    Second visit to the basement, still haven’t tried the cocktails but the food is amazing. Been struggling to find a good Mexican. The beef burrito had the perfect quantity of everything, the birra tacos are my favourite but pretty spicey if you like some heat! Love the vibe and black light decoration, busy little place but legendary 🙌🏻

    An easy to miss bar/restaurant that I’m VERY happy to have gone into :) Staff are really lovely and food was amazing - best we’ve had in a while! Cocktails were great and the music was excellent. Such a good vibe. We shared three kinds of tacos and left very well fed. Will be returning next time I’m in Edinburgh!

    A great find for authentic Mexican food! The atmosphere and decor were lovely, food was amazing and full of flavour. Cocktails were nice and the staff went out of their way to swap a cocktail that I wasn’t keen on.
