El Cartel

Hola Amigos, who wants some Casera Mexicana? Home made Mexican food found in Scotland’s great city of Edinburgh. The El Cartel restaurant welcomes you to try their hot Tacos and then to cool you down try their famous frozen Margaritas. With your taste senses on overload they bring the Hip Hop vibe to the city centre making it one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh.

El Cartel’s take on authentic Mexican street food is influenced by their favourite taquerias, cantinas and street side carts to bring you a real taste of Mexico. The flavours are fresh and zesty and every dish is made to order from scratch.

Their tortillas, they are a real labour of love! They use traditional Masa Harina (corn flour) to make the dough balls which are then individually hand pressed. This is something they do every day, it may take a while but it is 100% worth it for that authentic taste. Even the hot sauce is made in house. It’s a fiery combination of 4 different chillies: ancho, morita, arbol and habanero which will leave your taste buds tingling!

For those who wish to quench their thirst they’ve got an extensive range of tequilas, mezcals and cocktails alongside the famous frozen margaritas. Don’f forget to ask about the day’s special flavours!
