Wahaca Covent Garden

The service was amazing, attentive and very kind but the food was nothing special, kind of felt like a fast food even though the atmosphere is really nice. i can recommend the slow cooked brisket burrito which was really flavourful but the side of chips could also be more than 5 chips. the chicken bowl had 2 small pieces of chicken as the size of 2 fingers. the flavours were great but the portion size is ridiculous. it is kind of cheap for london prices but i think you can eat better at that price. keep in mind they also charge you a service fee which you can remove if you ask for it.

This is a great mexican restaurant with super friendly staff and fabulous food! there is a lift down to the basement level where the main restaurant is, which is a great addition for accessibility, however the doors downstairs don't open automatically and as there is no space to turn around in the lift, it was very awkward for me to get into the main restaurant in my wheelchair. other than that though, we had a great experience. the staff were lovely, helpfully showing me to the accessible bathroom and discussing the vegan menu with us. the drinks were also amazing! 🍹

A really enjoyable experience. came as a group of 7 for a late lunch/ early dinner on a sunday. very quiet when we arrived but the service was still good. 4 of our party opted for the favourites set menu for 2 which was a real winner for us. i loved the range of dishes that come with this, especially the pork tacos and sweet potato bravas. dishes came out promptly on the whole only not 5 ⭐️ as a couple of our items ended up missing meaning some of the party waiting with no food, though this was remedied quickly when we asked the servers.

Vibrant mexican street food in london🇲🇽🌯🌮 i love street food and usually skip mains. why? coz’ i can eat more different dishes 😂😋 @wahaca has a range of nibbles & small plates and it’s defo for me😍😍 what i got mexico city nachos set menu ‘favourites’ for 2 - pork pibil tacos - buttermilk chicken tacos - treatly farm chorizo - halloumi al pastor tacos - organic squash & feta tostadas - cauliflower bites - tenderstem broccoli for meat lover, highly recommend the pork pibil which consisted soft, tender and juicy pulled pork. for vegetarian, i loved halloumi al paster beautifully combined tomatillo and pineapple salsa. as they were very busy during lunch time, 3 of us were squeezed in a table for 2. too many dishes too little space. as all the dishes came in one go, we had to stack the plates😂 follow me on instagram @ccgyozalover for more delicious food😋

Well… being american, we assume we have the best tacos, because of course america is intertwined beautifully with its mexican and hispanic neighbors and their contributions as americans themselves to a thriving food culture… i was surprised to find the tacos at wahaca to be so darn good!!! it’s definitely not “traditional” and that’s fine, it’s the modern age; it ought not to be. the melody of flavours in the tacos here are gorgeous! the decor and aesthetic of the space, it’s all charming enough and gritty enough. maybe a bit too “hip” for its own good, but tame enough to not feel out of place amongst the air of cool vibes… i went to better restaurants while visiting london but tacos are hardly a five star 3 course. this is mostly as good as it gets without being a taco truck on the side of the road in the yucatán… drinks are watered down, totally needs to be more generous for the price, it’s quite obviously a money maker for them, and that’s a shame. don’t believe me drink a few and walk a straight line outside. i’ve been 3 times to substantiate this! cheers…
