Very good atmosphere, excellent food. Very good vegetarian/vegan options. The roasted veggies on my salad, recommended by the chef, were amazing. Laura was exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our time there truly enjoyable.Vegetarian options: In almost all sections they had a couple of veg options

Lovely food in a pleasant venue. No orange gin though.

The server was lovely, there was a lot of vegetarian/vegan menu choice, the food was presented well, some of it was nice, it’s quite basic though. The disabled toilets however, were indescribably filthy.

I can say it’s amazing Mexican restaurant?

Laura is legitimately one of the sweetest waitresses I've ever encountered, she made the visit absolutely lovely, was super attentive, and was super kind to my friend who was there for their birthday! Lovely

Hi all. It was my stay-at-home son’s (Paul’s) 25th birthday last week and we went to this jaw dropping restaurant in Eldon Square, Newcastle (howay the lads ⚫️⚪️). The cheesy tortilla garlic thing changed his entire life. The cheese absorbed into his tongue, the crunch echoed through his ear canal and the garlic was good enough to scare away vampires - my wife wouldn’t kiss me for three days (maybe this is an issue with our marriage?). The staff were superb and I even took a cheeky pic with a sombrero ??. This meal truly transported me to Cancun and was way cheaper than a plane ticket ✈️. Tacos were average, just order three cheesy garlic things and you’ll be fine.Yours sincerely,Thomas Hall

Went tonight with my kids for the first time and the food was amazing. Service was outstanding. They missed off a burger patty in my daughters Texas stack burger and before we had time to ask them they were at the table and apologising and made up for it for us. Will be going back for sure.

Came for dinner. Had the idea while I was struggling with the heat quayside that I would quite like "Mexican" for dinner. That is distinctly American style Mexican but the seed was sown. A quick search found me Chiquito as a rated place. Took me *ages* to find it. Not exactly what I was expecting, this was quite like the franchises you find in Airports around the globe. Small "botique" versions of a more recognisable restaurant name. Found it nestled among other "Americana" food joints... Ok. Pleasant enough greeting staff after they got around to greeting me I was led to a table and given menus. I ordered the "classic" Margurita and decided upon Quesadilla pork carnitas. This is where I was asked how I wanted my Margurita. "Quickly, cold and in VAST volume" didn't seem like the appropriate reply. So I asked for it with ICE. The drink came very quickly but the volume was disappointing. (Truth to be told this is my first solo venture to a Mexican joint so a single whiskey tumber of ice and the drink did not match up to the Jugs I last had at the O2 before the Python extravaganza. ) Said drink was *very* delicious and my Quesadilla arrived whilst I was still working my way through my first. The food was very nice and I really liked the spice level with thin slices of chilli on it. It *exactly* hit the spot so I finished my drink. Requested the bill, settled up and left. (p.s. I did tip - food and service V Good) TLDR This was a quick bight to eat while shopping type experience. Not an "I really fancy *desired food* " experience. These are *NOT* the same thing and perhaps this was the moment when I realised that any "desired experience" requires, at least, some planning and preparation. Underwhelmed. Though this is likely *MY* problem not the venue.

This is so good I had the 5 bean tacos and it tasted great and for dessert I had churros with chocolate sauce
Steak was decent. While the staff was friendly and hospitable, they did take their own sweet time to serve the beers on a quiet afternoon and a near empty place. Nice ambience and well laid booths. Enjoyed the spanish beer.

Popped in at lunchtime as a spur of the moment thing. Greeted by a young waitress called Megan who was vey friendly and helpful as we had not visited this restaurant before. One minor possible complaint, don’t go here if you are in a hurry but if you want a leisurely friendly meal I can highly recommend it for Mexican type food. Again Megan featured high in our estimation as she refilled my husband’s soft drink without us needing to ask. She made sure we were happy with our food and was as I said very friendly

Guess they only value large tables so they can slap a service charge on them. When you ask a server if you can place your order, you receive a condescending “I am busy right now, ok!”. Throwing our dishes on our table instead of just setting them down, slamming down the card machine .. it was so bad that it was borderline hilarious! Perhaps one of the most appalling services I have ever experienced. It’s a pity because in the team, there was actually only one server who I saw really work really hard and efficiently. The rest of the team were happy to don a ‘don’t care’ attitude. Best to order takeaway if you really want the food here, give the eat-in experience a big miss for your own good.
