  “Great food (many Glutenfree options), very friendly staff (Mercedes) and unbelievebly delicious Mojitos. I would of loved to try the Pina Colada too, but i had to have a second Mojito as it was so good.”

  “Thank you for looking after us and taking all the additional requests for how food was served separately (due to particular kiddos!). I would especially recommend the chicken quesadillas, which my son gave a score of 11/10 and the gambas pil pil, as well as the chocolate fudge cake for dessert which my daughter LOVED!”

  “Delicious Latin American food at a true Stockbridge gem. My friend and I came here to celebrate and only wish we’d discovered it sooner as it is easily some of our favourite food in the area. It was our first time trying Latin American cuisine and we were blown away. Everything we ordered was fresh, full of flavour, and arrived quickly. The prices are also incredibly reasonable, especially compared to other spots nearby charging more for less. We started with chips and guac, tequeños, mini cachapa, and shredded chicken street tacos. Every dish was excellent, but the mini cachapa and tacos were real standouts. The corn-based elements, especially the tortillas and crispy corn breading, were unlike anything we’d had before and packed with flavour. For mains, we had gambas pil pil, pabellón arepas, and pabellón empanadas. Again, everything impressed, but the empanadas were the highlight and have been dreaming of them since. We finished with house red, mojitos, and mezcal shots, which was a perfect end. We were completely stuffed by the end, but would have happily ordered more if we had any capacity to. Friendly, welcoming staff and a great atmosphere. We feel lucky to live nearby and will definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu!”

  “Sabor Criollo is a gem. The vibe is so cozy and intimate that you easily forget you’re in Edinburgh. ​The food is incredible and clearly made with love; it tastes like a proper Venezuelan home cooked meal. The owner is the real highlight. He’s genuinely kind and attentive without being over the top, making you feel truly welcome. ​If you want an authentic meal with a great atmosphere, definitely check it out. It’s one of a kind!”

  “Great choice of amazing food. I was glad for pictures on the menu as I was trying some stuff for the first time. The food is flavourful and filling. With great music and nice decor, it felt like I was transported somewhere hot and exotic. Can't wait to go back!”

  “Stumbled across this restaurant on our walk and was so pleasantly surprised! We’re always on the lookout for a good South American spot, and we finally found one that hits the spot. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The decor was charming and cozy. But most importantly — the food! The empanada (with beef and plantains) was absolutely incredible. The margarita, flan, and banana flambé were equally delicious. We’ll definitely be back. So happy to have found this gem! (I mean, look at this place!)”

  “First time going to this restaurant and we had a pretty good time. Starting with the food it was a little on the pricey side but overall we did really enjoy it. It had a homemade quality to it and we mean that in a good way. This restaurant was quite small but in a cosy way however we did find ourselves unable to really hear each other due to a very loud table and loud music. We sat next to the counter and could hear the blender going off every 2 minutes which didn't ruin our evening however again was difficult to hear each other when speaking. If your looking for a quiet meal out then this probably wouldn't be the place for you but if you don't mind some fun music and good food then I would recommend this place.”
