   Large booth style table for 5 was offered in the corner but the downside was that we were directly under the speaker and then couldn't talk properly. Service was fast to start but we waited far too long for dessert. The table water bottle had seen better days and had some dirt in the bottom. Too much ice in the drinks, you get less cocktail for the money and they are not cheap at £15.95 each. The Wahaca for One was a good lunch order for £15.95 with a choice of two tacos plus nachos and dips. One of our party ordered the chicken taco and got beef instead. The toilets were untidy with discarded tissues and water spills. Overall we like Wahaca for the location and the food but some aspects could be better considering the prices.

   Unfortunately the only part we enjoyed was the nachos. Service was poor, waiter was rude and overall food taste wasn't great. The drinks were mostly ice in our glasses and watered down. Hardly any drink. Overall would not recommend clming here.

   A lovely evening with friends at Wahaca, as it was a sunny day we sat outside, having a view of the River Thames topped it for us. Food is nice with lots of options, you won't overeat as the portions are just right. Staff are friendly and there's a good vibe in the restaurant. It's also a perfect spot if you want a pre-theatre bite to eat. There are stairs to get to the restaurant so it's not accessible for everyone sadly. I do definitely recommend visiting.

   Food is consistently delicious. Margaritas both alcoholic & alcohol free are the best ever. Had a great bunker table for a family of 6 celebrating a birthday. The service was fast and appropriately attentive. Noise level was high on our visit as lots of families with young children & babies.

   Fantastic food (so many good vegetarian and vegan options) and wonderful service, with great views of the Thames. Highly recommended. The vegan churros were a highlight! Thanks for a great meal.

    We had a selection of delicious tacos: beef, chicken & avocado and halloumi. All were outstanding. The passion fruit margarita was perfectly made. Our waiter Chris was helpful yet discreet. We sat outside in the sunshine for the first time this year and the whole experience was fabulous.
