Square Meal Review of Wahaca ?

Ex-MasterChef winner Thomasina Miers now oversees branches of her popular canteen-style eatery in Soho, Canary Wharf & Stratford City, but the Covent Garden original still continues to lure diners with its colourful surrounds & ‘delightfully authentic & flavoursome’ Mexican food. Platos fuertes (larger plates) cover burritos, salads & grills, but it’s more fun to share a selection of small, vibrantly spiced ‘street food’ dishes such as pork pibil tacos, chorizo & potato quesadillas or crispy tostadas topped with zingy shrimp & scallop ceviche. Orders are dispatched when they are ready by staff who are ‘up for a laugh’, & Miers’ admirable attention to provenance & sourcing even extends to a noteworthy list of sipping Tequilas & mezcal. No bookings, but you can at least enjoy a properly made margarita while you wait.

    Snacks and Such :: Wahaca, Southbank

    Wahaca is the creation of Masterchef winner Thomasina Myers, who is not a Mexican. She hasn’t yet noticed, and in the meantime has been busy opening a chain of Mexican restaurants across London...

Thomasina Miers

Wahaca’s Chef - A resounding success as the 2005 winner of the BBC's MasterChef,, Thomasina Miers followed up her victory by writing two cookery books, Soup Kitchen & Cook, before launching the informal Mexican venue Wahaca in Covent Garden back in early 2007. The restaurant was an immediate hit, & a second site opened at the Westfield Centre in Shepherd's Bush in late 2008, followed by a third in Canary Wharf in late 2009. After stints as a VAT consultant & a model, Miers attended a three-month course at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, then worked in food store Villandry in Great Portland Street, helping to set up its wholesale bread business. Following her success on MasterChef, she travelled extensively in Mexico, finding inspiration for the street food-inspired dishes that are the staples of Wahaca.
