"We went to Mexico 70 one evening before going to the football at the Stadium of Light. It's a nice small restaurant, but it's best to make a reservation as it doesn't have too many tables. What stands out about this place is the wide range of vegan options available - half of the tacos and three quarters of the side dishes are vegan. This is quite a rare find in meat-loving Sunderland! The menu has recently been updated, so some items mentioned in older reviews may not be available anymore. Unfortunately, they no longer have loaded fries, but there are still some tasty options to choose from. The taco fillings are not just traditional Mexican flavors; they draw inspiration from other cuisines such as onion bhaji tacos, Korean-inspired tacos, and BBQ jackfruit tacos. My personal favorite was the buffalo cauliflower tacos - they were delicious! While I enjoyed the food, I did find it a bit pricey, with each taco costing around £6. You can expect to spend about £50 for two people (excluding drinks) as you'll need at least three tacos each and a couple of side dishes to share. Update: We just found out that Mexico 70 will be closing next month, with their last day of service being February 24th. Be sure to enjoy their tacos while you still have the chance!
