"My daughter and I visited the lunch buffet on March 14, 2024. We spent just over an hour there, enjoying our meal and chatting. The buffet costs $12.99 per person, excluding taxes and gratuity. Unfortunately, we found that most of the sauce containers were empty, with only one still filled. Additionally, more than half of the hot entrees were gone and not restocked. I mentioned this to an employee who did make an effort to refill some items, but it felt like the kitchen and management were indifferent to the situation. This was not the experience we have come to expect from this location. Given the limited options, I would say it's not worth the $12.99+ price tag. I will consider returning for lunch, but I will definitely check the buffet's offerings before sitting down next time."

Ordered some food, it seemed okay. went to eat the churros tasted stale and old so I checked them and one had mold growing on it...

Their dinners are really good, much more enjoyable than the lunch buffet. Not digging lunch, but later in the day it is not crowded or noisy.
Don
The food was delicious, and although our server had limited English and seemed unsure about gluten-free options, we didn't encounter any issues. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience in a vibrant family-run Mexican restaurant. View menu

Went on a Sunday. The lunch buffet was very affordable, $20 for two people. They had a good selection of items on the buffet. The food was a little cold but we did arrive after 1pm. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp to get into the restaurant.

Attractive decor, quick seating, and food delivery. Descent queso dip. Decent pricing on the happy hour jumbo margarita, but it tasted far too alcoholic with barely a hint of lime.We've been to two other local Mexican restaurants and are still searching for a.good margarita in this area of southern Roanoke.

Honestly wish I could say it was better. My boyfriend and I planned our anniversary here specifically because we were interested in trying the Birria beef tacos. We were the only ones in the restaurant and the service was poor, my order was wrong, and our food just seemed so bland. The bill was $50, will not be returning to this View menu

I'm saddened to write this review, as this used to be the best Mexican restaurant in Roanoke. While it remains clean, has friendly staff, and serves great chips and salsa, the once-fabulous lunch buffet has deteriorated each time I've visited, despite the rising prices. On my most recent visit yesterday, they didn't even have soft-shell tortillas or cheese quesadillas available. I'm grateful for the memories, but it's disappointing to see how much this place has declined.

Update: The server did not understand English well enough to get the order correct. Seemed frustrated at me, the customer. Also, at check out, a different person helping did not say anything, for example: How was your visit? Thank you for visiting (He said nothing). Service has gone down here. Disappointed. Hope management gets service back to where it was because it used to be consistently good. There are many other Mexican restaurants in Roanoke.Original: Take out, food delicious affordable. Consistent.
