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!

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.

I'd like to update my review on Papa Joes, as I think the service and food has changed dramatically…read morein the past year. I went here last night for some dinner with the hubby and can safely say I wont be going back. We both had nachos, mine had chilli beef. Hubby's was fine, but sadly what usually is lovely, soft pieces of beef, was hard, grisly and inedible. When informed of my dissatisfaction, the waitress pretty much went "meh, ok" and took it away with word of an apology or replacement offered. The main courses of vegetable burrito and blackened chicken were equally hard to stomach. I think I managed one bite of mine before I reached for my coat and got the hell out of there. The herby sauce that covered the chicken did not go with the spices on the chicken at all. It left a really odd taste in the mouth afterwards too. The burrito had a really cloying, overpowering sauce with it too and wasnt the nicest. Im really sad that Papa Joes has went downhill so quickly. This used to be one of our favourite places to chill and have some not bad cuisine. It was never an amazing place to go, never blew me away, but I knew I could get some half decent grub. Now, its not even delivering that. Sadly, even the service from the waiting staff could not pick up the quality of the food as they seemed less than interested in giving a good quality of customer service. A very poor show altogether.

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 :)

Poor food quality, enchiladas tortilla fell apart like it was super old and dried out, the enchiladas were cheese only but had a very sharp aged white English cheddar in them. Not edible. Beef tacos had no cheese at all and were so greasy they also fell apart. Rice was ok, beans were old and bland. Nachos were ok. A half carafe of plain margarita was like £28!!!! It was only 2.5 drinks in there! Plus it was frozen for some reason (did not indicate that style anywhere on the menu) and were difficult to drink. Brain freeze! Unfortunately, the staff/owners probably don't care because the place is packed anyway. Eat here at your own risk.

My family and I went here to visit my sister and were really craving some good Mexican food…read more Originally we went and they put us in the basement and there was not many people and no music so the ambiance was a bit awkward. After a little while more people came and they put on some music which made it a pretty good vibe. The service was really good and we ordered the nachos, burritos, and chimichangas with vegan hagis and they were all really delicious. The tortilla soup was a little too spicy for my comrade but still delicious nonetheless. They crammed us in to one table with 5 people but it turned out to be fine so I'd give a review of 4.3/5.0.
