Bodega in Edinburgh, City of

Our first time here with our son and his best friend. It most definitely won’t be our last. Fantastic experience from walking through the door. Friendly knowledgable welcoming staff. Guided through the menu. Margaritas were amazing and the food was fabulous. So tasty and fresh....

We dropped in on this bustling small restaurant without a reservation. The staff were really friendly and responsive. They shared what kind of portions the dishes were and recommended serving that would be sufficient for us. 3 of us sampled their margaritas and the were...

Amazing food. Everything was great, so many different flavours. Amazing service, our server was so kind and enthusiastic. Lovely atmosphere. We loved it here.

Great wee local neighborhood restaurant. Staff lovely. Margaritas superb (best we had since we went to San Diego) Tacos tasty and interesting flavors. Loved itv

What a wonderful little restaurant! We were so glad we found it as we were staying nearby on our recent trip to Edinburgh. Never been to a restaurant where we ordered nearly everything on the menu before but everything we had was stunning. It all...

Food is the best I’ve ever had.it’s so fresh and not to filling and such a pretty restaurant :))))))

Came with my daughter for the first time as defe wont be the last. Food is beautiful, served quick too and the staff are very nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

Finally got round to visiting here and it was lovely 1st visit. The staff were first class and really friendly. The food is lovely but the portions are pretty small so you're better to get 2 tacos. I'd visit again and definitely worth checking out

Loads of GF choices. Really super waitress (from Barcelona) who was very attentive and went the extra mile to bring us extra hot sauce. She made sure to check everything was OK on the GF front (separate fryers and all that). We ordered a couple...

Wow, great food.. very fun and exciting way of serving, lots of small plays so brilliant for sharing and trying lots of things! The buffalo chicken taco was superb and the sweetcorn with parmesan and lime crema will change your life! Just a short walk...

I booked a table at Bodega through their website (via Open Table) for the 18th Jan for two people - this was for a birthday dinner reservation. I received an email confirmation on booking and 24 hours before our reservation, I received a text from...

The classic margarita was lovely. The cauliflower taco and cod taco were very tasty. We chose to take our own wine which made the meal good value for money. Would recommend.

One of my favourite places to go with great vibes and even better food. Went with a big crew of people and everyone loved it!

This place was ok, which in Edinburgh means that it’s not quite up to it yet as there are so many other amazing places to eat. All of our tacos were ok - not offensive but nothing to write home about. For £7.50 for two...

Had a lovely meal here. Good food and service excellent. Starters amazing and the same for mains. If in the area give it a visit as won’t be disappointed. 👍

Delicious food 😋 Service 👏🏼 Ambiance 😕 Speedy dinner tonight. Everything we ate tasted great. Friendly extremely fast service. However, the diners dread is the ‘we need your table back at XX’ just as you sit down. Consequently you felt part of a production line....

Excellent food, service and drink. Cannot fault any of it. Perfectly sized portions, delicious drinks. Will definitely be back again with mr bao, my sister and her partner!

Wonderful food with beautiful flavour combo, excellent service and unique decor. Make sure to get the guac!

Great twist on Taco's with some really fresh tasting, interesting and delicious plates ...we could eat our way through this lot and start again ...not every night of course:)

Super food, incredibly helpful and friendly staff and fabulous drinks too. What more do you need in a night out? The food was really delicious and some of the best I’ve tried outside America.

Amazing food and brilliant service. A great range of tacos and the chicken wings to start were SO good! Would highly recommend!

I am so glad that I looked a little further out of central Edinburgh for this meal, as the food was incredible. We tried loads of different tacos - beef brisket, fried chicken, pork belly, charred cauliflower and white bean, and baja cod - and...

I just really didn't enjoy the food. Staff were really nice and the drinks were good, but the tacos were cold and stale tasting, the flavours weren't particularly good and I left feeling a bit ripped off. It is a nice place with a pleasant...

Beautiful Restaurant 👌🏻 We went on a Thursday afternoon (approx 7pm) and was very busy - recommend booking. Staff were SO attentive - food came out super quick. We had the Baja, Chicken and Pastor Tacos - all were beautiful! We also had margaritas and...

My husband and I came here on our weekend away. We had heard about it and were excited to try it. We loved everything we had and want to go back when we can. We had the guacamole and padron peppers which were both really...

We visited for dinner as a group on Wednesday evening having booked ahead which I would recommend as it was very busy even on a midweek evening. The menu is quite small but if you like tacos you won’t be disappointed as all were excellent....

Brilliant food and service! Chicken wings and chicken tacos both amazing. Can’t wait to go back. Both servers made the meal very enjoyable!

