Newcastle Mexican restaurant Antojitos claims to serve up 45,000 burritos and 35,000 tacos every single year—so you should book for this one. The much-loved restaurant dishes up Cali-Mex street food classics in a massive industrial warehouse with no-frills space, red plastic trays, and paper plates amplifying the low-key taqueria vibes. The house-made, stone-ground corn tortillas are the real deal, and used in the burritos, tacos, nachos and mulitas, which come filled with juicy carnitas or braised beef, beer-battered fish, grilled chicken, or marinated tofu.

Bringing a taste of California-Mexican to Newcastle, Antojitos is as much about tacos as it is about fun. Born and raised in Watsonville, California, co-owner Eric Flores spent most of his life in a coastal farming and surf town, rich in Mexican culture. Lowriders and family barbecues left an indelible mark on Flores and after establishing a market stall in Newcastle in 2014, he’s been sharing that part of himself with equally eager taco fanatics.

The LA-style taqueria has grown from humble beginnings as a market stall to a full warehouse-sized venue.
