Mexico 70

Went here with my Son for dinner before going to the theatre and it was excellent! The young lady who greeted us & looked after us was totally outstanding! A good choice of food on the menu and they catered brilliantly to my rare food allergy. Food was not only cooked to perfection but absolutely burst with flavour and service was efficient!! I look forward to returning soon!

I thought I’d missed my chance to go here but I’m glad it’s reopened. - Nice margaritas - Grilled peach and mozzarella salad was an absolute treat - I would have preferred a thinner slice/smaller chunk of fish in the ceviche - the tacos felt light on toppings. The meat was cooked well. The miso duck leg was my favourite, but none of the tacos blew me away. All in all, a bit meh, but a good option for the area.

Cool Mexican tapas place with ok food. I feel like the idea of the place is better than the execution. It’s lovely inside with a good atmosphere, but the food was meh. We got the salsa and tortilla chips for starters, and I got a range of vegetarian tacos whilst my partner got the meat tacos. I didn’t particularly like any of the vegetarian tacos, the seitan was undercooked and the texture was awful. I think using different meat alternatives would make it better. My partner liked the pork tacos, but the rest were just okay. The tempura broccoli was awful really, just broccoli coated in heaps of soggy batter. We really enjoyed the smashed garlic potatoes though, they were spectacular. The salsa and tortilla chips were good too. Overall, the sides were mostly great and the tacos were just ok. The atmosphere and decorations are lovely inside though. Service was pretty good too.

Definitely a cool mexican restaurant with nice funky interior. Food was okay, nothing really blew me away, however, i think each taco was carefully thought out and had a nice blend of flavours. My favourite taco the chicken one and the thai beef. Trio of salsas as a side was nice but again nothing special. Did have to wait a little for our table but didn’t really mind.

Third time visiting yesterday, basically tried the full menu by this point. Can't recommend this place enough. Food, drinks, service and atmosphere have been faultless every time. Impressive 3:2 meat:vegan taco ratio, without skimping on vegan options for sides and extras. In my experience, it's rare that a restaurant that has so many meat options that they execute vegan dishes to an equally high standard (my partner is vegan). The tacos themselves are well and truly the main event with each encompassing bold flavours, with every element balanced - no flavour or component being lost in the mix. The menu is definitely Mexican fusion, with alot of Asian inspiration, but we're here for it. We're always impressed, and will continue visiting from Durham when we can - it's worth the journey!

Great food as always, I’ve been a frequent visitor since 2019, great food again tonight, got in early before the theatre rush. Service on point, drinks good. 3 tacos each and some lovely padron peppers shared, a little bit of confusion over the final bill as it’s restaurant week in Sunderland but nobody mentioned this. So we expected 3 tacos for £13 which is the usual Tuesday deal. But never mind, all was sorted by a friendly and proactive manager who was keen to resolve the issue very quickly and efficiently. Sometimes service can be judged on how a situation is resolved and this was a great example of customer service by one senior member of staff. A great restaurant as always. This may sound a little strange, but sometimes there is be need to be defensive, someone might be trying to do the right thing.

Really, really good food. Cocktails were excellent and interesting, and the service was spot on. The soft shell taco with pulled beef was unreal! Really good vegan options too. Only thing I'd not order again was the guac -£6 for a few nachos and guac when you can get more chips or another taco for less!

Such a cozy atmosphere, on a lovely street, food is tasty and being served as tapas means you can try loads of different things and they are all fantastically presented. Slightly on the expensive side, but a fantastic local business worth supporting 🩷
