| - A co-worker saw a truck a couple weeks ago that was advertising a Mexican buffet near work for $6.99. He told me about it and we decided to visit when we had time. Today was the time.
Finding the place was a joke. We drove all over Golden Gate Plaza looking, but you have to drive behind Golden Gate to get to it, unless you're coming from Mayfield Rd. It's slightly east of Golden Gate and the entrance is off of Mayfield Rd. just before the southbound on ramp. Anyway, once we found it, we were promptly greeted and sat in a booth per our request. Also, the price was $7.95, not the $6.95 that we were expecting. The place had one large group of people and a few small groups, but on the whole, was empty.
After a minute, a waitress showed up and asked us for drinks. Good thing the co-worker understood what she said because I sure didn't. We asked for the buffet and then we helped ourselves.
I took a look at the buffet and there wasn't much food, but I guess if you're creative, you can come up with many combinations. I loaded my plate up with fajitas. I got chicken and steak, which is already mixed with peppers and onions. I was little disappointed that there wasn't any shrimp! I then went to the taco bar and added some toppings to my plate. Then I found the warm fajitas wrapped in foil. They got that part right. The fajitas were quite tasty, but we both concurred that the food is not as good as Cozumel. That was priority #1. They were also fairly messy and a little more greasy than expected. The quality of the steak and chicken were good to above average.
I also tried the cinnamon tortilla desert, which is like Taco Bell's cinnamon sticks. They were okay, but they tasted like roasted marshmallow. There were several items that I didn't try because I literally stuffed myself with Fajitas and Sierra Mist.
My co-worker tried a few different things, including a seasoned chicken breast, which he seemed to enjoy, little chicken burritos, and several other things. He said the food was good, but the service was lacking. He also thought the ambiance was nice and I agreed.
One thing this place could use is a salsa bar and some hot sauce. We only received one cup of salsa, which was kind of bland - no kick. Also, there was no hot sauce at the bar or table. We asked for some and it came in a small cup.
The decor was nice and the restaurant was actually fairly large, so it would be good for groups. I'm sure i'll be back.
I'd recommend this buffet it if you can find it.
