I am primarily writing this review as a selfish American in the UK who has found a good Mexican place and doesnt want it to close. This place does great Mexican food and drinks, so please go here so it will stay open!
First, this place is a bit hard to find, but well worth a trip out to Sunderland (there are also other reasons to visit Sunderland, but this is the best one). Stairs lead down to a small restaurant from the main door. It is worth starting out with the homemade tortilla chips and getting a set of salsas. I like some heat in my salsa and some of the hottest ones really dont disappoint.
The food here is great and really hits the spot for a Mexican craving. Options include tacos and burritos. We each had a burrito, one pork one chicken. The problem I usually find with UK Mexican is that it isnt well-seasoned enough and generally lacks flavor. The meat and toppings here do not have that issue. The burritos were big and filling. I missed having something on the side, like rice and beans though. That would really clench it for me.
As for the drinks, there are tons of great cocktail options like margarits, mojitos, palomas, etc. as well as Mexican beer options like Modelo and Corona. read more
