Nor does it come close to tasting like it. Sorry, it's not. It'll pass for British people who don't know any better, but not for those of us who do.

Wahaca is one of these offerings, it lies between Nandos and GBK. The competition must be fierce, especially with Nandos. Given the choice, and because it's summer, GO FOR WAHACA. It's refreshing and it's not like any normal mexican you've had before. (granted, it has the normal fare such as heavy burritos) I highly highly recommend the tapas style dishes, it's perfect for a light lunch and it's super healthy! I wasn't feeling very hungry today, i'm still full from two days ago-meatliquor. LOL The msc Ceviche tostada was brilliant, it was fresh salad with lime marinated scallops and shrimps with a habanero sauce. It was crunchy, refreshing with a zing. My top choice out of the tapas we tried! WE also ordered a chicken quesedilla, and also mini steak tacos. Both were very good, although if you like really cheesy quesedilla, this isn't the one you should order, but for a light lunch and as a tapas meals, it was perfect. Maybe it's because we're chinese, but this felt alot like dim sum..with more salad. The only downside to the meal was the refried black beans tostada, although the guacamole was lovely, they put far too much sour cream on, it just overpowered everything. Hence why one star is knocked off! If the habanero is too hot (it's not really) cool down with a citrus fizz, it's limey, fizzy and minty. A bit like a virgin mojito.

We shared a big plate of taco ingredients and tortillas. It was all very good and the good news is that with the variety there was something everyone liked. The space was chill and upscale while also feeling trendy. The drinks were also nice, mostly margaritas. In the end, nothing really stood out enough for me to remember or come back for if I wasn't in the area, but it would probably make my easy list of places that won't disappoint near the office.

Unfortunately, Mestizo charges per person and the minimum and maximum is two for this item So I couldn't order for one without paying forty dollars , and I'd be damned to pay that much. Having this rule is ridiculous. I've never been to a Mexican restaurant forcing you to order something that can easily be portioned to one. I ordered a marinated chicken with rice and beans. The beans were out of this world. Such a unique flavor I definitely was not accustomed to in the states. The rice was unfortunately bland. The chicken was marinated in this red sauce and was tasty for the most part. However , when I made my way to the center it became dry and had a weird taste. If you're gonna order this dish, proceed with caution. The dessert really outshined and redeemed my visit somewhat. I ordered the tres leches cake. This dessert is basically like a Mexican version of sticky toffee pudding. There are many overlapping factors. One key difference is tres leches uses a milk and cinnamon base , so it kind of tastes like a horchata cake.

From start to finish, this was the worst restaurant experiences I've had…read more I visited this restaurant with my family one evening, and the first thing we saw was the unwelcoming stares of the waitstaff (a group of 5 or more people hovering by the bar, who couldn't have looked less enthusiastic if they tried). Eventually one of them mustered up the courage to approach us, after we stood awkwardly for 2 minutes. We were asked "Do you have a booking-". Considering half the restaurant was empty, and there was just 2 of us we expected a better response. We were told to wait while he checked - Again, we could clearly see there was space. He guided us to the very back wall of the restaurant, right by the kitchen door. In his defence, there was a pretty big party of young people that were sitting by the window having the time of their lives (kudos to them), and it was clear the main manager wanted a certain atmosphere to be advertised at the shop window. We were not the clientele he wanted to advertise. Or perhaps he was psychic, and knew about the impending food poisoning we would have? There's that too. We went to our table and begun looking at our menus. Beyond the remnants of what I can only hope was hot sauce or ketchup, I was able to see most of my menu. We ordered 1 starter (taquitos), 2 mains (chimichangas), 1 drink (caipirinha). Whilst waiting, the waitstaff constantly shifted and moved tables and chairs around us - perhaps this was their idea of creating ambience? At one point, a server lifted a chair near his head, and accidently dropped the foot of a chair on the tip of our table. Not only was his method of chair-lifting nonsensical, it was dangerous. He bellowed "sorry!" as he scurried to the other side of the restaurant to avoid reproach The starter arrived within 7 minutes of ordering. My taquitos were piping hot, and yet they were dry and dehydrated (clearly precooked some hours before and thrown in a microwave). I wanted to be impressed by the mere speed in which they got to me, but then again that's what 90 seconds in a microwave will give you. Presentation was sloppy, my salad was dry, in spite of the Hellmann's salad dressing presumptively drizzled on top. My caipirinha was very syrupy, and although my glass was filled with at least 6 lime wedges, I did not taste the tartness, tanginess or sourness of the citrus that would have balanced the sheer volume of syrup. Our main course came shortly after. Two chimichangas - AKA Two store bought tortillas filled with a flavourless mix of mince beef and kidney beans, topped with microwaved cheese and brined jalapeno slices. This was accompanied by rice that had clearly been precooked in bulk and reheated. Outside of any subjective view, the food lacked the flavour, authenticity and basic effort one would expect from any establishment - let alone Mexican & Cuban cuisine, which is renowned for incredible flavours and colourful presentation. Our meal was cooked with minimal care or concern, and if the treatment we received wasn't already a clear indication we were not welcome at this restaurant, the food was the final rubber stamp on it.
