Loved the classic look of the whole place, the food was made quickly, the food was full of flavour and the drinks were nice and cold and refreshing. Definitely will visit again.

We’ve been a fan of Birria Bella since its opening. We’ve always loved popping in for breakfast after a dog walk (breakfast burritos - yum!!) We were very excited to try the new menu at the new location, the Punchbowl Hotel, and it did not disappoint!! so much so we’ve already ate there twice and they’ve only been open a week! The new additions to the menu mean there is something for everyone! We got a munch box, which we found to be really good value for money, and being able to choose from a selection of tacos was amazing. The buttermilk chicken taco is unreal, and of course the original birria meat taco! The cocktail menu is fab too!! Highly recommend; fabulous food, drink and a lovely atmosphere, and super dog friendly too! Already looking forward to our next trip.....

Are here as part of a group on Sunday afternoon. What a lovely place. Staff friendly and accommodating especially as we had a few pre order mix ups. Tacos were lovely but I’d definitely get some side as well next time as was still a little hungry. The burritos looked amazing and the loaded nacho portion was massive. It’s a great place to chill out really nice atmosphere and I’ll be back without a doubt. Thank you

Without question the best tacos in Newcastle. Restaurant is small but speedy and the staff are super friendly. The only thing that could improve on this hidden gem and titan of the North East Mexican scene is if they had a spicier salsa/some decent hot-sauce for the table!

Fully loaded nachos and fries with meat were freshly prepared and so delicious! Never disappointed with any of their food. Always a warm welcome . Tea, coffee and soft drinks available. Dogs welcome with treats if wanted. Small amount of seating inside with more outside.

Went for food today for first time will not be the last. Tacos and loaded chips were amazing. Good cocktails and a sun trap out side seating is superb. Staff super friendly. We are going to try the breakfast next time.

We have been wanting to try this place for ages so we booked a room in Jesmond to stay and enjoy our night. 5 star totally amazing did not disappoint and the food was out of this world. The staff were amazing and we had some sneaky cocktails. Our photos don’t do it justice we will be back soon thank you.

First time visit to this Jesmond taco place and was blown away, the food far exceeded expectations. When you say tacos you think you know what to expect, but the ones we ordered (meat for her, mushroom for me) were a cut above. The shells (imported from Mexico) weren't soft and they weren't especially crispy, they had a nice bit of a fried crust as who l well as a little chew; I've never had them like that before and they were delicious. The fillings were generous and well judged and the consomme "for dippin and sippin" were a touch of culinary genius. If we were looking for faults, I'd be disappointed as there was none, luckily we were looking for great food and that's what we got. Excellent value too.
