This place is amazing and worth the price😁! I saw lots of videos about this place being a Mexican buffet for $19.99 all you can eat. So I waited and waited and finally and the chance to come by around 11:30 am! La señora up front was so sweet and communicative about the buffet and offered me some quesadillas and tortillas! I felt like I as at home. The food is very delicious and authentic! I can tell they worked so hard to make all of this happen (images below)
Overall, this place is a must visit, especially for the holidays. I wish this place the best and hoping they stay in business! I left a thank you note to show my appreciation for being hospitable to the community! Thank you ♥️

I’ve tried a lot of different Mexican restaurants in Chicago and I mean a lot. This place is number 2 now on my list. Out of respect I won’t name my first but this place is actually really really good. I promise the flavors and authenticity is there. Definitely be back soon!

(Translated by Google) The concept of a Mexican buffet fascinated me, as it's not something you see every day.
The owner, Patty, greeted us with a smile, great humor, and incredibly friendly customer service.
The food was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and the spice level was just right. Handmade tortillas, champurrado (only available during the winter season), and reasonable prices—what more could you ask for?
Unfortunately, I don't live in Chicago, but when I return, I'll definitely go back to Patty's restaurant.
Greetings from Paris 👋🏽 and thank you for a wonderful experience.
(Original)
El concepto de un buffet mexicana me fascinó, ya que no es algo muy común.
La dueño se llama Patty, nos recibió con una sonrisa, buen humor, y un servicio al cliente increíblemente amable.
La comida riquísima, buen sazón y el nivel de picante estaba al punto. Tortillas hechas a mano, champurrado (solo el temporada de invierno), precio razonable, ¿qué más se puede pedir?
Lamentablemente no vivo en Chicago pero cuando vuelva, sin duda regresaré al restaurante de Patty.
Saludos desde París 👋🏽 y gracias por una experiencia maravillosa.
