El Paso Tapas Bar in Edinburgh

Great place to learn salsa and bachata dancing. Food is wonderful and all of the staff is super friendly 👌

Good food, reasonably priced drinks, wonderful music and dancing. Fantastic night thanks to our amazing host and all the lovely friendly staff

Atmosphere seemed cool at first, and great to see folk in their dance class, but kitchen obviously on an off-day. Food looked nothing like those other review postings and was basically very poor quality. Seemed like they had run out of some ingredients, but also the vegetables were undercooked (nearly raw) yet the exterior burnt and dry. Oh, and did I mention that it took over an hour for the food to arrive. We were the only eating customers in the place at the time. Clearly something amiss in the kitchen. Boss blamed the inexperienced waiter, but he wasn't the one doing the cooking. Reasonably, didn't charge for the worst of the four meals and the drinks, but to be honest that was just the one we used to illustrate the problem. Prepared to accept there was a behind the scenes crisis that evening to explain the difference between the other glowing reviews, but can't see why we'd return.

If you are looking for a Latin experience in Edimburgh El Paso Latino is the place to be. Laura will help you to have a good time and amazing food. And if you like to practice your spanish or learn how to dance salsa they have it too :)

Most of our dishes were burnt.Burnt chicken fajitas, overcooked and over fried chicken wings and burnt chicken and prawn Peruvian dish. They also missed cooking an order for a fajitas which is unforgiveable given we were the only customers there.We weren't asked if the food was OK. Not even when I failed to eat my dish.The cocktails were weak and tasteless.Not recommended.

I phoned up to ask about allergy options (no gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts) and was able to order Arroz Chaufa (chicken, shrimp and rice), and shredded beef with a side of guacamole. Good sized portions and a quick delivery. Friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend! Looking forward to eating from there again soon. Many thanks!

Phenomenal little place in the heart of Edinburgh. Lovely staff that will always make you feel at home, whether you are joining them for food, drinks, or one of their fabulous dance classes (I highly recommend Laura's bachata class!). They also often have live music and regular dance parties. Oh, and the food is simply delicious. Definitely worth a try!

Don't be fooled by the appearance of the venue, the food here is absolutely spot on! Me and my girlfriend we struggled a lot to find a place not pretentious which also serves some good honest food! We had an amazing dinner thanks to an Itison voucher, and we will surely come back for more. I know I sound like a broken record, but oh my God the food it's so good! It gives you that feeling you just made it back to your grandma for a meal! The dessert almost made me feel homesick, a lovely homemade cake!Also La Bandera Dominicana was delicious! Highly suggested!!!

I have been to some spanish restaurants in Edinburgh, but this is the best. The quality of food and the rich flavours will satisfy your appetite. Staff is very friendly and if you are in good mood, there are free dancing courses at night. Alone or with company you will enjoy your stay at a fair price

No words can describe how incredible this place is. Everything from the food, to the staff, to the drinks are absolutely fantastic. Such a great atmosphere! Best dancing I have seen in Edinburgh by far also! Only place in Edinburgh I know that dances bachata properly. Massive thumbs up from me.
