"A big fan of Mexican restaurants but was sadly let down by the food and service at El Cartel. The food arrived at different intervals which we were told would be the case prior to taking our seats due to how busy it was during evening service. Normally that would not be an issue but the delay was beyond what was expected with some members of our group not receiving any of their food for over an hour in comparison to some who would receive their orders in quick succession. As a result of this, the group dynamic was not an enjoyable one as many of us were simply watching one of our group consume their food while we awaited the next plate. The food itself left much to be desired with the tacos themselves been very bland and the soft shells being extremely dry. It was safe to say our group were well and truly blasted by the end of our meal. The drinks were an acquired taste to say the least. Most of the Margaritas were serviceable but some were borderline experimental and the non-alcoholic variants were too sour with paprika lining the glass simply leaving an unpleasant after taste. Considering the prices being charged for the drinks, a higher standard was expected. Finally, the service itself was very poor. Our server arrived at our table when half of us had not even received our food asking if he could remove our plates. We corrected him in saying we were still waiting for food to which no response was given and he quickly departed. Upon arriving with the bill afterwards, a member of our group expressed disappointment in our meal to which the server began to make rebuttals expressing their defence for the kitchen. Normally I can understand the response but considering we paid nearly £200 for our meal, and as paying customers, we felt like we were entitled to express our grievances. Sadly no member of management came up to ask for feedback or to apologise for the food not being to our satisfaction after the complaint was made. Overall I would not recommend visiting El Cartel, I am sure others will enjoy the food/drinks but I do believe there are better restaurants in Edinburgh where you can spend £200 and get much better value for it."

"After some stressful and challenging days, it was my day off, finally. I decided to treat myself by going on my own for a proper meal. I put on my airy summer dress and got out of the house without makeup or having a specific destination I like to live dangerously, I know. The weather took me mentally back at home, Greece. Walking alongside riverside with the sun showering my now milk white skin (no tan for greek girls in the UK), I was getting reminded once again, how rich and beautiful this city 's architecture is. Wondering what restaurant to pick for my special day, I realized I would fancy some nice and well made burrito, so, as every self respected consumer I opened my google maps, typed burrito and filtered my list to the top rated ones. Jive was just 5 minutes away, which was quite convenient for my hungry belly. I had passed 1 million times from their door but never noticed it. You need to be looking for their floor standing sign. Walked up the stairs and ended up in an extremely atmospheric well lit room, with vintagely ruined plaster, exposed subflooring and industrial furniture. The windows were wide open, welcoming every bit of the summer weather and revealing an inspiring angle of everything that was going on outside, in the heart of Norwich, the fine city. The tables are few, for which I 'm not complaining about. After all I 'm getting more and more anti socially british as the time goes by. You don 't know me but I 'm one of those individuals who love to sit in crowded places and watch the strangers around them guessing their stories based on details. Regarding people enjoying the Jive food there, there was a big group of friends, an old couple, a new couple (probably on one of their first dates) and two men probably on an unofficial business meeting. The food was just amazing. Prices are not the best but then again, it was expected considering the position and the dine in feature. Loved every aspect of my visit. Honorable mention? The polite and helpful service."

"Visit from April 2022... We revisited this branch as we had a gift card, the waiter remembered us from last time when we mentioned about our allergies. The waiter was really nice but I felt sorry for him as everyone was asking him to take their orders and he was the only staff member present on the floor. The food was very enjoyable, we ordered 2 Chicken Quasadilla, 2 Mushroom Quasadillas, 2 Sweet Potato portions and Califlower Wings. We were able to ask for our mayo to be out of our meals and on the sides instead which was great as we could are it as we wished. It took a long long time to ask for a dessert afterwards, we had to keep trying to get the attention of someone to serve us which took around 20-30 minutes. At the end we were trying to scan the QR code (like my previous review below the QR code does not work! We tried on three different devices and over three different tables QR! The receipt shows a surcharge which you can ask for it to be taken off, it would be great for the QR code to work as then you feel like you can take it off if you felt like it wasn't an enjoyable experience, we took the gift card to the till and it took around 30 minutes to sort out! Ridiculous. The staff member was apologetic but it caused us to miss out train, it should be much easier to use a gift card. Think that's the last time we will visit here as the ending has become too stressful. Visit from Feb 2022 ... First time visiting a Wahaca Branch. Staff were very friendly and they asked regarding allergies which is very important. Lots of Vegetarian options which is brilliant, we ordered the Mushroom Club, Chicken Club, Patatas Bravas and a Halloumi and Pineapple Taco which was free. The Freebie was very very cold, it felt like because it was free they didn't care how it was presented? The Patatas Bravas were luke warm. The rest of the food was really nice especially the Mushroom Club which I would have again. We were going to order two lots of Patatas Bravas but we're adviced just to buy one because of the size.... We wish we had bought two lots as there wasn't enough to share one portion. Ordered through person but had to pay through QR code which didn't work, so waiter had to do it on their phone which made us feel uncomfortable and stupid... Personally either order through an app and pay at the time or just order through a person and pay through a person, don't do a mixture. Restaurant was clean and toilets were nice and clean which I always check. Knocked a star off for the cold/Luke warm portions of our meal and also the QR system not working correctly (Side Note: I have paid via QR codes before so know how they work so I am experienced with them so think many people will struggle to pay like this."
