Hola

Welcome to Tia’s Mexican Cantina – Durham

Serving Durham since 1996, Tia’s is an independent Mexican restaurant on Claypath, just a short walk from the Market Place and Gala Theatre. Our cosy, colourful cantina brings together freshly prepared food, frozen margaritas and a warm welcome. Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed dinner, a family get-together or a birthday celebration, settle in and make yourself at home.

Fresh Food, Big Flavours

From sizzling fajitas and golden chimichangas to enchiladas and slow-cooked ribs, our menu is full of favourites worth coming back for.
Start with something to share, including Tia’s famous Bloomin’ Rose—a whole battered onion served with dips—then find your favourite main and make an evening of it. We offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices, too. Please let our team know about any allergies or dietary requirements when booking and ordering, so we can talk you through suitable options.

Margaritas & Good Times

No visit to a Mexican cantina is complete without something refreshing. Discover our frozen margaritas, cocktails, tequilas, beers and wines, alongside soft drinks and alcohol-free choices.
Whether you’re catching up with friends or raising a glass to a special occasion, there’s plenty to choose from.

A Place to Celebrate

Birthdays, date nights, family meals and overdue catch-ups—Tia’s has been part of Durham’s celebrations for generations.
Our intimate restaurant combines colourful Mexican character with friendly service and a lively atmosphere. Bringing a group? Get in touch to discuss your plans and we’ll help you organise your visit.
