If you found this review useful, please click the thank button.As competition for visitor dollars has heated up between local casinos in recent years, one of the most-popular ways the Indian-run gaming venues have built customer loyalty is their all-you-can-eat buffets. The only cons are that Viejas is a relatively long drive from San Diego and you have to contend with walking through a smoky casino to get to the buffet. This was after we'd already eaten some desserts, so it was unfortunate we couldn't eat much more and wished we could have taken them home instead of wasting some. They were also kind enough to bring a plate of birthday desserts (With 'Happy Birthday' swirled on the plate) for the 2 birthdays in our party. The waitress was slightly stern, but drinks were brought and plates cleared in a timely manner. We wish we could have eaten so much more, but we were so full! There are different stations for appetizers, salad, sushi/Asian, pasta, pizza, lasagne, crab legs, meat carving station, cooked veg, meatloaf, ice-cream with toppings and numerous desserts including pies, crumbles, doughnuts and mini-cup desserts. The buffet itself and the seating area is spacious and decorated in a contemporary style. We thought it was a pretty good value as there was a lot of variety of food and it was of decent quality. Our party had bubbly wine and a beer, water, tea and coffee. Alcohol and drinks are included, which is nice. We paid full price (A discount is available if you sign up for the Viejas club card). It was quite busy with lots of families and large. We did make a reservation on-line since it was for a special occasion.
