La Casa Mexicana (Elgin St)
A light rain greeted us on Wednesday October 21, 2009 as we made our way to La Casa Mexicana on Elgin Street in Sudbury, Ontario
In spite of the fact that the building looks so small on the outside, the inside was much more spacious than expected.
We arrived in two groups and the waitress took good care of us. We were the only diners at that hour (5:00 pm) but several more came soon enough.
The washroom (only one) was tiny but spotless.
Not being that familiar with "true" Mexican food it took us a while to decide what we wanted.
There were no options for the little guy (this restaurant really needs a "small person" menu soon) but we muddled through.
The food was quite tasty and the portions overly large.
The waitresses were attentive and friendly but very slow since they were so busy. Half of our party left before they came with our bill.
The decor was quite bright and reflected a Mexican atmosphere. The music too seemed to be of Mexican origin.
The cost was a little high at $120.93 before tip and taxes for 4 adults and two children including the cost of one beer.

Kings Buffet - Sudbury, Ontario
<>
What a wonderful evening at the Kings Buffet in Sudbury. This place just keeps on getting better and better.
It was a cool and rainy October evening when we arrived at Kings Buffet.
Several times prior, we had been here and we absolutely love the food.
The decor is not anything special being more modern than anything. The chairs are alright but not designed for long-term seating and there seem to be a lot of people shoved into the available space.
But the food - it just keeps on improving. Enough variety to satisfy most tastes. Everything from Roast Beef to Sushi with all the normal "chinese" food that you would find in any similar restaurant. So many things to sample. They even had some pizza. Unbelievable.
Our reservations were for 8 people at 5:00 pm on a Wednesday and we were wise to make them since the place rapidly filled up.
Our waitress, though friendly, seemed to be over-worked. She made it to our table enough times to satisfy our needs but was always in a hurry. We never felt rushed ourselves so it was of little consequence.
At the inner doors to the restaurant, there is an ominous sign posted which reads WE HAVE CAMERAS - IF YOU LEAVE WITHOUT PAYING YOUR PHOTO WILL BE POSTED ON THE WALL. Of course, when we left, we perused the wall but saw no photos there. Either Sudbury is full of honest people or the sign really works.
Our count was 3 Seniors, 3 Adults, 1 child and 1 toddler for a total of 8 persons. With 1 alcoholic drink our bill came to $146.03 (before tip).
A great place to eat at a reasonable price - recommended
