This quirky little burrito bar certainly brought something new and innovative to Newcastle. The arty but clean-cut themed styling really fits their vibrant Mexican menu. The lunch bar style format is rapid and effective, obviously lending itself to the lunchtime rush. The mix 'n' match style menu is fast, fresh and zesty....exactly what you want as an alternative and flavoursome lunch. Combining spicy prawns, sweet shredded pork or spicy shredded beef with your favourite form of tortilla based vessel is certainly a novelty. And everyone loves a good bowl of nachos. They even offer a few highly complimentary commercial Hispanic beers. The only issue that doesn't sit right with the Fat Spoon (and this is a big issue), is the measly portion sizes and lacking in meat quantity. It would be acceptable if their meals were marketed as cheap fills, but pushing the price tag well over a fiver with just the inclusion of a drink is simply too much. There are better and cheaper lunch time marvels in Newcastle. And the 'extra hot' sauce isn't even hot enough to cause you trouble the next morning. Weak. All in all, a great concept, that has fallen short on delivery. 56%
