Tia's Mexican in Durham

[Stormo]

Yeah, pretty sure La Tasca used to be a Hogshead pub. I used to drink Hoegaarden in there, one of the few places that sold it in the early 2000's.
The Library Pub was Varsity.

Correct

 

[chriswallace85]

I used to really like the pub it was beforehand - Hogshead

Did they all go under or something, as they were a big chain

Fuckin' hell forgot that place existed. Anly went in once or twice.

The Buffalo Head was before Hogshead. It had a downstairs bit anarl.

You're right. I stand corrected.

 

[Durhamish]

The Hogshead was opposite La Tasca, where the Library pub is now. Or was there another Hogshead in the La Tasca space before that?

Wrong.... that was Varsity throughout my youth.

Hogs head was quality though (where la tasca is/was) used to show all the hooky football games

You're right. I stand corrected.

Ah, see you saw your mistake haha

It’s cheap and cheerful, my pals know the owners quite well so we get a bit discount and free tequila when we book a big table

Absolute f***ing rubbish, an insult to Mexican food, as bland a meal as you could ever eat.

I like Mexican food so when my Mexican mate offered to take me to his family's house for dinner I was proper excited. It was one disappointingly bland meal. I've never been so gutted after so looking forward to food. Perhaps they are staying true to what Mexican bait is actually like (or my mate's ma is just a dreadful cook)?

I was down there when someone let a CS gas canister off. People were blaming me for farting before realising it was even worse than that

I remember some kind of very old staircase at the back. Could have been the bogs though?

 

[Thackeray]

Wasn't the Buffalo's Head only really downstairs, it had like an open atrium above, think the ground floor floor was only put in after that. Could be wrong.

I went to a Mexican in Stockton down by the river a few years ago, I'm sure it was called mohujos or something... Anyone know if it is still there? Google reckons it's in Middlesbrough...
