“ The breakfast buffet has an amazing variety, and if you want to taste real food from Tabasco, this is the place. Everything was freshly made, and you can really taste the authenticity in every dish. The price is extremely affordable for the quality and selection you get. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff was incredibly attentive — the waiters kept checking in to make sure everything was perfect. They offer a great selection of drinks, including coffee, jamaica, and horchata. I tried the plantains, platanito frito, cecina, flautitas, tostadas, tamalitos, and eggs prepared in different styles. My absolute favorite was huevos con longaniza — full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The empanaditas de queso con azúcar took me straight back to my grandma’s kitchen — pure comfort and nostalgia. The place is not fancy, but it is very clean, welcoming, and comfortable. It’s great for families, but honestly for anyone who appreciates good food. It feels like a local spot, but any tourist would truly appreciate the variety and authentic flavors. It was my first time visiting, and I will definitely be coming back — and bringing my family with me. ”
“ Is not he best place but food is ok. They did take longer than expected to bring out the food though. ”
“ Excelente vale la pena, comida muy rica, servicio súper excelente la mesera Rebeca que nos atendió súper amable y siempre atenta satisfacho con todo lo recomiendo para la familia y amigos ”
“ La comida es muy rica, los meseros son muy amables aunque aveces es un poco tardado la atención, esto debido a que muchas personas llegan debido a lo económico y rico de la comida, pero no es algo que preocupe. Es apenas un poco tardado. El ambiente es agradable. Lo esperado en un buffet. Todo muy recomendable ”
“ Bang for the buck factor. And it tastes pretty dang good too. ”
