Food was not good. But it was hot and I recieved it quickly. So I went back last night with my family. I watched a delivery man come in and wait for 45 minutes for the food he was supposed to deliver. I started paying attention and thought it was amazing how they stood there and talked about him in a very rude and condescending way. I speak Mexican fluently, it is not true Spanish, and listened how they talked about gringos and how they are bad people. I looked around the restaurant and saw that the 9 patrons in the restaurant were ALL gringos. I will never come to this establishment again and I encourage all gringos to do the same. The amount of disrespect was overwhelming and the man took it in stride. After he left they continued to talk about him. I think it is amazing that the people who work there think know one can understand them. Appalling to say the least. If I could leave a negative star...

My friends and I have been coming here since the restaurant first opened. We have had dinner there once and multiple lunches. Overall I would say that we visited this restaurant at least 30 times. We love the price of the buffet. But over the last couple of months of going there the food has seemed to lose its quality. I have noticed the quesadillas and fajitas having gristle in the meat. The Buffet usually runs from 11 AM to 3 PM. It’s best to go early otherwise a lot of the food becomes cold or rather scarce on the buffet.

Overall the biggest problem at this restaurant seems to be the service. The older man that works here is always very friendly and polite to the customers, but the younger man with piercings is always somewhat rude. The younger man Almost seems like he’s just trying to get rid of you. Tableservice is almost nonexistent as well. Getting refills on your drinks are...

Very Non-Professional, not loyal and the man-bun waiter is terrible. He first starts off by not bringing drinks, then follows with not bringing chips and salsa. Forgive me if I’m wrong but I thought the chips and salsa was part of the Mexican dining experience. Have been going to the place several months at least 3 times per week. Affordable but not fresh as it could be. My daughter had a couple 1x1 pieces of water melon that I asked for a box so she could take. The man bun acted like I was going to try and load the box from buffet and said he’d have to charge. I said I’d pay for the damn slice of damn skunked watermelon. Must had charged $10.00 because it was $24.00. Normally 13.00. Needless to say he did not receive a tip. The other gentlemen however are much better servers and do not poorly serve the customer. Move the man bun to dishes if you want customers to have a decent...

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and have traveled across the Country for decades. I won a Cinco De Mayo Salsa Contest with dozens of top notch contestants. I know Mexican food. And I love this restuarant. The atmosphere is primo, as is the food and service. I travel out of my way, to this restaurant, knowing I will never be disappointed. The decor and music compliments the finest Mexican food, I can find. I reside a couple thousand miles away from Richmond, Ky. But, when I am able to dine in Richmond, I always head for this place. Just like L.A., San Antonio, and Albuquerque has great Mexican places to dine out in real Mexican Atmosphere so does Richmond, Kentucky. It's called "El Mejor". But, before you enter, and order your meal, be sure to take a few steps into the Mall, and check out "Wild Huckelberry", where you can dress to impress, for less than you might guess. Sabor a MI.

This is the second one away from mi pueblo 2 between these two Mexican restaurants they are the only ones I would recommend! The steak burrito was charred to perfection,😋🥴 The seasoning on that steak bouncing on my tongue baebey....mmm I'm just happy to find another Mexican restaurant that doesn't just only serve the Caucasian's in the community, but the people that actually like the restaurant's food to actually have good flavor. I like to taste the seasoning in my food. I highly recommend this establishment. 🤌🏾🤌🏾 It's chef's kiss 👄👄

I loved the fact that they played Mexican music! I love the original feeling of feeling like we walked into Mexico 🇲🇽 not many restaurants are so authentic but this 1 is! Thanks for the great experience! I loved it! Food is good, service is good, they actually check on you! I was impressed. We will definitely be back for the buffet next time! We didn't make it in time but that's okay, gives us something to look forward to next time! Thanks!
