Colima has been a Sylva institution for years, earning devoted regulars who appreciate the friendly service and wallet-friendly prices—especially the weekday buffets and $1.25 Taco Tuesdays. However, recent visits show an inconsistent experience, with some reporting declining food quality and service issues, while others continue to have excellent meals.