As soon as you walk through the door you are hit by the vibrant, fun and relaxed atmosphere of this delicious eatery. If like me you’re a novice with tacos and Mexican food, don’t worry, the staff explained everything perfectly and confidently with a smile...

After waiting 6 months to enjoy a restaurant visit, this choice could not have been any better. Everything from the classic margarita, to the home made guacamole and the tasty tacos was fantastic. The staff were very attentive and friendly. It won’t be long until...

Our second delivery and it didn’t disappoint! Again, lovely fresh food, easy to finish off at home and delicious margaritas. While restaurants remain closed, I hope this option continues!

We have visited this restaurant and have never been disappointed (best guacamole ever!) but this is our first takeaway "visit". Ordering was easy, food was delicious and instructions were incredibly easy to follow. The raspberry margarita was a real hit too! In these uncertain times,...

Had the Tiny Taqueria delivery option for NYE - amazing! Delicious food, easy to follow instructions and yummy margaritas. Highly recommended!

I can't think of a single fault with Bodega. The staff are attentive without being intrusive and a pleasure to speak to. The food and the margaritas are absolutely delicious and the price is very fair. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous, I genuinely...

Got a takeaway on the first night the pubs closed in October and Bodega didn’t disappoint. Impressed with how quickly they got the takeaway promos / instagrams out there and communication, instructions and food were all superb! I actually weirdly am not a fan of...

We booked tonight for our first visit and so glad we did. Excellent service, wonderful food and delicious Margaritas. We will definitely be back.

I visited Edinburgh for the first time with my boyfriend on the august bank holiday weekend and this is a must for anyone who loves Mexican! Menu was good for both myself and my boyfriend. I only eat vegetarian food and the two tacos I...

Really loved the veggie option on this eclectic menu. Some great Mexican food, as well as Spanish and Tex Mex influences. Loved the guac and chips, the cocktails and the prawn tacos in particular. Staff were friendly and fast and Covid measures were clear and...

We booked here for the final meal of our trip and weren't disappointed. A very friendly waiter made some great recommendations, the black bean dip to start was a real highlight. Good variety of tacos, the pulled pork being so good I had a second...

First meal out since lockdown in March - felt very safe due to measures put in place by the restaurant, food was delicious and couldn’t fault the service.

This is a really lovely spot - the restaurant is light and airy and decorated beautifully. We visited in mid-August and the staff had gone out their way to make our visit as safe as possible with well spaced out tables, Perspex screens, plenty of...

Great Restaurant, well set up for social distancing. Food is just amazing, you have to try it all Service was brilliant - there just needed to be more margarita in our jug 🤗 it was yummy 😋 and will be back Thank you

My husband and I visited Bodega for the first time tonight and were delighted by the overall experience! The food was lovely, the service was really good, despite some confusion with our order, and the atmosphere was nice. I am very happy we tried this...

We cannot fault a thing, everything was incredible. The waiters were so friendly and polite and the food was absolutely to die for. At first we were pretty sceptical because of the small menu, but please try this place!!!! It does not disappoint. We live...

Living in Austin we have access to the best Mexican food in the world. Bodega Leith just became our home away from home. The Margaritas were perfect and the peppers & guacamole were awesome!!! The barbacoa beef tacos and cod tacos were the family favorites,...

Went to Bodega for the first time - it did not disappoint. Great vibes, loved the decor and feel in the evening. Food was wonderful and was also good value for money. Staff were very polite. Would definitely come here again!

Very different for a Mexican restaurant . Modern setting and seating, compact, great service and a meal which made you think about how creative a restaurant can be with traditional food. they turned an expectation of usual mexican fare into a very enjoyable, different and...

Took some friends here and we had a fantastic time, great service, delicious food and great margaritas. Loved the ambience.

Tripadvisor had the wrong address down it’s not 62 Elm walk but 14-15 Albert Place after we phoned up to confirm the location. Very nice food made me want more fresh tasty food and the service was very nice.

Such amazing food, cocktails and service. I've visited a few times and will most definitely be back!!

Fortunately live close by. Excellent option for a variety of freshly prepared tacos. Variety of beers on tap and margaritas. Not cheap but definitely worth the cost.

Four of us come here for the first time for dinner on a Thursday night early January. We didn't have a booking however they kindly took us as a table had just left. The gentleman who greeted up was obviously quite busy and kept asking...

I was drawn in by the well curated interior design and went in for early dinner. Not too busy around 6:30/7 but got busier while I was there especially in the smallish resurant space. Comfortable casual seating. Very friendly service, quick food delivery and really...

