Update 2.0: Because it was good, i had to bring my parents to come here. Quite pricey yes but it was worth for the mexican food. Good quality worth it and definitely going to come back again! Cheers! read more

Having come from California, was I surprised to have one of the most delicious vegetarian Mexican meals ever in London, of all places? Yes. Would I come back? In a heartbeat! Would I recommend it? Definitely. The plantain, butternut squash, and mushroom tacos were all very unique, flavorful, and beautiful, and the sweet potato burrito was delicious and very filling. The seasoning was all on point, the right mix of savory, smoky, and spicy. The caramel pecan brownie was also very decadent and the perfect way to end the meal! The service felt a little off the night we visited only because there was a mix-up in who was supposed to be serving our table, but once our order was in the food came quickly and the bill was easy to pay. I also found it great that they have specific vegan and vegetarian menus, which makes ordering for people with these dietary requirements very straightforward. We dined on a weekend evening when Canary Wharf is much less busy, so although we had a reservation we probably didn't need one. read more

Didn't expect much from this Mexican place since I'm from Texas (definitely know authentic Mexican very well). The place is average and some of the food isn't really authentic (fried chicken in a taco, or the bigger sin...flour tortillas?!) I had a steak and it was okay. The meat was a bit chewy and you could tell it wasn't the best quality (but what do you expect from a steak that costs 14£. The good stuff here is the tacos. That's probably what is most tasty on their menu. I wouldn't get the horchata since it tasted really off and watered down (might be because they don't use cow milk, it taste more like almond which made the consistency a bit weird for me). The inside is beautifully decorated and its in a prime location in Canary Wharf. I wasn't expecting much and got exactly what I expected from a Mexican place in London. read more

This is located in Canary Wharf area, nice place. It's on the second floor of a building overlooking a green, grassy area with colorful benches. The staff was very attentive and welcomed us as first timers to their restaurant. I got the chicken tinga burrito, it left my mouth tingling and tasted alright. The chips it came with were nothing special. Personally, I would have preferred a chipotle burrito and chips to this. Burrito and chips were about £9. I also got hot chocolate which satisfied my sweet tooth but it had little bits in it that felt weird on the tongue. My friend enjoyed the chicken club but said the cornbread was dry. They had a survey at the end on an iPad which you could give thumbs up or down to each item you ordered, this was unique and fun. read more

I should have known since they didn't spell it Oaxaca that I was in for an inauthentic experience. While traveling for business I stopped in for dinner on my way back to my hotel. The service was terrible and the food was worse. I got a salad and the chicken reminded me of what canned cat food smells like... the dressing was flavorless and just yuck. After the food was brought out we didn't see the server again until he dropped off the check. Didn't ask how it was, didn't check in on us, nothing. Then we played a 20-25 min game of cat and mouse. We FINALLY got him to come over and he was like "oh, I thought you were going to pay on the app." The Wi-Fi didn't work in there, and I had no cell service.... Not sure how I would have accomplished paying on the app but, mmmkay.... Go anywhere else.... even a cart for street meat... ick. read more

As a whole, an extremely positive experience. I will say, we had a little trouble finding the restaurant. But that's just because we are dumb, the restaurant has a very large sign. View was limited, but the inside of the restaurant is very attractive. We started off with the margaritas. And we finished off with the margaritas, too, if you know what I mean -lol. Margs were great, although, they never gave us salt on the rims, which is curious. Service was even better, however we might have been judged just for the sheer quantity of margaritas we consumed, which was 8. The restaurant serves tapas style small plates to share. Whether you order a taco, quesadilla, or a taquito, we literally loved every dish. The bean and sweet potato taquito was our favorite. Only disappointment was the churros, which lacked much sugar on the outside. The caramel dipping sauce was quite good, though. Now you know why I liked Wahaca! read more

Wahaca - Marg #3 of 8 - Mexican Near Me - London, XGL

Tortilla bowl salad! A reminder of sunny uni days in SoCal. Tasty but the bowl is greasy and there's not enough sturdy salad ingredients to balance it out. We came as a big group and the food came out as a very slow trickle. It took about 30 minutes between the first and last dish to arrive. C'mon guys. This is bad. read more

We visited here on Friday night - it was a pre-concert meal and we decided to avoid the crowds at the O2 and head to Canary Wharf instead! I started with an Hibiscus - I'm not a huge fan of tequila but when paired with cranberry juice it goes down a treat! Just yummy. Wahaca's is always a good, go-to staple when you need fast and reliable food! I ordered the grilled British steak tacos, the Smoky chipotle chicken quesadillas and Frijoles. The food literally came within minutes and I mean minutes! The steak was hot, cooked well - a little over done for my liking but for tacos it worked well! The quesadillas were a little bland but I ate them all the same. The stand outs for me were the beans and Chris' sweet potatoes chips - they were delicious! soft but crispy and seasoned well. Sure wahaca's isn't the best Mexican food you'll find in London but it's easy, reasonable priced - £44 for 2 with 4 drinks, and the staff are friendly and helpful. We actually payed using flypay which made it even quicker to get in and out and off to the concert. read more

