Was craving good nachos and decided to pay this place a visit. With excellent service and delicious food, Illegal Jack's has a new fan in me! Definitely recommend!
Passing St Patrick Square on my way home, I thought I’d duck in and grab a couple of burritos from Illegal Jack’s. I’d been to the outlet on Lothian Road back in the day and followed their Kickstarter (or “Jackstarter”) closely, so it was about time I saw how they were getting along.
The restaurant itself is great – I instantly felt happy and welcomed in to the space. Compared to the cavernous white interior of its predecessor, the new site felt more intimate, trendy and relaxed. For better or worse, their target market is clear from the outset – and they also have a strong presence.
Illegal Jacks previously was situated on Lothian Road and had rapidly become an institution in Edinburgh before it’s untimely demise through no fault of its own. I was pleased to see it was able to re-establish itself elsewhere and in a better location for me. I will declare my interest here as I did contribute to the Kickstarter campaign to get Illegal Jacks back on track.
