The best food I had during my entire three weeks in Scotland! I loved the quesadillas. They were seasoned and cooked perfectly and the fries on the side were 👌🏻. Would love to go back and eat here.

Great Mexican street food in the best part of Edinburgh. Various options of meats + a single veggie option which I think they could expand on a little more. It was fast and easy which is what we were looking for. Great interior design which adds to the atmosphere. I believe it’s fairly low priced considering the quality of the food which was amazing. £7 for a loaded burrito, can’t go wrong. Only reason I took a star off is because we went in two days in a row at different times and they didn’t have meat. The food itself for the price is 5/5
