Baja Sur Restaurant — Restaurant in Jackson

If I had to imagine what home cooked Mexican food was like... Then the food at "Baja Sur" would serve as a great example. I just happened to stumble onto this hidden gem of a restaurant and I consider this restaurant as my go to Mexican Food Buffet. That's right I said, "Mexican Food Buffet" and more. The food on the buffet is yummy and cooked right. You have "make your own Tacos", with all the fixings, mole pork (tender), Menudo and various vegetable selections as well as fresh fruit and much more. There is a full menu to order from for dine in or carry out. There is a "bodega" type store on the south side of the restaurant, with items galore. All in all, this Restaurant and store is a great place for lunch or dinner. I will end with this, the owner is very personable and the staff is very friendly. And this place is...

I made a horrible mistake today. I went to an all you can eat Mexican buffet in South Jackson, located in a semi abandoned shopping center. I, personally, enjoy terrible eating experiences most of the time. It gives me excitement. But as soon as I went in for my second plate, I knew I had done something wrong. My stomach started bubbling and I had to clinch my cheeks together to keep myself from spewing my liquid waste on the floor. The molé tasted horrible and was more than likely made of rodent and not chicken. And even if it was chicken, it was at room temperature, so you wouldn’t be able to tell. White people from the state of Michigan could season their food better than these folks. All in all, quite the grotesque experience. 10/10 would recommend if you want to be disappointed...

Let me start off by saying these people are so nice. Made sure we were taken care of and was very attentive. The store and restaurant are very clean. The only problem is the food. Now they have a couple items that we good like the soups but I was very disappointed in the taco meat, basically all the meats they had on thr buffet it was just bland and wasn't what i expected. Tacobell would have been a better choice to be honest. Also, 2 people was 40 dollars for lunch buffet just disappointing to spend 40 dollars for a meal that was not good at all. Me and my kid walked out with frowns on our face. But they are really nice people they just need to tweak their recipes...
