Shrimp cocktail and shrimp tacos
Grace M.

Pleasant surprise! Food was delicious and came quickly. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean.

This little gem in Palmdale was great. The ambience was great for family meals. The michelada was savory, salty and the right amount of spice. The ceviche verde was delicious like the shrimp was 6 from the ocean just before prepared. The flan was rich and creamy. The service was very attentive and gave great suggestions.

Menu Pg.4

We had the pleasure of returning to try their Menudo. The broth was clean, what I mean is that it was not greasy and the menudo did not have that terrible aftertaste that some other places have trouble removing. Their menudo includes hominy and I was able to distinguish the ingredients used in this hearty broth. The meal came with what I like to call "the works" (oregano, diced onion, cilantro, and roasted chile de arbol) and tortillas. At first sight, the bowl didn't appear to be big, but while eating, it felt like I wasn't even putting a dent in it. It felt like the bowl that keeps on giving and it took awhile to get to the bottom of it. The best way I can describe it is comfort and satisfaction in a bowl.

Came here for first time and the place did not disappoint. All of our food was great. Service was fast and attentive. The place has a cool vibe to it. Will definitely come back to try out the rest of their dishes.

Camarones A la diabla

Wow this amazes me that they charge $20.00 for this ala diabla plate of food. Only 6 shrimps it's a rip off. Beside the food being cold and getting my order wrong I won't be coming here again.

3.5 I had the camarones a la diabla, didn't like them, the tomato flavor is overpowering and only had 6 shrimps in it. Also tried the aguachiles, those were better, came with 8 shrimps. The fajitas were decent, but they only bring you 2 tortillas, 3 shrimps. The cocktails were good, the small one came with 6 shrimps and large with 7 shrimps. I also tried the salmon, wasn't very flavorful, just tasted like fish, needed seasoning. Some of the plates needed salt so we added salt to the aguachile and cocktails, but it's better then it being salty. The fajitas were a bit salty. The flan was way to sweet, it was creamy but way to sweet. Hibiscus water was good. The drinks were ok, michelada and mango margarita. Current Menu prices on pictures below. The place is decent, good vibes. The restrooms were smelly and place needs a remodel or better cleaning, since theres food stains on the walls and so. Wait time on a Sunday was about 70-80minutes for group of 8. 2 groups were sat after us and they were served before us.

Was passing through and wanted a burrito and was about to go to Carl's Jr when I spotted this place. As soon as I walked in I immediately loved the smell and the look! I hate to use the word "authentic" so I'll just say this place is real! So, first impression was good. Next I found out they use chicken breast in the burritos...another great thing to know! I only eat chicken breast so this made me super happy! Then I got my food and I loved it! I'm a simple dude so I don't like wet burritos, so a basic burrito as big as my face is what I like. Great place!

Margarita on the rocks, DELICIOUUUS!

We ordered a regular and a tamarindo margaritas. They were a jumbo size and very refreshing. The meat molcajete was very delicious. The meat, chicken and shrimp were very tender and fresh. It also came with nopales, cebollinos, queso fresco, guac and beans - tortillas. The place was nice and clean, looks more like sports bar with plenty TVs but it was not loud. The server was very pleasant and courteous.

Menudo with all the toppings they provided. 10/10 recommend.

Ordered the menudo. I'm mostly picky about ordering menudo at restaurants but this place didn't disappoint. The menudo was clean. No weird taste. They added all the necessary toppings and I had a pick up order. I liked that they add a side of chips and salsa. The order came with your choice of flower or corn tortillas. Toppings of limes, salt, oregano, Chile de Arbol and onion/cilantro. All for $16. I've had other items on their menu and I can trust this place with providing great service and food quality.

Butcher paper are placed on our tables with menus following. We ordered Boba, strawberry smoothies (our smoothies weren't quite sweet enough, and something was missing to make them the best they could be), and Sprite (in a bottle). We also ordered two lobster tails, which came with two corn and two potato sides and Combo Grilled Platters. The lobster tails were generous, packed with meat and flavor. Rolling Crab offers a variety of flavors: Rolling Crab Classic, Louisiana Cajun, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic Butter. Bibs and gloves are available, and you can choose the lobster tails mild, medium, or super spicy, or go for the original. They come in buckets. The Combo Grilled Platters were generous portions, though we wished for more shrimp. The flavor was excellent, though. The restaurant was clean and cozy, with a small space that could easily accommodate a large group. We didn't feel rushed at all, even though it wasn't packed. We noticed a lot of takeout orders, but overall, the service was great, and the food was delicious. We're definitely planning to return!

