This is a must if you ever want to get the full Mexico experience. This place has been here forever, I remember coming here as a kid, and it’s always been an amazing experience. Every time I come back to visit I make a point to come to this place. You can’t go wrong here, whether you come for their traditional mexican buffet breakfast, or their full lunch/dinner with a mariachi show, you will leave happy. Now this is as authentic as it gets for a restaurant experience in Mexico. The barbacoa is incredible, you can choose to order by the taco or by weight. I recommend if you come with a group to order by weight. The consome is very tasty and complements your barbacoa. The chicharron and guacamole come out in a molcajete, I recommend ordering the nopales with this and making some tacos. Try all their salsas, you won’t be disappointed. They have all kinds of quesadillas, my favorites are flor de calabaza con queso and hongos con queso. Carnitas are also great, also recommend ordering by weight. At around 3 PM they’ll have a mariachi show, which if you’re looking for that Mexico experience you will love it. They used to have Fernando Cravioto as the main act, he is incredible! Last time I went he wasn’t there, but I hope this isn’t permanent. For the breakfast buffet it is held in a different room, there is no mariachi show. There is something for everyone here too, again very authentic dishes. I love their arrachera, cecina, quesadillas and pretty much everything they have here. The guisados are great, chicharron en salsa verde is one of the best. Fresh juice, coffee and traditional pastries. Highly recommend. You know the place is authentic when it’s mostly locals and very few tourists, although the ones we’ve brought here have loved it.

Great buffet breakfast!!! They have everything from fruit, cereal, soups, cecina, sopes, desserts, hot chocolate, churros, everything delicious. Restaurant is very nicely decorated. Service is excellent, we had a big table but service was over the top, our server was Salvador and he made sure we always had what we needed.

I really love it! I go there every time I am in Mexico! The consome, Barbacoa and Carnitas are fresh and delicious! You get warm tortillas every minute! The salsas and side dishes are also great, as well as the service! They should promote themselves again and maybe improve their marketing to be full again.Mostly for breakfast, since they also offer great and delicious options.... recommendations: incorporate somehow barbacoa and carnitas into the weekend buffet !!! Thank you again for my delicious tacos!

Delicious barbacoa! The food has an amazing flavor. The service is generally pretty good. The waiters have good organization and are very attentive. The show is fantastic. It can affect a bit the customer's conversations; the music makes it difficult to talk to each other.
