If you want a quickie lunch? Head to Zapatista Burrito Bar. It’s literally a Subway inspired fast food place located just off Northumberland street in Newcastle.
You literally head in, choose the type of food you like, the fillings, salsa and maybe a drink to go with it.
Other options include tacos and it wouldn’t be a burrito bar without burrito haha!
I can’t handle really spicy food *go figure* and they do have the mild option but if some of you crazy folks like it really, really hot, go for the top option! 🙂 and they also have 2 types of hot sauce on the tables if you wish to dine in.
It’s quite affordable but bear in mind that if you are paying by card, they will charge you 30p if I am not mistaken so bring cash!
Tried their new quesadilla dish and oh my freakin god…it is to die for! Cheese and toasted tortilla with pulled pork and salsa with some peppers……seriously what more do you want?!? *heaven*
p.s- it takes an extra 5 minutes longer cause it has to be toasted obviously

Hey! I’m Courtney from WhatsupCourtney, I set out to create a blog that brings a whole lot of adventure to our readers. Instead of the traditional influencer and Instagram travels that you normally would see, I am trying instead, to show you the real, raw, and exotic side of travel and a whole lots of food that goes with it. Because I believe food is part of the country culture and needs to be tried and shown proudly.
