Review: Topolabamba – Fast, fresh Mexican flavours on Lothian Road

November 16, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Need a quick, flavourful bite in Edinburgh’s City Centre? Topolabamba delivers. This busy Mexican restaurant nails its street food classics. While not ideal for large groups, it’s perfect for 2-4 people. Service is quick and impressively attentive.

Review: The Basement, Mexican Food and Cocktails

November 2, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Basement is an atmospheric Mexican restaurant on Broughton Street. With its Day of the Dead decor, it’s a perfect date spot. We love the tacos (Taco Tuesday!), drunken beans, and churros. Staff are superb, but it gets busy, so book ahead!
