Holy Moly in Newark and Sherwood

Had some delicious grub here today. I recommend the steak carne Asda quesadillas, served with salsa and guacamole. The chopped steak was tender, flavorful and there was plenty of oozing cheese. The skin-on fries were great too, crispy and perfectly seasoned. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu next time we're in Newark!

We wanted to meet up for a family reunion before Christmas, and as we were all coming from different parts of the country this was quite central and the reviews were very good. The outside of the building wasn't what I was expecting if I'm honest, but once inside we were welcomed by friendly staff and a very lively atmosphere. There was a huge selection of beers and ciders. The menu wasn't very extensive. However, what they served was absolutely brilliant - we had a selection of burritos, tacos, quesidillas and pizza. All were cooked to perfection and were very, very tasty. The service was excellent - we were told when ordering that there may be a delay with the food because they were busy but we didn't mind this as it gave us a chance to catch up. There's probably nothing worse when ordering food and wondering where it was - at least we were told. Great communication. All the staff were very friendly, and it was great to see it so busy. Obviously a very popular spot. I can't recommend this place highly enough - definitely worth visiting.

Great food as always. I need to try more options but the nachos are excellent and pretty much the best I've had!

I had a pork burrito here. They don't have the quickest cook in town, but the food was very tasty. I will come back.

Gorgeous food! So fresh and lovely with a beer. Highly recommend

It was a quiet lunchtime when we visited. The food was very nice - one star off as there was a little bit of gristle in the beef. Portion sizes were good and food was very tasty.

Recommended by a friend and so glad we came. Food was fantastic, tasty and filling. Real flavours and cooked fresh. Great prices, we will be back to try the rest of the menu.

If you like proper mexican food then this place is a must, hands down the best burritos I have eaten in the uk

Excellent burritos, amazing staff, incredible value for money, need I say more? I'm genuinely thankful that Holy Moly is back and survived the lockdowns, best food in Newark by a long way.

This is the best place for burritos for miles! Made to order right in front of you to the exact spiciness of your choosing. Guac and salsa are made fresh in house every day so are always delicious! Update since the move: Went in today to pick up a couple of burritos to take home and we were welcomed at the bar, the staff member was friendly and welcoming with absolutely no pushiness at all even when we were indecisive or when our child was getting impatient. The fox and crown was lovely inside and we immediately felt comfortable there, the selection of beers and ales was astounding too. Food arrived quickly and was HUGE . flavours exactly as I remember them and absolutely perfect. Cannot recommend this establishment enough , if my trousers would allow me to eat this every day I would. Will be coming back of an evening for drinks and sit down meal asap !

Dreadful service and food! Cold plates and cold food! Asked for no guacamole on one dinner and was told it would be on the side ( presumably in a separate little bowl) arrived with it on the plate touching the quesadillas. Absolutely no need for this. Food sent back and put back under the grill so salsa came back lukewarm too. Also saw several people sending back their Madri beer and ours was horrid too . Thankfully won’t be visiting again!!

It was a pleasure to again enjoy the food of Holy Moly, we previously enjoyed takeaways from the other venue. Food was fresh and tasty, a welcome addition to Fox and Crown, which we were pleased to see re-open late last year.We will be recomending to friends who have also missed having access to Mexican food locally

I was really excited to try Holy moly after hearing such good things, plus with a massive love of Mexican food and spending a good amount of time in Mexico. As a vegetarian I felt the menu was lacked options but I had the vegetarian quesadilla which was very basic and pricey especially when compared to the meat options which were £1.50 more. The guacamole was placed on top of lettuce to almost bulk out the portion. I also shared nachos which was small at best and came with liquid cheese rather than melted as described on the menu. Overall disappointing for the price and such hype i had heard on its return. Sorry 😢

Real fresh and tasty mexican food made by a real Mexican cooker. We had years without eat a burrito like that, it didn't taste like curry! (don't get me wrong, I like curry, buy "mexican" food in UK doesn't use to test like it should :) ) Thanks for the shot of Tequila Jonathan, we hope to come back soon.

ordered pizza`s & Quesadillas chicken. the taste was overwhelming salt! on all the meat & cheese ,so much so, it covered the taste of anything else. not sure these dishes, cooked like this originate from Mexico? more like Mansfield kebab house!

Had the steak quesadilla. Best I've ever had. Will definitely be returning.