It's a no-surprise all-round 3 stars isn't it. It's your standard chain - nothing is ever gonna be awful, nothing is ever gonna be outstanding, but you always know what you're gonna get. Can't say better than that!!! Stand out dish was the crab and avocado tostada. That was deee-lish. Stand out bad dish was the chicken quesadilla - dry and very tasteless. No. Staff were lovely though, and I like the style of the menu where you can keep it there and just keep ordering as you eat. Grand! read more

Love a good Taco, love some mexi. Here's a decent option for you! Love the food and setting. Price is reasonable (to canary wharf standard), and food is nice. Had a fish Taco and it tasted awesome! Only complaint is that it was too small. Think I can eat 3 of them to be full! No I don't eat a lot. read more

In the Canary Wharf/Docklands area there isn't a whole lot of choice for food outside your typical chain options. We ended up here for some food kind of by default - it seemed like the best option from the few choices we had. Wahaca reminds me a lot of Topolabomba in Glasgow (Wahaca came first, just to make that clear). It's casual, open-area dining with table service and this location in particular was rammed with business folk who'd just knocked off work (or were still working on their laptops at their tables). The menu is your placemat and there's a pretty massive range so you should be able to find something that you like. We got guacamole and frijoles to share between the table - both of these were super tasty but as my workmate mentioned, the guac didn't look super fresh and had turned a little grey in colour. I ordered: chicken taquitos, salmon sashimi tostadas and crab & avocado toastadas. This was the perfect amount of food for a late night dinner and with most things coming in at around £5, pretty damn good value too (esp for London). I can't decide which I liked the most as they were all pretty damn delicious - I would say the chicken taquito needed some seasoning as it was perhaps a tad bland but otherwise I really liked the food. I also tried a passion fruit margarita which was way too sweet but once I watered it down it was fine. We had churros to finish - these are a small portion of 3 churros and the sauce is super rich. I could have done without these as then I'd eaten way too much food. My workmate paid for the meal on the app which is a kind of cool idea - although, you need to know your table number and we couldn't find this anywhere so had to ask a waitress. Service was excellent and friendly and all up, I was pretty impressed with this place for a late-night dinner. read more

Wahaca is a nice joint with a wonkily-spelled name. Their food, in the main, is fresh, tasty, and well-presented. -kinda like Baja Fresh, really. The prices, however, aren't Baja Fresh, but rather you're-in-London-looking-for-a-four-leaf-clover-type-of-food-from-home-so-we'll-charge-you-big-bucks kind of money. I'm from California; this is how I feel. Like the high prices, breaded fish tacos (upwards of 9 quid), too, are a bit off-putting. If I want bread on my fish, then I'll go to Toff's of Muswell Hill for cod and chips. Fortunately, they have Negra Modelo behind the bar, so that you may numb out a bit before the bill comes. Oh, and I do think that people living in LDN could be trained to pronounce the name "Oaxaca". I really do. (-maybe not "paella" though.) read more

To be honest, it's okay. The place looks and sounds fancy and the prices match, but in the end, the food is just... okay? I don't need my tacos in little holders, and they've definitely mellowed out the flavours. If you want to advertise yourself as artisanal Mexican, then maybe showcase the real flavours? In the end, its a decent meal, but it leaves me wanting more. read more

The Wahaca empire is growing...a very welcome addition to the wharf. This particular site seems quite vast, perhaps because the space is quite open - all the more space, hurrah! As they don't take bookings, this probably isn't a bad thing at all. Order the huitlacoche quesadillas, the pork pibil and the fuerza salad. Try to convince your fellow diners that the black bean and chicken soup is 'yes, nice, good..' rather than revealing that it's amazing so you don't have to share it with them. I've become a tequila convert now and it's all Wahaca's fault - what they have on offer is a far cry from the student experiences that most of us associate with that particular beverage. Try the aged ones at the end of your meal. Leave room for churros. We didn't, and now we have to go back. Ack, what a chore... read more

Preface: This review has been written by a clueless European who has only ever been to Cancun on a drinking holiday and has never experienced the mythical nirvana that is 'good Mexican food'. Brand new to Canary Wharf is Wahaca, yay, wooh, Mexican food.... Ehhhh wah wah Wahaca, you are such a disappointment. Firstly I hate that you put red onion in your guac, this is no place for overpowering onion evilness. 2. Your waiters are far too concerned about what 'section' tables are in, if you aren't in their section, you are dead to them. This is not how you run a restaurant. C. Your fish tacos are crap. Three measly bits of fish gougon on a cold tortilla with far too much lettuce and a teaspoon of sauce is not what I was hoping for. I will conceded the portion of rice and beans was tasty. Conclusion: Waited ages to order and your food is admittedly fresh tasting, but eating a plate of lettuce will always feel airy, won't it? I'm sure one day I will find something at Wahaca that I like, so will probably try again in a couple of months. If anything, they have churros! read more

