Leith walk welcomes foodies with this chic tacos shop. There is only one table and the counter bar for around 8 people to sit and observe the fresh preparation of tacos.
Suggesting from friend, I tried their meaty tacos barbacoa(brisket) and LA biscuit (chorizo, guacamole). The barbacoa is hot and spicy no need for extra hot sauce. The overall tacos leans towards savory flavours.
The star that surprised me is the chipotle mushroom mulita. The sweetness of mushroom and the cheese blended in my mouth which I think all the flavours are deliciously balanced.
The hot sauce is offered on the bar which for me I really like the pineapple garlic , and especially habanero mango (yellow bottle) . These two offer some sweetness which compatibly compliment the meaty tacos.
The prices are a little bit high but the vibe, sounds and mood are cozy. The owner is very friendly. The cooking process can take times so don’t starve yourself before coming in.
They normally accept walk in but on weekend you can leave a phone number if it’s full. Highly recommend to try this small...
Read moreWell what can I say about this place that hasn't already been said. This place was such a surprise to us ( myself and my Daughter) first time in Edinburgh and I was very anxious about looking for somewhere with my specific dietary needs. I found this place on a Gluten free app. When we got there we were a little hesitant to go inside as we expected a bigger restaurant with more tables. It had only one table and the rest was high stools with counter top seats. But we decided to give it a go and we are so glad we did. The owners were so friendly and welcoming and explained the menu so well. It was a pleasure to watch them prepare and cook the food which was absolutely delicious. The sauces which are made by themselves were mind blowing..in a good way! I would have no hesitation in recommending this place....
Read moreLoved this place! The tacos were so delicious and you could watch them being meticulously made with care in front of you. The set up of the restaurant is small - bar seating and I think one small table at the front, so it’s informal and likely you’ll have to wait for a slot, but it’s worth it. On top of wonderful food, they also make their own hot sauces in-house. I recommend ordering some tortillas while you wait so you can test them all out. Loved talking to the team there, the place is new and they’re all working hard on what seems like a real passion project for them, they loved talking about the menu, the set up of the place and even the detail of all the specially commissioned pottery and plate-ware. Can’t wait to...
