We had an all you can eat lunch $30. The salad bar had very nice options and really fresh with delicious roasted fegetables, salads, salad dressings, fresh fruit, sliced cheeses and meats. Also offered a hot bar with traditional rice, beans, vegetables, and stews. Also fried potato’s, plantains and more. They very friendly servers kept coming with different meat cuts (chorizo, chicken, all different cuts of meat, pork ribs, and shrimp. We found the meat to be tasty but a bit tooo well done for my taste. Overall, a good value for you carnivores.
