The Paredes Family Restaurant

"Good food faire price"

"I had not been here. I came in expecting Mexican and was confused when the special was "chicken and dumplings". As the hostess Stephanie was taking us to our seat I asked l to see a menu to be sure I wanted to eat there, pretty reasonable request. She rudely huffed while aggressively throwing open the menu and shoving it at me saying "sure". Super unprofessional and definitely set the tone for our meal. Unfortunately the food was very bland and not impressive. I ordered the carne asada medium rare, it came well done and did not taste seasoned at all, not even salt. The shredded chicken enchiladas with ranchero sauce that came on the side were good. The Filepe's beef tacos were bland as well. And the food presentation was great. Abbie the waitress was kind and Tina found my wallet in the restroom. They are the reason for 3 stars. Overall, I honestly won't be back. But may be a great choice for those who like buffets and classic America dishes."

"I enjoyed this buffet while driving through going home after a disc golf tournament in Tyler. I really liked the family style buffet which gives you the option of chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes along with some excellent Mexican food dishes. It was relatively affordable, too. The buffet and other areas were all clean, but I did come across one bug I had to kill near my table in the back. I saw no other signs of a bigger issue. It may just be time for another pesticide treatment."

"Great family restaurant. Good items on the buffet including chicken livers. "

"Food was delicious! Thank you to the waitress that had serviced our table! The front desk attendant was a little down but she was attentive and well posted! I also saw the ganitorital lady working her way around as well keep the place well cleaned."
