Wahaca (Covent Garden)

• Great place to sit with a few friends and enjoy a selection of the street food dishes with a few drinks
• Great atmosphere with a good buzz
• Not tried any of the deserts yet (they do look excellent) but there are plenty of small ice cream parlours in the area for a quick one afterwards
• Wahaca (Covent Garden) is a blessing for vegetarians
• Their food is generally great across the board
• The drinks are pretty good too
• The only bugbear is the exasperatingly long waiting time
• The restaurant is somewhere I visit often with family and friends
• I was very eager to try them so was excited to pay a visit to the Covent Garden branch last Thursday night
• My diner and I started with a Margarita and a Pacifico while we perused the new menu
• The Chicken Tinga was smoky and had quite a kick with the chipotle adobo sauce and the Cactus Taco was sweet from the cactus
• The Summery New Potato Taquitos were delicious and the potato really melted in your mouth and worked well with the crunch of the taco
• The Chicken Taquitos is a favourite of mine and is similar to the new potato topped with shredded lettuce
• Cheese and fresh tomato salsa but with really tender
• The star of the dishes on the night was definitely the Broad Bean &
• Feta and mint with broad beans and new potatoes was mouthwateringly amazing
• Just writing this is making me want to have another one right now
• Onion and garlic was extremely tasty
• The sweet potato was almost like pudding
• Is a buttery pancake topped with vanilla ice cream
• Dulce de leche and sprinkled with caramelised peanuts
• I am more of a savoury than a sweet person and this was perfect for me as it wasn&rsquo
• The new menu is as wonderful as the old menu and Wahaca remains somewhere that I will be returning to time and time again
• It is remarkably reasonable and the service is always attentive and quick
• They are opening a pop up on the South Bank this summer along with a Breakfast Bar and Market Store and I cannot wait to try both
• A perfect place to head with your friends
• Since the entire sitting area was downstairs
• Finger licking good food with friends in a &lsquo
• The steak taco was quite bland in comparison to the other dishes we had
• The cheviche was beautiful if you like seafood definitely try it
• The food tasted lovely although I wish the portions were a bit bigger
• We ended the meal with some churros although I wasn't a fan
• It tasted really oily and the chocolate sauce that came with it wasn't thick enough
• I've always been hesitant to visit Wahaca as it seems like a cheese less Mexican chain and let's face it nobody is disappointed with a layer of melted
• Getting our food orders/deliveries for the rest of the meal was somewhat slow
• Lots of little sharing plates and nibbles which is quite nice on a date
• Margharitas are delicious with the right amount of salty kick to them
• Decked out with green palm trees and a yellow and blue interior to mimic a horizon
• I can safely say they were so filling I could hardly finish them
• The restaurant was too busy for a relaxed meal
• I ordered the fish tacos which were plump and lightly battered and fried a plus for me
• The cabbage slaw filling was delectable
• Though the cheese was a bit strong for me
• My dining companions and I polished off our dinners with two orders of churros (greedy
• Visited here with a friend and really enjoyed the food
• The free chilli seeds to take home and plant are a really nice touch
• The service is fast and efficient
• The Mexican chocolate tart was hard as a rock and there was no hint of chilli
• The tres leche cake was stodgy and dry
• If you are a burrito fan then you should definitely try the burrito here as they are bursting at the seams with flavour
• Wine or have a couple of cocktails on the menu if you are after something to have with your dinner
• Staff are always really friendly and have electronic note pads so your order is sent straight to the kitchen
• It also has a cool decor with colour wall decorations and lights hanging from the ceiling
• Told we would have to wait 20/30 minutes but we were seated within 10
• I went here in the afternoon and it was not very busy
• Relaxing ambience staff very Friendly will be coming here again with family and friends great for any occasion
• The experience was out of the world
• Loved the tacos and everything that we ordered the ingredients were very fresh and loved the mix of all of the components
• The flavours are wisely combined and the food is very fresh
• The ambience is awesome and the waiters are polite and helpful
• The variety of the food at wahaca is just phenomenal
• Being a vegetarian isn't easy when it comes to eating out but the Wahaca experience was an exception to this
• The Mexican food here was so good that I returned to try their menu time and again
• If the quality is anywhere similar to what the real Mexican food is like
• The beef itself was so over cooked to a point that it tasted like rubber
• Chicken taquitos were also underwhelming
• Wahaca's cooking is far too standard for my liking and at that kind of price (£
• Its very nice decor and very friendly service and the street food served nicely but some of them are lack of flavour
• One of the best Mexican restaurants in London
• Even though it is in one of the busiest areas
• The quesadillas (especially chicken) are a must have
• The burritos are a complete meal so order wisely
• The portions were a bit small considering the prices
• The ambience was great but the seating arrangement was a little squashy
• In this country all too often Mexican restaurants are associated with big group parties
• When Wahaca burst onto the scene it set about to change all that with its Mexican Street food menu
• Tortilla chips with tomato salsa for nibbles
• A special guava drink (with tequila) was on the table menu which I do not remember but was really good
• Comes in a tortilla bowl and the marinated chicken and both were really good
• I literally came back from NZ to eat Wahaca and was a bit let down this time the Soho branch has dropped the ball slightly
• 30 pm (late by London restaurant standards) and were welcomed with warm smiles
• We ordered the frijoles with chorizo and a slow roasted pork burrito pumped up with cheese and a few other toppings
• It was refreshing with just the right zing of chilli
• Good food option if you are down in the area for theatre time
• Definitely the best one in the group i have been to so far
• We sat outside and it was a very pleasant and satisfying dinner