The best chicken burrito ever. Thinking of moving to Newark so I can eat here every day 😁

Best burritos in the whole of the uk

Beautiful food with a friendly chef/owner who makes you feel welcome

Read good reviews on Google maps about Mexican food being served in Holy Moly and decided to have a meal there in afternoon time. Imagine how I was negatively surprised at the beginning of my dining out. Arrived from Nottingham to Holy Moly at 1.30 P.M. on last Tuesday and it was closed. They should have been opened since 12.00 according to their website and according to Google maps. No information explaining why. Only sticker... Closed.

Excellent food and sizeable portions, at a good price. The service was very friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. Perfect for a cheap meal when in town and hungry.

Great authentic Mexican food made with care! Our host made us feel very welcome and the meal was great value for money. Happy to support this restaurant and will definitely be returning again!

Cheap, good food with friendly staff.

Really great no frills Mexican. Service was quick, really good value for money, portion size huge! Really tasty, will definitely be heading back

Well first and I think last time we visited this place. It was only one person in the restaurant and he was the chef.. the menu was simple there wasnt loads of choices to choose from.. no table service, I needed to open my bottle of coke and he not cleared the table after the starter.. the food was ok, but I could cook much better food at home .. overall I payed 20£ for a bowl of nachos and a small pizza and two drinks.. waste of money I think..

What an absolute gem of a restaurant. Small and cozy but more authentic street food you couldn’t get. Extremely friendly staff who opened up for us ten minutes early for a lunch. The soft tacos were incredible took me right back to Cancoon 🌶🌶🌶😋 Highly recommend this hidden gem 🍻

We visited as a family late last Sunday and it was Outstanding!!! Friendly welcome. Great burritos, great quesadillas and the best guacamole any of us had ever had. I can't recommend this place enough.

First time having a takeaway from here... One word.... WOW!

Just had the steak one, 40 mins late which is tolerable but when arrived, absolute slop, will not be having again......

Had it few times when in town, would love for you guys to deliver, we're only ten mins away but we're out of range on just eat :-(

Perfect food for a winter's night! Their burritos are amazingly tasty, fresh & huge. Outstanding value for money. Really easy to just call up and order for collection. So lucky to have this place in Newark ❤️

What a lovely, friendly, amazing venue. Our family popped in for some dinner and were not disappointed. The owner was really friendly and welcoming and promised an authentic Mexican food experience and he did not disappoint. The food was fresh, flavorful and very filling. Can't wait to come back again!

Very good restaurant! The burritos are awesome 👌

HOLY MOLY! Wishing I lived in Newark cause I would 100% be a regular here, amazing customer service, had the chitpole chicken quesadilla and burrito.. DELICIOUS!

Jonathan, you're doing a great job! Yummy food in a casual relaxed environment. Highly recommended for tasty authentic Mexican street food.

We had booked a table for 2 people. On arrival, there wasn't a single other person there, but they didn't have the ingredients to make us a pizza each (no dough) . Really disappointing considering they knew we were coming. Went somewhere else.

Excellent food and very good value for money 👍

Though I’d give it try whilst in the area visiting family. Love Mexican food and popped in for takeout. Soft tacos are my favourite and not many establishments do them, usually offering the crispy tacos. Ordered 3 tacos, the owner/manager gave me 4 with a good selection of salsas and sauces. Although they’d run out of pickles, that’s no biggie. They were very good and would definitely recommend. Good selection of burritos, pizzas and quesadillas. Staff are super friendly, will definitely try again

We have visited holy moly a few times and have been overwhelmed by the amazing service and standard of the restaurant. The owner is always happy to see you and makes the experience outstanding! Not only is the food delicious but also very affordable. We will be visiting here again soon!!

Fantastic service. Fantastic owner. Fantastic food at good prices. Could do with signage to help explain the system on your first time. But overall... Fantastic

Gorgeous, authentic Mexican food, delivered locally if you want, very reasonably priced. We had gluten-free, vegetarian burritos and the pizzas have a great reputation here!

Amazing food will definitely be back!!

Excellent food. Quick service. Will most definitely be back!

Stopped off on our way home to pick up something quick for dinner. I had the pork burrito and my husband had the steak. Both were absolutely delicious. Service was fast, polite and friendly. Prices were fair. Perfect fast food. Will be eating here again next time we come to Newark.

Just the best there is, no question.

We went for lunch and were very impressed with the food. Authentic Mexican and absolutely delicious! Very nice gentleman prepared our meal and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely go again.