It's one of the worse Wahacas i've ever been to only because of the service. Our server didnt start to be particular friendly and hard to wave down, but by the time we finished dinner and were sitting around chatting, a server came by tossed some churros in our way, and continued walking. We were trying to wave him down but he didnt even bother with us and no one was in sight. We thought maybe it's on the house and ate it. 10 minutes later, our server came by and asked us if we ordered the churros and we said no but we couldnt find anyone so we thought it was on the house (some places actually have services and do that) and she began to LECTURE us in a very rude tone about how we shouldn't eat food that we didnt order,and then proceeded to put it on our bill, causing the another set of churros to come by and dropped off our table. We waved someone down to ask them what's going on, and then the server came again and lectured us AGAIN about how we ate the first churros (that we ended up paying for), while taking the new set away (despite it was actually made for us this time). Wahaca really needs to clean up their staff. Her name is Alice, btw, and her english was not very good. read more

Ever since I left the States, I've missed Mexican food. It's a sad affliction - on my return trip to CHicago this year I was like a crazed desperate woman headed for Chipotle. Anyway, one of my boyfriend's favourtie foods ever which we had in California was fish tacos, and I haven;t found them here. Wahaca probably comes closest. The food is good - tasty, good size portions to try lots of items (I'd recommend the tasting plate for two, it's plentiful and good). The soft tacos are the only ones I've had in London which taste like, erm, soft tacos - it's the corn, I think. Anyway, yum. The atmosphere in the restaurant is also good, we were in a large group and were well looked after. However, afterwards, we headed up to the bar which was FREEZING - due to being made not-quite-airtight with a piece or transparent tarp - and EMPTY. The girl behind the bar served us with complete indifference, which seemed a bit odd since we were the only people there and you'd think she'd at least like having something to do to keep her warm. (Honestly, I had to sit under the heat lamp I was so cold). So - good food, I'll definitely go back, but I wouldn't bother with the bar. read more

Super impressed with this place. I wasn't expecting Cali style Mexican, but this place came dam close, and actually blew me away for Mexican food in the UK! It's amost as good as my mum's home made stuff. haha. The tacos were small, smaller than Mexico, but that's ok, because they were loaded with flavour. Everything here was good, especially the mexican style of serving the beer. Margharitas were spot on, and service was incredible. read more

Pretty good Mexican food. I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas. The mole sauce was good, but the corn tortillas seemed a bit greasy and there just wasn't much filling inside of the tortilla. My mom ordered the fish tacos and really enjoyed. We both had the Hibiscus punch which was pretty good. They added cranberry juice to it, which I am not used to, so it was a bit off to me because of the added bitterness. A tad pricey for Mexican food. Overall a good experience. read more

Having lived in Southern California for many years, I know what Mexican food is. I know they are a 'boutique' Mexican restaurant, but they missed it. The chips are commercial, made in a factory and not meant to be fresh. If you want salsa with your chips, it costs more, same if you wish to add guacamole, that is to say you have to order that order, meaning one order chips and salsa and a second order of chips and guacamole. The guacamole was good. The Black Bean and cheese quesadilla was bland, dry and comes without any crema or salsa. I did not finish. My server never came back around so I could not get some mild chilli sauce. I guess I'll wait until I go to the states to get Mexican food. read more

Wahaca - Guacamole & chips and a classic margarita! - Mexican Near Me - London, XGL

I am now a fan of this restaurant. I came here with a group of friends for lunch and ordered a couple of dishes. Even though the restaurant was pretty busy, I didn't feel like it was a long delay until I got my food. I had the pork pibil and the chorizo & potato - both starter sizes and probably designed for sharing, but I just ate all of it by myself! The pork really hit the spot and the chorizo and potato was very tasty. I washed it all down with an apple and rhubarb juice. I would be happy to come back here again, for lunch or dinner. It looks ideal as a place to head to after work for some drinks and snacks. read more

