I found this mexican restaurant in tripadvisor and I must agree all the opinions I found here. The food was of the best kind. The style is not pretty mexican, but it's revisited and full of "mexican tapas", so that the big mexican plates are transformed in appetisers or very small sides/main plates. In this way ypu can try many... more

Mexican street food (in basically a tapas-style format) as well as larger dishes, about 50/50 for each on the menu. As it was my first time there and I wanted to try a couple of different things, I went with the street food. Tried frijoles with cheese and crema, huitlacoche and feta taquitos, and chorizo and potato enchiladas. Washed it... more

This was our third visit to Wahaca. We tried to go to the Covent Garden one once before but it was queued out the door (always a good sign in Covent Garden I think) so we went over to the Westfield one instead! The Covent Garden one isn't as spacious as it's Westfield sister but it's still pretty nice albeit... more

stumbled on this place whilst working in London, you cannot book a table but instead put your name on a list, not a problem off peak but this is a popular place! We had the mexican market food range, fresh, tasty and brilliant value for money. Would definately go again more

I was really sceptical about eating here as I am from TX and very familiar with both Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican cuisine. It´s not the best I´ve ever had but it certainly is the best I´ve had in Europe. Items on the menu are foods you would find at street festivals in Mexico, though maybe not cooked with a ladle... more

I have been to Wahaca a few times. First few times i loved it but feel its now starting to slip. On one of my visits i noticed that they changed the type of pork used for the Pork Pibil which was dissapointing as its now not as nice. I am guessing they are trying to save money! Since then... more

Was really disappointed - I had high expectations but found it to be very, very touist focussed and as such seems to let pretty average standards pass. Service was odd and a bit unpleasant, not exactly bad but really in your face - our waiterwas bascially a very pretty but not that bright public school boy who looked like he's... more

After looking for decent Mexican food in London for a long time, I was very pleasantly surprized to find Wahaca while on a my regular business trip to London. Wahaca serves Mexican market-style dishes in small tapas-sized portions for GBP3-4 each or larger plates in the GBP10 range. All of their ingredients are sources from within the EU and within... more
