One excited diner, Je Se, shared their experience with the 'Casado Baño Maria' buffet, highlighting the delightful choice of five dishes.

“ The most important main dish was great and the restaurant environment was good. The side dishes were average and so called Strawberry Cheesecake tasted more like Pudding. Also would be helpful to have a English menu even if it is printed on paper. ”
“ This place is great in many ways! They have not only tasty seafood, but many other food selections to satisfy your yearning appetite as well. I had the 'buffet' (Casado Baño Maria) which had everything with multitudes of different foods: hot and cold. At this 'buffet,' you are allowed 5 choices, so opted for the chicken cordon bleu topped with a motherload of mushrooms, as the main course. Then, black beans, broccoli+cauliflower+carrot mix, roasted potato+carrots, and a cucumber+tomato+lettuce slaw, all together for my 5 selections. Mmmmm, magnificent! I just dug right in and enjoyed. They also include a fountain drink like ice tea or in this case, passion fruit juice (pictured). They will alternate the selections, so you never know what temptations may await you. Then afterwards for my coffee treat, I had a Cappachino with bailey's Irish cream. More excellence after a great and filling meal; so rich and tasty. This is the place to go not only for super great food, but the same in service too! The entire staff work hard and quickly to get your order on its way and onto your table for you to enjoy. ”
