Little Lobo in Newcastle upon Tyne

Nice little place. We booked a table for 4 we were waiting on a member of our party for some time. With pressure from staff to order our food for the next table coming in. They didn't actually turn up so the pressure to eat and leave quickly was there for no reason. We ordered a lot of drinks and food wanting a calm evening with friends catching up and eating.

Friendly and welcoming staff and the food is excellent. The best and most authentic place of its type that I’ve ate from in the area. Recommend.

Food is delicious but service is diabolic! Whitley Bay is so much better 👌

Had the breakfast menu veggie tacos. Very yummy especially the hash browns. Good for if you want something a bit different to the usual breakfast/brunch places. Food was cooked well and fresh.

Tasty food, lovely staff, quick service. Would highly recommend.

Food incredible, staff lovely. Can't speak too much for atmosphere as it was empty when we went but can imagine it's jumping when full.

Deserves every 5* review it has. The food was fantastic, portions were great and staff were helpful even if they were running around constantly!

Lovely mexican restaurant. We had loaded nachos, lots of tacos and an asada. All delicious! The margaritas are fantastic too. Service team were friendly.

Thank you for a lovely evening Wednesday, fab food, service, atmosphere and Margaritas, definitely see you very soon x

The food was delicious, they have a very nice deal for lunch. The staff are also very friendly, would definitely come back

Lovely place! With the burritos you get corn chips with a stunning dip. They’re loaded full of flavour so it makes every bite enjoyable. Prices are fair, not cheap and not expensive but they’re priced just right for what they are. The wait times vary on how busy they are, but when it’s been a while they’re sincere about the delay :) The staff and team are so lovely and go above and beyond for their customers. As desert we got the ice cream taco to share and it was fantastic! Full of flavour and has the quality to back it up. would massively recommend to anyone looking for something different to your usual tea!

Had a hearty shrimp burrito. It was tasty but not special. Nachos Surely a key thing in a supposedly Mexican place was the worst. Couldn't eat them. Hot sauce was hot but not tasty. Fries were like poor frozen chips frankly. Cannot recommend and wonder how it got such high ratings which drew me.

It was unusual, interesting and delicious!

Excellent little new find! Food was brilliant, tasty and stands out from the Mexican places we’ve eaten at. Special thanks to the young lady who serves us who provided a great recommendation on both dishes. Service was very friendly. Tacos trio and the steak piece sandwich was amazing! You don’t pay the ends of the earth for quality food here. We will look forward to coming back! From the bubble glass lovers!

Great little Mexican restaurant. Everything good at a reasonable price. Porsions we're decent and some good drinks too.

Arrived without booking a table (didn't know we had to) and the staff were just incredible. They found us a table and proceeded to bring out plate after plate of incredible food and awesome portions and suck a welcoming atmosphere. I'd highly recommend dining here, but save the staff the trouble and book a table first.

Super tasty food highly recommended! Little lobo is a little gem for Sandyford!

Lovely spot. Good food. Frozen margaritas were fantastic!

Visited based on very good reviews by other people...it was nice but it didn't quite live up to expectations. Food portions were small for the price. I had the vegetarian camote burrito which was tasty but the feta cheese delivered a more pungent goat cheese like flavour than I was expecting. Personally, I feel like halloumi would complement the other flavours better, but that's just opinion. For what has the feel of a street food place with a chilled atmosphere the 10% service charge automatically added to the bill was irritating. I asked for it to be removed but it's awkward nonetheless.

Lovely food, great atmosphere and friendly staff and always got a table we we dropped in for a meal. However had two lots of issues when we tried to book, first time we arrived slightly early and although there was seating available , they asked us to wait outside (it was pretty cold as well) as our seats weren’t ready. We waited 15 mins and then were giving the seats that were free 🤷🏻‍♀️ Second time, we had booked online and when I rang to on the day to confirm numbers, I was told the online booking didn’t work and we couldn’t get a table! Was offered the option of going all the way over to Whitley Bay, which we declined as friends travelling over from Durham area and too far. We then decided on takeaway as it was a Friday and everywhere was busy and drove passed the place to see it wasn’t even full!! Haven’t been back

Great food and service. Lots of gluten-free options.

Had a take out from little lobo last weekend via ubereats/deliveroo. Food was very tasty but the steak tacos which is what I was really looking forward to the most were disappointing. The flavour was there but the tacos fell apart in my hands and were very wet. More than happy to give it the benefit of the doubt as everything else was fantastic.Next time will eat in and im sure I can update this to a 5 star review :)

It's a great place! Even if you are outside, there are heaters up top. The food is great! Out of the group, we liked the shrimp tacos and the asada steak quesadilla (pictured but eaten halfway it comes with 4) There is street parking, but it's very limited.

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. definitely recommend

What a great place! Lovely atmosphere and decor, really nice staff. Quick service and food was excellent. 2 glasses wine, cocktail, beer, 4 mains and 2 desserts, £100. Great value. We'll be back x

Very expensive, I thought it would be like the food in Mexico, the tortillas fall apart, the tortilla chips and the guacamole are good. Good service from the staff.

