Vegan Eats: Taco Mazama, Edinburgh, Scotland

Taco Mazama, Edinburgh

Imagine the tectonic plates of Scotland and Mexico combine in a fierce and furious collision and the resulting outcome lands in the shape of a big fat spicy burrito.
Then you take a long delicious bite and the stars align. You realize you just landed in vegan heaven.

Seriously, Edinburgh’s Taco Mazama is incredible, so much so that we had to write about it.

As two vegans wandering the land of haggis and buttery shortbread, we were a little concerned on what we were going to survive on. We wandered in and out of establishments and found nothing but anti-vegan cuisine. We were starving! We tried our luck with Taco Mazama, a Mexican hideaway on the bustling Princes Street, and low and behold, we saw ‘Vegan Mac n Cheese’ on the menu board!



The Restaurant


In a hip cafe-style setting with an open counter, Taco Mazama is decorated in all things Mexican. Iguanas and enormous tins of re-fried beans are scattered around the small eatery which gives it an exciting feel. The ambiance is mellow, and typical to Scotland, everybody is super welcoming and friendly.
