Wahaca - Covent Garden

66 Chandos Place, London, WC2N 4HG

This venture by Thomasina Miers, former Master Chef winner, is exciting as it takes its style from a Mexican food market, which can be a challenging experience. A lady with a social conscience, Thomasina has seen to it that the interiors are largely constructed from recycled materials, and that ingredients are locally sourced wherever possible. What she is most importantly doing is debunking the notion that Mexican cuisine is all about fiery food that rips your throat out, washed down with equally ferocious brews that make tequila seem like lemonade. Fresh, seasonal and vibrant food is served alongside refreshing cocktails, Mexican beers, affordable good wines and fresh aqua frescas. Enjoy sharing a range of street food dishes such as pork pibil tacos, potato taquitos, ceviche and chorizo quesadillas.

REVIEWS OF Wahaca - Covent Garden

SS (29 March 2009)

I didn't know anything about Wahaca before I went last night, but I had a thoroughly great night! We only had to wait half an hour for a table of 14 and on a Saturday night. The staff were really helpful and the food was reasonably priced and tasted great. We ate the ‘street food’ and all shared which made it a very sociable meal. I would definitely return.

Vladi (10 March 2009)

I have been in Wahaca this weekend and I love the place. It's full and noisy as a market place should be. The members of staff are cheerful and very helpful. They even told me that what I have ordered, not knowing the food, was too much for one person, which I found very nice. The place is crowded but you don't mind because of the atmosphere. I do not know how they managed to make their beef steak so yummy. Prices are very good, considering they are in central London. I hope this will not change over time. The only downside for me was the club music they played most of the time while we were there. PS: Try the tequila with the shot of spicy tomato juice - it's great.
