Little Mexico in Northumberland

I was in the area for a few days and came across the restaurant on Google and I must say I was blown away by the service and the food. Don’t hesitate twice about eating here.

Everything was amazing. What a great place.

This spot is great for a casual lunch or early dinner. It only a little place with about 6 tables for 4. The food is wonderful! Very fresh cooked to order and good portion sizes. Pricing is very fair. The menu is not overly complicated the staff are attentive without being overbearing. You won’t be disappointed.

16 of us ate here the night before a family wedding. Perfect vibes - relaxed and chilled but with delicious food prepared to order right in front of us. Cocktails and wine selection also v good. Service excellent. Highly recommend for a gathering!!

Had the Mexican breakfast and wow! Beautiful fresh food, wonderful service and a lovely venue. Used to go here when I locumed in the northeast - now having moved to the other side of the country I find myself planning motorbikes trips around visiting this awesome resteraunt again. Honestly it's that good. Update. Just had the burrito for the first time (26/10/24) - place is still outstanding . Rarely do resterauts maintain high quality but this place absolutely does.

I stumbled on this restaurant on a Thursday afternoon and was immediately drawn to it's vibes. I felt perfectly happy and comfortable eating by myself (which is a hard thing to achieve in some places) and had the specials. It's hard to explain just how much I loved the food without swearing, but when I finished all I could think was "I need to immediately bring everyone I love here so they can eat this". The food is fantastic. Staff were lovely. Prices were fair. Currently awaiting my next payday so I can go again and go nuts.

On arrival this venue is small but looks quite authentic and is not part of a chain of restaurants. Will who is s the owner of the restaurant gave us a full run down of the menu and specials on offer. Even though the menu is not extensive like some chain restaurants there is enough to tempt you into some tasty treats. We ordered the Super Nachos and all the Nachos and tortillas are made fresh while you sit. The portion was great for sharing and came with ample toppings. Theses were delicious. For our mains we ordered the classic platter of tacos and burritos and Will recommended we have some mixed fillings so we could taste the overall range of fillings. He was right the Chipotle Chicken Tacos were amazing and we then had a Pork Burrito and a Beef Burrito. Because my wife likes her food a bit more spicy he provided us with some habanero sauce to add, should we need it. Needless to say the Burritos were delicious but we had to take half of the pork and beef one home as we were so full. We also took a double portion of the Pico de Gallo home also as it was once again knockout. The only thing that was a problem was the food looked so tasty we just dived in and forgot to take photos of our wonderful platters. The service was 110% as was the food and will return soon with our loyalty cards. Thanks team for a wonderful experience.

So tasty, quick service, lots of choice, flavours amazing Great service Buzzy music Can’t wait to come back here and breakfast looks good too

Nice food really nice food I only got a burrito but everything's homemade

One of the best food spots in Hexham. Great atmosphere and drinks too . It’s a little piece of Mexico !

Visited for lunch with 2 friends. What a lovely surprise. Friendly service and helpful recommendations of what to eat. Lovely cocktails Really tasty food. Good portions had to have doggy bag would most definitely go again

Found this little gem whilst having a walk around Hexham. So glad we did. My partner called in - booked a table for later that evening and it did not disappoint. The food was epic and the atmosphere fab. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Not only did we enjoy the food - the cocktails are superb too. A gem of a find.

Our first time visiting little Mexican, it really is as authentic as it gets. Beautiful food/cocktails, lovely friendly staff and great all round vibe in the restaurant! Even catered the menu to suit our children. Highly recommend and would love to visit again!

We really enjoyed the food here. I am vegan and the chef was really attentive in making me a delicious taco plate. The staff were also really helpful in accommodating vegan choices to their drinks and dishes. I had the cactus as a side which was delicious. Will certainly go back.

Great food, great cocktails, fantastic friendly service!

I rarely post reviews unless I really enjoy the place or experience. Exceptionally tasty food, amazing music, and so much laughter. I'm really sad I found this place 😭 as it is 300+ miles away from where we live. But really happy to have met Dan, Jen and the staff. I cannot say enough how much I enjoy our time. We stopped by once but accident and returned two days later on purpose (45 min drive). Buen provecho y cuídense muchísimo.

