This place was so delicious. It is run a bit different than a normal buffet you do go to towards the kitchen in order to place your order and they do bring it to you. But it's unlimited. They have soups and all kinds of different Mexican food and different specials each day. I'm so stuffed and I felt everything tasted delicious. I saw a review someone mentioned that the food is microwaved or they microwave personally I didn't see a microwave, but I also wasn't looking and it tasted good did not taste microwave to me. The carne asada tasted delicious. Honestly I think this place is amazing and can definitely come back again. Staff was super nice and reviewed how to order we came on Friday and they do close at 7 on weekday.

Green Chili Enchiladas with rice and beans

I remember driving by the old metro center and seeing this place and thinking man this place sounds great. I just never had the chance to stop by. I found myself starving, exhausted from a day at the Mayo Clinic and ready to eat. The lightbulb in my head came on and I remembered this place. I drove on by and I was so happy to see it was still there. Walking in I was immediately seated. The staff gave me a rundown on how it goes. The selection was pretty stellar. I started with the rolled tacos and the enchiladas. Along with it I got this creamy green chili chicken. I took the first bite it was love at first bite. The rolled tacos were my favorite. Those bad boys fully loaded with awesomeness just blew me away. I loaded up on those bad boys to finish up the tank. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I really enjoyed the food. The price was pretty reasonable. Considering it's an all you can eat Mexican buffet it was worth every penny! I'll gladly return the next time I'm in the area. It was so freaking good!

The chill spot LLC 10215 N 28th Dr suite a, Phoenix, AZ 85051 Mexican Buffet I had the wonderful opportunity to experience a Mexican Buffet for the first time, so after my listing appointment, I eagerly decided to stop by! I observed that the setup could use a bit more organization, and the hardworking servers here could use some extra recognition for their efforts. While I typically don't tip 20% at buffets, I felt that the attentive ladies serving me truly deserved it. The Chicken Mole I tried was an absolute delight - the sauce was incredibly flavorful! On Sundays, they offer a bonus meal of soups, so I opted for the Menudo, which was a tasty choice. I'm already looking forward to returning on Wednesdays for the bonus meal that includes everything except shrimp. For shrimp lovers , Saturday is the day to visit! It's worth noting that refills are not complimentary, but the overall dining experience was quite enjoyable. Although I believe I received good value for the $20 fee considering how much I ate, I may not go out of my way to visit again. The food was decent overall, but the Chicken Mole was the standout dish that truly impressed me. I would be back, just not go out of my way to The servers were all very nice Over $8 in drinks because NO FREE REFILL

Cochinita pibil and rice

My wife and I saw a sign spinner on 28th and Peoria advertising a mexican buffet so we had to find it. Inside there were foosball tables and a dj booth. The dj played music videos and offered karaoke. We were promptly greeted by a bubbly young woman who proceeded to explain the concept. The buffet is $20 and is served cafeteria style with a special of the day being cooked to order. We went on a Sunday and Shrimp Diablo was the special. The shrimp were large. Other offerings included cochinita pibil, birria, Chile renos, chicken mole and pazole. The plates came with rice and beans. They also make churros for desert. The drinks are not included in the price. They had canned sodas, bottled Mexican coke and water, and agua Frescas. The service was excellent. The young woman was very kind in helping explain everything. Overall the food was great and worth $20.

The buffet tables with nothing in them

I came because of the advertisement of being a Mexican buffet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came on a Sunday at 11 o'clock and to my surprise, I walked in and was the only person in the restaurant on top of that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There wasn't a single buffet table open or to the offer. I have looked and looked, and I am not finding when they actually have the buffet. I couldn't think of a better day to have the buffet going as on a Sunday brunch.. I ordered the Chilaquiles with red sauce. They weren't bad.. I like mine a little crunchy and not so soggy. But the flavor was decent.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have no recommendations on whether or not one should come here or not come here, but it was a very eerie feeling being the only one inside the restaurant being served that is usually not a good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Item in the line. Some made to order, but all you want.

