Great Tacos with sweet potato , delicious banana chips and lovely mexican Beer . Maybe the best mexican food i ever had!
Favourite restaurant in Edinburgh, really cool, great food. Bombers and guacamole are the best I've had. They don't take bookings so be prepared to wait in the pub over the road for a table.
Best Mexican food in town ! Be prepared to wait for a table, but the funky, street food vibe is worth it. Margaritas are fab. Wait across the road for a table. Once you get in, have the shrimp tacos !!

Best Mexican in town . Bit of a British twist on some of them (lamb and mint ). And the cocktails are overly expensive but you can bring drinks over from Bon vivant opposite.
Everything was good and tasty here! A fan-tas-tic mexican taco restaurant . We’ll definately be back!
Great service and great mexican food ! Loved the salmon ceviche and the pork taco ! Fair price
The best ribs I have ever had. Meat was falling off the bone and just delicious.
Great quesadilla & sweet potato taco ???? Average chicken wings & steak taco
Quesadillas were unique and tasty. All the food was a little more pricey than expected and I’d shy away from the margarita considering the price.
Amazing, handmade , super-fresh Mexican. Very good veggie options and great tequila selection if that's your thing.
El carne taco was amazing ????????
amazing tacos ???? and guacamole ???? thanks for spasian for his recommendation ????????????
Fish Tacos are the best :) Staff are really friendly highly recommend.

Street corn , guacamole with plantain chips , good choice of margaritas .
Order the Al Pastor and Guac and whatever tacos they have on special.

Great service & good value for money , delish sweet potato tacos

Miniature portions. Spent £20 and left hungry. Food quality is great, though.

The quesadillas and pork shoulder rocks!

Amazing Mexican tapas .
Great tacos . Reservation is a must though otherwise wait for a table across the street at bon vivant with a cocktail and they will come over when it's ready.
Guacamole with banana chips
Fish Tacos & Slaw
The food is good, the staff friendly but overpriced ????
Totally overrated.
The sweet potato quesadillas were delicious - a must! Good value . Margaritas a must.
Carnitas de pato , carne asada y cochinita
Paráda! Škoda, že jsme toho nesnědli víc! ????????????????
Great small portions meals to try as much as you want. Friendly staff, and great music! - Wadha AKA Wodi The Legend
Good food, reasonable price, very friendly staff. Be careful, some food can be really spicy:p, will come back:) - Godon Aurélien
Busy fun & great for kids - pricey for food quality & skip desserts, very poor & a rip off! - Kieran Smith
Quiet setting, with superb cocktails and knowledgeable, passionate staff. Candles on every table add to the ambience. Great spot on its own or for waiting for a table across the street at el cartel. - Adam M
Great selection of beers to pick from, top atmosphere, just off the tourist trail. - Simon Lant
