My go to Mexican for years but why oh why did you get rid of the salsa verde and the chicken taquitos? The corn on the cob and the Caesar salad were also my faves. Literally all of my favourite dishes are gone. The menu before was perfect, It didn’t need to be changed!

Lovely spot on Lothian Road. Definitely worth a stop by. Service from Rosie and the margarita made by Tom was perfect.