More concerning, however, was a serious issue regarding safety and how my family--particularly my child--was treated by staff. During our visit, my toddler was standing next to her high chair when employees were running through the restaurant. One employee fell and immediately blamed my child for the incident. I was present and witnessed the situation clearly. My child was approximately four feet away and was not involved in any way. The employee tripped on her own, yet responsibility was placed on my child. If the placement of a high chair in that area posed a concern, it should not have been offered or placed there to begin with. At no point did any staff member, including the manager, ask if my child was okay (especially since they thought she was tripped over) Instead, blame was directed towards my toddler, which made me feel unwelcome and judged for simply dining with a baby. Also if she really was tripped over- they did not care about her at all. This shows: THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR GUESTS. A server came up to us and expressed how she was the blame despite not seeing what had happened. These employees are running up and down. That is why she tripped. This is my my toddler (thankfully) was not harmed. I hope the waitress is okay though, clearly this company does not care about safety much- as she kept working after. We spent over $150 during this visit, and the overall experience left me feeling that this establishment is not family-friendly. This is particularly disappointing, as families should feel safe and respected while dining. Due to this experience, we will not be returning, and I will be sharing this feedback with all friends and family. I hope this matter is taken seriously and addressed appropriately to prevent similar situations in the future. Maybe a training on where to put high chairs, how not to run in an establishment, and how to speak with respect towards others would be a good start.

I honestly wanted to leave, but my kids wanted to stay. I had them look at the claw machines until we were ready to be taken to our seats. Some of the staff continued to openly argue in the dining area during the remainder of our time there. We arrived around noon, and the food selection was okay. Some items were sitting in the pans for so long that they became soggy or chewy. The tempura shrimp tasted really good when it first came out, but when I went to get some for my dad they were very hard to eat. I wish the selection was a little broader, as it is mainly seafood. None of the items were labeled. The younger lady that was making rounds to clear plates from tables was pleasant and really the only positive part of our first time experience here.. I would like to give this place a try again to hopefully have a better experience.

So why the mixed reviews? Let me break it down for you, as I've been there for both lunch and…read moredinner. SERVICE: The main lady, who I'm assuming is the manager, has an unusual seating arrangement system. When you get there and pay, the cashier will tell you it's a 10-minute wait. Meanwhile, no one else is in the lobby waiting, and the interior of the restaurant isn't busy. The main lady is the one who seats you. The service staff is nice, but they are not "on top of it." The servers don't ask if you want drink refills. You have to tell them. They are literally there to pick up your plates and bring you drinks. Also, the poor things don't even have trays to carry the drinks. They always look miserable, like they're working a 16-hour shift but are only halfway through the lunch rush. None of them are mean; they just always look so exhausted. Additionally, the main lady doesn't speak kindly to the wait staff. She constantly seems angry at them. FOOD: They do offer a lot of variety of sushi, sashimi, korean bbq, hot foods such as a full ham, a full beef, fried fish, seafood boils, beef and broccoli, and their infamous coconut shrimp. All very tasty dishes. The hot food is hot and the cold food is cold, but they have a lot of violations reference: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/eh/i-want-to/view-inspection-results.htm scroll to "Inspection Results", then type in "Luck Buffet" to review their food handling and temperatures. Again the food is good and tasty, but it comes with a price. The sushi is not sitting on refrigeration or ice, so any of the raw fish does not hold a temperature of 41 degrees or less. The same goes for the salad bar area, where at night they have raw oysters and cooked shrimp. The oysters had ice all around them, but according to the health inspection, their refrigeration unit is not up to standard and is not elevated off the floor. Their raw fish is also not stored properly while waiting to be made into sushi. It's just "under the counter." Similar violations were noted for their raw chicken and various other products containing cooked fish. All of this is to say that it doesn't matter how they present it; it's not at the right temperatures by the time it reaches your plate. OVERALL: I had a great time on Valentine's Day with my husband. I had been wanting to try this place for dinner for quite some time, and we didn't want a fussy, overpriced Valentine's dinner. This place seemed like a great option. I had eaten there a month prior for lunch for the first time, and it was nice, but I didn't have any of the additional items they served for dinner. This time, they had all the options available, and it seemed nice; however, within 24 hours, I became violently ill from food poisoning, and my husband just wasn't feeling great either. I suffered for four days with fevers, rashes, and everything expelling from my body. When I looked up their infractions, it suddenly made sense. The choice, and the risk, is ultimately yours!
