So, just a quick post on this one, as I wanted to get the word out about how much I enjoyed my box of food which I picked up last Tuesday night. My rather excellent personal trainer Tracy Griffen recommended   Los Cardos to me last week, but they’d just closed for the day by a whisker when I popped by , so a second attempt was made and was a success. Still open, I was gonna get me some dinner.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Los Cardos opened a few of weeks ago on Leith Walk, on the block between Dalmeny Street and Jameson Place. It’s a little takeaway shop, with a couple of seats for if you want to eat in. The very friendly people behind the counter talked me through the menu  – so many tempting choices, so it was a bit of a dilemma on the picking front. The had steak, chicken, pork, pinto and black-eyed beans, and all sorts of fab veggie bits, guacamole and salsa to top and dress the burritos, or tacos, whatever takes your fancy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kind of knackered from my work-out, I realised that my decision making powers were a little useless, and the only thing I could really decipher from my brain was that I was very hungry, and heck, all of it looked good. I think I muttered something along the lines of ‘chef’s choice’ and so I took home a tasty box filled to the brim of their rice ,beans, carnitas of pork which is braised in their tangy salsa verde, some lettuce, sour cream, cheese….Anything else? Um, nope, I think that was all. Their tag-line is ‘Fresh Mex’, and it was definitely the best takeaway dinner I’ve had in a long time; really nice home-made tasting food. Only, the beauty is that they take care of stocking all of the millions of component dishes, and I just have to provide the plate and cutlery when I get back to the house. Sweet deal or what? My only gripe is that their drinks fridge (as giant and plentifully filled as it was) didn’t seem to offer a huge choice beyond sweet sticky sodas, energy drinks and water. It’d be cool it if they struck up a deal with some local fresh juice company. Maybe they do their own ? Will check it out next time.<\/div>\n
Unsurprisingly, Los Cardos has already recruited a loyal legion of fans; not bad going in three weeks!  Anyway, they’re waiting for their website to be finished, but in the meantime here’s the link <\/a>to their Facebook page, which has the current contact details. In FB-speak, Leila Likes this<\/i> (giant thumbs up).<\/div>\n

ps – Word is they also do MacSweens legendary haggis as a filling. Why, it’s so loco it might just work!<\/p>\n