Absolutely incredible authentic Mexican food, had asada burrito and frozen margarita. This place absolutely destroys Chucho's in Byker.

We frequent quite regularly at little lobo, the food has always been beautiful, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Delicious tacos with plenty of filling (especially the asado one) and friendly staff! probably need at least 3 pairs to share for 2 people if getting tacos

Wow the food from here never fails to impress. I love the carnitas tacos in particular. Great service from all involved.

Great Mexican. Friendly staff and tasty food. The drink options were amazing with the margarita specials

Popped in on a whim and loved it! Great atmosphere, food and service. Highly recommend!

I am Mexican and I must say that I am impressed with the taste of the food. Super friendly staff and delicious food. Super recommended.

Friendly staff. Very delicious food😋😋😋

Delicious food and the lunch menu was a good deal. Would highly recommend their tacos. Good service, nice atmosphere

Very nice tacos, corona on tap 👌🏻

Would have bought more drinks, if asked. Also not much selection as new menu apparently

The tacos here are something else! Particularly loved the chorizo tacos. Service from Ellie and Alice was amazing and the music was great as well. Highly recommend!

Bit pretentious but the lovely food makes up for it. Try it, but "Nee Trainors Allowed" Just a joke. Try it.

Lovely and cozy place to grab a taco 🌮. Yet the tortillas were quite crumbly and all the stuffing was falling off the plate. (Either not properly stored and gone dry, overcooked or not enough fat added to them). And no napkins or cutlery were on the table. The margarita was nice. Classically frozen.

Fantastic food at a really reasonable price.

Nice place really friendly staff. Got takeaway steak quesadilla was lovely.

6 of us out for family birthday and everybody happy. Very tasty food, good service and good value for money.

A sizeable service charge is added to every order. This was in spite of poor service - they didn't seat us until 15 minutes after our arrival, yet were very keen to remind us that they would need our table back in 10 minutes near the end of our meal. Everything we ordered came with handfuls of diced red onion - a very overpowering and cheap filler. There are plenty of alternative great local restaurants who offer great service, great food, and don't charge this.

I haven’t been to many Mexican restaurants here, but this one leaves me with a good impression. They have friendly staff, nice interior design, clean tables and seats, and high-quality food. I have been to Mexico and I would say their tacos comparably isn’t too bad. The beef tacos could be cut into smaller dives, but the pork tacos taste so good. The churros are a bit too crispy but still good. Highly recommend it and will come back.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. For 2 people we had tacos as well as chips and guacamole to start, then we had a burrito special and a chicken quesadilla. All the food was lush and margaritas were perfect

Great restaurant in Sandyford. Would highly recommend.. Great food and excellent service

One of the tastiest mexican restaurants I've ever been too, I loved the flavours of the tacos, highly recommend trying a few different tacos in one sitting, they're fresh and light and well balanced with flavours!

I would recommend this place to anyone, really good food. I'm from Manchester and we don't have anything nearly as good as this place.

Really nice burritos and chips. Jarritos Guava soda the best pop a've ever had by a mile! Staff really friendly and helpful, nice decor too. Woulda given food 5 stars if burritos had a bit more salad and salsa, but was still better than lots of other Mexican places. Dogs allowed in an' all. Yay! 🙂

Amazing food, 100 % the best tacos in town. Tried their tartas (burger) versión and they are to die for. Would come back in a heartbeat.

went in on Saturday, absolutely amazing service, both girls (red head and brunette bob) were lovely and super attentive. I have dietary requirements and they took a moment to go through the menu and help me out. food was also gorgeous. can’t wait to return! slay

Great food and good atmosphere. Service was good, but took a while for food.

Having lived in Texas and Los Angeles for nearly 20 years, I've had good Tex-Mex, and my wife and I can say this is spot-on in taste and authenticity. Far better than most places we've been to across Europe and even South America. And the staff are, like so many servers in the North, extraordinarily friendly and accommodating. A lovely experience.

Probably the best Mexican food in Newcastle

Top notch! The continued love and quest to find the best tacos really hot the mark here 🙌 Delicious food, reasonably priced, yummy margaritas and great staff. Highly recommended 👌

Really nice food only downside was only frozen margaritas, not the regular cocktail.

Unbelievably good Mexican food full of flavour and a fantastic twist on the reliable churros dessert. Every bit as good as their main restaurant in Shields. Just let down by ludicrously high London prices in Sandyford!

Lovely fresh tacos, friendly staff, good vibe about the place. Will definitely return next time I'm in the area.

Food was great. Really sensitive to my crustacean allergy. Margaritas were fantastic. Great experience.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Food was out of this world. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough. Next time I visit Newcastle I will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious! Recommend the corn riblits

The inside looks really cool and is really well done, small but works well. The food was...fine. We love Mexican food but both thought the food here was average in flavour profile, and even the hottest salsa was not spicy. Staff were friendly and nice although the order we got was wrong. Overall, it's fine but we felt the food was average and we wouldn't go back again.

