Saturday night shenanigans for my friend’s birthday. Lots to say: the place itself is really nice, with gentle and warm lighting making the ambience cosy despite an awkward seating arrangement (3 of us sat next to each other and two of us at opposite ends of the table instead of a classical 2x2 situation). Busy but nonetheless private as somehow sound isolation between tables was quite good. Food-wise, I appreciate the creativity with interesting sauces for the tacos. But I think there weren’t enough options, neither for the tacos, nor for the other dishes. Most of the fried items were dry, especially the fish baja tacos. The portions looked small but upon following the 3-dish-per-person recommendation, and the progressive delivery, we were all surprisingly full at the end of the dinner. The most cost and taste - efficient dish was, unanimously chosen dare I say, the eponymous wings. Make sure to get your hand on those. About the drinks: the cocktails were well-proportioned alcohol-wise, and the flavours were pleasantly pungent. Overall, it’s a nice place; if you care to have Mexican food, there are better places, but for an occasion it’s not a bad choice.

Being a snobby Mexican food lover from Chicago, I had cautious optimism for Bodega....and let me say, it was pretty damn good! We walked away very happy and will definitely be going back. The bbq sea bass, black bean dip and fish tacos were delicious!

I was attracted by the place as I walked by one day, and decided to book a table for one. I was planning to only have two tacos but ended having 4, and they were tasty (a bit cold maybe) and very nice. Feels more like an interpretation of Mexican cuisine rather than authentic Mexican cuisine. I’d go back to try more things! I get why some people complain about the portion size, but for me it was alright (I don’t need too much to be filled).

Bodega is my go to for small plates and tasty cocktails in Leith. The cocktail menu is absolutely amazing, they offer some really creative versions of your regular classics but also some fun original combinations. What I love the most is that they also offer non-alcoholic cocktails with non-alcoholic alcohol and that makes for a really great experience, because at most places, mocktails are just juices, but not here. Vegan options are great, staff always helpful, prices very reasonable, and decor contemporary. If you are a spicy margarita lover, this is your spot in the city!!! 🌶️

Oh....my.....god. Best Tacos in Edinburgh 👏 Each taco and dish was a beautiful little adventure. Big kudos to the kitchen and staff Waiters were absolutely lovely The restaurant has a very chill vibe and the drinks -oh wow, the drinks are fantastic, some of the best Margarita's we've had. Could rate this any higher. Remember this is right next to the tram line so easy to get to. Best bit, IT'S ALL GLUTEN FREE