Limited menu but nice cafe with friendly atmosphere

Good food at reasonable price I am surprised the restaurant wasn’t full Excellent service - nice manager

Very tasty food at competitive prices never had a bad experience here and will visit again and recommend to anyone

Absolutely great realy enjoyed my chicken burritos

OK, canteen-like environment with small menu, enjoyed the burrito, would make a beeline after a night in the sauce

We stopped off here yesterday after reading the reviews on trip advisor and thought we would try this restaurant as my wife is Sugar-free,on having a chat to the owner and him telling us that nothing has sugar in we went ahead and ordered some food,we ordered Nachos and salsa for starters delicious,then a Naked Burrito,and a Normal Burrito absolutely delicious and 2 soft drinks,everything was perfect thank you 10 out of 10👌👍❤️

Just wow. Homemade delicious Mexican food by far the best Mexican I’ve ever had. 10/10 for service. 10/10 Quality of ingredients and 20/10 for flavour and taste of ingredients. Proprietor is amazing 👍

Really good, super tasty, food comes quick and the owner is very welcoming

Simple but very effective. Cracking, personal service and great food, too!

We did a detour from the A1 for lunch. Great place to stop for lunch. Tried burritos and quesadillas, both good!

You’ve got to go, the man behind the counter should be a movie star. Don’t take away, you will take away no experience. This place should be massively more busier with more people there making it busy, if you’re a fancy pants you need to remove those fancy pants and have some holy moly. If you’re a wetherspoon spoon try here please, that’s a wrap

I could eat that pork burrito every day!

Amazing food! Would definitely come back to Newark just for Holy Moly. Best Mexican I've ever had.

Small menu but everything was super fresh and tasty! I ate in and had the chicken quesadilla I chose to go for the hot spice. It was fabulous! It came with guacamole salsa and salad, all great flavours.

Newark is so lucky to have a PROPER Mexican place. Don't be put off by the under-stated and over-large interior of a mainly empty restaurant, you're here for the food, so get a take away.The burrito's are to die for, believe it from us who have lived in Southern California where Mexican food is like our Indian in the UK.This guy is genuine, modest and a just delivers authentic Mexican taste. It's not anything like your big chains and thank god to that!Please, please please (yes 3 times) support him because there are few people who stick their neck out and deliver the true taste of their homeland.Whatever you have from Vegan to his spicy pork, it delivers on taste. So, next time you're considering Indian, Fish n' Chips, Chinese, Thai or owt else, give Holy Moly a try and I guarantee you will love it.Happy Burrito's!

Have loved the burritos and pizzas and now I've tried the quesadillas. Why did I wait so long? Sooo tasty and served with a delicious fresh tomato salsa and guacamole. The food is great to take out but even better scoffed immediately at Holy Moly.

Amazing food! A must for burrito lovers! Steak, Pork or Chicken Burritos cooked in full view to produce a truly delicious & hearty meal. If you fancy something unique and want to awaken your taste buds, then Holy Moly is the place for you!

I am an American living in England and I have missed my Mexican food. I have tried places that advertise Mexican food and I have always been disappointed. Not with Holy Moly. I really enjoyed eating an authentic burrito. My husband found Holy Moly while we were shopping and I am so glad we stopped to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely eat there the next time we are in Newark.

Superb handmade pepperoni pizza. Made while u wait. Good value too.

Excellent. and very authentic Mexican food... first time here today and will definitely be back. Loved it!!!

Always great food and great value. We go back regularly.

We didnt expect to find somewhere so great in Newark! Excellent food and great service :)

Wow! Great service and even better food! Highly recommended! You wont be disappointed!

Really delicious and authentic Mexican food without compromises.

Alright food and handy being on just eat as can pay for takeaway by card. Been a few times. Food always ok - not amazing but alright. Would recommend as have ordered from here a number of times.

Really good food and has Mexican beers, well recommend

Amazing burritos and love the breakfast pizza

Stopped in here on the spur of the moment and was really glad we did. I had a steak burrito and my veggie other half had a quesadilla.

Love this place and the owner is amazing hats off to this guy its a must visit

Visited with the wife for lunch. Friendly welcome and run by one guy on his own. We would recommend this place to anyone. The chicken burritos are amazing.

A Mexican restaurant run by a Mexican!! This place is amazing! Where can you find true Mexican food in the UK?! HERE!! If I lived nearby I’d come here all the time!!

Hot fresh tasty food, Good value for money, friendly service

Amazing food and always great service, they are literally the best burritos I've ever found anywhere!