Went into Hexam on the bus for a bit of sightseeing. Saw this place and it was really busy, I left my number and the young girl gave me a call 20 mins later to say they had a table. Lovely atmosphere and really good burritos. I also had a mojiito which was very good.

What a lovely place to eat. Everyone is so welcoming and the food is ace and obviously prepared with a lot of love and care. The owner (and everyone else) was gteat with our 8 year old son and really engaged with him about his Amazonian home... what a fascinating chap! Thanks everyone, we'll be back whenever we're passing:)

Very nice and helpful staff, food came very quickly and was good value. For less than I paid earlier today for a heated sandwich I got more food than I could eat. Would definately come again.

Called in for lunch, very friendly staff who explained the menu options. Service was quick and the food was fresh, tasty, and plentiful. Opted for the sharing platter of tacos, burritos and nachos. Will definitely be calling again. Dog friendly as an added bonus.

Had a really nice meal on our short trip to Hexham . It was a Tuesday night but is obviously a good place and popular as was busy and was grateful that we got a table as was booked as we had driven all day from Essex . Lovely fun place - nice food and good atmosphere . Special Paella was excellent although I found the cocktails a tad on the sweet side but that's my taste . Staff were so lovely and friendly - could have sat in there all night just having a drink ! . Excellent value for money and a nice change to eat out . Really lovely vibes. Asset to this lovely town !

Warm, friendly service, quirky decor, all topped off with really tasty food, what more could you ask for? Hot chocolate from cacao grown on their family farm in South America? Yup, they've got that too! I had the Taco Trio; one each of veggie, Chipotle Chicken and Pulled Pork. Sides of fresh zingy Pico de Gallo, dark, earthy Frijoles and some nachos to scoop up all the bits. I'm sure I was heard moaning with delight on my first bite of the chicken.

Authentic Mexican restaurant. Great food and great drink selection. Great veggie option too. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I love the decor it’s bright and cheerful,

Called in on spec for quick evening meal, service was great food was spot on would definitely be back next time in Hexham

Love the food. The Staff are very helpful

Have revisited since we went 5 years ago (camping nearby) and the standards absolutely haven't slipped and everything was even better (actually didn't think it was possible). Kids loved the nachos, the tacos were amazing (chipotle chicken being my fave) and hubby enjoyed the burrito. P.S. The guacamole is 👌🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fabulous authentic little restaurant, the guys couldn't be more welcoming and helped us choose, and even cooked specifically to the heat we preferred..fully booked now till september! That tells you your in a great find

Great food and great service. Highly recommend.

Amazing 😍 coffee, very good food and great staff, well worth a visit

Made my grandson's 21st birthday celebration extra special. Food, service, friendly staff all great.

What a find! Who knew this great place existed in little old Hexham. Very friendly and helpful staff. The food was amazing 👏. Thank you, we will return!

Lovely place, very friendly staff and atmosphere. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes mexican! See you again

great food, great staff defiantly the best place in hexham for a meal

Came here all the way from north shields and was definitely worth it. Food and staff was amazing 100% be back. -Adele

The food was lovely and very filling for the pricing, while the building is a tad small, it feels very loving and the atmosphere is pleasant, built and decorated very traditionally. The food was quick and hot with a good portion for pricing. Lovely little place.

Lovely, lively little restaurant in a quirky part of hexham surrounded by independent shops. The staff were really friendly and service was quick. The food was absolutely delicious and my sons nachos looked amazing! Cacoa the waiter kept us entertained and added to a different type of dining experience

Absolutely amazing experience and brilliant staff and great food recommend 100% with homemade food will definitely go again.

Delicious food and margaritas, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. If I lived in Hexham I'd definitely be a regular here.

Super tasty food and wonderful service! Can’t wait to come back again!

One of the most exciting lunches we’ve had in a while! The food was amazing and the team here are fantastic. I’m just upset I was driving otherwise I’d have cracked on with the Tequila! The atmosphere was great too. What a lovely, friendly, laid back and welcoming little restaurant. Very dog friendly too. We all loved it and cannot wait to visit again.

