I have travelled from huntsville Alabama on the recommendation of my brother to try out this authentic Mexican food and I must say… The beef was tender, moist and incredibly flavourful. The cheese inside was almost fluffy. It was so delicate and melted to the perfect consistency. The spice level was immaculate. The beans on top were just a perfect addition to an already perfect collection of ingredients. 9.6/10 best quesadilla I have ever had

Had to wait till 1pm on Sunday for food which after doing the Newark half marathon felt a long time after arriving at 12. But food was definitely worth the wait, good flavours, well spiced and huge portions. Really good value for money. Pub was quiet, it was midday on a Sunday, but staff friendly and as usual with Castle Rock pubs excellent choice of cask ale and keg beers.

Visited a couple of months ago and couldn't fault the food. Another visit to try the Burritos that we didn't have last time. I had the steak as the Pork wasn't ready but when it came out it's was massive. I did struggle to finish it but wasn't going to leave any of it. An absolute gem of a place. Go on give it a try you won't be disappointed

This is the best place for burritos for miles! Made to order right in front of you to the exact spiciness of your choosing. Guac and salsa are made fresh in house every day so are always delicious! Update since the move: Went in today to pick up a couple of burritos to take home and we were welcomed at the bar, the staff member was friendly and welcoming with absolutely no pushiness at all even when we were indecisive or when our child was getting impatient. The fox and crown was lovely inside and we immediately felt comfortable there, the selection of beers and ales was astounding too. Food arrived quickly and was HUGE . flavours exactly as I remember them and absolutely perfect. Cannot recommend this establishment enough , if my trousers would allow me to eat this every day I would. Will be coming back of an evening for drinks and sit down meal asap !

Wow. Just wow. That burrito was the size of a bus and a taste sensation, can easily share and go for more menu delights!! Nachos full of cheese sauce, bit less and would have been 10/10 for those. Would 100% return, it's a great set up...notwithstanding the awesome beers to swill it all down with. :)

Had some delicious grub here today. I recommend the steak carne Asda quesadillas, served with salsa and guacamole. The chopped steak was tender, flavorful and there was plenty of oozing cheese. The skin-on fries were great too, crispy and perfectly seasoned. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu next time we're in Newark!
