"nothing standout. the blue parto cantina looks pretty cozy when you go down the stairs. in the inner it is really small and dark, but their eyes fit soon. the toilets, as their website makes a feature, are outside the main entrance so that they enter and get to them outside the restaurants./ we liked the feeling of the place. small and intimate it reminded us of a similar place in glasgow called bibi’s. I liked the blue papagei cantina as there were more things I liked than I didn't like. the service was fabtastic, the waitress full smile and really attentive. we had chilis and spicy bean soup filled as appetizers. Normally they would expect correct rellenos to have a broth crumb around them, but instead they were literally only filled chilis. the additional texture of brotkrust around it was missed. the spicy bean suppe was really delicious and hit the place. for the net we ordered enchiladas and herbal fajitas (technical Tex-Mex). the enchiladas were beautiful and there was a lot on the teller. the herbal fajitas were a bit sad. they did not come to a sizzler and so it quickly became cold. I ate one and a half small packs, as I have to admit that this was nicely dirty. more like sweet stir fried in a garlic oil went cold. guacamole, salsa and jalapenos were delivered, but also they fought to help. it also came with a very square and Bland salad. the fajitas were the abandonment in what else could be good. the place seemed too busy (we were there on a Saturday) and given the size, I would recommend to them book.Certainly not the best edinburgh has to offer in Mexican food, but it is ok."

have we lived in Europe for so long that our standards for Mexican food have fallen or is blue parrot cantina actually a good place to eat? I think it is.

something expensive for what it is. I was very disappointed by the experience here; the food was okay / good the service was good, but I thought it was over price for what it was. I probably wouldn't go back because I'm going to mexico.

I can't put my finger on it, but it was all a bit meh, we were kind of disappointed. with the food, from us not ends our main thing. the personal is good enough, although we had to go to bar/kitchen for a few times to ask for more drinks and coffee. View menu

my man and I had the most beautiful dinner in blue parrots on our last stay in edinburgh. modern cocktail and fabulous homemade mais tortillas and dip. amazing fish dish for me and my man enjoyed his chimichanga. a wonderful little cantina. thank you.

Have we lived in Europe for so long that our standards for Mexican food have dropped, or is Blue Parrot Cantina actually a good place to eat? I think it's the latter. The menu isn't extensive, but all the staples of a quality tex mex place are there: burritos, enchiladas, chimichangas, and more. On our most recent visit we started with the black bean soup, which was well spiced and interesting. I continued with a vegetable chimichanga, which was every bit as good as I remember the chimichangas at our regular Mexican haunt from my stateside childhood. The melted cheese was plentiful, which is exactly how I like it. The margaritas were tasty but not quite the right consistency too...read more