Visited recently with a friend, the restaurant was busy but I found the service to be both swift and attentive. The staff made it feel effortless almost as they breezed from table to table taking orders and clearing plates. The food was also excellent, the...

Ok so that headline sounds quite dramatic but check this place out as you won’t be disappointed. The food is delicious, fantastic tacos, amazing wings, authentic salsa, and lovely lovely people. We came here by chance but if we ever come back to Edinburgh we...

Tacos had a very genorous meat filling. Were very refined and flavour was very distinct for each variety. Hope they make the pork belly one permanent

Excellent again! Came here a year ago and glad to say a year later it’s still great, staff are the big seller, so friendly and professional. Food and drinks excellent too. I would say the starters are good value for money and the mains are...

We decided to have our dinner in Bodega Leith, Mexican restaurant Albert Place street. And what a great choice it was: Fresh ingredients and relaxed atmosphere was perfect closure for hectic shopping day.I recommend the buffalo chicken tacos and grapefruit IPA, so delicious combination.

Cannot recommend highly enough- will be back every time I visit Edinburgh. Effortless service with a big smile and a hug to boot. Shout out to Katie who took exceptional care of us. Every dish was delicious, love the tapas approach, cocktails were also top...

First visit to new restaurant, the bigger space works well. Great service and atmosphere. Lovely food and good sharing options. BYOB option as well as licence. Definitely be returning.

Had a fantastic dinner here, the tacos were perfect size and full of flavour. The chicken wings here are one of the best I've ever had. We also had the jalapeno mojitos which I was apprehensive about but we're extremely tasty! Would 100% return. Really...

Me and my girlfriend decided to visit Bodega, luckily for us we arrived early as the place was nearly totally booked. Fantastic tacos and very friendly and polite staff. Would highly recommended

This is an English restaurant and has nothing to do with Mexico or anything Mexican. I ordered what I understood to be Pimientos de Padron (described in English in the menu) which arrived 'thickly coated' with a mixture of dried chilli and ground sesame seeds...

Mexican Place with good range of starters, mains, side dishes. The restaurant is very noisy so not ideal for a quiet chat. But the food is good.

Went in on a Tuesday night, the waiter was very polite and good with me and my guest who wasn't that in to mexican food. The hot sauce used for the buffalo chicken should be bottled and sold. The cod tacos for me were the...

A good find in Edinburgh. Simple menu but fresh ingredients cooked and presented well. Good wine list too.

I love the space and vibe. It smelled really good like some kind of refreshing incense. Pastel colours and design are something i really love. I always wanted to go there as it looked so good and I love mexican cuisine and ingredients. Unfortunately, I...

My hubby and I have been meaning to try this local neighbourhood eatery for ages and what a find! The food is fantastic, service amazing, atmosphere funky and cool - we absolutely loved it! It was our first but definately not last visit. Oh and...

We came here Saturday night and had a great dining experiences. Having a few starters to share and a taco and side each we had a plentiful amount. All the dishes were exceptional, fresh and full of flavour. Very impressed! Would highly recommend.

Super helpful service and good quality food. It’s a small place so worth booking but you won’t be disappointed. Also BYOB 5 GBP corkage for a bottle of wine. Nice friendly welcoming atmosphere.

We spent a really nice evening at la bodega with my boyfriend and his brothery. We had 3 starters to share, each of us had a taco and a side, a dessert and 2 drinks. A bit less than 30 pounds per person. The service...

We were sent off one night and surprised how busy they are we came back the next evening and thankfully got a table. The decision to come back was one of the best we made during our stay in Edinburgh. Everything is amazing there: ambience,...

Glad to see Bodega back in Leith, went here with a group for a farewell meal. Quality is as good as ever, ordered the fish tacos, pork tacos both excellent but highlight of the meal was the sharing plate of beef rib, meat was melt...

We had a table for 2 on a Saturday evening at 9:30 & it was busy but not overcrowded. It’s a youthful clientele: mostly people in their 20s and 30s; the decor is simple but cool & has a relaxed vibe. The service was fantastic...

Located in the old Tail-end restaurant - nice bright spot with pastel colours. Good food and friendly service. Like the fact that there was draught beer.

These guys know what they doing. That’s for sure! Superb flavours, amazing combinations. It’s like little heaven on tortillas. If I could I would be there every day!

This is my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh! Amazing food, super fresh and tasty. BYOB is also great addition to the dining experience; there is a supermarket 2mins walk away to get drinks to bring. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is quirky and...

