So this will be a bit of an odd review because I changed my mind about what I was going to rate…read morethis place while I was writing it. It was either a 3 or 4, but after, it was a toss up between 4 and 5
So here goes, I've been here before with ex-girlfriend about four or five years ago and really enjoyed myself. I like the food. It was reasonably priced. The atmosphere was quite nice and it was a friendly, buzzing kind of place where you don't get rushed.
So after a crap start if the week, but a good finish on the Friday I decided to treat myself, especially after seeing the 'Wahacha for One' advertised outside.
Second impression's, very good staff, nice atmosphere, shown to a seat of my choice, as I was eating on my own, waitress very helpful and friendly all good so far...
The Meal - OK so I have a little, but only a little gripe about it, it was on the small side, 3 taco's would have been better, however the food was very tasty and well presented. The Taco's ( beef, and pork) were very tasty, bit of a gripe about the Nachos and dips, there wasn't much of either dip but were both tasty but the nachos were a bit meh, overly flat and a bit too crispy, however the rest of the meal, a Taquito, was tasty. Ordered a beer which made a good a accompaniment.
After the Wahacha for One the waitress came over to see if I wanted anything else and whilst chatting with her I said half jokingly, "I'm just in the middle of rating your restaurant" so....she asked me what I thought, especially about the size of the WFO (Wahacha for One) and was also kind enough to offer me a desert on the house, and also kind enough, when I asked to make a recommendation, to pick a desert that was the best part of the meal, dunno what it was called but it was like the Mexican version of Tiramisu, but much better, more substance , better texture and more subtle flavours to it. Also, took the opportunity to chat with the manager to congratulate her on her staff who were really nice, friendly, helpful , and attentive, and then I finished off with a very nice latte.
Overall, excluding the size of the meal, it was a good experience, it has a nice atmosphere, very nice staff and I will be coming back.
Only other gripe was that Wahacha is cash only. This is something that IMHO is not really made super obvious. Now I know everyone, even me, are mad about the convenience of Apple Pay etc, but it's not a great idea for society as whole to depend on contactless payment only because it allow the state almost limitless powers to snoop. and they will, on your spending habits, it will be a bit like the Chinese Social Credit System, but in time, by piecemeal, the state will do this, so not majorly keen for cashless premises' but that's about it for the moans so due to the excellent service from the door guy to the waitress and the manager, I would have to rate |Wahacha a 4.6 stars which I will (charitably) round up to 5* but a bit more (extra Taco, nicer nachos, and bigger dips) with the Wahacha for One would be a great idea to make it a more filling, better value meal, but it was a very enjoyable meal and evening.
