Guadalajara Authentic Mexican Buffet

I am dubious about any restaurant that serves buffet, but after hearing only good things from friends with high standards we tried this place for lunch. I was the only gringo there, which is always a good sign for authenticity. All the food appeared fresh, as they were clearly going through platters quickly.

The food was awesome! I don't think I've ever eaten everything off my plate at a buffet before; there's always one or two duds, but not this time. The enchiladas with both red and green sauce were my favorites. The ceviche was excellent too. They have horchata to drink, which I love, and a delicious marinated pork. I wasn't brave enough to do oysters on the half shell, but they did have them.

I waited to make sure my belly didn't pay the price for our visit before writing this review. All clear!

I stopped by here on my way to the airport. The food was decent, especially when you factor in its a buffet. I went with buffet without the seafood.

I had some food mole, enchiladas and tacos. Overall i think its decent food but I will continue to try other places.

Service was good as well. Although they gave me flour tortillas after i asked for corn tortillas

I've been here twice now, the first time being around 8 months ago.  I just don't understand the over-the-top positive reviews.  I went back, due to the insistence of a friend.

The place is pretty dirty and run down, particularly the bathrooms.  The "authentic" Mexican beverages are watered down mixes dispensed from a soda fountain.  Their idea of flan is white gelatin blocks floating in water.  The other "stars" of the desserts area were overripe melon varieties and stale boxed cookies.  The pork (I sampled 3 varieties) has a rancid taste and veins/arteries (maybe that's why I had digestive "issues" for the next several hours.

All of the hot food items on the buffet when I was there were held at about room temperature.  They had some beef ribs that were OK.  The enchiladas (2 varieties) had cooled to the point of being hard cheese in the middle and had little flavor.  The rice was pretty good, actually.  They also feature spaghetti floating in congealed margarine...yumm!

I guess the price is reasonable ($9.95 for regular buffet and $15.95 for a seafood buffet option.)  The employees were pleasant and attentive; I'm just scared of the food and won't be back.
