The Mexican — Restaurant in Scotland

Avoid at all costs! We chose this place as it was ranked 18th on trip advisor and fancied something a little different. It should have been telling when there was only 4 other diners in the entire place when we arrived, on a Saturday night. The staff did not come across as confident - there were 3 in total. There was no atmosphere and strangely a restaurant that did not smell of delicious dishes being produced in a kitchen - there was .... nothing. The decor cheap but effective. We opted for 3 courses for £20, off the minimal menu. Chicken flutes which my partner did enjoy albeit he said they were mini fajitas. I took the tempura veg - the best part was the chilli jam which was rather nice. Our mains - enchiladas and chicken in a creamy sauce. Neither of us enjoyed these - chicken which was not fresh and clearly the same chicken my partner had in his starter. The rice was overcooked and resembled that of microwave rice out a bag covered in cheese. The best part of our mains was the side salad - fresh and crispy. Now we come to the desserts - sticky toffee pudding which was reminiscent of canned steam pudding - this was tasty at least. Churros served with the most disgusting chocolate sauce I have ever tasted!!!! I brought this to the sheepish staff's attention to which I was told she would speak to the kitchen - nothing else was said on the matter. To top it all, our drinks were pretty bad too - asked for a pepsi after enquiring about the options - was given a pepsi max as that was all they had. The White Zinfandel wine ( Roller girl ) was dark and jammy - not pleasant. Overall an underwhelming experience with poor quality food and unprofessional service. We would not recommend and...

Food is good but pretty average. Nachos were stone cold. Front of house staff haven’t got a clue what they are doing. Once seated we gave our drinks order, 3 cans of juice and a tap water but only two people got glasses with there cans which is just carelessness. I ordered a tap water and once I’d drank it I asked for a jug for the table again we were missing two glasses this time so for four people we were given 2 glasses where’s the common sense in that. When the girl was taking our order the clearly very young staff members kept asking her questions she had to say I am serving right now I will answer soon. Drinks sat on the bar for over half an hour with 3 staff on. There wasn’t many tables in it was very quiet. We waited over an hour for mains which were basic so I’m unsure how it takes so long. Staff can only carry one fajita stand at a time so I’d be thinking of getting rid of them. Staff were bringing food to the table completely unaware of what the dish was that’s the fault of the chef who should be telling the front of house staff what the dishes are before they leave the kitchen! Place is an absolutely shambles. Owner is 100% to blame as they clearly can’t train staff I’d run a mile after working a...

Edit to review - appreciate the reply from the Mexican, thank you. About the churros however - as a Mexican restaurant, why are you not making them fresh? Seems poor, sorry.

Hadn't visited here in a few years, so husband and I decided to book a table on a Friday night a few weeks ago, remembering how much we'd enjoyed before. The atmosphere was awful from the first step in the door - staff looked so bored (with one playing games on their phone at a table). Seemed to have a musky smell that's been disguised with paint - mould all over the men's bathroom too. Food was okay and at a fair price - we had to get up and ask for cutlery for every course though as none was provided. And after two attempts at the kitchen making our churros and still coming to the table raw, we gave up.

Used to be a great place, but unfortunately gone very downhill. Will not be...
