La Nacional Mexican Buffet - Columbus

It is no longer a buffet. You select your food cafeteria style and pay per pound. Friendly staff.

I usually don't leave reviews for restaurants, but I felt compelled to share my experience here! This place is amazing and genuinely authentic! Without a doubt, it's the best food I've had in Columbus—you could easily eat here every day. The prices are fantastic; initially, I was a bit skeptical after reading comments about an all-you-can-eat option for under $10, which seemed too good to be true. However, it's even better! It's about $5 per pound, so you can take home anything you don’t finish. I ended up making three meals for around $10! The restaurant is roughly an hour's walk from my hotel, and it’s definitely worth the trek! The tacos are incredible, made exactly how you like them, and the fajitas and taquitos are outstanding. The chicken is so tender it falls right off the bone! You can really taste the care that goes into the food. I would give this restaurant a perfect score of 100 out of 10 stars—it's the best Mexican restaurant east of Texas!

Absolutely don’t miss this place! Stop by and prepare yourself for fantastic food and excellent service. We’re from out of town, but I’ll definitely return here! Try as much as you can because everything is so delicious. It’s not your typical self-serve buffet; you simply point, and they bring it to you!

The food is incredibly delicious, but it's priced by the pound. My military friends and I absolutely loved it!

The food was truly amazing. I'm not sure if it was the tortillas or something else, but the quesadilla might just be the best I've ever had. The chicken and steak fajita mix was also outstanding. While I can't comment on the entire drink selection, I did try the sweet tea and was pleasantly surprised by its quality. At just $12.41 for the dinner buffet and sweet tea, it offers great value. I highly recommend giving it a try!
