    It was 3 years ago that I last ate here and was overdue for a return visit. Coming back this time a…read morelittle wiser; not opting for their Big Ass burrito challenge. Two more burrito challenges have been added since AND a dessert one. Finish and get your picture on the wall. I shared Amarillo fries to start. Curly fries with a cheese sauce. Didn't look like much sauce at first but it had gone to the bottom making most of the chips underneath soggy, which was a shame. The crunchy ones on top dusted with seasoning were yummy. My enchiladas were a decent serving with Cajun spiced corn on the cob and fragrant rice that was more rice than fragrant. Yellow rice is not fragrant if it tastes the same as normal white rice. $6 for a small side serving of avocado was too expensive. I tried my partners nachos but the beef topping tasted... manufactured. Like Mexican or bean soup from a can. The service was fast. We couldn't book for two people. They only take group bookings. Joining the Wests Group that evening gave us a 10% discount.

    Situated inside West Leagues Club in New Lambton, surrounded by the awful amount of poker machines,…read moreand people destroying their loves, the Cantina Mexican Restaurant is an awesome place, and in the better part of the building. The Big Ass Burrito Challenge is cool, even though you don't get any reward for finishing something that most likely cost them $2 in wholesale rice, but is awesome nevertheless. Recommended simple place to go for Mexican in Newcastle if you don't mind walking through miles of sad people on pokies. Here is a video from the Symon Craig show of a friend of mine eating the Big Ass Burrito http://vimeo.com/92429300

    The service is shocking !! You may wait for ages to even be looked at…read more The sangria was lovely and when we asked the waitress how come it tasted so different to your regular sangria she said it was because they used a different type of wine then when we chatted with the owner she said it was because she uses juice . Wow .. hopefully the staff can get better educated on what they have in the restaurant. We asked for an entree that included avo however was told it had to come with sour cream mixed in FYI ( that's not a true Mexican guacamole) so the vegan couldn't eat it and we were told they didn't have time to make more !! I don't recommend this place at all. Also, terrible pricing !

    So my wife and three little boys and I went here on a Wednesday night because we couldn't find…read moreanything open and to be fair it looked inviting. Boy were we wrong. It is to loud to have a conversation for a family restaurant. I received my food and in front of the waitress (the one brute spot for this place) I proceeded to pull out a long blond hair that was inter tangled into my food. I understand these things happen to I did not through a fuss. All I asked us that they take it back and credit it me for the plate on my bill. Not what happened, they offered me a new one which I decline (sorry lost my appetite) and just asked for it to be removed from my bill. It was not, when I went and paid I brought it up again not be a pain but just to be fare. The poor waitress had to take it back to the cook (can't call him a chef after tonight) and he said the bill stands. I recommend that you do not go to this restaurant if there are any other choices to be had.
