No longer get black beans with the nachos but surprisingly they are the same price. Also had to search with a fine tooth comb for the chilli in the burrito, should have been a rice and sour cream filled burrito.

A genuine hidden gem. A few other taco and latin american places in Edinburgh make more noise when it comes to their marketing and social media etc but this place is the real deal. Super authentic, great menu, simple ingredients and nice chilled out vibes. Can't believe I walked past for years and have only just recently been. thoroughly recommend.

If you want to try some Latino/Venezuelan cuisine look no further, this restaurant is the place to choose from among many in the big Scottish capital! Went there to try it out and didn't regret my choice one bit! This one lady also did the whole experience more memorable for me due her extreme friendliness. Mercedes it's her name! Thank you so much for everything you did for me Mercedes while I was there!

It's always a great pleasure to go back to Sabor Criollo. A cozy space with a pleasant atmosphere where Muhammad's (and his colleagues) dishes comprised of Latino/Venezuelan food always fill the soul with joy. All the members of staff are lovely there, Wilmary always has a smile to offer, Zeevar the friendly approach and nobody makes people feel welcomed as Mercedes. Been taking friends to introduce them to the cuisine only Sabor Criollo offers in Edinburgh and will keep doing it for many years to come.

The food is decent, but quite bland: little flavour and literally no spices. We had the beef enchilada and the pabellon margariteno (a fish dish), and were quite disappointed. We also had a tres leches as dessert, which was not good at all. This place is also on the pricey side, considering the kind of food they serve.

Ordered and the delivery time kept getting pushed so I tried to cancel so I could order somewhere with better delivery and it wouldn’t let me, called the place and the guy was rude to me because I didn’t want the food that was made and sitting for ages - I tried to explain they should not make the food if they don’t have the delivery person but he actually told me he didn’t care it was just eats problem with the delivery. Rude, the food was actually ok but not great and absolutely priced too high for what you get. Would never recommend or go back.

As American ex-pats, one of the things my kids miss most is being able to find good Mexican food in Europe. So we were excited to find Sabor Criollo, which is a bit off the beaten path in Edinburgh, but was a nice option with both Mexican and Venezuelan dishes, with good vegetarian options. My wife and I each enjoyed an arepa, and the kids ended up getting three orders of nachos and a quesadilla. Even if it wasn't the best Mexican food we've ever had, it was certainly an enjoyable meal for a reasonable price.

Visited this restaurant at the weekend, having not been in it in over 10 years. Glad to say that the food is still fantastic. The nachos starter was delish, as was the quesadillas and enchiladas main course. The decor creates an authentic welcoming atmosphere and we were served by the owner himself, due to us booking an early slot. My only criticism would be that they need an A board or sign of some sort up on the street to encourage passing trade as the place is quite easy to miss if you don’t know it’s there. We will definitely be returning again in the near future.

Cheerful and bright atmosphere but several mistakes made with food orders. Server notified of mushroom allergy yet Quesadillas had to be sent back as they contained mushrooms. An incorrect fish dish was served and when raised with waiting staff, the server disputed this. Overall, food was average and service slow with dishes being brought out individually meaning some people had to wait for 5-10 minutes whilst others were eating. More organisation and checking orders to avoid confusion would go along way!

Popped in for a very quick late lunch when everywhere else was closed. We were the only two there. Our burritos and tacos were delicious. Extensive menu of Mexican and Venezuelan dishes.

The food was extremely disappointing, which was such a surprise when so many of the reviews are so positive. It seemed pretty obvious to us that the dishes we had were heated from frozen. The £17.50 Gambas Pil Pil was frozen prawns in a simple sauce with spicy rice. If the rice wasn't microwave in a bag it was a good imitation. The beef chili in the enchiladas was cold, while the plate was steaming hot after being nuked in the microwave. The tequenos and croquetas tasted from frozen too. The stand out disappointment was the guacamole, £2.50 for two tablespoons of squeezy supermarket guac. For a garnish that is so easy to make delicious it was just awful. Our server was lovely, but was completely over-stretched meaning we got very little attention. It really was a shame. Cocktails were well priced, and okay. I wonder if the head chef recently decided that cooking from fresh just wasn't worth it financially. Or perhaps we were just very unlucky in our choices! I wish I could say otherwise, but I absolutely would not recommend Sabor Criollo.

The best I can say is the food wasn't actively bad, but neither was it good. We wanted some suggestions for shared plates so we could try a range of things, the waiter just said, "You haven't decided, I'll come back". The unforgivable was the jug of margaritas, if that was served in south America your body would be found in a shallow grave and your family would disappear. Not even the four shots if tequila we ordered could resurrect it. Loads of crushed ice floating around to block your mouth so you couldn't sip it and no doubt for filling its true function of bulking it out. Let me be clear, margaritas are tequila, Cointreau or similar and fresh lime juice, strained over ice; in a jug some large cubes would be acceptable. It is simple and delicious, the restaurant owner should try one sometime.

Guys who ran the place were very creepy, kept talking dirty about customers in their own language (Turkish), food tasted really bad as if it was expired. The owners of the restaurant are Turkish, and they are the ones who run the place all the time, cursing the customers in their language, thinking that no one understands the Arabs in particular, far from their racism. The food was the most disgusting and smelled like garbage that honors grace.
