All aboard for another first for Mexi Bean Express at Wakefield Westgate Train Station, serving up tacos, nachos, burritos and coffee guaranteed to fuel everyone’s journey.

This latest opening marks a big milestone for the Yorkshire-born brand known for its fresh, halal Mexican street food. Not only is Wakefield the first-ever transport hub location for Mexi Bean Express, but it also debuts the company’s quick-service restaurant “grab-and-go” model soon to be replicated by franchisees around the UK.

Founder Danielle Best explained: “With this model, the menu allows you to choose your own fillings and still get all the action-packed flavours you’d expect from a Mexi Bean Express! Think quick pit-stop, friendly vibes, and food that hits the spot every time.

“The QSR offering opens daily from 12–10 and welcomes commuters, locals and visitors on the move. Plus, just like our fast-casual model, customers can swing by, grab a feast, or let us deliver the fiesta straight to their sofa!”

As if the Wakefield launch wasn’t exciting enough, Danielle has also been named a finalist in the SME National Business Awards 2025 in the Business Leader – Medium (5-25 Employees) category. Reaching the shortlist through a public vote, she’ll be heading to the QEII Centre in Westminster on Friday 7th November for the awards night.

“To be recognised as a finalist in the SME National Business Awards in the same week as launching our sixth corporate location is an incredible feeling. It means so much that the public have supported us, and it’s a real boost for our team as Mexi Bean Express continues down the track of success,” said Danielle.
