Feedback
Reviews praise Los Cardos for fresh, generous portions, quick friendly staff and good value. Some guests note occasional inconsistencies with steak, guacamole and salsa.
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 recommendation would be for them to focus on incorporating more garlic, onion, and citrus flavors through marinades or infused rice in their dishes.
Order two burritos one haggis and one vegetarian. I was answering questions about what was to go in them from two people as they made both, including at end when person was asking me about drinks etc and charging me for them. Unfortunately I didn't realise the person making the veggie one hadn't asked me about sour cream and cheese (and for some reason assumed I didn't want any??? . 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.
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.
Amazing. Really quick bite. Helpful and attentive service. Many varieties of fillings (meat, chicken, veg) and sauces (mild, medium, hot, extra hot). Vegan option available as well!
