The best restaurants serving Mexican food in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

I came to Edinburgh for a couple of days as a solo traveler and was looking for a place to have tea near my hostel. That’s when I found this wonderful spot. Indira is incredibly kind. The first time, I had a simple avocado toast, but it had a green sauce that gave it a delightful Latin twist. Plus, there are plenty of vegan 🌱 and vegetarian options. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for solo travelers. The pastries are really good, and the scones are just as delicious. I really recommend this place.

Their menu changed since our last visit, so we wanted to try a few different plates. All were excellent.

Fantastic place, bustling with energy. Loads of selections from various menus, something for everyone! Fair prices, fast service and great food

In Newhaven port we found this restaurant not far from where the tender leaves the cruisers. The restaurant  was well presented and it had free tables and we were tempted by the fish & chips on the menu. The restaurant serves a variety of foods (mexican, indian plus some fish and meat dishes). So glad that we chose the fish & chips because It was a good portion, the fish was very fresh, well cooked and the batter was done well. The place is nicely decorated and was well heated for the cold day. The bill was very reasonable but we recommend checking it carefully.

Very fresh and tasty food. Lovely staff

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.

Delicious quesadillas and empanadas! The restaurant has a lot of charm, with its beautiful, immersive Venezuelan-themed decoration. The servers are also very courteous and efficient. Top cocktails too.

Food is very yummy, would absolutely go back. Only issues I found is that there are different menus with different price points, and the jarritos drinks are expensive compared to other places in Edinburgh.

Only one person was serving at lunch time... 20 mins queue time for a portion of Tacos. So would not go back if in a rush... The food once I did get it was delicious though, still not sure it's worth the wait though

Delivered the completely wrong order...

Brownies were to die for!!! The chicken burritos were tasty however halfway through I found a string of plastic which put me off eating the rest which was a shame.

had a great dinner for my anniversary, our waiter Tomas was great and the food was fantastic!!

Absolutely smashed it. Loved the food, and the service was great. Had a fun banter with some folks and enjoyed our drinks, starters and mains. Would be happy to come back.

A lovely spot but limited options on the menu. We enjoyed a few starters and a cheese sharing plate. Unfortunately the staff were not unwelcoming, not in a rude way just not engaging or bothered. They lost at least 8 guests by not trying to get them to sit down or talking through the menu. A real shame as the food was tasty and offered good value. The downstairs loo is shared with the restaurant next door which meant a few people, from next door, got confused with which venue there were in. Quite funny to watch. In my view, the restaurant could have been fuller if the staff had interacted with people coming in. A real shame as service was good once the staff made an effort.

Looks great but I ordered a veggie empanada and they gave me pork. Didn’t notice until I was already on the tram. Couldn’t eat it as I’m vegetarian- three stars because my friend said it was good, but obviously very disappointing for me though.
