    delicious food for affordable price. bear in mind waiting at least for half an hour at the weekends and peak hours. enjoy a glass of margeritha at the bar downstairs while waiting to be seated.

    Pork pibil is def a must-try along with black bean and cheese and the Huitlacoche quesadillas! Oh and don't forget to try the Tender Marinated Chicken Taquitos! Top it all off with a Virgin Mojito!

    A cool mexican restaurant. Loved their gaucomole with tortilla chips. The qasidellas were good too. For desserts, don't forget to order their salted caramel ice-cream and their churros.

    I had a really attentive waiter. Portions were surprisingly small but I had 3 (tacos, quesadillas and those rolled things) and with a desert that turned out to be enough. Everything was VERY tasty.

    Great atmosphere and vibe. Friendly and quick service. Food was really tasty - we had the Favourites Set Menu. Only issue - servings are very small - a set menu should fill you up!

    Fantastic, reasonably-priced Mexican food. Wonderful service. Non-veggies .. try the pork pibil, you will not regret it. They also have 2 fußball tables to use while yr waiting for a table. Perfect :)

    The plantain taco is a must try. A great fusion of flavours! The cocktails are as delicious as the food and there is a nice little bar area downstairs with a foosball table!

    Very nice 'adventure menu' that lets you try all different sorts of mexican food from the menu. They did came all at the same time, rather had had the different dishes with some time between.

    Love Wahaca! Pulled pork burritos and salted caramel ice cream are delish! The themed decor in this branch is wicked! Gets super busy so you may have to wait but it's deffo worth it.

    I live this place. Shame you can't book a table but the food is awesome. Tell your server how hungry you are so they can help work out how many dishes you should order.

    Tasty Mexican food good for groups and sharing. Taquitos, quesadillas, tacos. Good value. Easy to get a table The service was pretty slow & unfriendly, it was early evening and wasn't even that busy!

    Tacos and salads are delicious in here. As a tip; Do not during weekday lunch times. You can wait for a long time for your orders and your clothes smells like all foods inside.

    Fantastic selection for vegetarian and the most authentic guacamole I've seen this side of the Atlantic. The grow your own peppers seeds are a cute touch.

    Get here and order the Carnitas while they're still on the Winter Specials menu; as least as good as I've had in Austin, if not better.

    Been to a couple of Wahacas and usually the food is nice but they seem to want you out of there fast-ish. Not at this one though - really nice guy called 'Carlos' looking after our table. Good times!

    The sharer is great - fills 2x grown hungry man up and feeling healthy and meat-sweat-free after. Excellent value for money, delicious and nutritious.

    Great food. Place fills up, but fast service means waiting times are usually <15min. Always my #1 dining spot in the area.

    The only place as of yet to get good Mexican food in London. Related: someone should start importing salsa to the supermarkets. One would make a killing.

    Good Mexican food but the bigger meals are actually smaller than the half priced street foods. Also a bit noisy. Friendly waiters and refined cooking tough.
