Burrito · Newcastle upon Tyne
A burrito bar that's been feeding Newcastle for over a decade, with high chairs, a kids' menu and enough vegan options to cover a fussy table — though staff aren't always sure on vegan pricing, so ask. The room is nicely done out with Mexican décor and mariachi music playing, which some families love and others find loud enough to drown out a grizzly toddler (not necessarily a bad thing). Burritos are the draw and portions are big — sometimes rice-heavy — and there's a decent spread of fillings to build from. Service is generally friendly, though it can be relaxed rather than quick, so it's not the spot for a five-minute lunch when someone's melting down. It's cheap, which counts for a lot. Regulars miss the hot sauces that used to sit on the tables, and consistency has wobbled lately.
