We had a pleasurable lunch at this restaurant. It was very quiet, which suited us well. The food was good and the service was pleasant and quick.

Staff were excellent, very happy and chirpy but not overbearing. Food was very good also. Drinks (mocktails) were delicious, so absolutely no complaints. Buy 2 get 1 free tacos we’re good even though we over-ordered but took them home with us. Will definitely be back. Nowhere really does Mexican well in Edinburgh, but this place was up there.

From stepping in the door the staff were welcoming and attentive. Didn’t have to wait long to order and the drinks and food arrived very quickly too. Chicken was delicious and so tender. The waffles were beautifully soft too. Large portions a great value for money. Quirky cocktails, average price. Decor in the restaurant was fabulous. Music loud, but not so loud that you couldn’t hear people speaking. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely go back.

The pizza's were really tasty, although my thick base of my pepperoni ans honey pizza was perhaps too thick and detracted from the actual topping of the pizza. On the whole, there is a great buzz about the place, simple yet effective food. We should have perhaps looked at what a "slice" of pizza looked like before ordering 5 between 2 of us! Highly recommend!
