    The ground floor is for people to eat and upstairs to drink. Personally prefer upstairs - really quiet and relaxing. They've a football table and the bartender was friendly.

    Been to nearly every Wahaca and this is the best, fantastic service and a brilliant upstairs bar!

    Best Mexican restaurant chain in London. Pork pibil is awesome. Menu changes with the seasons - try the spicy cauliflower cheese in winter - awesome!

    Everything here is amazing but you gotta try the beef shin & chicken avocado tacos. Also the Wild mushroom empanadas!

    The mezcaleria bar upstairs is great while you wait for your table - this is a popular place! Good food and service, loved the spicy guac and my fish tacos.

    Street food is great if you want to try a few things, get three each and share. Bar up stairs is nice too. Chilled place to go after work.

    Definitely try the sweet potato taquitos. The fish tacos were pretty good too. And go for the plantain fritters over the churros for dessert

    Wahaca now doing breakfast at Charlotte Street! Yummy Weekend brunch with huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos or migas :-) the avocado smoothie is superb.

    Kid friendly and nice staff. Tacos are the best thing on the menu. Guacamole is just ok and not made to order. Don't bother with the salsa, though their bottled stuff is fantastic.

    Very busy at lunch time. Recommend booking or getting there early. Food was good and reasonably priced. Try the sharing menu for £19.95.

    Wahacito is a downgrade from Wahaca. While the level of attention is still as good as in Wahaca, dishes here are untasty and portions are smaller. Dissapointing at best.

    Good food with Below average service. Very casual. Ordered well done steak and got a cold medium. Overwhelming menu in a tiny small font in dim light.

    Good atmosphere, but they hover over you to release tables and when we wanted to order more drinks after our meal they said go to the bar so sadly we left on my birthday cos Bar was too noisy!

    Big disappointment: I ordered taquitos and tacos and were dry (especially the tacos). But at least they have a great guacamole...
