Sponsored Video: Where to go for a Tex-Mex in Edinburgh?

February 1, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There are some nice tex-mex cooking options available in supermarkets and especially stores like Lupe Pintos across Edinburgh. Tex-mex isn’t just tasty, it’s relatively easy to do and can be super cheap.

Uncle Ben’s cookery show even managed to get kids to create some bangin’ steak burritos. Hey, if the kids can do it then even a kitchen clutz like myself could do it.

Did you know that ‘burrito’ a Spanish word that means ‘little donkey’? One theory is that the burrito looks a bit like bedrolls and packs that donkeys once carried.

Sometimes, though, you don’t feel like cooking and fancy popping out for a tex-mex instead? Edinburgh Reviews has taken a look at some local favourites like Illegal Jacks, Los Cardos and the Taco Mazama in the city centre.
