About Miros Cantina Mexicana
Miros Cantina Mexicana has been a Mexican restaurant in Edinburgh since 1991, with its address at 184 Rose St. The kitchen cooks tacos de carnitas and fajitas, and the bar serves frozen margaritas, including a frozen strawberry version that works as a drink alongside the meal. Everything here is built around Mexican cooking, with guacamole made fresh. The interior has not many tables, so the room stays compact. The restaurant is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often return to the generous portions of tacos and fajitas, with the tacos de carnitas and a fresh-made guacamole singled out, and several call the food authentic. The chicken quesadilla and a cheese quesadilla with chili con carne also earn praise, the latter as simple, filling comfort food on Christmas Day. Close behind are the margaritas, where one reviewer recommends the frozen strawberry version, and the friendly, attentive staff. Several describe a cozy room where conversation stays easy even on a busy Saturday evening. Criticism is milder but specific. One reviewer found the food average apart from the chicken quesadilla and arrived to an empty dining room, while another felt the frozen margaritas could use more tequila. A couple mention the pricing, and one noted slower than expected service that the server laughed off. Reviewers also call it a nice break from pub food, with one pointing to a good-value main and two beers.

“A nice break from pub food. Delicious food and great service. The frozen margaritas could have had a bit more tequila and were pricey.”
- DN Nick
“Lovely food, big portions. Friendly and attentive staff.”
- Andrew Law
“Really good food with large portions, great value for money. Had slower than expected service, but was joking with the server and had a laugh about it. Interior is cosy with not many tables but you didn't feel like you were too locse to other groups. With 2 beers and 1 main spend about £38. Would definately recommend.”

“We really love Mexican food and boy were we in luck. The food was great, the drinks superb (highly recommend the frozen strawberry margarita). The staff was super nice and was nice to eat in a restaurant were you could speak easily (the music was nice and not to loud) even though it was a very busy Saturday evening. We will definitely stop there again before we go back home.”

“My husband and I are kind of experts on Mexican food, he especially knows his stuff. And yeah, this place was good. It’s decently authentic and that’s hard to find. Very impressive serving size too.”
