Decided to go to this place for dinner while walking along grassmarket. Looked really nice from outside and the menu had a lot of varieties.This restaurant is perfectly located on grassmarket road opposite to a lot of restaurants and bars.We ordered Nachos with less cheese and a burrito. Nachos tasted really yum but had a lot of cheese in it (asked for less cheese) and burrito was the best, they serve with salsa and avocado topping. I would rate 4 for the food and plating. The ambiance is pretty and I would give a 4 too.Overall, perfect location, pretty place and delicious food!
Mariachi Restaurant Edinburgh 26th June 2014We received a warm welcome and were given a large table at the front of the restaurant. Menus were handed out but as it was the start of the night, we were all fixated on the extensive drinks menu. A bundle of Corona, Amigos and Margaritas were ordered I think we all knew it was going to be a memorable night.There is something majestic about 8 men in a Mexican, ready for food.We ordered an array of starters. Nachos piled higher than the tallest sombrero peak, full of chilli, salsa, guacamole and lashings of sour cream. Camarones were ordered delightfully butterflied King Prawns, seasoned with dried chilli and juicy lime. If thats not to your liking, we also tried phenomenal Chicken Wings, a taste sensation and a must try. As Bruce would say the spice was right. The final starter was the Chicken, Mango and Sour cream Quesadilla which I can only describe as an exotic fruity pleasure.On to the mainsThere was an abundance of choice and we faced a conundrum of what to try. The taste buds were rising and it was time to tuck in. Chicken Enchiladas, snuggled wraps tucked in with a blanket of ranchero sauce. How about a Chimichanga with either chicken or slow cooked chilli beef? A deep fried Christmas present with oozing sumptuousness. There was a calling for a Steak burrito which went down fantastically well Large in size and bursting in flavour. I personally went for the mixed fajitas, chicken and steak sizzling together and every wrap went down with spicy salsa, jalapeno and a good dollop of sour cream. Pulled Pork, emm yes please served in a soft taco with shredded lettuce and salsa, it was melt in the mouth fantasticness. For the table we got servings of rice, re-fried beans and outstanding potato wedges. The wedges were crunchy and on the outside and soft on the inside, dip these into a healthy amount of churned man love goodness and you have yourself an exquisite Mexican side dish.The beers and margaritas washed the meal down well and we all looked rather proud of ourselves. Just when we were considering unbuckling the belt, dessert menus oh go on then.The majority decided on Churros with one other opting for strawberry ice cream with sprinkles it must have been good as he was transported back to his childhood faster than Marty McFly in the DeLorean. The Churros were tremendous 3 sweet fritters of dough delicately dusted with sugar and cinnamon and served with deeply rich chocolate sauce and whippet of cream.Another successful night for the Food Cub members thanks to all at the Mariachi. Great Service and Excellent value for Money.
We visited The Mariachi restaurant on Victoria street, it was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night, at least this meant we would get our food quickly and could be exposed to some fantastic service (or so we thought).We assumed the menu was for lunch as there were so few options, however this was not the case and we concluded it was better for a restaurant to excel in a few dishes rather than serve a wide selection of mediocre meals.We settled on nachos to share for starter followed by enchiladas and soft tacos (both chicken) for main, it didn’t take long for the nachos to arrive and at first glance they looked pretty good, although the sour cream was a bit excessive.Our initial opinion on the nachos was fairly positive, however this may have had something to do with the level of hunger we were experiencing rather than the flavours on offer. The top layer was nice enough, the pico de gallo was fresh, but could have used a kick rather than a nudge, the dish was so mild we resorted to fighting over any chillies that we uncovered. After the primary layer was consumed we were met with the nemesis of nachos, unmelted cheese, there wasn’t a great deal of it but this should be avoided at all costs. We made an assumption that guacamole would have made an appearance, it would have been good to have tried this restaurant’s take on the classic dip, its presence was sorely missed.Overall the starter was a bit of a let down, but entirely edible.When collecting our plate the waiting staff showed no interest in getting any feedback, we were sitting with two empty glasses and were asked at no stage if everything was ok with the starter, nor were we asked if we would like any more drinks. On such a quiet night you would expect better service than this, a customer should not be made to feel as if they are an inconvenience.It didn’t take long for our main course to arrive, both meals came with a side of rice and refried beans, these were served extra bland, but not by request.In essence the two meals were identical, although my enchiladas were rolled up and covered in the colour orange. This ranchero sauce was beyond mild and added nothing to the dish, I even resorted to using salt in a last ditch attempt to add some kind of oral sensation.Again, nobody approached our table to see if we were enjoying our food, perhaps they had already tried this on a previous occasion and received negative feedback. I was keen to get some extra spice and tried to get the waiting staff’s attention, after eating half my meal I was finally able to ask for some chilli sauce, however this did not arrive until I had almost cleared my plate. Thankfully the sauce was so tasteless that it wouldn’t have helped anyway, yes it had a kick, but I suspect it was nothing more than tabasco in a pot.The meal was very disappointing and came in at 50 (including two margaritas and two beers), but at least the restaurant nailed the ambience, Red Red Wine by UB40 – a Mexican classic.In summary, less of Mexican, more of a Mexican’t.For full review please visit: http://www.edinblogger.com/2013/mariachi-mexican-restaurant/ edinbraw.com
Really nice food. The prices were really low and the portions were large. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Fantastic!. Thus far Edinburgh’s best Mexican, matches Bibi’s in Glasgow for taste food and nice atmosphere!
Really enjoyed my meal here. There is lots on the menu to choose from. The service was really fast and friendly too. We had stuffed chillies, tortilla flutes, and fajitas. Everything arrived quickly and tasted really nice. Would suggest not having a starter if having fajitas as a main as it is huge! Glad we arrived when we did as the place quickly filled up around us so if in doubt, book!! enjoyed the wine too. Nice looking little place in the Old Town with nice food and at a fair price. Recommend it to anyone.