Oh man. Hand me my white tube socks and my cut-off Def Leppard t-shirt because we're off to play…read moresome pinball!! Man, this really brought me back. Conveniently located right off Grand Ave (US 60) in a little strip mall right in the heart of Surprise. Tons of ample parking for you and some of your closest friends! We were greeted immediately when we walked in. Contrary to what a few of the other reviews have said, you do ** NOT ** need to bring quarters with you. Obviously, you can. But it's not necessary. The nice gentleman running the place today gladly took our $20 bill and give us a few $5 bills back. From there, you can go to their change machine in the back, chuck in your $1 bills or $5 bills and it'll spit out quarters at you. Once you've got your pockets full of quarters, head over to one of the many machines and be prepared to be entertained! It's $1 per game. I know, but this ain't 1984 anymore so a dollar per game checks out. We blew through our $20 in a hair over an hour. It is incredibly clean inside! The machines functioned with no issues at all and I can't stress enough about how clean the machines (and everything) was here at Player 1! If you want to partake in some soda or alcohol, they can serve you up some refreshments while you've got your hands full with a pinball machine. Super fun way to spend a hot summertime afternoon here in Arizona. We will DEFINITELY be back. Such a cool place. Can't recall the last time I saw this many pinball machines lined up in a row. I think I was listening to Van Halen on cassette on my boom box. Highly recommended, friends! Go check them out!

Do you want to travel back in time? Do you miss pinball and the sound of clinking quarters? What if…read moreI told you it still exists in Surprise today, with a bar? Player 1 Arcade doesn't serve food, but they offer fun! I love beer sours, and they had four options, one on tap. The blueberry warhead sour was phenomenal. Service was great; we chatted. They had childhood games like Street Fighter, Galaga and Elvira. Check the murals in all three bathrooms (different themes). My favorite was the Take on Me mural, but Bowie, Prince and Ghostbusters are cool too. They had Beastie Boys. It's not loud, but not crowded on Sunday. They have a pinball league. Check Instagram for info. Happy hour is 3-7 with $1 drinks. A fun date night or stop for drinks.

So there we were, headed to Castles N' Coasters a wholesome amusement park in the desert... a place…read morefor families, laughter, and apparently, poor decision-making. Now my buddy this man reaches into his pocket and pulls out what I can only describe as a historical artifact. I'm talking a doobie so big it looked like Bob Marley himself rolled it during a greatest hits tour. I said, "Absolutely not. I am a grown man. I got responsibilities. I got a mortgage. I got snacks at home I haven't even finished yet." That didn't matter. Next thing I know, windows are up, car turns into a Dutch oven of bad decisions, and now I'm just along for the ride literally and spiritually. Somewhere between "this is a bad idea" and "why is everything funny," I lost control of the evening. We pull into the park around that magical time you know, that in-between hour... not quite day, not quite night... like God dimmed the lights and said, "Alright boys, let's see what happens." The whole place is glowing neon lights, arcade buzz, roller coasters rattling in the distance. Felt like walking into a carnival dream... or maybe a fever dream. Jury's still out. Now here's the thing about this place it's been around since the late '70s, sitting right there in Phoenix like a desert time capsule of fun. You got four roller coasters, including the Desert Storm, which sounds fun until you're on it reconsidering every life choice that led you there. Then there's the Patriot wooden, loud, and about as gentle as a bar fight. And somehow... SOMEHOW... we thought tequila beforehand was a good idea. So now we're buzzed, slightly baked against our will, and wandering this park like three philosophers who lost their notes. We're laughing at everything. Nothing's funny but everything's hilarious. A trash can? Comedy gold. A churro? Best thing I've ever eaten in my life. A child running past me? I'm emotionally invested in his journey. But I'll give credit where it's due the park itself? Clean. Staff's friendly. Nobody's judging three grown men giggling like idiots. It's got that old-school charm too arcades, mini golf, rides, the whole deal. You can bring a family here... or whatever version of a situation we were. Now the rides... oh, the rides. Let me tell you something nothing will make you rediscover fear like being slightly out of your mind on a roller coaster you thought you could handle. I got scared... not once... not twice... but a few times. The kind of scared where you start making promises to God you don't intend to keep. "I'll be a better man if I survive this drop..." Didn't mean a word of it. By the end of the night, we had the munchies, the laughs, and just enough dignity left to get back to the car without needing a group meeting. For a couple hours, though? We were kids again. No responsibilities. No stress. Just lights, noise, and pure, ridiculous fun. So yeah Castles N' Coasters might be a family amusement park... but under the right or completely wrong circumstances, it turns into one hell of a story. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just... maybe crack a window on the way there.

