The weekend buffet was lovely as always. While the visiting mariachi band was a bit loud for my taste, it added character.

This is my second time at this Sunday brunch buffet and it's delicious every time! The cafe de olla is made to perfection, the little Mexican bread is so cute and delicious, the quesabirria tacos, enchiladas Michoacánas, menudo, etc. is all so delicious and flavorful. The servers are great and always so happy and caring to get everything you need. The atmosphere looks very like old Mexico vibes which is beautiful and love all the Frida Kahlo art work inside. Sometimes they have mariachi that comes to play at tables if you want for $25 a song. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of shade and they have heating lamps if it's cold outside.

This place is underrated. Let me start with the attention to detail. The service was great and extremely nice. The restaurant is very clean including the restrooms. I, was very surprised there were changing tables for babies. Not many restaurants care about changing tables. Food was great. And I was assured everything was fresh (no microwave, no canned products). Only thing I would recommend, different chairs. However, not a dealbreaker.

We came here for the buffet on Saturday- day before Father's Day. They had lots and lots of food. You go around and choose what you want. They are preparing food right in front of you at the front and the back of the restaurant. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The enchiladas were made to order when I requested them and they were super delicious. We got chillaquilles, menudo and they had other foods as well. Pancakes for kids, fruit and sweets. My kids are so picky and I'm not taking them next time. They hardly ate and it is $17 per child. The ambiance feels like Mexico. Really nice and aurhentic. I'd come back again but without my kids lol.

Hidden gem. Be patient if you go there during peak or with large groups. This place feels like Mexico. Authentic food and ambience. Great decor and beautiful table settings. The kitchen is small and there is usually one server on staff. They are great though. Wife and I sneak in during non peak for a quick date in the middle of the day.

Now I have a reason to come back to Ceres California. I was just up here for the day and was hungry and found Cocina Azteca on Yelp and decided to try it. Was I amazed! I am definitely coming back when in the area again. I ordered the Taco Azteca with carne asada, beans, cheese, and sour cream and it was amazing. The steak was grilled perfectly and tender and very flavorful and the tortillas were homemade. Also had the Al Pastor taco and it was also was very delicious and filling. I would order both those items again but definitely the Taco Azteca was my favorite. After looking further into the menu, their are other dishes I definitely want to try, like the shrimp and steak dishes, as well as the breakfast brunch. Also loved that this location is right next to the freeway, easy access.

A little whole in the wall located in downtown Ceres. My friend and I came here for lunch. I had the trio fajitas and a Paloma. My friend had the street tacos. Food was amazing and authentic. Drinks were refreshing. Service was great. Felt like I was at someone's house/backyard and the tias just kept bringing out food. Overall felt very comforting and home-y. Absolutely recommend!
