After my parents and I moved to AR, I started going back to this buffet almost each time I visit CA. October 1999 back then, the buffet and casino was much smaller, and was inside pink circus tents. My first visit to this buffet was in 1991 (I was a seven-year-old at that time) when I used to live in CA. I usually visit this buffet almost once a year because I love the huge variety and value of this buffet. Mexican Restaurants for Lunch in Lakeside.
