Mexican Buffet & Grill-- Mongolian No More, or is it?

I used to be a big fan of this place's predecessor, Oriental Buffet & Grill/Mongolian Barbecue, in the Wal-Mart Center in the 7200 block of S. US 31-- The old place had all kinds of food, not just Asian, and my wife especially liked the crab legs, which were as good and cheaper than most seafood restaurants'.  Imagine my horror, then, when I drove by the other day and saw that "Oriental" had been replaced by "Mexican" in the name on the sign.  A few guys in my office coincidentally went there the other day and were likewise shocked by the recent conversion, but they ate there anyway and were quite pleasantly surprised, especially this one pragmatic (see "cheapskate") individual who was ecstatic about the value for the money spent, something like $6.99 for the lunch buffet. 

With that glowing review, we just had to go and see for ourselves, the Little Woman being a big fan of Mexican food.  As we entered we were greeted by the same Asian hostess that had seated us when it was Oriental, and many of the servers were the same folks from the old place as well, including several Hispanic employees.  Some of the food on the buffets (the food bars are still huge) were suspiciously similar to the previous establishment's, too:   Their "Chile Lime Chicken"  looked and tasted very similar to General Tso's, and the "Burrito and Asada Barbecue" appeared to have the same meats as the old Mongolian Barbecue, minus the bean sprouts and water chestnuts.  Hmmm, I had a professor once that said that native Mexican peoples were descended from ancient Asians who crossed into North America eons ago when there was still a land connection between the two continents....   Could this be the source of the mysterious similarities between the old and the new, here?  Is that perhaps why you often see large numbers of Latinos gathered at the local Chinese buffets?  Or is it just because both cuisines are cheap and plentiful?.... You decide!  Anyway, the food was decent but not outstanding in my opinion, but I'm not the connoisseur of Mexican food my wife is--  Heck, I was IN Mexico for 26 days once, and when I got back I swore I would never again eat any RED or GREEN food ever again, but of course that wore off, eventually.  The Divine Mrs. Barfly reeeeally liked the taco bar they had there as well as the Burrito & Asada Barbecue, so who am I to disagree?  You certainly won't mistake this place with a nouvelle cuisine restaurant--  The decor is showing its age even with the added Mexican touches, but there's plenty of food for your dollar, for sure.
