I have been to Wahaca three times now and each time I have come away thinking it can't get any better! The food has always been delicious, there was one dish that was wrong but the right one was brought out with an apology and we were told we could eat the other one free of charge (which was great because it was delicous as well!) The service has always been fantastic. Took my veggie friend once and there were plenty of options for her (including a feta,broad bean and mint burrito which was incredible). In fact I am running out of nice words to describe the place - just ignore the bad comments and GO! and no-one makes you wait 90 mins idiots - you choose to! It shows how popular it is anyway which is always a good sign.

I am Mexican descent and this place ain't great. Screwed up our order several times. You want authentic Mexico got to Green & Red or Mestizo. You want tourist crap for fat Americans - here's your place.

I disagree with the negative comments.

The wait can be a pain but just go and have a few beers and come back. for what it is, this place is awesome.

Cheap good quality food with friendly service.

I loved every piece of food we had and we ordered starting out what I thought was a conservative amount of food. We were stuffed (though I did manage one more sneaky dish).

Glass of wine, couple of beers and 6 dishes for less than £30. Can't complain.

My girlfriend and myself were really looking forward to going to this place, as when we'd passed by it previously, it looked like a fun place with good food. However...

As a vegetarian, I don't eat meat (funny that!). Yet this was something that the kitchen and staff at Wahaca seemed to have particular difficulty understanding, as they not only served me a main meal that I hadn't ordered, but also one that contained pork! Since this was presented in a burrito, I didn't realise until I had eaten some of it, which was a surprise.

This was bad enough; but amazingly, even after I had told them and agreed to wait a little longer for what I had actually ordered, they AGAIN gave me a meal that contained meat! - This time, though, it was chicken... Perhaps they were working their way down from larger to smaller farmyard animals, and they would, had I not left, eventually worked their way down the food chain and served me some vegetables!

This rather unique gastronomic experience was made even more interesting by the audible bad feeling that was taking place between a member of the kitchen and the waiting staff.

The vegetarian options weren't even that great in the first place, but I decided to stay and give it a try... What a mistake that was!

I went to wahaca about 2 months ago on a saturday night. Me and my boyfriend had to wait for 1 and a half hours for a table, they told us that, that was good for a saturday night. I understand that it is a table in london but the fact they told me that was a short waiting time! When we did get seated the food came out quickly and it was really nice food. They explained the menu well to us. They did mess up one of our orders but sorted it out quickly. I would go back to this place again

Where do I start? The 90 minute wait for a table, the rude sitter, the cold, over-cooked food or the left-over food on the table we were (eventually) sat at?

The food is good and it's great value for money and the concept of no-reservations is great (works for Busaba), but on the visit the service was atrocious. We arrived and were told we had a 40 minute wait, but to go away and they would call us. They didn't. We came back anyway and had to wait longer, we only got a table because we kicked up a fuss to the manager. The food we received was cold and the sweetcorn overcooked and tasting like rubber.

Great idea, on-and-off food, totallly rubbish service.

K179 has obviously never been to Mexico or even eaten Mexican food before. Enchiladas, properly made, will always be described as "soggy". And yes, chorizo is very much a traditional and beloved part of the Mexican cuisine. Fajitas are Texan (or TexMex), not Mexican. Wahaca does an excellent job and is probably the best Mexican restaurant in London.

I agree with the last reviewer, I thought Wahaca was great - food, decor and service. I went in a group which is probably more suitable than a romantic dinner for two. We all shared from a selection of street food. The food was good quality, freshly prepared and great value for money.
