Square Meal review of Wahaca: ? Write your own review

With the opening of this third branch, the popularity of Thomasina Miers’ Wahaca brand seems stronger than ever – & it’s easy to see why. The buzz of the funky site, decked out in vibrant colours, makes it perfect for Miers’ unpretentious menu of well-crafted, good-value Mexican street food. Dishes don’t vary from the Covent Garden or Westfield sites, but with such proven options as grilled steak & pork pibil tacos, chorizo & potato quesadillas or black bean tostadas making their way across London, continuity is definitely a plus point. Order two or three dishes per person for swapping & sharing, or opt for heartier burritos, enchiladas, Mexican soups & salads. Service is friendly & efficient by turns. Everything arrives in a flash, making Wahaca the perfect lunchtime getaway – although you might want to save the excellent line-up of Tequilas for the evening.

After several unsuccessful attempts at obtaining a table at the Covent Garden restaurant I finally managed to try out the much raved about Wahaca at the newly opened venue in Canary Wharf. Upon entering its easy to see why it does so well with a carnival-like buzzing atmosphere and energetic and enthusiastic staff to match.

Diners are spoilt for choice with the ample menu which was easily deconstructed by our uber friendly waitress Glenda (as she announced three times) . I opted for the Fish a la Veracruzana whilst my fellow diners went for the street food dishes which looked vibrant and flavoursome. The fish, a sustainable pollock was beautifully cooked in a parcel with a tasty and nicely balanced spiced tomato, wine and caper sauce. Perfect food for the soul especially on a cold winter's night.

In summary, a night in wahaca reminds you of what simple yet well flavoured and appealing mexican cuisine should taste like and most impressively what good service should look like. Well done, I shall certainly be going back for more.
