| - I deducted stars because the Mexican food station was abysmal. No enchiladas? Taquitos or Flautas? Chile Rellenos? Crispy tacos? Or anything besides made to order soft tacos? Only other dish was machaca that looked like throw up in a crock pot. Also, no true Mexican rice or refried beans. Instead, they had a premixed rice and beans that looked more appropriate for New Orleans dish.
Two of the Asian dishes at crab and shrimp in their shells, which were impossible to eat.
The Rio buffet which is half the price has a Mexican station that blows this place out of the water. Also, the Chinese duck at Rio is better. The fat on the duck here was not properly rendered.
I normally would have deducted two more stars: one for lack of kids cups--seriously guys, you'll wait til a kid hurts himself with shattered glass? And service was horrendous. Our server was rude, defensive, and MIA most of the night. We bussed our own table. However, with all the food positives, I added the 2 stars back in.
A little sneaky of them to put the hot crab legs hidden in the Italian station and not visible (I only thought to ask because I saw drawn butter). Why not just put it with the other seafood dishes at the seafood station???????
Also, no pork ribs, and certainly no tomahawk ribeye that a lot of their photos show. Given all the above flaws, 4 stars is generous, but it is still the best buffet I've ever been to, so I'm feeling generous.
