Old Town, Mexican - Restaurant Guide

“It’s good to see innovative and regular changes to the menu”, say fans of these “enjoyable” Mexican street-food operations, which win many nominations for their “cheap ’n’ cheerful formula, including a “fresh and flavourful” menu majoring in tacos, quesadillas and tostadas”. On the downside, for long-term fans, “the food doesn’t seem as fresh as it used to years ago, by which standard it feels mass produced”.

2025 Review: On the way into Leith from the city centre, this funky cantina was launched in 2023 as part of a hot sauce-making company (in a building saved by local campaigning). No survey feedback as yet, but numerous press and online reviewers have the serious hots for the place and its made-to-order, hand-pressed tacos. You can try all the sauces and buy them on your way out. For a hip cheap eat, perhaps brunch, it looks just the ticket.