Great hearty Mexican food, very reasonably priced and generous portions. Sadly we couldn't finish all we had ordered! Nachos could have been a bit better, seemed like just the nacho chips with not very cheesy sauce and nothing else - but maybe that is more authentic? Great burritos and cocktails. Staff lots of fun and really helpful- it was one of their teams birthdays so they surreptitiously talked to all the diners to get us to join in singing Happy Birthday as a surprise. A memorable fun evening.

Adoro la cucina messicana e questo posto mi ha fatto davvero sentire in Messico. Oltre alla strepitosa simpatia ed accoglienza dei ragazzi che gestiscono il locale, il cibo è buonissimo, super gustoso, perfino la paella (che non è proprio una specialità messicana) è incredibile. Bravi, bravi, bravi. Ottimi margaritas!

Very friendly staff and good food!

Excellent food,very friendly people in lovely little setting in beautiful Hexham

The paella was amazing, so tasty. Also had the house cocktail, coronarita, which was superb. Great service and atmosphere. Strongly recommend this.

A vibrant restaurant with friendly staff, great atmosphere and amazing food and cocktails

The service in here is the friendliest you'll find. Food is fab, fresh, tasty and zingy! Very good value for money, and don't leave without trying the coffee!!

Friendly staff. Food was great and we watched the chef making tacos after we ate.

Excellent food and even better service. Frozen margaritas where also very good

My partner and I enjoyed an authentic Mexican meal here a must for any Mexican food, lover. Polite and friendly staff made it a fun experience 👍

Amazing place. Amazing food. Amazing people. Can't wait to go back

Great place, great team, delivering amazing freshly made food & drinks, that were better than we have had in Mexico!!!

This was my second visit to the restaurant, on my own for a light lunch this time. I chose the Tuna soup with crispy plantains and was very happy with this tasty and delicious broth which was packed with tuna. To accompany the food I treated myself to the classic magherita, which I was told by Coco the manager, I could have for free if I failed to enjoy it! Little chance of that as it also was very enjoyable. I love the enthusiasm of the staff for the great food and their obvious pleasure when it is positively received. There is a laid back atmosphere with Mexican & South American music playing in the background and interesting foodie items to purchase for home cooking. If you find yourself in Hexham looking for something different from the norm, then I can thoroughly recommend Little Mexico, you won't be disappointed!

tasty & honest Mexican street-food, served with a genuine south american smile!

Little Mexico is exactly that ,its all authentic and will definatly be going back before we return home. My husband really enjoyed it which says something right there.. highly recommend!

The best Mexican food I've had since leaving Arizona 7 years ago!

Great little place, friendly staff, not a huge menu but very excellent food… and cocktails! Definitely worth a visit

Before I write this, background......I have travelled extensively through Mexico, so maybe my expectations were too high. I ordered nachos with pulled pork, side of guac and a smoothie. I had to ask for the guac, hence the low score on service. The nachos were so bland and portion was tiny, I hate to say that I can get better at a supermarket. Smoothie was watery and nothing special....the only good bit was the guac, however a thimble sized portion for £3? I had to double check I had the right place, as my experience doesn't align with the amazing reviews.

Fantastic! Easily the freshest and best tasting Mexican food I’ve experienced in the uk - don’t hesitate!

Great food (and margaritas) and really friendly service. We were made to feel very welcome and could quite easily return time again for a taste of everything else on the menu, but I would probably keep getting swayed towards the specials. Great addition to Hexham.

Absolutely first class. Proper food. Delicious. Not your average Mexican.

Great service and food. Staff were really accommodating for a last minute booking

Found this little restaurant when staying near Hexham. Beautiful and best mexican food ever had, very nice authentic cocktails. We had nachos, burritos and churros, all very tasty. Highly recommended and will definitely eat there again when in the area.

I love this little place! Great service, staff are awesome and always have a great attitude. Lovely atmosphere. Great food. Amazing cocktails, and smoothies, including daily specials. A shot off Mexican coffee sets you up for the day

Incredible artistic surroundings on a beautiful high street. Perfect service, delish food and wonderful flavours.

Fantastic, brilliant, superb. The food is amazing, the staff amazing, and the decor is very colourful. The BEST Mexican food (and cocktails) I've ever had.

Lovely food, well worth going out of your way to go for a meal there! The veggie burritos and nachos are particularly tasty, servings quite big. Daniel & co are lovely human beings!

