Los Cardos - Menu

Of all the Tex-Mex burrito joints in Edinburgh I've tried this is one of the best.

disappointingnot nearly as good as chipotle, and i don't even think chipotle is that great.

So we were in Edinburgh on Cinco de Mayo so of course we had to order some haggis burritos. View menu

I think this restaurant makes the best burritos in town. Guacamole, depending on the chef, is sometimes a bit bland.

The food at Los Cardos is absolutely delicious and is one of my favorite takeout options in the area. The staff is professional, friendly, and helpful. All the food is fresh, prepared to order, and is always tasty. Plus, everything is reasonably priced. You can't go wrong with Los Cardos.

Food was alright, nice salsas and good portions. Older guy behind counter has some serious customer service issues though, made me feel like an actual inconvenience. Just to be clear, other staff seemed excellent and the food was fine for the money, just the older guy working there, don't want other staff to feel its directed at them View menu

I will try to be as unbiased as possible, as I typically don't give 1-star ratings. I have ordered from this restaurant before and enjoyed their delicious burritos. However, this time I decided to try the steak burrito and was disappointed to find the meat extremely chewy and rubbery, lacking the tenderness I had hoped for. I ended up throwing away half of the order. Additionally, the salsa Verde looked unappealing and tasted odd. It would be helpful if they provided more detailed descriptions of the burrito extras on the menu.

So I came home to find it was a disgustingly bland one with only rice, beans and vegetables. It cost over £8 for it. Ridiculous! I've been here quite a few times before but I'll just make my own in the future.

Considering the current global challenges facing restaurants, I must admit that my expectations were not met at this establishment. Nevertheless, I appreciate their decision to remain open and provide food during these difficult times. I would like to give them 5 stars for that alone, but my review is primarily based on the food itself. Located in the Leith area and offering a non-authentic Mexican cuisine, I found my steak burrito and tacos to be below average in taste. However, the accessibility, friendliness of the staff, and portion sizes were commendable. The prices were reasonable and you definitely get value for your money. While I may not return, I left feeling satisfied. My recommen... View menu
