A mixed bag. Location over quality. On walking in I felt slightly unwelcome. No real welcome at the entrance just a curt request on whether we had booked a table and a rapid request to follow the person to a table. The person who served us was patient and helpful without being overly attentive.Our drink arrived. My friends liked their beers and was I surprised to get 2 cocktails for one which were good and strong. The food was not great. It's not the worst Mexican food I have had in the UK but overall it was not anything to write home about. The Burrito and the Enchilada were packed out with rice, something I've never seen in either of these dishes and I'm guessing saves money on a filling of beef. the sides of sour cream, guacamole and salsa were pokey and small in a single dish on the side. The rest of the plate was filled out with a leafy salad.Personally if you have a hankering for Mexican food I would say this is not the place.

I have always wanted to try here for a while so i did via Just Eat! Arrived on time piping hot and superbly packaged! I went for the 5 tapas bundle meal deal wasnt sure what each thing was so i just ordered what sounded nice haha. My least favorite was the Brazilian Fried Chicken although it was juicy, tender and spicy the way i like it tbh it had no flavour, a bit boring tbh. The Brie and Mango Empanadas were nice, savory, tad sweet and cheesy mmm! Next was Albondigas to me was a really nice meatball dish, very homely and hearty flavour, really nice! My next fav was the Chicken Quesadilla, packed full of flavour.. chicken peppers and all sorts, the wrap it came in was soft and slightly charred.. very taaty indeed! My absolute favorite of all was the Fiesta Tapas.. what is that i hear you ask? Basically its a salad lol not just any salad tho this was stunning.. packed full of all sorts of flavours with watermellon and these little red pearls i have never seen before which are actually called Roquito Peppers which are sweet and spicy anyway im not normally a salad person but this i would highly recomend 👍😁👌

Had the bottomless brunch today and what an amazing day we had. It's well worth the money £29 pp. For starter and main and as much prosecco as we could drink, we had 3/4bottles and many cocktails. The added bonus was the service provided by the wonderful Lydia, nothing was too much effort. She was attentive and our glasses were never empty. Will definitely be returning and hopefully we get Lydia again !

Visited for the bottomless brunch and was not disappointed! For £35 we got a starter, a main and about 8 cocktails each! Super friendly and attentive staff and the cocktails were great too. This is our favourite bottomless brunch spot in Newcastle and we will definitely be returning again.

Beautiful restaurant and lovely food. The food was amazing, I absolutely loved what I ordered (fajita stacks) and the presentation, for it to be make your own. Also the chicken is halal here. The staff were very friendly and the service was great as well as, the whole atmosphere of the restaurant. I have no complaints about this place and will most definitely come back here.

We had a great time here celebrating a birthday. Service was good and food was excellent. Nachos to begin with followed by a beef burrito. For pudding was banana flavoured sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. Hope to get back here again sooner...

Visited with my girlfriend for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. It was my first time here, and I can't wait to come back!We were hosted by Lucy, who was very pleasant and hospitable. Our initial choices for food weren't available (menu issues), but Lucy asked the kitchen just in case something could be done, and we managed to share a hearty portion of albondigas as a starter.We only had 2 courses, but by God were they filling! A few cocktails and a bottle of cachaça later, and our bill was just over £100. Can't fault the price, service and atmosphere

A bit disappointed. We ordered via the QR code on the table but we did not see anywhere to apply for the 25% student discount. The refried beans were not nice and my burrito wasn't very tasty. I won't be returning.

Lovely food as always and great service. Nothing to complain about at all. Oo and the pina cola cocktails were lush xx

Had a birthday meal with a voucher here mid week relatively early, 5pm. Really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and we both had a great time.We had calamari and fried cheese cubes for starters, I had steak and my partner had a whole chicken. Yes a whole chicken to himself. The steak was perfectly cooked, for me - medium rare but the fat was rendered, the chicken was covered in a delicious sauce. It was the spiciest one on the menu, but it was not that spicy. The heat built over time but it was more like the spice of a aromatic curry. Either way, it was absolutely delicious and he ate the whole thing leaving a tiny collection of clean bones like the carrion bird that he is.It was also 2 for 1 on cocktails at that time so we ordered caipirinhas and of course they were delicious. We had a lovely evening, the staff were great, friendly and on top of things and helped make the experience feel non-pandemicy. Hand sanitiser was available in various places and I chose to still wear a mask as I moved around.Thanks for a great evening out. 😀