The best Mexican food I've had in the UK. The guacamole is delicious with lots of fresh avocado and tomatoes. Had the three taco meal and the carnitas (pulled pork) was well seasoned and tender. It was clear all ingredients were fresh. Even watched them make tortillas! Everything was flavorful and seasoned without being spicy. The staff are friendly and warm.

Fabulous fresh food made to order. Definitely will be back

Happy welcoming place good food and excellent coffee and drinks ❤️

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and amazing food and drinks!

Great food, amazing cocktails, food made to order, piping hot super tasty and incredibly good value. Nothing to complain about. If you haven't been, why not? An absolute gem in the centre of Hexham.

One of Northumberland's hidden gems. Unique food, beautifully prepared. Love it!

Great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner a must for some good hearty food and drinks. Tacos unreal

Really nice meal. The waiter (I think owner) explained the menu and made suggestions. The waitress too our order and asked us what sort of heat we liked. All in all a very nice experience.

A fantastic place. Food, service and atmosphere all excellent.

We had lunch there for the first time, food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and informative. Will definitely be back!!!

Brilliant service by Coco and Will. I had the tacos with beef, chicken and pork and I think out of the 3 the fajita chicken was my favourite. Wife had the quesadilla with beef which she loved. The smoothie was also fantastic and you got quite a bit for the price. Best mexican we've been to!

Food was amazing and totally fresh, staff were really friendly and helpful. Totally decorated out for Halloween when we visited 10/10 for effort.

Incredible little spot with the most amazing Mexican food and warm friendly staff - A must visit whenever you’re in or around Hexham!

Fantastic food! Fantastic service! Will definitely be back.

I can definitely recommend the Tacos trio and the margaritas

Great food, freshly cooked. Have been about 5 times in last 3 months. Sensible prices and nice friendly staff

Came in with our one year old. They laid on a special meal for them to try. Great service, atmosphere and food.

We had a great time eating new flavours of delicious food and tried some cactus! our host Coco made the meal fun and we enjoyed chatting!

I'm gluten and dairy free so it's hard to find places to eat when I'm out. This place was fantastic! I was shown what I could have, and went doe the tags as they use corn and make them fresh so they what's in them. Friendly atmosphere and awesome staff, have been back a few Times and always a pleasure.

“Little Mexico” was a lovely Restaurant with a warm welcome and caring service…the Team made our experience memorable. Food was delicious. Look forward to our next visit…thank you very much!

Excellent food at reasonable prices and attentive and engaging staff.

Thanks for providing the excellent food for our monthly tapas club . The attention to detail from you and your staff ensured all 10 hungry men had a great afternoon. We all would highly recommend Little Mexico to our friends and will definitely return.

Little Mexico was recommended by a friend so we went for lunch. It smelled wonderful from outside. Lovely little place. Got a seat in the window. Coco is very enthusiastic about his menu and service. We chose a mixed platter with two tacos, two burritos and nachos. Washed down with a cold beer. We managed to incorporate all the different filling options in our meal. All we're tasty, authentic and filling. We finished with churros which were fab too. All round lovely lunch, great place, good staff. We will be back.

We had the most wonderful service and food here! The staff were amazing with our children too which made the whole experience even better. So glad we found it, thank you for a brilliant meal! Highly recommend

Lovely place, friendly staff and the food and berry smoothie, delicious 😋 thoroughly enjoyed it. Well worth a visit

Excellent tasty food. Staff were very friendly. Will visit again and highly recommend

Wasnt a lot of space but its so cosy and friendly, Amazing staff, amazing food, great prices.

Great value, genuine mexican street food with friendly service and colorful decor. Come for the food, stay for the Mexican wrestling on the TV 😊

Fantastic restaurant to visit if you are in the area. Friendly service and lovely fresh Mexican food. Would definitely recommend a side of cactus!

Amazing food and an amazing service!

Probably the best Nachos in the World, outside of Mexico. Brilliant Mexican food at a great price. Staff are really friendly. Thoroughly recommended!

Not one for writing reviews, but it’s nice to see a place using fresh ingredients and taking the time to make things by hand. Highly recommend.
