Ambience and staff were great. The al pastor pork was a bit dry which was a little bit disappointing and the chimichanga wasn’t crispy as expected. Overall was a nice meal and great location but don’t think I will hurry back.

Food not as tasty as I remember. Also it’s now too expensive. We essentially paid £65 for diluted sangria and 2 burritos Won’t be coming again.

Service was awful, had to go and get are own drinks from a tray left on a shelf; staff did not know how to talk to us or ask the right questions. No one new how to work the coffee machine, food was good.

Food was incredible. So, so tasty. The service was great but it was a little disconcerting hearing the waiting staff getting told off right beside our table and also being a little snippy with some customers looking for a table. Although the person in question was very pleasant to us, I feel the experience would have been a 6 rather than a 5 had we not witnessed this.

Was a little disappointed with the quality of the food - mole sauce was very sweet, unlike any mole had before. Service was good.

The food was wonderful! Our margaritas were very weak though. I had a mango and it just tasted like mango juice with no alcohol.

Food and service were good. The starter we had of guacamole and tortilla chips seemed a bit overpriced but other than that all was very good.

We lived in Edinburgh 10 years ago and learned about VM then. We returned this week and we’re delighted to find them still open. The food was just as outstanding as always! We’ll be back before long. :)
