If you were happy with the place and they have plenty of other customers that are happy is good but for the distance that most guys would have to travel I would bet that they would be disappointed.
Churrascaria is no where near the quality or price of Ruth Chris.

That being said I wouldn't call the quality poor. They oftentimes would have a line of people going out the door and and a 45 minute wait to get thru the line and to get a table. If the quality was poor I doubt they would have that many customers.
If course an expensive steak house like churrascaria un Mexico or Ruth Chris Steakhouse in the US will have better quality steaks but also have higher prices too.
If you want a decent place to eat as much as you can of decent quality food for about $12 to $15 usd then Sirloin Stockade fits the bill.

It's been a few years since I've been there so prices may have changed but I used to always get the 12 oz Ribeye steak and baked potato with salad bar / buffet for 288 pesos. The steak was decent but they tend to over cook it so order it down for example if you want well dine order it 3/4 and if you want it medium well order it medio, etc. Or just order it medio and you can't go wrong LOL. Make sure you say papa al horno If you want the baked potato otherwise they give you French fries which is a waste because you can get fries on the buffet next to the burgers. The baked potato comes hot and wrapped in foil with a slit at the top and filled with sour cream and bacon bits and cheese.
As for the buffet picture an Old Country Buffet or Hometown Buffet if you have ever been to one of those. I the middle they have an extensive salad bar with different types of romaine iceberg spinach and different lettuces with all the toppings you could think of, broccoli, garbanzo, baby corn, red onion cherry tomatoes, etc with like 8 different salad dressings. They also have coles slaw, raisin carrot salad, potato salad and fresh fruits and a ceviche and tostadas are.
Then they have like 3 different soups, I always enjoyed the frijoles carros. There's Also a taco bar with like 4 different kinds of meats to choose from and crispy taco shells or soft tortillas and shredded lettuce cheese sour cream onion and salsa etc. To the right side of the taco bar is the burgers and fries area and on certain days they have pork ribs there instead of the burgers (I think on Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Then on the main buffet bar they have American and Mexican Classics such as grilled chicken, lasagna, chilaquiles, Lomo de cerdo carved in front of you with gravy and mashed potatoes, corn on the COB, sometimes there was Buffalo wings and bbq wings there as well.
Over by the soups they also had an oriental section with Tijuana style sushi (by this I mean rice, cream cheese, imitation crab meat) rolls, fried rice, and several Chinese style dishes such as General Tsaos Chicken and broccoli beef.
And last but not least there is a desert buffet with ice cream and cookies and carrot cake, and choco flan, etc. And they make crepes at a little stand alone crepe stand too.
Excellent place to go stuff your belly for $15. I used to go there and eat until I couldn't eat anymore. Then I'd go across the street and walk around the swap meet to burn some of the calories.
If you like Sizzler or Hometown Buffet, you will love Sirloin Stockade.

Can anyone recall all the taco options at the HK taco stand? I just want to try some tacos other than asada or pastor.

Even there homemade ketchup (and I don't like ketchup) is terrific.

Some people just think that because it's more that it's better.

Posts: 2569It is a bit of a mystery why Mexico needs to import beef for quality steaks. But I suppose that is Mexico for you.

Posts: 2569Decided to have lunch at El Charussco today. The was okay, but not great. I was disappointed by the service. The meat servers were ignoring so had to complain to the manager. The buffet bar was good. I have been there several times and this will be my last.
