We were walking by and thought let’s try some Tacos, It was overpriced and sloppy tacos too much liquid in the tacos to really enjoy it, bland like the service from the waitress. Didn’t even take a pic. As it was a let down on presentation.

The tacos at this place are excellent! We spend three weeks a year in Mexico and if I closed my eyes, the food and atmosphere here transports you to a good taco place in Mexico. It is cash only. But there is an ATM across the street for your convenience. We hope to return before we leave Edinburgh!
