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."

"Delicious food, great service and friendly staff. They served a group of 8 very well. Loads of seating available. Everyone loved the food - menu caters very well for a vegetarian audience. Food was amazing - I’d highly recommend the plaintain taco - their best. Drinks were also good. The staff showed loads of energy and were very helpful. Impressed with everything about this place. Easily accessible as well - quite central. reasonably quick service as well, they made a nice thing about the birthday too which felt good"

"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…"
