One of the best Mexican restaurants in Edinburgh! The place is huge and incredibly well presented. We went on a week night but I imagine it quickly fills up on the weekends. The service was so fast and our waitress was very friendly. The portion sizes were perfect and the cocktails were delicious! I’d definitely recommend ordering the bombers, pulled pork tacos and the sweet potato quesadilla :)

We really enjoyed our meal here and left satisfied. The hike up the stairs to the restaurant, if you come from that direction, was tiring but worth it. Most everything comes out in 2's, which made it perfect for my husband and I to share (except the jalapeno cheese balls, which had 3). We started right away with street corn, which was great. We tried 4 different tacos. They all had amazing flavors, with the perfect fresh toppings to accent each one. We also selected from their ample margaritas menu. They were good, but a little smaller than we were used to. Lastly, the place has a great view, due to being in a hill overlooking Waverly Station. All in all, we definitely recommend it!

Great Mexican restaurant overlooking views of Edinburgh incl. Princes Stret Gardens, Waverley and the Scott Monument. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff with excellent food and drink selections amd snappy decor. Well worth a visit 🇲🇽

Food. Amazing Service. So kind (thank you Katie you made me feel very comfortable as a solo woman traveling with anxiety) Ambiance. Love the decoration, the music. I removed one star because they did forget one of serving I ordered but everything else make it up for it. ESPECIALLY the cocktails they are OUT OF THIS WORLD!!

We ate here as our last night in edinburgh. The atmosphere and views were amazing! The service at other tables was on point, but our waitress we didn't see very often. We asked other waiters as they were going by for assistance. The food was great! We had the steak, chicken, and cod tacos! They were all delicious!

Fantastic venue, much larger than previous site but very open planned and it’s lovely inside. Staff super friendly Food is beyond explanation or freshness and taste, large mezcal menu and the variety is insane with a nice breakdown of terminology at the back of the book, drinks are very friendly to drinkers and non-drinkers. Will always return.

Really good ambience and food. We ordered 3 different tacos, including a vegetarian option, and they all turned out to be really flavourful! Good music and staff too.

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Portions are bigger than I expected so perhaps go for less and order more if needed. Delicious though. Margaritas were fantastic.

Enjoyed it! Service was a bit patchy... our group arrived separately in twos so we were told they'd come back to explain the menu when everyone was seated and seemed to forget. Food was quite tasty - could have had a bit more of a kick for authenticity but the flavours were good. Drinks good but cocktails were quite small. Service again patchy after we finished eating. On the whole would recommend!

Lovely lunch - guacamole tacos & ribs. Nice attentive service (thanks Freya) with freshly made food. We were in at opening so it was a bit quiet but I'm sure the atmosphere is buzzing in the evening.
