Great place, good central location. Food was great, chili bowl was delicious, vegan cheese was really good as well! Staff friendly, service quick. Was happy to see intolerance information on the menu as well. Will be back to try more gluten free options!

I'm a basic burrito brother. Steak was good. Avocado was good. Need to try the vegan cheese next time. Although I'll never truly enjoy a burrito as I don't enjoy how much it resembles what comes out the other end as I put it in my mouth... I dunno maybe I need to ser my doctor or chew my food more.

The only place I go for burritos. Great staff, reasonable prices, dangerously convenient for a lunch stop off, some good local beers. I recommend repeat visits to fine tune your perfect burrito options! Also I have never had to wait long, even during a busy lunchtime while parked riskily... Edit: still awesome

Delicious, you can go hard on pepper sauces, there are not that spicy and they are super tasty. Price looks odd for a "cheap" place but you will get a lot of food, you can share almost everything in the menu if you are not starving. Food arrived really quick too.

I’ve eaten a lot of burritos but there is something about the ones at Illegal Jack’s that just make them taste better. Great range of filling and they are put together well, none of that loose roll business here!

I've been to many places for burritos in Edinburgh over the last 6 years, but Jack's continues to be by far the best quality, freshest, tastiest food. If the thing you care about the most is eating the best burrito, go here. Half/half Chicken / Haggis is so good!

Chili is excellent! Would recommend getting an extra side of nachos to finish it off nicely as a meal. Atmosphere of the place was great, staff were super friendly, and everything was super clean.

Me and my guy are big fans of this place. Both gutted it closed at its old location on Lothian Road, and very happy when it returned (he donated to their Kickstarter- that's love!). It's not as big as it was before, but still plays great music and serves amazing food. Order at the counter to take away or sit in, and they'll bring it when ready. Haggis burrito is quite a tasty novelty (there's a vegetarian version as well). There's a fair bit of customisation available- pick your beans, jalapeños or no, guacamole is extra.

I eat here quite regularly and its hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. It sounds bizarre on paper, but the haggis burrito is great and ends up being a perfect platform for hot sauce (provided free of charge, including several brand names as well as constantly changing inhouse concoctions) and the other fillings. Good for a quick, filling lunch for under £10.
