No idea, was going to go there for our anniversary, but the line of traffic waiting to get off at the exit was unreal. |

Santa Ana has the largest and best buffett selection of any I've visited.
Isleta features Crab Legs on Fridays, very good but the line and the wait gets long unless you get there by opening time, i.e., 4:30pm. Try to get there by 4:15pm or earlier and you will have an enjoyable crab-leg event.
From Albuq, try Broadway instead of I-25, and avoid the madcap drive home traffic. |

I have been to all the casino buffets in the ABQ area and would put them in this order (best to worst):
Route 66
Santa Ana
Isleta
Sandia
If you are at Sandia, try their 24 hr cafe/restaurant. The food there is good. The buffet, meh.

We went to Santa Ana a few weeks ago... thought it was fair, nothing spectacular. We went to Sandia after Thanksgiving and thought it was the better of the two. A much larger selection than Santa Ana & better food - we went on BBQ night. I won't completely knock SA until we've tried it a couple more times... could have been an off night for them.

I am not a great lover of buffets, but Sandia followed by Santa Ana gets my vote with Isleta being at the bottom!!!! Route 66 is hit or miss.:
