Delicious food with good price. Staff was friendly and service was good. We liked the colorful environment too. We ordered Tasajo and Tlayudas, all tasted good. The waiter introduced the rice drink Horchata, which I enjoyed very much.

Went for the mid-day buffet. There are many options, all of them tasty. Don't pass up this great option., especially if you have a group of people. Honestly, I've had the mole in all the upscale places and the mole negro here was as good as or better than some of those places.

It's a good place for travelers. Price are fine, so things are good. It's not a gourmet point but the food quality is acceptable. Staff is friendly, the only one think to be improved is the restroom. The cleanliness is not the proper one and they are quite narrow.

Given its close proximity to El Zócalo and the fact that it's an "all you can eat" buffet including unlimited drinks, the price (121 pesos) is a good value. The food is ok, nothing special but good enough. The service is ok too. My only concern is the sanitation of the buffet, especially with the pandemic. In other buffets (that are half the price), there's glass protecting the food from visitors and masked employees place food on your plate. Here, it's an open buffet. No glass, customers serve themselves, and the employees didn't seem to clean the area frequently. They do require masks, take your temperature, and spray you down with sanitizer before entry, but they could do more - especially since you're paying twice as much as other places.

I've tried 4-5 buffets in Oaxaca but this is my least favorite. They only had 2 meat choices and one was not even warm (although the chicken mole was pretty good). They also charge 120 pesos instead of 50-60 pesos at other buffets, although they do accept credit cards.
