This is not the place to go if you are looking for authentic Mexican food in Edinburgh. The food was lacking in flavor and the food looked like it was microwaved. The margaritas were cheap but they tasted like they hardly had any alcohol in them. The place tries to make the atmosphere feel like you are in an authentic Mexican restaurant with the decor and music that they play, yet they fail to bring any of the soul of a authentic Mexican restaurant to Edinburgh and it was highly dissapointing.

We booked here after it being recommended to us from tik tok. I arrived promptly on time. Once I sat down the waiter came straight to take a drinks order. I hadn’t had time to look at the menu so asked for a couple of mins but appreciated his attentiveness. Unfortunately, what transpired was not attentiveness but pushiness. Every minute he was back pushing for the order, this kept happening with ordering food too. 3 times I asked for a few minutes to decide and I didn’t even have 30 secs each time to look and he had an attitude that I wasn’t ready. After my friend asks if there’s a hurry he says you can be here until 6, which in my opinion is a quick turnaround for 5pm booking and it wasn’t stated anywhere. We pointed this out and he dismissed the issue and said don’t worry the food will be 5 minutes. 20 mins later the food arrives. The food was tasty but unfortunately the service experience did ruin the atmosphere and made us feel we had to rush and not enjoy our meal. Also to note, a table behind us were not rushed at all, so I am unsure why it was just us.

The food was amazing, some of the tastiest I have had Unfortunately the experience was let down by a waiter having an argument with a customer. It ended with the waiter punching a table. When I requested the service charge to be removed due to this experience, I was questioned and was told my request was unfair because it was the customers fault. If you can see past the poor service, it's worth a visit for the food

The food was on the average, acceptable. The stuff was quite rude, pushing you to eat and go, especially a man who was in charge and took the payment. I don't think I will go again.
