100 Buffet Pensacola coming to Navy Boulevard with fresh, all-you-can-eat Asian dishes
A new all-you-can-eat Asian buffet is coming soon to 19 N. Navy Blvd., called 100 Buffet Pensacola, with plans to offer West Pensacola a variety of fresh Asian dishes.
“From classic Asian dishes to fresh seafood and sushi, 100 Buffet is the spot to pile your plate high and keep coming back for more,” 100 Buffet shared in a social media post on their business profile.
The buffet will replace the former Egg N Eggs breakfast restaurant, converted from a former IHOP, which has since closed. 100 Buffet comes to the community shortly after Pensacola’s Asia Buffet opened in West Pensacola in August at 4238 W. Fairfield Drive.

Taco Rock 29 owner says car dealer harassment over FPL property disrupting business
Mainor Diaz has been serving tacos, nachos and other Mexican dishes from his restaurant Taco Rock 29 on Highway 29 in Pensacola’s Car City for more than 30 years.
He says there’s nothing he enjoys more than feeding the community he has called home for so long and the family-run restaurant makes it a priority to keep customers coming back for the food and friendly faces.
“We’re just here to make tacos and make you happy,” said chef and family member Odette Ramirez. “I tell my customers if you come to Taco Rock depressed you will not leave depressed, because we love them.”
A growing feud with his new neighbors renting the property next door, however, has put that happiness in jeopardy.
