Motel Mexicana

Motel Mexicana is Newcastle’s vibrant home of bold flavours and Latin spirit, transforming Mosley Street into a fiesta of colour and taste. The space bursts with Mexican-inspired design, lively energy, and the warm welcome of a place built for sharing great food with friends. Every visit feels like a celebration, with the scent of sizzling spices filling the air and the buzz of happy diners all around.

The menu is a feast of Latin street-food favourites, starting with Colombian chorizo served alongside warm arepas, and mini empanadas filled with chicken or spiced tomato and onion salsa. Small plates steal the show with crispy patacones topped with barbacoa beef or smoky lentils, chilli-garlic camarones al ajillo, and golden calamari with garlic sauce. For heartier bites, there are loaded nachos, cheesy quesadillas, and bursting burritos layered with fresh pico de gallo, avocado salsa and coriander. The tacos are the crown jewel—whether it’s tender birria beef with consommé, Baja-style fish with slaw and chipotle, or veggie heroes like mushroom enchiladas and smoky lentils. Sweet endings come in the form of churros dipped in Nutella, waffles piled high with fruit and ice cream, or a playful Eton Mess. Every dish is bold, vibrant, and made for sharing—or not.
