{antojitos} - NEWCASTLE WEST

Originally from Southern California just an hour and half drive to Mexico, I grew up eating the best and most authentic Mexican food. Since moving to Australia 4 years ago I have struggled to find a Mexican restaurant that made better food then the one I make at home, and well I have finally found it here in Newcastle. We had the chicken burrito, which was incredibly seasoned and juicy, and also the carnita nachos (pulled pork), which was absolutely beautiful. The texture of the carnitas was amazing one of the best I have ever had. Not to mention the tortilla chips, which tasted house made. Overall amazing food and great service! This place really knows the true flavours of Mexican food.

YUMMMMM... food is absolutely divine ... you can tell it's made with love. Everything about this place is authentic. Happy food, hip happy place, staff are super friendly. It's going to become a very regular happy place for me :-o)

Stoked these guys have finally made it into the city! And found a space that they’ve made there own. At first the space seems huge and overwhelming but don’t be daunted, the furniture, decor and staff make it feel personal and welcoming, love the Kombi at the front and the area at the back is great for kids. So good to have simple(looking, but let’s be honest, flavours this good take work), fresh Mexican in town. I think it might be the first time ordering ‘extra guacamole’ meant I ended up with too much #firstworldproblems. They also have a decent drinks list, I’m a sucker for cans of Tecate! We already knew Antojitos was good, now it’s just a little closer to town. We went on opening night and had a bit of a wait but nothing we didn’t expect. give them a chance to settle in their new space and enjoy some great food in a great setting.

Easily the best Mexican i have ever tried. All the stories you hear about how delicious it is, aren't true because delicious is not a tasty enough word to describe this awesome little place!! I tried the fish, chicken, pork and beef and it's too hard to pick a favorite just try them all!

I wanted another burrito even though I already had a food baby from the first burrito. My PT will be pleased I resisted (I didn’t resist by choice, the kitchen had closed for the night). Without a doubt, the best Mexican I’ve ever had Mexican is my go-to cuisine!!
