What’s the vibe?
Located on Edinburgh’s bustling Leith Walk (a haven of indie businesses), Chorrito often has a queue of hungry locals lingering around in the hopes of bagging a seat at its counter. Tables you ask? There’s just the one. Owners Dan Bentlett and Dawn Freeman dish out brunches and dinners of breakfast tacos, quesadillas and chilaquiles – all served up with their own brand hot sauces.
What are the prices like?
Brunch dishes range from a very reasonable £4.95 to £9.95 for a larger plate. When it comes to how much a meal at Chorrito sets you back, it's all about how much self-control you can express. Many a diner has gone in hellbent on having just one large plate, but caved at the need to order a smaller plate of tacos or quesadillas as everything is so damn delicious. We don’t judge.
What should I order?
Take a friend and eat your way through the menu as much as you can. Chorritio’s menu does change every now and then but everything rotates around classic Mexican staples. Make sure to wash it all down with a margarita and buy a bottle of hot sauce to take home – you won’t regret it.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
We’ve previously named Leith one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world so there’s no shortage of things to do before or after eating an alarming amount of Mexican food. Head to the Depot for a gig, New Barns taproom for a pint and billiards or stroll the famous Water of Leith.