My expectations were high based on previous reviews, but I ordered the Carne Asada which is salad with beef strips and was disappointed. The dish had an overpowering amount of coriander and vinaigrette, making it impossible to taste the steak and ruining the dish. When the waiter asked how everything was, I expressed my dissatisfaction, and he apologised sincerely and offered to remove the service charge. However, I felt that his service was exceptional in every way and did not want him to suffer in terms of tips, especially since the kitchen was at fault. So I asked him to adjust the bill accordingly. I plan to give Little Lobo another chance and hope that the owner takes this feedback into account.

Brilliant and tasty Mexican food in cool neighbourhood location. We found our meal really flavoursome and the portion size generous. Good value and trendy interior.

Newcastle generally doesn't have great Mexican food. This place greatly improves the situation. The food is good, served fast, and staff are helpful. It's more cafe like, rather than a formal restaurant, but well worth the visit...

Cute little place which serves nice food, at a reasonable price. Although there’s a few places to sit it’s often best to book.

An excellent stop off for me on my walk into town. Frozen Margaritas are super refreshing and the food is really great

tremendous food definitely be back

Uber Eats is best delivery option. The picture of the menu in photos is not up to date. Great food!!!

Great place with fantastic food and really lovely staff. 🙌

I really could not recommend this place highly enough!! The tacos here are so fresh and tasty, they're probably one of the best Mexican food places in the north east (if not the UK). Fairly small inside so may be a good idea to book ahead on the weekend if you want to get a seat!

Great service, and delicious guac. Ellie was a star!

Really delicious food, Ellie was a star. Will definetly be back !

Food is superb and the hosting/service is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended.

Just the best burrito and fries. Great staff lovely atmosphere 😀

It's one of the best places to eat in Newcastle. Their lunch deal is at a fantastic price. My go-to place to recommend for people, especially because there are mixture of spicy and non spicy. So everyone can enjoy it, can't wait to go back.

Good food, and 5 stars for the margaritas

My favourite tacqueria in the North East ❤️

Best burrito I've had in Newcastle, and the chips come in a hefty portion. Would recommend

Ordered on Uber Eats. Food was great - makes a change chips arriving crispy and not soggy. Definitely order again.

Visited here on the reccomendation of my son, and couldn't fault the burrito I had . It's nice to find somewhere serving an authentic Mexican menu.

Incredible service, incredible food.

Great food, super tasty, great staff and very reasonable. What more could you ask for. Quiet tonight but I'd imagine when busy the atmosphere will be good. Fifty to sixty quid for 2 people but that's with cocktails

Really nice little place for authentic Mexican food. It was very good. Staff nice too.

was there in October, both food, service atmosphere Staff wonderful. Highly recommend for relaxing refreshing dinning experience

Just like (a funnier) home, adding delicious food and unforgettable margaritas. And wonderful music!

Really decent portions and full of flavour. Friendly staff.

Food was great delivery was especially swift ..the food was very fresh & great quality & cooked to perfection 🤤

I've just had their Asada Torta. People drop yer plans and eat at Little Lobo. The price is amazing the quality is incredible. How have i not known about this place before. It's worth every penny. The bread is crunchy the steak is well done and in a serious ammount ❤. I wish i could express more of my amazement of how good their food is. Go to the restaurant if you can if not order in the vegetables the bread the meat its amazingly paired together and it will be the best money you've spent all month.

My new favourite Mexican restaurant. Just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Newcastle in a quiet residential area. The place is small and serves incredible tacos and Mexican sandwiches. The pulled pork (carnitas) and chorizo tacos are so tasty and my wife had the steak sandwich. They have frozen margaritas on offer too which are 2 for £12 and the staff are so lovely. Highly recommend!

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and friendly service. Will be returning next time I'm in town.

Outstanding Mexican food and Margaritas. My place yo go when passing Newcastle and the service is great. My family love the food. Highly recommended 👌 👍🏼 👏🏽

Actually is class. The pork burrito brilliant.

Awesome experience. Tasty food with plenty sauces. Really helpful advice from the chef. We will be back 100%!

The staff were fantastic, and even though we were running late they were still polite, professional and attentive. The food was small portions but didn’t matter as the flavours were great and surprisingly we felt full afterwards. Recommend for authentic Mexican food!

Went for lunch on 13/04/22 for the first time as it opened. The salsa's all tasted incredibly fresh, the sauces were refreshing and the tacos themselves very tasty. The only complaint was the fries, which were very poor, but everything else was the polar opposite of that, the steak and prawn tacos especially were absolutely gorgeous, the chips and Guacamole was fantastic (and so much Guac!) Will definitely be going back!

Amazing authentic tasting tacos. The frozen margaritas were great too! Definitely recommend!

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting Little Lobo for lunch. I enjoyed a vegetarian burrito and service was good.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, lovely service
