Bodega Leith is a modern taqueria at 14–15 Albert Place in Edinburgh, where it has brought tacos and tequila to Leith Walk since 2013. The colourful, energetic room has the feel of a neighbourhood restaurant built around informal shared meals and good company.
Freshly made tacos form the centre of a focused menu, with meat, fish and vegetables cooked over hot coals. The kitchen starts from Mexican street food but draws flavour ideas from Asia, Europe, North America and Australia, serving them in corn tortillas rather than trying to reproduce one rigid regional style.
Barbecued sharing plates and changing accompaniments extend the meal beyond tacos, while the compact selection lets the kitchen respond to season and availability. Everything on the food menu is described as gluten free, though guests with medical dietary needs should still confirm preparation practices.
Margaritas, tequila, local beer and wine match the bright flavours, and diners may also bring their own wine or sparkling wine under the venue's current policy. Anyone with allergies should speak to the team before ordering because ingredients and the frequently changing menu can vary.
Address: 14–15 Albert Place, Edinburgh EH7 5HN, Scotland
