Amigos Mexican Buffet; Longview, TX; 2511 Judson Rd, Longview, TX‎ – (903) 758-0081

Can I just say, “Amigos–YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!”

I blogged about Amigos once before when I went to the restaurant with my father, and I sung its praises that time, too. Now here, about a year and a half later, it’s the same story. Amigos is an all-you-can-eat Mexican-food buffet in Longview, TX.

Now when you hear the word ”buffet”–and if you were born and raised or have lived here in East Texas for some time–you may automatically think “gross“. Or you may think, “buffets may be a good value sometimes, but the food isn’t all that great.” This is only halfway true in the case of Amigos Mexican Buffet in Longview because Amigos’ prices are not outrageous, and the food that Amigos offers genuinely tastes really good. It seems to be of a higher quality and taste more satisfying than other buffets in the Longview and East Texas area. While the Mexican food that Amigos offers may not be 100% “authentic”, it seems to be a bit more authentic than many other “Tex Mex” places that one finds in East Texas. Also, the variety of different kinds of Mexican food that Amigos offers allow hungry customers to pick and choose specific Mexican dishes that they prefer over other dishes; or if you’re like me, enjoy ”a little of everything”! The restaurant offers chimichangas, tacos, nachos, cactus, sopapillas, mixed vegetables, taco salad, quesadillas, pork, guacamole, taquitos, soft tacos, fixings for fajitas, and much, much more!

Furthermore, very briefly, the servers are very nice and they “take good care of you” as a customer; and the restaurant’s environment is inviting and fun, with its painted walls and Mexican-style decor.

I simply cannot wait to visit this restaurant again with some of my friends, so that we can share some fun times at an affordable buffet, with quality and tasty food in a fun and welcoming environment!

Last time I blogged about Amigos I wasn’t 100% sure, but having enjoyed aother meal there, I am now 100% sure–Amigo’s Mexican Buffet is officially my favorite restaurant in Longview, TX.

The restaurant is located at 2511 Judson Rd in Longview, TX; in a little center of businesses up off of the road, sort of situated in the corner of the stores.

Academy Sports & Outdoors; Longview, TX; 445 Forest Square, Longview, TX 75605.

Before there was an Academy built in Tyler, I remember taking trips to Longview just to go to Academy when I was a kid. Whenever we needed to do serious shopping for hunting, or sports, or paintball or airsoft equipment, we would pile in and drive 40 minutes to Academy.

It was always a great experience. It had everything we needed and more. We would take any excuse we could come up with to “have to go” to Academy. Unexpectedly good, not just fair, prices always made us happy, and we would always end up just looking around with our mouths watering for longer than scheduled. It’s like a playground of sporting goods.

One thing I particularly like about Academy is its selection of knives; pocket knives or hunting knives, at those good prices I mentioned earlier. More than one in my proud arsenal is an Academy knife.

Gerald’s Social Club; Longview, TX; 106 E Tyler St

Gerald’s is a very laid back bar from what I had a chance to experience with my friends. I personally don’t attend a lot of bars or any place with that sort of atmosphere often, but it’s good to go to a place like that every once in a while just to experience it and see how you feel about it in person.

The selection of drinks is more than adequate considering how small of an establishment it really is. It can get a little pricey if you order a few drinks. I know that’s typical for many bars. The setup makes the bar worth visiting. It has sort of a mellow nightclub feel. My friends and I went there late one night just for the heck of it because we had nothing else to do. As it turned out, we actually had a lot of fun there. Being such a small establishment really has its benefits. More often than not, they are packed to capacity. The music was good, the service was quick, and there were not any complaints from my friends or myself as far as anything at the bar was concerned.

The only thing I wish was different was that they would stay open just a little later. I think they closed at a pretty early hour the night we went, but then again I think we did go during the week as opposed to the weekend. A very relaxing place to take a friend or two and have a drink, Gerald’s gets an 8 out of 10 for my first visit. I give it an 8 because all businesses have room for improvement. That is not to say that my experience there was not the best it could’ve been for a first visit. I will be visiting Gerald’s very soon in Longview, Texas and I hope you will too.

Amigos Mexican Buffet; Longview, TX; 2511 Judson Rd, Longview, TX‎ – (903) 758-0081

Amigos Mexican Buffet in Longview, TX is simply amazing for so many reasons!
I don’t know if this is the only such Mexican buffet that is around—but I don’t care! If you enjoy Mexican food, you need to go here. I remember going with my father one time, and the atmosphere, quality of food, layout of the restaurant, and service were all superb!

Pile on the Mexican food as much as you want, for a reasonable price. In addition to simply Mexican food, Amigos offers Tex-Mex, as well as American food in its buffet. There’s no need to go to another restaurant and carefully plan “whether I want a tortilla, or fajitas, or tamales or queso” or whatever else! At Amigos, you can get as much as you want of any mixture of any of these foods!

And not only is the offering impressive, but the food tastes very good—I simply didn’t want to stop eating because it all tasted so good! The same went for our party that was there that night!

Amigos Mexican Buffet is definitely one of my—if not my number 1 favorite—place to eat in Longview. The restaurant is located at 2511 Judson Rd in Longview, TX; in a little center of businesses up off of the road, sort of situated in the corner of the stores.

Hollywood Theaters; Longview, TX; 3070 North Eastman Road 75605 – (903) 663-3456

As a college student for the past few years, it was always a treat for my friends and I to head over to Hollywood Theaters in Longview, TX for movies.

Hollywood Theaters boasts a very nice front lobby with plenty of graphics and advertisements for new movies, as well as a full-service snack bar packed with popcorn, cokes, candy, and more. Hollywood offers comfortable seating, and reasonable ticket prices as well.

When another nearby movie theaters in other cities did not offer a movie, we could always count on Hollywood Theaters on Longview to have the newest movies we wanted to go see!

The restaurant is located at 440 3070 Eastman Road in Longview, TX; behind Buffalo Wild Wings and Cheddar’s.

China King; Longview, TX; 440 W Loop 281, Longview, TX‎ – (903) 757-8883

China King in Longview, TX scratches many of the itches I’ve got with some of the other Chinese buffets in the East Texas area.

First of all, the cost of a meal at China King was a little bit cheaper than some of the others in the area, but without sacrificing the quality of the food. Offering a fairly standard spread of Chinese buffet food along with a few extras such as Mexican food, American food, and sushi, China King’s varieties combine for a wonderful dining experience.

The atmosphere and ambiance in the restaurant is of an Eastern Asian décor, and has a great visual appeal to the eyes, whether you eat with your family and friends, or by yourself. The hosts and waiters at China King do a wonderful job of meeting the customers’ needs, and sometimes wear Oriental-styled clothing. Like most Chinese buffets, China King provides chopsticks for visitors that would like to eat with chopsticks.

As stated above, the quality of the food along with its slightly cheaper price has won my pick as a great place to eat in Longview, TX. The restaurant is located at 440 W Loop 281 in Longview, TX; next to the BestBuy and Books-a-Million shopping center.