Just brought home a Steak Burriro, wow!..The Pico I made earlier to go with it is just not up to this standard. I'll buy my Pico from the Mexican guy who made this stunning Burito next time. Great Nosh here!

My friends introduced me to to this place the other day, as I’ve walked past Holy Moly many times but never had the opportunity to go in, and it did not disappoint! The guy who served us was very friendly the prices are reasonable and the food is amazing, honestly the best burrito I have ever had, the meat was really tender and I opted for extra Guacamole which tasted so fresh! Been recommending this place to all my friends and family since I visited, will definitely be back

The food here is of a quality of it's own level in Newark. It is authentic delicious and served with the most amazing service I have ever seen. When I travel and eat Mexican this is the stick I measure it by. The owner is an amazing guy with great customer service. This is a true gem of Newark and should be seen and tasted by all!

Best burrito I have ever tasted! Can't wait to go back again!

10 of us met for an 18th birthday and it was great. Both the burritos and pizzas were spot on. Nachos and garlic bread were lovely too. The guy running the place was a fantastic host.

The past few times I’ve tried to go here (most recently, at 1pm on a Thursday afternoon) the door has been locked, despite the sign indicating ‘open’. I did manage to catch the place open last week (at around 3pm) at which time the man serving looked inconvenience by my arrival. Upon arrival at the till I realised that this was clearly because they were winding down to close mid afternoon, no meat options were out and I ended up having a veggie option. I felt very unwelcome and rushed to leave throughout, and when I paid it turned out the prices had increased, despite all the signs and menu having the old price. Frankly, I’m not convinced that the service or food is worth the pound increase. I feel like he would be better served opening more often so people can actually come in and buy food, rather than charging more for the few people that make it through the door. I won’t be back.

Came with my wife and brother in law, had a pizza. Even though it’s not the signature dish. Blown away top 3 pizzas I’ve ever had. Had a burrito here before and was amazed at the quality for price. Caught up on my Spanish with the owner and was completely welcomed. Thanks again, see you soon gracias

Great place to visit for a relaxed dining experience. Food was reasonably priced and tasted lovely and fresh. Would definitely visit again.

Nice place in Newark close to the centre and great food that was reasonably priced really nice atmosphere as well with the music in the background and the charming man that served us. Like a little bit of Mexico in Newark-on-Trent will definitely be visiting again and would recommend it’s worth a try. Plus if you’re not into spicy that’s okay they have mild as well

Great place to eat with the family or even by yourself. 100% recommend. Food is wonderful doesn't look alot but it will defiantly fill you up

Absolutely the best burritos which I ever tried! love all of them! beef,pork and chicken burritos are just amazing! also staff i quite friendly

Ate in Holy Moly one lunchtime it was right in the centre of town but no problem to park. The cafe itself was very basic but the food was delicious & great value for money.......

Finally got around to trying this place and thoroughly enjoyed the nosh! Garlic bread with cheese to share as a starter and then I had a chicken quesadillas and hubby had a chicken burrito. Nice and hot and tasty with great friendly service. The only thing I found was that it was really cold sitting in there on a frosty January day, needed to go for a coffee at Costa's to warm up! No frills place, but tasty food.

Can't say I enjoyed it. Squeezey cheese on the nachos... fresh would've been much better. Had a burrito and quesadillas. The tortillas were very doughy. We ordered medium which I thought might be fairly spicy but didn't find it that spicy.

Fantastic food and always met with a warm welcome!

I’m so glad I found this place through trip advisor. I was after something different from English Pub food and boy did I get it! Genuine Mexican food, bursting with flavour and really filling. The place was quite quiet when we were there which was a shame. I hope it does usually get more people as I want it to stay open so I can go again!

Tried to book a table tonight staff rude on phone to us as we inquired if they were willing to take a taste card tonight (as they advertise on the taste card web site) but told NO that they done that anymore and hung up phone Very unhappy with customer service !!!! So will never eat there !!!! Manners cost nothing !!!!!

Hadn't done shopping and was fighting off and hangry partner. Two minutes on just eat and BAM! Best pizza in Newark to our door in thirty minutes.

Hands down the best Mexican food available for miles. Jonathan is so friendly and prepares absolutely amazing food for a very reasonable price

Pros: - Stunningly good Quesadilla, the best I've ever had - Good nachos - Friendly delivery driver - Good price Cons: - Slow delivery - Nachos slightly soggy rather than crisp, but still good Overall though a very good experience 4/5

Brillant meal and service is amazing as the bloke is a legend
