As a lover of Mexican food and tequila we thought we’d try this restaurant as it was also near to our hotel. So glad we did great, friendly service with tasty food that was fresh and vibrant. Same could be said for the cocktails, mine had dragonfruit sorbet and was delicious. Great vibe to the place too, we will definitely back

Another excellent visit to the Basement, the food was nothing short of spectacular and we had the most delicious non-alcoholic margarita. A must visit for anyone in or near Edinburgh.
