Blue Parrot Cantina

Blue Parrot Cantina

49 St Stephen Street
City of Edinburgh EH3 5AH
United Kingdom
+44 131 225 2941

After feasting on an array of pungent, imaginative Mexican dishes in this candle-lit basement you will feel satisfied and rosy-cheeked. Marvel at the busy chefs, as they display their finely-honed culinary skills in the open-plan kitchen. Try some of the excellent fish dishes and the delicious fruity desserts. This trendy Stockbridge eatery has some culinary surprises up its poncho and a pleasingly relaxed ambience.

Mother's

Large portions of quality Mexican food 107-9 St Leonard's Street
Edinburgh EH8 9QY
United Kingdom
+44 131 667 0772 This welcoming restaurant is geared to sophisticated fiestas with its colorful cartoon-filled interior and serves generous helpings of quality Mexican food. Choose from an extensive menu or opt for one of the inventive daily specials. For bean-fearing gringos, there are plenty of other options such as pasta dishes. Indulge yourself with a generously chocolaty Mississippi Mud Pie before sampling some of the expertly prepared cocktails. This place is big enough for a separate smoking section.

Tapas Ole

Fiesta forever 10 Eyre Place
Edinburgh EH3 5EP
United Kingdom
+44 131 556 2754 A good place for group dining, Tapas Ole tends to attract an up-for-a-laugh crowd and this serves to compound the fiesta atmosphere. Its traditional menu offers sharp flavours and the lively spirit of a Matador's home-coming party. Service is attentive and there is a huge range of tasty little tapas dishes to try in a variety of serving sizes. There are plentiful vegetarian options too, which is part of the enduring appeal of this type of food. If you're really lucky, the resident guitarist will be around to add a musical touch to your meal.

Tex Mex

Tex Mex 64 Thistle Street
City of Edinburgh eh2 1en
United Kingdom
+44 131 260 9699
texmex2.com This is a popular and bustling restaurant which is great for special occasions and group nights out. It serves authentic Mexican food with a Texan slant. The Flaming Fajitas and Carnitas are justly famous. Its Frozen Margaritas are fresh and tart using only Tequila, Triple sec, Lime and Sugar. The interior is bright and funky with a great selection of music (not all Mexican) for your enjoyment. This place has a great atmosphere and is reasonably priced.

Viva Mexico

Deliciously hot and spicy 41 Cockburn Street
Edinburgh EH1 1BS
United Kingdom
+44 131 226 5145
http://www.viva-mexico.co.uk/m... Enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, cocktails and Latin music - this place has just about everything authentically Mexican you can think of. The restaurant is one of Edinburgh's oldest providers of this type of cuisine, and gives a warm welcome with its bright, bold decor and loads of colourful Latin American ephemera dotted around. All that combined with the reasonably priced, tasty menu and efficient service, makes for a buzzing, enjoyable atmosphere - in fact, most of the punters leave here feeling full of beans.
