Had the nicest meal at El Castillo Mexican bar and Grill! Although It was a quiet Sunday night, the speediness of the drinks and food arriving was great! There is a good range of food choices on the menu, and the drinks menu was the same. My mum and I shared a chicken enchilada, and the mushroom fajitas. Both were absolutely delicious! Our waitress Archana was lovely! She was really friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Would absolutely recommend this place for a lovely meal out! The decor is also really gorgeous. A mix chic Mexican vibes.

We have been in Edinburgh for a week now and this by far the best place we have found to eat!

This was a great choice for me. It was a Saturday afternoon and this place was so quiet. I was the only diner at 12.30. I had the chilli con carne and it was a generous portion. The lady that served me was very pleasant. I was nicely full and by the time I left there were a few people had come in. Nice place right on Newhaven harbour and you can go for a good circular walk after or before.
