Cantina in Newcastle upon Tyne

Utterly shambolic service and food from this establishment. I came in as a walk in on the afternoonon 1st March, clearly heavily pregnant with my 4 year old daughter. We were advised from the start that there were no tables inside and that we'd have to sit outside, however, the male member of staff did say he'd let us know as soon as a table opened up. Fair enough. As it was freezing, and I was evidently pregnant and had a small child with me, we did ask if we could wait inside at the apparently two "booked out tables " until our food was ready, however we were advised we could not wait inside Fine, so we waited outside. There were four of us in total. So we sat outside in the freezing cold with barely working heaters (after being told they were strong enough to keep is warm) and watched as three tables opened up and no one came in for the "booked out tables" over the course of about 45 minutes. We realised at that point that the staff probably just couldn't be bothered to clean the tables before their later booking. This combined with the staffs can't be bothered to deal with new customer attitude reinforced our logic. The bill for three burritos, three soft drinks and a small portion of nachos came to a whopping £55, this was our fault as we probably should have skipped the measley nachos and over priced gauc which I could have made better at home. I ordered the shrimp burrito, and sadly after I consumed it I felt severely nauseous all day, I'm actually atill nauseous as i write this out. As I was eating it, I do member thinking the shrimp texture seemed abit undercooked but at thay point I couldn't feel my face from the cold and my 6 months pregnancy hunger took over. All in all, I would not recommend anyone to eat here, go up the street to Mascalzone or even better, visit the choppy across the road to save yourself paying for potential food poisoning.

The food was delicious I love it worth to try it

Me encantaba Zapatista’s, cuando estaba embarazada de mi hijo de ahora 5 años y tenía antojos de burritos y cualquier oportunidad que podía hacer el viaje para obtener uno que promediara al menos una vez por semana. Lo visité recientemente y honestamente, estaba tan abrumado. El relleno estaba frío, soso y húmedo dejándome con un burrito empapado. Un poco de jugo es una cosa, pero estaba completamente empapado yéndose a pesar de comerlo inmediatamente por lo que es bastante desagradable. Ahora pienso de nuevo y honestamente, creo que tal vez siempre ha sido así, ya que sabía familiar, pero tal vez solo hay una falta de elección o mejores opciones que impulsa la popularidad? ¿Dónde están las especias, la frescura del uso de hierbas y cítricos... algo con sabor? También compré algunos nachos y de nuevo me encontré con salsa de aspecto anémico mocoso. Se están dejando muy abiertos a ser eliminados por un competidor más centrado en la calidad.

We were the first people to try out their bottomless brunch and the food, drink and service were all amazing! Staff were so lovely and were so quick - and food portions were HUGE so well worth it!

Great food, great pricing and friendly staff!
