I lived in the US for many years and have been to Mexico many times. I LOVE TexMex (which this is) and Mexican (which it definitely is not) food so was very surprised that (at the time of writing) this was the #1 "Mexican" restaurant on Tripadvisor in ALL of London (and that too in Edmonton!), so had somewhat high...

At first I was a bit apprehensive about going to this place, however I couldn't have been proved more wrong.Being number 8 on trip advisor but in 'Edmonton,' I really wasn't sure what to expect.

10 of us went to the restaurant for a meal. The greeting was fantastic with all staff friendly and welcoming. They were always at your assistance immediately if needed.
