Very poor customer service- the staff is nor very helpfull. You call and ask for close time they said they are not sure. You get there within 10 minutes and they said they are close. I would not have made my way there if she would have said she will close in 10 mins.
Miro’s is my go to place for Mexican food in Edinburgh. I am quite fussy when it comes to Mexican food but I have always enjoyed my meal at Miro’s. Me and Sam have been here a few times, as a couple, with family and with friends. Last week we visited as a group of 6. We made sure to book in advance as it’s quite small inside and very popular. We shared the trio of dips and the nachos to start which were delicious but quite similar. I chose the Taco de Carne for my main. It was not as I expected. I thought it would be small tortilla tacos but it was more of a burrito. It was still very tasty, the sweet chili sauce was excellent. Everyone else enjoyed the meals, especially the fajitas and enchiladas. We chose to drink jugs of frozen margaritas that were amazing. The staff were also really friendly and seemed to enjoy what they were doing, by taking pride in it. Miro’s now has a burrito stall outside on Rose Street which is great for grabbing a quick, filling lunch. They serve burritos and nachos, the prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. They chef that is in charge here, and the woman that assists him are fantastic.Unfortunately the original chef and the woman that used to help him, no longer appear to work in the burrito stall. This has down graded the quality, and time taken when preparing the food, but the taste is still great.
This place was packed for a Monday night and it wasnt all tourists. Before we even looked at the food menu, we knew we were going to make a start on the jugs of frozen margaritas. We went for the plain lime version but you can order flavoured versions which include mango, raspberry and coconut amongst others. These were very good value for money at 20 and we got about 10 small drinks out of each jug. Whilst not overly alcoholic, they were just right to go with the food and we ordered a second jug later in the evening. As a few of us had been before, we knew that the starters were massive, so we decided to opt for two starters between the four of us. We went for a trio of dips with corn chips and some olives. Unfortunately the olives werent available so we just got a second lot of dips. For mains, three of us went for exactly the same dish from the specials menu which was steak strip tacos. The fourth (a vegan) went for the vegetable and bean fajitas and it was no problem to remove the cheese and sour cream from the order and they offered more salsa in place, which was nice.The corn chips were nice and warm. The three dips were guacamole, salsa and chile con queso, which is a warm cheese and pepper dip. The salsa was fresh and the coriander gave a nice element to it. The guacamole was nice but was a bit bland and maybe needed a little more seasoning. However, this could have been because it was sitting next to the most amazing dip I think I have ever had. The chile con queso was delicious. The warmth was a surprise but the taste was so moreish I could have eaten them all night.Onto the mains, the tacos werent too over facing in size, which was good. A soft taco wrapped up steak pieces, onions and peppers with a sweet chilli jam, which really brought the dish together. The steak pieces were a little small but it did make the dish much easier to eat. The taco was covered in guacamole and sour cream. The sides of rice and salad were ok but nothing special. The salad was fresh but the rice was a bit lacking. The vegetable and bean fajitas were enjoyed. It arrived on a sizzle plate and the dips and warm flour tortillas were provided on a side plate.We werent hurried away from our table and were left to finish our cocktails. We all had a great time with lovely food, drink and a bustling atmosphere. I look forward to going back. edinburghfeasts.com
Delicious!!. Had a lovely meal with great service at this fabulous Mexican restaurant! Although small, it oozes character and offers a variety of tasty dishes on the menu! The waitress was friendly and attentive and most importantly, the food was delicious! I had nachos for starter and the Mexican stack for main course. The portion sizes are perfect and it was the best Mexican food that I’ve had for a loooong time!
Mexican Food. This little restaurant is one of Edinburghs little gems. We discovered it by accident while visiting Edinburgh on Rose Street. At first I was apprehensive about visiting a Mexican Restuarant in Edinburgh since I’ve travelled extensively throughout Mexico. But, after deciding to give it a try I was very pleasantly surprised at the authenticity of the food as well as a very welcoming atmosphere. My family had a great time and reminded me to recommend this place to our friends. After discovering this review site I’ve decided to give it a great review for anybody who’s looking for a restaurant with a little bit more value for money and service!
Very very authentic food, I had the nachos which was a big plate of refried beans tortilla chips and garnish. It was delicious although it is a shame about the location. Margaritas fresh and beers cold.
Yum!. I had a lovely evening at Cantina Mexicana – it began with a cold Corona, delivered by a friendly waitress with a big smile. For starters we had quesadilla with olives, sundried tomatoes and avocado, very nice and tasted fresh – the mains were wholesome and delicious – an enchilada with veg and bean for me and aros con ariscos (rice with seafood) for my companion. But, the highlight for both of us had to be the chickpea cake – totally novel, very light and an unexpected finale. I’ll definitely go back. Shame the toilets were so cramped though. A tad embarrasing…
