Not so long ago Las Iguanas came to Toon and it was obvious (mainly from the size of the queues and how long it takes to get a table…) that what the city really lacked was decent Latin American restaurants, So of course you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon the little gem that is, Zapatista.
Now you know that when I find something good, I like to share. So let me introduce you to Newcastle’s brand new burrito bar. It’s a pretty simple layout with whitewashed brick, Latino inspired murals, and long communal benches where you can enjoy your burrito. It’s basically like subway for burritos: they fill your tortilla with coriander rice, you choose your meat, add mild or spicy beans, pick your salsa from a range of spices and add a few extras. I opted for the chilli burrito with spicy beans, salsa, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and jalepenos. AMAZING. I got so excited about them, I managed to talk one of my mates into visiting the next day. He came back with the verdict (and delightful quote that I pinched for the post title..) that they were the ‘best burritos this side of Tijuana’.
Yum!! I wanna try! :p

I can't imagine living anywhere that lacked good Mexican food – it's my favourite, especially guacamole! Zapatista looks delicious 🙂

I know it is a bit odd, but for some reason there just aren't a lot of places up here that do it! Definite gap in the market x

Mmm Mexican food is the yummiest 🙂
Looks delicious!
Is it expensive? I'm always looking for nice and cheap eats in Newcastle for the days when I don't fancy my, unimspiringly standard, own salad!
it's not too bad. I think it's about £4.20 for the burrito but then I paid extra to jalapenos and guacamole so it came to about a fiver. I thought it was worth it though cos they're HUGE! x
In reply to your comment: yes they are teeth on my necklace haha!
This food looks so good xo
Ahhhh that burrito looks so good, it makes me want to grab one as soon as I get off work. We have burrito bars all over Texas, as one might imagine, and I never get tired of eating at them.
looks great!
