All great, quality of chicken could be better. A veggie haggis main would be an additional improvement.

I thought the staff were exceptional and so was the service. However, I felt the food was a little bland and there wasn't a great choice of dishes

This is a lovely Mexican restaurant with ample seating and a great deal of choice. Me and my partner had nachos for starters and fajitas for main. The nachos were great as was the fajitas. Only minor complaint is that the wraps were a little smaller than usual.

Wait staff could have been more attentive. One server seemed to have insufficient English to cope with questions regarding allergy risk ingredients, and still gave vague responses after we had all referred to the allergy menu together. This did not inspire confidence. Food was excellent and portions very large (perhaps too large?)

We make it a point to eat here whenever we are in Edinburgh. It is a slice of Mexico in Scotland. Food is excellent, service was good and the whole place has a lovely feel about it. Would highly recommend if you are looking for excellent Mexican food.

We had a delicious meal, all freshly prepared. The service was exemplary. Food arrived promptly. The mohito cocktail was delicious. It was my brother’s first meal in a proper Mexican restaurant and he loved it. Definitely a family favourite and we hope to be back very soon.

Food and atmosphere was lovely!! Big portions and we made the mistake of ordering a starter PLUS a main but was too full to finish our delicious main meals. Staff were friendly and attentive and overall a lovely evening meal out.

The restaurant was beautiful decorated so nicely The food was great and authentic However what let them down was the service Had to ask for everything and chase the servers for food and drinks One waitress in particular was very rude and kept reaching over us to grab glasses and jugs with not mention of warning or asking if we were done with them Left no tip as a result of the poor service and she was not happy about it, after what I would call passive aggressive service she became actively hostile and made us feel even more unwelcome Wouldn’t go back.
