“ Best Mexican buffet in McAllen, lots of good choices with great taste. ”
“ Let me tell you something about this place... The food is amazing!!!! As someone that was looking for good flavor, this is the place! The burritos are beyond amazing and the salsas have the right amount of spicy and flavor. They do serve chips as courtesy and you can ask for cilantro, cebolla, lime, etc. As soon as you enter the place you will see the special of the days. The prices are good and the amount of food is enough. They coffee is refill and is less than 2.00. The staff is very friendly and they always give you a warm welcome, they work fast even when its crowded so shout out to the kitchen too! The place has enough tables but sometimes on Sundays is too crowded, but besides isnt a problem. ”
