I had an analogy all ready about Burritos and how it's impossible to get them too wrong, but my internal censor decided it was a little risque for a family website, so you'll just have to use your imagination.\n\nAnyway, the upshot is that there's a limit to how low you can reasonably score a place like Illegal Jack's.  It sells burritos, nachos and other assorted faux-Mexican delights.  What's not to like?\n\nWell, it's ok - but compared to places like Los Cardos in Leith or Pinto in Glasgow who do this sort of thing really well, the shortcomings of Illegal Jacks become clear.\n\nYour \u00a36.50 (add more if you want a non-veggie filling, and more again if you want something as extravagant as a bit of sour cream) buys you a flour tortilla filled with a slightly sloppy mixture of rice, beans, and your filling and salsa of choice, and optional extras like jalapenos/cheese etc.\n\nIt's a formula that works well elsewhere, but here the whole thing ends up being a little bit bland and flavourless, which is really the only unforgiveable sin when it comes to Mexican food.  I'm not some insane chilli-head with an asbestos tongue, but I found myself having to make liberal use of the hot  sauce to try and liven things up a bit.\n\nIt's a nice enough place though - service has been good whenever I've been in.  A slight downwards adjustment in price and upwards adjustment in flavour should be all it takes to add at least one extra star to the review.
