  “Really great food - I love their burritos and quesadillas. They are a go to takeaway for me, I often order to pickup through deliveroo and its always been exceptional. The only thing I will say is the staff always seem anxious that I am annoyed the food is late when they are taking a perfectly adequate time to cook it. I think this is because deliveroo sets the pickup time as 10-15 minutes after I order. I have received profuse apologies from a staff member for my food taking 25 minutes. However, I think this is a completely normal amount of time to wait in a restaurant. I had the same experience ordering at the kiosk and I asked about my food after 15 minutes since I didn’t receive a ticket from the machine. The staff immediately began apologising for it being late. I would like you to know that you do a wonderful job and I never feel like your food is taking long :) If I was to change anything, I dont think a restaurant this small needs an ordering screen/kiosk. I also think there is not enough seating however I understand the restaurant is very constrained by size of building.”

  “Went to this small Mexican restaurant for lunch, amazing food and lovely staff. The cocktails were strong, the spicy margaritas was a bit too spicy for me, the staff offered me a lime jaritos on the house which was really kind. Would definitely recommend!”

  “Quick service and tasty food! We love starting and finishing our time in Edinburgh with a trip to Ala Burrito. The food is so fresh, our personal favourites are the nachos and honey cake and especially the pot of cheese for special well behaved doggy visitors! Always leave feeling well fed and looked after.”

  “Authentic and tasty burritos loaded with fresh ingredients. Thank you to the young gentleman who served me through the night after a long and arduous ultramarathon. True customer service with a smile and, after seeing that they have a storefront in Edinburgh, I will definitely be back to try more of their menu. 100% recommend the beef burrito!”

  “I rarely write a review, but this place deserves 1 star after an awful experience. TLDR: they lied they they had run out of food, after we waited 40 minutes for service, and were effectively kicked out. Please read on, as this place was really poor. We sat down, ordered our food, and received our starters, which included a plate of nachos. The nachos were very disappointing. The food was cold, the toppings were scarce (a small sprinkling of cheese, a few jalapeños) and it felt thrown together with little care attache. We were, ironically, asked by the waiter how the nachos were, to which we provided our honest feedback; that they were a little disappointing, cold, and quite bare. We replied calmly and not at all rude, and the waiter seemed disappointed. We sat there waiting for our main courses, but the waiter promptly returned and told us that they had in fact run out of ingredients for our main order (chicken and veggie burrito bowls), despite us having sat there patiently waiting for 40 minutes by this point. They told us they could not serve us and told us to leave. New people had just sat down and ordered, so clearly this was dubious, probably designed to avoid serving us and risking a poor review on the main courses. This is a pretty stark response for some calm honest feedback on the starters. They did not charge us, which was of course the least they could do, but by this point we'd wasted our evening and had little to show for it. They were not mean about any of this, but the response was incredibly strange and ultimately left us very frustrated. This all comes back to the quality of the food, and so I would avoid on this basis alone.”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really solid food at Alaburrito, everything we had was tasty and generous. Our server was originally from Baku and was great, friendly and attentive, didn’t catch his name unfortunately but he made the meal even better. His recommendation of beef burrito was spot on! Would happily come back next time I’m in the area. Highly recommended!”

  “I was really impressed when I visited Alaburrito. The food here is delicious and so fresh. I am gluten free - so it was great that there were options for me. The chicken tacos were amazing. My husband had the chicken and haggis burrito which he said was very tasty. The margarita cocktails are banging too! We sat outside which was great for watching the world go by. They do takeaway too - if I worked nearby I would get my lunch here on a regular basis! Safe to say we'll be heading back soon for another Mexican fix - highly recommend it!”

  “Lovely experience at Alaburrito. Went for lunch with my boyfriend and the food did not disappoint! We also both thought the prices were extremely reasonable, especially for a Mexican restaurant as they are usually very overpriced. The staff are great. If I had to say a negative it would be that the flavoured margaritas weren’t very strong as I had a pineapple one and it didn’t taste of pineapple at all (it was still nice) Happy this is our local Mexican! We will definitely be back.”
