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.

Bedford has always been missing something when it comes to restaurant choice. Foregoing the obvious…read moreomissions of chains such as Ask or Cafe Rouge, there has been one giant missing piece which my taste buds have not thanks me for since moving to the town; the lack of a Mexican restaurant. Whilst many may not agree with me that Mexican food is some of the tastiest, loveliest, most homely cuisine you can honour your tongue with, I happen to absolutely love it. So as soon as I saw the sign, I was in like a shot to make a reservation (definitely something to consider if you want to go at peak times). Let's be honest with ourselves for a moment though. When you've been waiting for and wanting something for a long time, in the end it's more than likely to disappoint. So it was with a certain amount of trepidation that I entered Baja yesterday evening ready, as ever an Englishman tends to be, for disappointment. What I got was an explosion of spice, flavour and a sense that I'd been returning to this place again and again. I'd just found the best food in Bedford by quite some way. The restaurant itself is clean and modern, with just the right amount of colour to set the scene. A combination of tables and booths overlook, well not too much to be honest. The view outside wasn't spectacular (just some empty shops), but the view on my table turned out to be more than adequate. (As an aside, the bar at the back of the restaurant does have a better outlook, with the Castle Mound and river just in sight). I started with a bowl of Breaded Calamari and Tentacles, which was not only delicious, but also came in a portion that could feed a family of four. I'm definitely not complaining though; the squid was a perfect texture and the breadcrumbs gave a satisfying crunch. Spot on. There was the risk that after such a humongous starter, there wouldn't be any room left for the main course. That was until it made its heavenly appearance on the table in front of me. My Enchilada was stuffed with chicken, Mexican rice and beans, and sat on a bed of passata. Topped off with melted Monterey Jack cheese, salsa and crema, it practically melted in the mouth. There was a hint of coriander running through the dish, which set the whole thing off for me. As my Mexican-loving eyes are probably too big for my belly, I also chose Frijoles as a side. Black, pinto and kidney beans, refried and topped with crema and melted cheese. They were truly stunning. I could have happily sat and had a couple of those as a meal on their own. My dining companions' food was also very well received. In particular, the Big Baja Salad was a definite hit, coming in its own huge edible tortilla bowl and with more lamb than any one person would dare to eat in one sitting (again, not a complaint). Desert was a big no as we were all completely stuffed from the wonderful food, though next time I'll try and save enough room to sample a Sweet Chimichanga. The only real disappointment was with our cocktail. Our mojitos tasted of not much other than rum and definitely needed more than the single leaf of mint that had been put in the glass. But that's not really much of a complaint, when the meal itself was so well prepared. I made a point of saying before the meal arrived that I hoped I would finally find a restaurant in Bedford that I would want to return to frequently. I found it.

In a great shopping mall, so worthy of a day trip to maximise the experience. Now, onto the food. The menu is solid, with the addition of pulled pork and fries not typically seen back in the states. They gave the option for chicken, beef, or pork on most items on the menu.. which again isn't the usual procedure back in America. There was no Baja blast on the drinks menu, which is a major flaw in the offering. They had mild, hot and fire sauces which tasted very similar to the famed American counterparts. Food did seem a bit saltier than the original, but overall it did the job of satisfying the Taco Bell itch. Staff were patient and food was made quickly. Worthy of a trip for anyone who loves to "Live Mas." If I could make one suggestion, it would be to invest in hiring a chihuahua to sit on the counter saying "Yo Quiero Taco Bell."

OK, in tradition of the way the UK takes everything American and makes it its own, Taco Bell will not give you: chalupas, gorditas, mexican pizzas, chicken ranchero tacos, fiesta potatos, cinnamon twists, pintos, and Mountain Dew or cherry Pepsi. Though they've done some new things like mexican fries....(yes, I know, but one of the workers said they were actually amazing), churros, chocolate quesadillas (well, sans queso), molten chocolate cakes, and a different kind of chicken taco which was deeee-lish.