I’ve not seen my mate for a bit since she moved to Edinburgh. We always pick and find new places each time we go out. And what a find Bodega is. An authentic Mexican with scrummy tortillas, and delish cerviche. And the hot sauce was...

Tiny little restaurant but big on great food, fabulous margueritas and friendly service. The food is fun, interesting and flavoursome and ideal for the 2 coeliacs and 1 vegetarian we had in our group. It’s byo so makes the whole thing great value. In all...

This place is a hidden gem in Edinburgh. The staff are great and the food is delicious. The choices are great and hard to choose from. Will visit again for sure!

A bit off the beaten track from downtown, but SO worth the £5 cab ride or 15 minute walk. Love this place (been searching for a great Mexican restaurant in London for three years, and Bodega is better than anything I’ve found out of the...

Definitely a meal to remember! The food here is truly outstanding, the tacos are the best we have ever had! On top of this, the prices are surprisingly low and great value for money. You can bring your own bottle (which is definitely worth doing)...

Firstly I have to say how terribly unfair it is to give a one star review for a place where the writer hasn’t even eaten due to an admin mess-up! Onto our review... there were 10 of us, it’s a tiny place with a limited...

Walked 20 minutes just to get a few steps away from the door before they told us that the booking we made via the TripAdvisor app wasn't valid. Asked if they could possibly squeeze us in and weren't offered any alternative solutions other than to...

Is this it? No. Oh yes it is! Careful, we almost walked straight by Bodega’s unassuming entrance. Less of a frontage, more of a door and a window. Table seating is along one wall with the other cleared for access. There were about 16 diners...

Great food, amazing marguerites, very reasonably priced, cool and unassuming, my only criticism is that service could be quicker but I think that they need more waiters, the waiter was very friendly and welcoming, the food is amazingly and I can’t recommend this place enough

This place is tiny, sits about 20 max I think, so if there are more than 4 of I suggest booking. It’s also byob, so do that, or pop out to get some as there are off-licences nearby. Two of our party had been before...

A friend took me here as a treat - so glad she did. It's small and I mean tiny! You can probably fit around 10-15 people in max. There is no where to wait so if you turn up early, you'll have to wait outside...

I have been to Bodega on numerous occasions and I absolutely love it! Most recently I celebrated with a group of friends for my birthday. We had the group menu deal which is really great value for starters, sides, tacos and desserts. The service is...

Bodega is a small shop with a warm and casual atmosphere. My fiancé and I went for dinner and were immediately given a table. When asked, the waiter knew what was gluten free (almost everything aside from tempura which can be made GF apparently on...

Amazing food - tortilla chips and dips were fab as were all the tacos we tried (prawn and butternut squash) but I would have eaten them all if I could. Churros were the best I have ever had. Definitely book as it's a small place,...

Wow - this restaurant was brilliant. Perfect for pre theatre food. Margharitas were excellent, i had the raspberry and can recommend. My partner and i shared nachos, gaucamole, 3 lots of tacos and spicy potatoes. Beautiful dips. This was plenty to satisfy us. i could...

Wow. I can not recommend Bodega highly enough - don't get me wrong its not fancy or beautiful & its small, with one very busy waiter but it is so tasty. After it was recommend to me I have now been about 10 times, and...

You have to go. Wonderful chicken wings and the guacamole is amazing. Cosy, tasty and cheap. BYOB. Friendly staff. Whats not to like?

This little place is right next to my home and I couldn't be happier about that! Their menu is clever and the chef knows how to deliver good flavors and with a nice presentation. When me and my partner we want to treat ourselves Bodega...

We were visiting Edinburgh for a couple of days, staying in Leith and after reading the very good reviews about Bodega we've decided to give it a go (being big fans of tacos and Mexican food). Unfortunately, we've experienced what must have been the quickest...

We visited on a busy weekend. The service was good however there was just 1 person serving. The food itself was very tasty, however I would say it’s slightly over priced, the saving grace is that it’s BYOB. We all cleared our plates and decided...

Managed to get a booking the same morning which I was pleasantly surprised at as I walk past regularly and it’s always full to the brim. When we got there Joe (I believe) was absolutely fantastic, so friendly and sincere. Great atmosphere and the food...

Came here last minute on a Saturday and they squeezed us in. Absolutely cracking experience, BYOB is great and however much you bring they’ll pop it in the fridge, nice touch. Starters and mains were excellent. Only negative i guess is that even with 2...

Very cosy wee room which was softly lit and had a nice intimate atmosphere. Waiter was polite and friendly. Food was excellent. We had an issue where a dish arrived with an accompaniment which my friend hadn't noticed on the menu which wasn't to my...
