Brilliantly decorated! The staff was so sweet and accommodating for my family! Made sure our baby wagon got stored inside and out of tue rain/snow and helped us move tables that would fit us and our food better after we ordered. We ordered the platter for 4 and it fed us WELL with plenty leftover. Everything was delicious! Margaritas were tasty
 could have been bigger! 😉 The live birds kept our boys entertained, which was lovely. One of the best restaurant experiences we’ve had in a long time.

Managed to get a seat for 5 at short notice, and that was on a Saturday night. Very accommodating staff. Food was All You Can Eat, for I think €34.00. We found it had a great selection of food.

First visit and we were pleasantly surprised. This evening it was meant as buffet only. Buffet had tasty food and good warm temperatures. Constantly replenished with new servings so you will not easily have food that has been laying in the buffet for long time. Service was quick with beverages and clearing plates. Worth the visit.

I love Mexican food. This is like religion to me. I’ve lived in Los Angeles for many years and spent a lot of time in Mexico, so
 I’m like a high priest of Mexican food. No Im not kidding. This place wasn’t bad, if you don’t call it Mexican food. The folks here are nice, and the service was great, but the food was confusing. I went with the buffet (they push it), I wouldn’t do that again. If I were to give this place another shot, I’d order something from the menu instead. I’m trying to find a way to describe this place without sounding too negative because, honestly, it wasn’t bad
 it just wasn’t authentic, traditional, or particularly good. There’s a European flair thrown into the mix, probably to be expected. Follow me here- It’s like ordering a pizza in Lithuania, and finding they put pickles on top. No clue why. If they could control themselves on the pickles, you’d have a great pizza—but they can’t. If you’re at a local place in Lithuania, you’re getting pickles on your pizza. This Mexican food is similarly altered. They miss most flavor profiles in my opinion. That said, they did have a chili verde that almost saved the buffet - But the “guacamole” at the salad bar? That’s a tough sell. They might make it fresh, but if so, they’ve figured out a way to make it taste like it was squeezed out of a bag. I didn’t really want to go there with this review, but this place feels a bit like Campbell Soup opening a Mexican restaurant and doing the best they can with whatever ingredients they have in the fridge. Another thing - Mexican food and pinto beans, or what we call refried beans, are inseparable. A Mexican restaurant without them is like opening a Dutch restaurant in Mexico without cheese. If you’ve got a Mexican restaurant without beans, well
 you don’t got beans. This place seems to put a ton of effort into things most people wouldn’t consider Mexican food and definitely didn’t go there for. It’s more of an international buffet, and if that’s what they’re going for, cool, good job. But everything about the ambience and the restaurant says “I’m trying to make Mexican food”. SO some unsolicited advice from someone you don’t know or care about: focus on the basics—refried beans, rice, chicken fajitas, steak fajitas, freshly made guac, a salsa bar (yours is close), a pan of cheese enchiladas, and some tamales. You nailed the chili verde, so props for that. After that, add a couple of stacks of fresh flour and corn tortillas, seasoned rice, and you can literally eliminate almost everything else on your buffet bar. Or I should say - do whatever you want after that. But if you’re missing those points, just call it something else that’s all. Keep the chips for the nachos. You get my point—I think you’re spending a ton of money and time on a bunch of things that are not relatable and people likely don’t care about. My son and I came in for dinner, tried a few things, and decided we wanted to eat somewhere else. We were happy to pay and leave a tip—the service was great—but the food just didn’t hit the mark for us. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican dishes and flavors, this might not be the spot for a discerning palette - but if you’re open to an international twist, it could work for you.
