| - 5 stars for a non strip buffet? YASSSSS.
So, I'm not your typical Elite. I eat at cheap places, I don't go to Europe, and I definitely don't stand on top of chairs to get the perfect photo of my food, which in turn gets cold. I'm the anti-foodie, foodie. LOL. BUT I know good food.
I've never been here before, and kind of scoffed since it seemed like a "janky" hotel/casino. I was looking for somewhere that wasn't going to cost my son and I an arm and a leg to eat breakfast, but still get the options. So, I took to the interwebs. I first looked at Santa Fe Station then here... the reason I chose here is because of the tex mex food items offered. Off we went.
We parked in the garage, and to get here you have to walk through the casino. It's a great idea to do that, especially if y'all gorge yourself. I see you.
The line was semi long, but went by quick! Breakfast (Mon-Sat) is 6.99 with a players card for those 2 and up. Lunch is 7.99 with PC, Brunch with champs (Sun) is 9.99 with a PC, and dinner is 9.99 with PC, unless there is like a specialty night, but you can look that up. We ended up getting here at 10:30am so we got to eat both breakfast and lunch. You know how some places make you go away, or won't put lunch items out, or will karate chop you if you try to take some green beans? They do not do that here!
The cashier was nice, as was the hostess. Irma was our server and she was amazing!! Love her!
Inside is quite large and very spacious! I was actually blown away with how many items were offered. If you read other review, they hella dog on this place. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you just spent 68.99$ on that meal.... RIGHT. Well, here even though you pay under 10$ it's quite impressive. The place is clean, and doesn't stink. The tables are actually super nice, as is the seating. Unlike The Orleans, gross.
FOOD!!! We had their breakfast offerings: french toast, waffles, chicken fried steak, tater tots, bacon, and pime rib. They literally offer SO MUCH. Prime rib for 6.99? WTF?! All of the items were pretty dame decent, the french toast was not flat as a board and the chicken fried steak was not greasy and disgusting. The prime rib was cooked medium rare, but they had rare and gross aka well. LOL. Sine we got there when they were changing over the breakfast items, we also had the chance to eat lunch, this is where the magic happens!!!
POZOLE!? TACOS AL PASTOR?! ALBONGIAS?! WHAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!????? Ay guey! Yes! They have this! And a reliable source told me they prepare everything IN HOUSE. And that the others cough *red rocK* cough is actually canned! And believe me, you can definitely tell! The pozole was so effing delicious! The taco, ayy que rico, and the albondigas were so tasty! Coming from a straight beaner, this is the real deal! They also have many other Mexican offerings, they looked delicious!
The other offerings included: real charbroiled burgers, they even char the bun on the grill!, stroganoff, green beans, so many pizzas!, pastas, chow mein, spring rolls, sausage, a salad bar, and insane assortment of deserts! They offer sugar free, reduced sugar, and regular! The desert area is effing huge! I tried the peach cobbler with vanilla soft serve, OMG. I also had a reduced sugar blondie, WOW!!!! They also have pumpkin pie, banana cream, german chocolate, mousse, and SO MUCH MORE.
I didn't get diarrhea, so this is legit my new favorite spot. Obviously this review is for breakfast and lunch, haven't been there for dinner. I've been to many a buffet - high end to low end. Trust my review.
YAY!!!
