So much flavor - I don't have enough positive words in my vocabulary to praise this restaurant. My friend said she loved the chicken cheesy plate and it was her first time trying Peruvian food. We both had the pisco sour, on the recommendation from the server. It was also excellent. Quite the hidden gem and I hope more people discover this delicious treat! You will not be disappointed.

You then choose your meat (veggie options including a nice chilli are available) to top your chosen base item. Then the magic happens and you can choose from all sorts of toppings including sour cream, guacamole and a wide range of salsas. I would really recommend this place at lunch, although be prepared to wait in a queue. The burritos are impressive and you will definitely be full after one! Some of the positives include: - Great variety - Friendly staff - Cool Decor Some of the negatives include: - Lack of space - Toppings are slightly overpriced and have noticed an increase in skimping on size I love Mexican food so have waited a few times before reviewing so I can make up my mind - I was unsure wether this place seemed amazing due to the lack of Mexican alternatives in Newcastle. However it is definitely worth a visit!

If these aren't the best tacos in the UK, I'll eat my hat (my sombrero?) They are amazing. I'm…read moreAmerican, and I'd be thrilled with tacos this good back in my home country, so finding them in the UK is particularly special. I've never had a bad bite here. They do everything right. Barrio Comida is a small restaurant built in what appears to be an old shipping container by the river. They have seating for about 25 people in their cute, colourful shack, but you can always take your food to go. They have a regular menu as well as some unique specials, but whatever you order is guaranteed to be fresh and fabulous, with flavours that simply can't be found anywhere else in town. This does not compare to any other local restaurant claiming to do Mexican or Latin American food. This is the real stuff. If you don't want alcohol, start with an agua fresca - the mango and lime was juicy and delightful, tasting just like fresh fruit. The chips and guacamole are unmissable - incredibly fresh avocados, and crisp 100% corn tortilla chips (I am not calling them crisps in this instance.) The tacos come out as they're ready, so you may eat at a different time than your dining companions, but also the tacos will be fresh to death. The oxcheek (cabeza) is my particular favourite, with incredibly tender and flavourful meat topped with tangy feta. The ensanada is made of gloriously crispy fried fish and copious amounts of slaw, and the carne asada is absolutely gorgeous steak. I've tried nearly all the tacos over the months but those are my favourites. All the tortillas are 100% corn and fresh made (as they should be, none of this flour tortilla nonsense), and the menu is safe for gluten-free folks except the fried fish taco and one of the salsas. Tacos range from £2.50-£3.50 and 3 fill me up, but hungry boys usually get 4. All hail Barrio Comida, may they never leave us. I always hear loads of American accents from the patrons when I come - my countrymen who crave wonderful, fresh, Mexican food flock here and surely aren't disappointed.

You won't normally find me in a chain restaurant but Las Iguanus always delivers really great food…read moreand is an ideal choice for groups of people due to the variety on the menu. The happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails after work are certainly appealing too! Las Iguanus offers authentic Southern American food, catering well for vegans and vegetarians, and with the option of tapas style dishes which I personally love as I'm often indecisive and a bit greedy with eyes bigger than my belly. On my latest visit however I went for the vegetable chilli which was lovely....just the right amount of spice and a generous portion although a bit too much rice in my opinion. My friend and I took advantage of happy hour and had a Mango Collins which was simple but delicious and refreshing. The layout of the restaurant seems to work okay but the table we were sat at had a constant thoroughfare of people passing by which was a little frustrating. One lady even walked past so fast that she knocked my drink over....luckily my reflexes were on fire and I saved my beloved alcohol as well as my outfit! The service again was okay but you could tell they were very busy and so not as attentive as other restaurants I've eaten in.

Visually the place is amazing, definitely the best looking restaurant I have been into in a long time. Great selection from American,Mexican, Indian,Chinese, Japanese & amazing dessert selection. Quality is not the best but what you would expect from a massive Buffett - slightly greasy but defiantly not the worst Buffett I have been into. Caters for even the fussiest eaters, vegetarians and a selection for kids. They do a happy hour on there cocktails. Great family place and overall a great place to go when you don't know what you fancy. One of the highlight is the dessert selection with the chocolate fountain!

You give the chef what you want in a plate (mushrooms, noodles, veggies, etc) he stir fries it in front of you with whatever type of meat you want. I chose the thin noodles they were to die for. It was my cousins birthday and they put a candle in a cupcake for her. Good customer service. Especially because its a buffett so I was amazed at the level of service. Empty plates were being taken from our table fast. Great food!!!

Not my favourite place to drink in Newcastle. For starters the place seems to be falling apart and…read morethe music is always far to loud. The other thing I dislike about this place is the unsavoury characters you get in there. The drinks aren't the cheapest and they occassional have some good offers on. The toilets are always filthy but that could be because I only ever go quite late on. There are very few seats so it's only good if you want to dance, but even then the dance floor is a bit on the small side. The music selection is good though. It's in the centre of town, not far from the Big Market and opposite a 24 Hour Mcdonalds if you have the munchies when you get out. To get to it, you have to go down some winding stairs which isn't very good if you're already very drunk!

Good news as you get served prompt, check your change out of a fiver, cheap chi chi's on sunday then about turn onto the dance floor. Empty also so a good ol knees up. The toilets are always spotless on the day of rest, partly due to the cleaner from whom you can buy lollipops and lynx. 'No spray - no lay' and the fact that lights arent on. All in all a good rump of the night, as we head off to the gate.
