Los Cardos (281 Leith Walk, Edinburgh) | The List
food
Takeaway review Meaning ‘The Thistles’ in Spanish, Los Cardos is one of only a few places in Edinburgh offering Mexican takeaway and delivery (to postcodes EH1–8).
Alternatively, a steak burrito bowl contains thick slices of beef, rice, piquant peppers and spicy beans.
Halfway down Leith Walk, slotting neatly into the street's landscape of pubs, cafés and takeaways, Los Cardos (‘thistles’ in Spanish), takes its place as your neighbourhood Mexican joint.
Your basic Mexican favourites – burrito, taco, quesadilla or bowl – can be stuffed full with one of a wealth of fillings: from chicken or steak in chilli citrus marinade, to carnitas, or, if you’re feeling particularly patriotic, meat or veggie haggis.
Their burrito bowl is a tower made up of big, bountiful layers of taste: rice and beans, followed by intense, peppery Macsween’s haggis soothed with sour cream.

Vibrant takeaway with tables in the heart of Leith Walk.
Desi Pakwan is primarily a takeaway and delivery restaurant, but to appreciate the full experience it’s worth taking one of a handful of tables.

VDeep, Leith, Edinburgh – restaurant review | Marina O'Loughlin ...
food drinks staff menu
‘Is Hardeep Singh Kohli’s restaurant venture a “new and exciting iteration of Indian food”, as the website claims?
Maybe, but it is done with real affection and energy’ Celebrities love opening restaurants, from Robert De Niro, Eva Longoria and Justin Timberlake in the US to our more prosaic slebs: Ant and Dec (High Road Brasserie in Chiswick), Dermot O’Leary’s Fishy Fishy in Brighton, and Rio Ferdinand’s Rosso in Manchester.
After flirting with opening a place in Dalston and Glasgow, Kohli has been brought on board as partner and frontman to make flesh a curry and beer fantasy, along with Vintage chef Ruairidh Skinner.
But we love mixed pakora: cheese and peas, as a nod to mattar paneer; and a heroically Indo-Scottish black pudding and haggis with apple – not a new idea but, with a rich, crumbly filling and crisp, spiced coating plunged into the tang of tamarind sauce, who cares?
Even UK-wide, there are fewer than you’d think: there are legions of curry nights in pubs, Indian restaurants serving craft beers, even beer-tasting menus such as at Quilon; but the only specialist ones I can think of offhand are Brighton’s Curry Leaf Cafe and Bundobust in Leeds.
