    El Cartel - The fish tacos are incredible

    My friend and I came here on whim while walking through Edinburgh. When we arrived, we were the…read moreonly customers in the restaurant. They have good specials and we ordered their two taco special. The beef in the tacos was on the tough side and definitely could have been more tender. The service was slow despite us being the only people in the shop at the time and the waitress we had was not very friendly. The margarita was weak and watery. Overall this was a disappointing stop and I likely wouldn't come again.

    Stopped in for dinner on a Monday night. The place was pretty full (it's a small place) and we only…read morehad to wait a few minutes. We started with a couple of their local draft beers, the chilaquiles(special) and the elote. The chilaquiles were delicious! Very flavorful but all the chips were quite soggy and a little thick. We also got a hot sauce on the side which was divine! It was spicy and had a great taste as well! The elote was sweet, juicy and the spices it was covered in were delicious! For our meals we got the steak and chorizo tacos, cauliflower tacos, Baja cod tacos and the pork carnitas tacos. All of the tacos were delicious! Again, the tortilla was a little thick, which was nice but it was falling apart a little. The cauliflower tacos already had a nice amount of spice to them. These were a great veg option for our vegetarian. The steak and chorizo tacos were interesting as it seems they were blended into a crispy pan fried patty and the sauce it came with was incredible. The cod tacos were my favorite! The fish was well seasoned, super crispy and very light! The sauce it was served with was rich abs tasty as well. I wasn't a fan of the pomegranate but that was my fault--should have ordered without it. They did not have any dessert. The service was also so great! The staff is very friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend!

Traveling through Scotland we've been amazed at all the Mexican food restaurants. After a terrible plate of natchos, we've avoided them until last night. The lure of a margarita brought us in to this place that serves water out of Jose Cuervo bottles. The ambiance was lively and had the bright ceramics of our home town neighbor. Ben, our waiter, was wonderful-calmly dealing with our concerns and bringing us dishes one at a time. We started with fish tacos which were delicious and had slices of Serrano peppers. The spiciness was welcome. We had prawn tostadas that I would order again without hesitation. Quality of the prawns was excellent. The spirit of Mexican cuisine was in these dishes although they were different than the Mexican food we've had in Mexico and in San Diego. The calamari was a stretch for being Mexican but tasted great. We were disappointed to not have the margarita rims salted and the avocado was barely adequate for us but otherwise this place is great for Mexican food in Scotland.

    Fantastic Food at great price. I got the burrito with the chipotle and honey pork and it was…read moredelicious. The salsa verde that it came with was so good and helped neutralize some of the spiciness of the other dishes. The chips and guac were alright, i though the chips were way too salty. The tostadas with shredded beef were delicious and also the chicken tinga tacos. The churros were amazing and the chocolate sauce they brought it with was unlike anything i've had before. The waitresses were super polite and attentive and the service was quick. Finally the ambience was amazing, they provide you with pencils so you could write messages on the walls. They also had a great and authentic playlist of latin music playing. As someone from Miami, I felt right at home. Be sure to try the strawberry margarita!!

I've always said a good taco starts at the tortilla, and let me tell you, the fresh corn tortillas were *chefs kiss. The atmosphere was lively and the staff was attentive. Make sure you bring cash because they only take cash payments. There's an ATM at the nearby grocery market as a helpful hint. I overheard quite a bit customers in the restaurant say their food was delicious. Give this place a go!

    I had heard about this place through Reddit! Also came up during a conversation with someone else I…read moreknow in Edinburgh that was checking out Mexican restaurants in the area. I had passed by a few times but never stopped in since being on exchange, however with the end of my program approaching I decided to give it a go. The restaurant had three green flags to me: cash only, Spanish music playing, and the cooks were speaking in Spanish. I decided to order the vegetarian Chile relleno with a Coca Cola. While waiting I looked around and admired the decor inside, it's luchador themed! My food arrived promptly and I immediately dug in. The peppers from the Chile relleno had a touch of heat but wasn't really spicy. The flavors and textures were perfect. Washed down with the coke made a perfect meal. Honestly my experience was everything I wanted in the moment. I definitely regret not swinging by sooner when I was craving good Mexican food. Was definitely really great! Would recommend to anyone wanting Mexican food or simply good food :)
