    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.

    The team were great from front of house to table. We were very late for our booking due to unexpected transport delays. The manager at the door was fantastic still managing to squeeze us in while dealing with a busy que. Friends joined us above our booked number and the manager accommodated with a smile. Location great best views of the river from a restaurant, great food, fun ambience. Who could ask for more. Thank you Whahacca

    First time we've eaten here but intend to return next time we're in the S Bank area. Excellent location, easy to book, friendly, helpful and efficient staff with very good service. Easy to surf menu, very good food and drink at equally reasonable prices. Caters to both those new to Mexican food and those familiar with it. Allergies catered for too without hassle. What's not to like? Go and try it!

    Pros - Good staff, tasty food. Cons - Freezing cold in there. Doors to outside left open. Don’t think the Wahaca for one menu was good value. Left a bit hungry despite spending £15 on a main. A couple of tacos bulked out with some chips and dip and a small salad
