What he didn't love
- Says nothing looks new ('Nuevo') about the place: wood paneling coming off the walls. 00:54
- Almost nothing is labeled, so he makes up names. 01:07
Also noticed
- A decently sized buffet, probably slightly above average. 00:17
- Spots a Mexican influence: a big bottle of Valentina next to the Sriracha. 00:45
- So much steam the whole buffet looks like it's on fire. 03:59
