The food is good. There’s a variety of Tex-Mex cuisine, which I can appreciate. The tortillas were fresh and soft. So good. They also have a wide range of Mexican dessert. Bread pudding and all!! The service is also good. Our waiter never waited for us to ask for a refill. He was on it!! This is a good place to stuff your face and get your money’s worth.

The food is good, just missing little seasoning, taste was bland, but ok, edible; dessert area was missing authentic pan dulce, I think Mexican food has a different varieties and doesn’t need to have Chinese items on the menu; servers running around and not putting emphasis on customers, I have to ask twice for silverware; little pricey, once I pay less by pound, cleanliness have to be main focus too, I saw some little cockroach inside the bathrooms; so far the experience was good definitely I will be back, but put more attention on little details, before the health department do an inspection.

Everything was great here. The highlight for me was having Chinese style pork ribs with Mexican food, and a fresh grilled steak made to order.

I don’t know if it was the day we decided to eat at Hacienda Vallarta or what but it was bad. My husband and I went on a Tuesday at 6pm there was maybe 3 other parties dining when we arrived. This was the first time we had ever been here. When we went to get our food the food looked old like it had been there all day (which it probably was). Most of the food was drenched in oil and even veggies… how is that?!?!?? My best plate was the one filled with salad. Some of the food we tried had no flavor not even salt. The best item my husband was the steak. My husband ordered a michelada and even that was bad, it didn’t have any flavor. We’ve been to many Mexican restaurants this place is not a good option. I suggest you don’t waste your time or money.

Pretty Good! A little odd coming in since the hostess told us to sit and pay after. Then while sitting the waitress asked us for a receipt, after explaining we had to go back up front to pay and sit down again. Other than that it was pretty good. Typical buffet flavors and pricing. Make sure your table has a salt shaker because you may need it. The food overall was good, hot, and clean! Lots of options of Mexican and Chinese foods with a very large dessert bar. The staff were friendly and it was not busy at all during dinner time on a Wednesday.

Ordered three entrees on Uber Eats and all they sent was two tortillas and beans with a note that they don’t serve breakfast after 3pm.

We made a quick run to San Antonio for a few days and planned to check out Hacienda Vallarta. This place has everything (except tamales ☹️), but the food was DELICIOUS. They even have Chinese! Everything was fresh and the staff was attentive. The carnitas and fried fish was really good, and my son had a ball with the desserts. Probably about 10 different desserts in addition to 8 flavors of ice cream set up like an ice cream shop where you scoop it yourself. Soups, salad, meats, veggies and traditional Mexican dishes. Definitely give this place a go. Even a picky eater will find something good to munch on here Very reasonably priced, too. Next time we are down that way we will definitely go back!

Never been to a Mexican Buffet so we were kind of skeptical but to our surprise it has been the best buffet we have been to. We happen to be from Mexico and we must say that they do a very good job at this place it’s not cheap quality like most buffets do it’s not the best quality either but it’s good enough quality that you get your moneys worth. Some stuff was alright but no place is ever perfect but overall it was a great experience really good food for it to be a buffet. Biggest surprise was the dessert! This place has better desserts than places that aren’t buffet! Not cheap desserts good variety and good quality! The flan is the best I’ve had at it even competes with Flan that expensive places sell like the Brazilian Steak houses. Overall highly recommend this place was very surprised. I don’t really go to buffets now a days since the prices have gone up and quality has gone down. But this place I will be back again for sure it’s the same price as other buffets with better food and better quality. I hardly ever leave reviews but this one really deserves it because buffets are not always the cleanest places to eat and quality is usually is average to low but this places looks like they try their best to keep it clean and maintain good quality variety in their in their food.
