Miros Cantina Mexicana, tucked away at the Charlotte Square end of Rose Street, offers an authentic and intimate Mexican experience in the heart of Edinburgh. You step inside to a fresh and colourful interior, which even on the dreariest days, uplifts your mood and puts a smile on your face!
To start with, Miros has an excellent range of Mexican beers that goes well beyond the ubiquitous Corona. They have on their regular menu other options including Negra Modelo and Pacifico, all upgradable to either chelada, which adds salt and lemon to the glass or for the more adventurous michelada, which also adds chilli to the mix! On top of that they also have a beer specials board which has beers you probably never heard of including 'Ferry Porter' and 'Death rides a pale horse' IPA! Lastly, there is also a good looking cocktails which has a range of margaritas and other fun sounding cocktails.
The huge plate of nachos arrived for our starter to share. Now, I am normally don't get that excited about nachos, however, I do have to say that the nachos at Miros really impress me! They are definitely one of the star features. The plate was full of tortilla crisps, cheese, tomato salsa, guacamole, fresh herbs and we also got the upgrade of the beef chilli. It was big and filling and is definitely the way nachos should be!
Miros also has a well priced selection of lunch time mains mostly around the £7-8 mark. You could select off the taco specials menu or the main menu containing a good mix of the familar including enchiladas and fajitas or the more unusual 'borrego con miel', which contained shredded lamb with honey and smoked chilli. The tacos proved popular, which had a wide selection of fillings and could come with either a flour or corn shell. The food tasted fresh, was a good size for lunch, used good quality ingredients and had a good amount of spice to it. This is definitely some of the better Mexican food to be had in town!
Miros Cantinia Mexicana delivers on all fronts and does not drop in its scores in any category. The place has been visited several times, by several members of multiple teams on my floor at work and consistently everyone raves about it! Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area or if not you should consider making a special trip to be in the area!

Comments:

- Best Nachos in town, and very good steak tacos. Enjoyed the Pay the Ferryman porter and Negra Modelo beer.
- One of the best Mexicans in Edinburgh.
- I love this place, it’s just like being in Mexico. The Nachos are to die for, the Steak in the fajita was perfect, the "Death rides a pale horse" IPA beautiful. The Music was also bangin. Best restaurant in Edinburgh.

This really is a good restaurant
ReplyDeleteJust a small factual correction the (DOA) IPA is called "Hop on or Die".
ReplyDelete"Death rides a Pale Horse" is the Blonde Ale
