Wahaca Mexican Restaurant (Covent Garden, London)

We went here based on the solid reviews in Time Out and other local magazines and the promise that this was something new for Mexican food in London, unfortunately I wish we'd contacted them in advance as their website advised that their chef would deal with individual eater requirements and take these into account, perhaps we misread it but having travelled up to London on a 3 hour journey for a day trip, we found the place disappointing. Where is it? Its based on Chandos Place, its about a minutes walk from the Covent Garden main square and is around 4 minutes walk from Embankment and Charing Cross tube and railway stations, its brightly ...  Read the complete review

Wahaca Mexican Restaurant - London My husband and I love to eat and I mean love to eat, starters, mains and dessert whenever we are out for dinner so when I stumble upon a great restaurant I always have to share my experience with others. Having lived in Southern California for a while I am a huge fan of Mexican food and am rather disappointed at the choice here in England for good, proper Mexican food. I had read about the Wahaca in the London paper about a year ago now but only just got around to trying it a few weeks ago and I was very very impressed.
