I met two friends here for lunch. We were seated promptly and brought beverages. Wait staff was very friendly. I got the steak fajitas and they were sizzling hot and very good. The meat was very tender and full of flavor. I would recommend to anyone in the area.

Wonderful veggie fajitas- Hugh carrots, broccoli, grilled. cauliflower, onions, peppers, zucchini. YUM! Choice of wheat or corn tortillas, wiith rice, very good beans, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole. I took home leftovers. My husband had a Super Burrito with chicken. Lots and lots of chicken. He loved it. Service was great. Inside and outside dining. We will be back.

This would be a five-star rating, however they charge you a 3% charge no matter what, you could be alone or with a group, credit card or no credit card cash only, you still get charged 3% convenience fee or the like. You don't know this until you're checking out, the food was excellent, but that little charge stopped a five-star rating.

I came here on a Tuesday with some friends. The ambiance was really nice and spacious. Service was fast and friendly. There was a 5 tacos for $7 deal, as the tacos were already huge compared to other places. They were so delicious! I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who craves Mexican food in the Westbank area.

Overall, probably the best place to get Mexican food on the Westbank. This place is the best in food, service, and a great vibe. The drinks from the bar are usually on point and this big new location is better for accommodating the larger crowds.
