesadilla is also $7??? Anyway, my husband got the tacos and really liked them! I liked the salsa but a touch on the spicy side! Chips were good if you like the corn tortilla chips! Great place!

The workers are not only efficient, they're incredibly generous... like they refuse to let your chips run out (and trust me, you won't want them to--they're addicting). And the speed? Almost suspicious. Your food comes out so fast it makes you do a double take, but somehow it's still hot, fresh, and packed with flavor like it was made with care. Every bite hits.

We asked our waiter if meat/ rice was included in our pick from the menu and he acted like it was, just had to pick which one. I should have known because he looked confused at the same time.
