• "We were second in line but they didn't acknowledge us even though the queue was increasing."

• "No one in our group raved about any of the food."
• "Food was cooked well but very average."

Ambiance

Pros:

• "The atmosphere at Wahaca is cozy and welcoming."
• "Very nice restaurant with interesting design, we sat down at one of the sunken floor tables."
• "Nice atmosphere."

Cons:

• "Seating was misguided as there was very little space for people to get through and constant ‘traffic’ running behind our chairs *sigh*."
• "The venue seemed a bit manic which is obviously good they were busy, but I prefer a calmer relaxing meal."
• "There is not much space between tables, sometimes it feels like you are eating with the people sitting on the table next to you."
• "It was really cold inside the restaurant."
• "Potentially the mice running on the dining floor destabilized the environment."
• "The toilets could be better too."
• "The place was half empty and didn't fill up for the entire we were there."

Value

Pros:

• "Prices a bit high but ok to try."
• "It is also really cheap and the QR code payment system makes it really easy to settle bills."
• "Really tasty food and prices were good, not over inflated."
• "Good prices, good portions!"
• "This is a great place to get delicious mexican food without breaking the bank!"
• "Price is reasonable."
• "The food quality price is impressive."

Cons:

• "I got food poisoning from here."
• "Including service charges this little lot came to just over £60 so not cheap but totally worth it."
• "Drinks are ridiculously expensive."
• "But expensive -£80 final bill for 2 tacos, 2 burritos, 2 side and 2 drinks with service charge."
• "Definitely felt it was overpriced for Mexican Street food."
• "Experience was a letdown by the excessive drinks prices. No draught beer and selling tiny cans at double the norm means we won't be going back."
• "I just want to add the service charges were high, it should be at the customer's discretion how much to pay, not make it mandatory and add to the bill."
