  “My experience at El Jefes was exceptional. The service and food were excellent, but what stood out to me was the stunning decor, atmosphere and vibe combined. Food was so good I had to go back for seconds!! Highly recommend this place, special shout out to Liz, Millie and Jose for their flawless 5 star service and delicious food.”

  “We ordered ahead for the lamb roast on Sunday, but when we arrived they told us they were out of it, despite the pre-order, which was disappointing. The quesadilla was good, but the chicken tacos were underwhelming.”

  “Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Scotland. Great beer selection, good atmosphere, and friendly staff. Unfortunately, I couldn’t rate it higher because half the toilets were out of service, and the remaining one had snot and blood on the walls at eye level. Not exactly what you want to see after a great meal.”

  “Sunday roast was great value and taste. Highly recommended! We were celebrating a birthday and they have us some free sombreros to take home. Nice touch 🙂”

  “Good spot if you’re looking for a mexican culinary getaway in Edinburgh! The portions are pretty decent, the food is also good! There were some unusual ingredients in some meals which I haven’t seen before at a mexican place but it did not majorly throw off the taste. The music at this place is definitely for the more UP people though! Many gluten-free and dairy-free options, which was great.”

  “Most authentic Mexican food I have had in the UK. I got the lamb quesadilla, it was a bit pricey but well worth it. The flavors of the sides, the richness of the meat, the quality of the tortillas were all excellent. I have had Mexican food in the U.S., and this is def as authentic.”

  “Came in here at lunch time and ordered the pardon peppers, watermelon salad, cauliflower tacos and black beans sweet potato tacos. Enjoyed every bit of it! The avo and watermelon in the salad were fresh and sweet. The sauce with the pardon peppers was flavourful and tomatoey. The tacos were loaded and also very fresh and flavourful. My only complaint was the lack of heat in the food, but there were hot sauces on the table. Server was very attentive and gave us water when we sat down. Took our order promptly and checked in with every table. Would definitely recommend!”
