Answer: In a word, too expensive. The food is creative and fun, but it's not at a price point that most of the people who would be interested in this place are at. Their chips and salsa is pure highway robbery too. They charge $5.75 for it and must make about $4.00 per order. My burrito (the Sheh-Meh-Neh) was actually pretty good, but there was something in it that tasted off. It could have just been that one burrito, but I couldn't finish it---and that's not because it's a decent-sized burrito. I ended up spending close to $16 on a burrito and chips, and I admit that the shock I felt then (I didn't realize the chips were so expensive) is infecting this review. It may, in fact, be "New Mexican Food" but it's priced for the Nouveau Riche. I would try other items on their menu, but I would much rather spend $10 elsewhere. Perhaps some night when I'm hammered and money is flowing out of my pocket as fast as alcohol is pouring into my liver. Until then, Adios.

Answer: I just went there with my sister Boney this past Sunday. Food was AWESOME and so was our waiter. There wasn't a huge selection like other buffets but it's quality over quantity. The tables were also awfully close to each other as well. They could easily use another foot's distance between one another. The low rating is because of the way we were treated by their hostess Eva. Because of her we had a really really bad start to our meal and were debating if we should just dine somewhere else instead. Considering she's the first person patrons see at the restaurant, she shouldn't be rude and unwelcoming. We had reservations for 3 at noon and were COMPLETELY ignored until a little after 12:35-talk about crappy service huh. My sister arrived a few minutes before me and told me the hostess was extremely snooty. There were very few people in the waiting area at first and Eva offered champagne to all of them EXCEPT my sister. She made it obvious too since she offered it to the person in front of my sis, then skipped sis, then offered to the person after. You hussy! U can't treat my sissy that way! After we were all waiting a good 30 minutes which is completely absurd I walked up to the hostess's podium (she saw me, considering i'm 2 feet away directly in front of her) but she completely turned around and walked the other way. wat the heck?!?! Boner saw and stopped her as she was about to walk pass him . he had to point in my direction to point out to her i was waiting at the podium. well she never bothered to walk back to me but instead glanced at me then asked him what he wanted. so i had to walk back to where SHE was to remind her that our reservations were for 12 and it is now 12:35. she replies flatly "did you check in with me?" , uh "yes we did at 12" you evil lady. so we had to give her our name and tell her how many of us again.she offers no apology whatsoever and tells us to "stand over there" instead where we continue to wait again. we were finally seated later but come on, what's the point of making reservations if you're going to be stuck waiting anyway. and if the hostess makes a mistake and completely forgets about you while she lets all the people who came in after you head in, shouldn't she at least offer a simple apology?? The waiting area is pretty small and we were waitng the whole time within site of the hostess. SHE KNEW WE WERE WAITING. If she were doing her job it might have crossed her mind that "hey, how come these nice folks are still waiting when i've let everybody who comes in after them go in already". The steakhouse should replace her unless they want a stuck-up and innept hostess greeting their patrons. Oh yeah, it was our first time and obviously we were not impressed with the way we were treated and to top it off it was my Birthday too. =( I initially gave this place 4 stars but now as i write my review i'm so upset and pissed again that i'm docking off 2 stars due to my incident with Evil Eva.

Answer:
Family Style This was our convention group dinner. They closed the restaurant to accommodate over 200 of us. The restaurant is on the second floor of the masquerade tower at the Rio Hotel. It over looks the swimming pool. It has a nice long bar They had 3 TV in the main dining area, two of which was playing Godfather II, Sweet. Music playing and disco lights on. A really nice place to have dinner. Here's the rundown: The Best Meatball & Salad "Signature Martorano Meatball" I have to say, the meatballs are really good. It was serve with ricotta which made it taste better. The salad it came with was just okay. Fried Calamari w/ Sweet & Spicy Chili Sauce This dish was my favorite of the night. Nice size calamari. Perfectly fried. That sweet & spicy chili sauce was dynamite. So good. Thinly sliced Serrano chili rounded this dish nicely Fried Mozzarella Stack "Tomatoes, Prosciutto di Parma, Aged Balsamic Vinegar & Extra Virgin Olive Oil" This was another winner. A thick piece fried nicely and tasted great with the prosciutto and balsamic vinegar. Yum!! Rigatoni Pollo "Diced Chicken Cutlet, Hot & Sweet Peopers, San Marzano Tomatoes & Reggiano Parmesan Cheese" the rigorous was a bit too Al dente for me. The taste was good, just not pasta part for me. Chilean Seabass Scampi Style w/ White Wine, Garlic Butter, Peas & Cherry Tomatoes. The Seabass was just so buttery, melt in your mouth delicious. The white wine sauce complimented this dish Chicken Downtown "Chicken Cutlet, Ricotta Cheese, Spinach, Mushrooms, Vine Ripe Tomatoes & Fresh Mozzarella" a nice well rounded dish. Crunch from the chicken cutlet and a very flavorful sauce. Red Velvet Cake. The cake was very moist with a cream cheese frosting. A nice way to finish our meal. The service was excellent. Sparkling mineral water was refilled constantly. Plates cleared efficiently. Dishes explained as they are served. What an Italian feast!! Family Style!!
