Mayella Mexican Kitchen in Edinburgh

I'm from the US, so not really used to paying these prices for Mexican, but apart from the wheat tortilla, the best Mexican food I've had in Scotland. The carnitas were very good, and considering that it's in a touristy part of town, the drinks were reasonable. Pleasant situation, friendly staff. Recommended if you must do Mexican while visiting in Scotland, as I was required to do by my guests.

I tried this place a good few months ago and went back a few days ago and it’s been excellent every time. Mmm the food is very tasty and delicious! I have a Mexican friend who went with me before and he said it gave him memories of when he was eating in his hometown. Great cozy place and great location!I’ll be back! :)

What a lovely place. Food was absolutely amazing. Be warned, portions are large and we were full after the starters however everyone in the party enjoyed their food.

Totally wow! But, be prepared portions and huge. We've underestimated our capabilities in terms of eating and had to take 3/4 with us.:DBut food is delicious, we've ordered:- small chili con carne nachos- deviled chicken strips and- lamb tacosCan't wait to come back, thanks to extremely nice staff!!!

Can't give this place enough praise without worrying more people are going to find this hidden treasure. Amazing food and service

Good tasting food. Very nice drinks even the non alcohol ones. But only giving 3 starts because I think it's very overpriced place. 1 alcohol, 2 non alcohol drinks and 2 dishes and 1 extra sauce on the side costed over £50!

This cantina is hands down possibly the best place to eat traditional Mexican food in Edinburgh. The place has a really unique feel, stock some local beers (like Tiple X), several tequilas and they make lovely cocktails. Regarding food, everything is cooked to order and delicious (and tastes almost like in Mexico). Love their enchiladas and tacos con carne.Book ahead as it can get busy.

We had been wanting to try this place for a while, and they graciously squeezed us in outside even though they were fully booked for the evening. The margaritas were great!! We split nachos (regular size is good for 2 people as a starter) and then has two taco dinner specials, which were delicious!!! It's hard to find decent Mexican food in the UK, but this place really delivers! Great service as well. Really great experience.

If I could give it 6 stars I would!Must visit for Mexican food fans that is miles better than any chain restaurant out there. Beautiful & crazily decorated restaurant that you could spend ages just looking around at every detail.Our server was incredibly lovely & helpful (she rhymed off all the flavours of frozen margarita when I asked & knew the menu inside out).We had a small chilli con carne nachos to share to start, Monterry with steak & Tacos de Carne (which was a special) as our mains all pictured in this review. The food came so quickly as well, I think we had finished everything within an hour!Every single part of the meal was tasty down to the fantastic guacamole. Highly reccomend the nachos!! To drink we had a mojito & passion fruit frozen margarita (I wish I ordered a second).Definitely reccomend booking in advance even during the week as it's a small place, they don't take bookings online but give them a ring instead. They have extended and put tables outside due to the nice weather during summer.Can I go back now please?!
