Tex Mex 2

I spent the third year of my Degree in South America, and the thing I miss most since I came back is the food. Which is why I love this place so much - it's by far the most authentic restaurant of this type that I've found in the whole city.
And it's great value for money too. The main courses are all under £10 and the starters are all under a fiver... which means more money for their amazing Margaritas or frozen Daiquiris, which is never a bad thing! The best thing is their set-price lunch menu: only £8.50 for two courses or £11 for three courses means that you really can't go wrong. In particular, the crispy Flautas are definitely worth trying. Especially if you're hungry, as the portions are enormous here.

Tex Mex 2 has the best British Tex Mex I've had since moving to the UK. They're Spinach Enchilada (with re-fried beans in place of the chilies for me) manages my cravings every time I get a bit homesick.
Price is important to me, and this is a place I can afford to eat at on a more regular basis - not to mention the decent amount of food you get for your money. The frozen margarita's and burgers aren't to be missed either!
The staff is very friendly and manage to squeeze us in each time we phone ahead or rock up without calling.

After reading the reviews about the margaritas I'm a little gutted that I haven't had the opportunity to taste one for myself, but I absolutely hate tequila so it's probably not the best idea.
If you're looking for some Mexican food then I can heartily recommend Tex Mex 2, it offers a nice, vibrant restaurant with friendly staff and a chilled out atmosphere, an excellent menu with delicious food and the prices aren't bad either.
Thumbs up.

I was surprised to discover this was the first Mexican restaurant to open in the whole of Scotland. Ever since 1984 they seem to have been refining their speciality frozen margarita as it's a crowd pleaser. The concoction of lime juice, tequila and triple sec seems to be just right, leaving you willing to delve into their Mexican fare.
The food offerings are decent enough with the nice touch of a real salad instead of the usual carrot shavings and a wilted leaf.
Top stuff!

I actually went in here for one of the famous margharitas that other Yelpers have been raving about!
I can confirm, and I am quite the boozing connoisseur, that they were absolutely fab. And for a cocktail in the city centre, not very expensive at all. We also ordered some chili nachos to have a nibble on, and they were absolutely lovely, probably the best we've had in Edinburgh so far.
By-pass Chiquitos, and come straight here. The décor is bright and inviting, and really puts you in the mood for some Mexican spice!

I had heard good things about this place so I thought it was worth a try. It was a wet Monday evening so it was pretty quiet, just as well because this place is tiny!
When you sit down you are given a rather interesting bowl of popcorn. We don't do much with popcorn in the UK apart from salt or sugar it, so I was pleasantly surprised by the popcorn spiced goodness. The food was okay, I rather enjoyed my Chimichangas, even I ordered it just for the name. My boyfriend got the impression his came out the microwave. It resembled a microwave meal and I guess he felt it tasted the same, so he wasn't very impressed. Plus the food came out so quickly you always kind of wonder if it is freshly made. I don't know for sure, maybe it is worth trying again as this place has been around for so long that perhaps we just went on an off night.

A fun, Mexican meal out. Frozen margaritas are cheap cheese is always a winning conversation. I don't know if it's the additives or atmosphere or the mixture of the two but it leads of a great night like laughing gas has been pumped into the room. A great place to laugh with friends and eat not-good-for-you food.

The margaritas here are so so so so so so good, the best ones this side of manhattan! Food is super good, service is friendly and scarily speedy and the restaurant itself is tiny and cute as! Seriously go, go! I'd hazard a guess at saying it's the best 'mexican' in edinburgh.

Reasonable Mexican food at rock-bottom prices. Great cocktails too. I went with a large group of people on a hot day and it was a little uncomfortable in the small dining area - most people had to go outside at some point for air. Other than that we all had a nice meal and were impressed by the service.
