Reviews
Most of the food was nice the taco was medium head and little bit hard on the shell but the quality was there
We’ve come for dinner many times in the last 12 months, used to love the old menu. The new one is very disappointing, no more guacamole, beef tacos is just watery minced beef without any flavor or spices decorated with gherkins on top. Barbecue pork is very dry, had to ask for extra sauce to make it edible. Chicken tacos were nice. Our waitress was lovely, obviously not her fault the food is so different now.
Nice Mexican taco restaurant on Leith Walk. Best to have a reservation as it’s not the biggest and can get busy. Very tasty food and a good mix of tacos, snacks and grill plates. Food was very tasty when we visited and the highlights were the pork and beef brisket grill plates which were both excellent. Service was very friendly and efficient. Will visit again for a try of their £25 per person fixe menu which looks good value.
Highly recommended! Nice food, reasonable price, beautiful service and very cozy sitting. I have been here several times and never be disappointed by any of the above elements. This definitely also be a good place for having good drinks and conversation with any types of company.
Delicious meal. Great to be able to share several small dishes. Lively atmosphere, busy on a Tuesday night which must be a good sign, but great, fast service. Lovely that it's all gluten free. Fab frozen marg too!