There's a couple machines upstairs that "ate our money". It's a play card with credits, but there…read moreare a couple times the games didn't let us play or credit us for a game. Also, the Simpsons machine doesn't let you play Lisa. it picks Bart if you select Lisa's button. Another machine is Zoltar downstairs. He only talks, but does not spit out a souvenir ticket. That one actually did eat my dollar. I guess it made up for it because a couple people abandoned their games downstairs in the middle, so the bf and I played for "free". It was on someone else's dime, but I guess that counts, too. We got nachos and drinks from the snack bar. Service was quick. As with any family fun event center, food was a bit overpriced. The female bathroom was nasty. I don't know how often they clean them, but there was paper all over the stall floor. The faucets had a lot of buildup on them. Both the male and female restrooms smelled funky. I didn't play at the putt putt section, but one day I'll be back to do that. Overall, a good arcade/food experience. I'd recommend this place to people. I cannot comment on any of the rides/attractions besides the arcade.

We tried this for the first time and what a disappointment. Ordered tickets and concessions about 1/2 before the movie. We showed up 20 minutes before the movie, scanned our tickets and went to our seats. Nothing showed up! Waited til the movie started and still nothing. Went out and found an employee to ask about this. She said she would check on it, so I went back into the theater. Wait 10 minutes and got up to check on this again. Found same employee and she said they were working on it. When it finally arrived they dropped off our order, but no napkins. Love the idea of this service, but the execution is not great. I will just go to concessions in the future.

I went here nearly daily for years. Their day pass is a really good value, and the people that run…read morethe spot are insnanely nice. It's cool place to run into and meet people you probably never would be otherwise who likely play the same stuff as you. There's snacks for purchase inside, a subway in the other part of the building, a convenient store that has everything on the other side.. so really there is everything you could ever need. The lighting on the inside is cool, and the computers run everything, are in good condition. The only downside I ever ran into was that sometimes you need to hunt around for a working headset, but other than that . 10/10

Genuinely just not a space for anything besides casual gameplay, the first thing I noticed…read moreimmediately were these plastic bumpers between each desk. Understandably they're there to keep everyone within their designated ~42 inch square but realistically there's no way to aim here, you will absolutely smack your mouse into the bumper if your normal sens exceeds 15cm/180. That math might sound kinda funky but they have a full 100% keyboard with a numpad, so you lose all that space in practice unless you curl up in a wildly unnatural position and rest the keyboard on the plastic bumpers but nothing I did even remotely made this place comfortable. It's as if they've never had anyone play a shooter here, or everyone who ever has had an eDPi of 12000 or higher. They aren't really equipped for MMOs either, every mouse in sight was a Razer Deathadder Essential, no Nagas or Scimitars or even a knockoff 12 button, so unless you're clicking your buttons or reaching to the = key naturally on a full sized keyboard you're crippled. I picked up a 5 hour session off the rip because my buddies in town and I only have one PC in my place, I couldn't even survive 30 minutes here before just giving up and deciding to watch him play, but even a guy who never gets to play, who really wants to play, couldn't survive more than an hour and a half of his five hours. Side note, we pushed in our chair to make space to walk through the aisle and the light rattle of the desk sent a PC for a whole bootloop back to BIOS. If you aren't desperate it's something, but don't come here for Overwatch or Valorant or CSGO or really any shooter.