Wahaca is an upscale Tex-mex restaurant with nice decor. A few friends and I came on a Tuesday night and found it to be surprisingly crowded, although we got seated immediately. They do not take many reservations, as they leave most tables for walk ins. I got the passion fruit-hibiscus cooler and thought it was decent, nothing special. I ordered the chicken club quesadillas and the cornbread with goat cheese. The chicken club quesadillas are delicious! The chipotle mayo is flavorful and chicken was cooked well. The cornbread was just ok, as the actual cornbread was quite dry and bland. There was also not enough goat cheese or chipotle chili jam on top. My friends both got the chicken tinga burrito. They were satisfied although it did have a bit of a kick to it, if you have no tolerance for spice I'd stay away from it. The decor and various seating areas were cool and artsy. Although I wouldn't recommend this place for the food, if you are in the area and looking for a nice sit down dinner without spending too much ££, come here! read more

I love a Wahaca. Canary Wharf Wahaca was my first experience of this Mexican inspired chain. Some say it's not authentic, I say I don't care, it tastes good. I like a little bit of this and a little bit of that and the 'street food' idea is right up my street. It's a colorful and vibrant restaurant without being overbearing. It's reasonably priced, your food comes out hot and quick and it is just lush, especially in comparison to some of the other restaurants in the area. read more

Chains and branches, you sometimes get a bit wary and weary of them. However, not all are bad and some are worth the trip. I've been to Wahaca a few times now and I do enjoy the food here. When I don't really have a preference on what to order, I will usually go for the Market selection which comprises of a number of different items on the menu. 3 pork pibil tacos 1 large broad bean quesadilla 3 chicken tinga tacos 2 black bean tostadas 2 new potato taquitos with green rice and black beans You probably can't go too wrong with the above selections. Everything is cooked well, flavoursome and will satisfy the tummy. My favourite are the taquitos, anything deep fried usually are. Sometimes when you want to eat somewhere that doesn't burn a hole in the wallet and still taste of something, Wahaca is one of this options that I will consider. Oh, and my favourite drink is the horchata which is almond and rice milk. A nice chill drink without being overly sweet. read more

Having ordered my 'first time burrito' I spent the rest of the meal glancing at my friend's chicken and fish dishes with a hint of jealousy.. Don't get me wrong - the burrito was nicely made, huge and with all the right flavours but it looked a bit boring whilst the chicken and fish could make your mouth water just by looking at the way it was served. Tacos had quite a plain taste as for my taste buds. Overall - lovely lunch and I'm coming back for the chicken ;) read more

Wahaca is one of the better places to grab Mexican food in London. My dining experiences at the Canary Wharf location have always been great. Service is fast and efficient, and the food is good. I like having the choice between getting 3-4 small plates or one entree. I highly recommend the plantain tacos - they're pretty darn tasty. I'm always down for a black bean and cheese quesadilla, and the steak tacos aren't half bad either. This particular Wahaca location has a great outdoor bar looking over a park. In the summers you can sit out here and watch Wimbledon matches on 2 huge outdoor television while sipping on margaritas. read more

There are two types of Mexican places in Canary Wharf and Wahaca is the more expensive as well as formal option. Whilst I would say the food itself is pretty average, I like that the staff are accommodating and it's a great place to host drinks looking over the green near One Canada Square. I recommend going in a group and sharing some small bites as well as ordering your own main. I usually go for the fish main which comes with rice and is zingy as well as being lighter than the larger taco bowl/burrito options. I've come here 5/6 times on different occasions and think it's usually a good choice for team lunch given everyone can order a main and just share some nachos and guac at the start. Drinks are reasonably priced and they have an unusual selection of tequilas etc. Food comes out as it's ready but it's a nice place for a date if you get a nice window seat rather than being sat by a big table. read more

Love this place for quick (most of the times) service, high quality food and good tequila and mezcal. I usually go for the steak burrito, and can't find any fault with it - the steak is juicy and tender, and there is a lot of it. Burritos in other places are sometimes 95% rice but here there is a lot of other good stuff thrown in in good proportions - nice cabbage slaw, good rice, and nice cheese. Also comes with a few tortilla chips and salsa - nice extra! This all for under £7 is an excellent deal for a dine in lunch or dinner. Also try sweet potato fries - to die for - and frijoles with chorizo (can be ordered with tortilla chips as a starter but if you order a burrito you get some chips anyway so can just order frijoles as a side because it's cheaper that way). read more

I'm rounding up the star-age here, because, well, yay, I'm a fan, especially of the fish tacos, which are far from perfection, but get at least an A- for effort. I'm not going to lie here, I'm pretty awesome at eating Mexican food. I've lived in the Bay Area (props to El Charro) San Francisco (Mission = Mexican food heaven) and San Diego, which, in my opinion, arguably has better fish tacos than, well, Mexico. (Although it wouldn't stop us from taking a day-trip to Ensenada or Porto Nuevo, a small fishing village south of Tijuana that had an amazing lobster tail taco special. Ok, maybe that was the best.) Anyway, back to reality. Back to London, where a poor avocado tree would die of depression before it died of frost in the dark, dark cold winter afternoons. Back to Wahaca. So, with all that in mind, the first time I had the fish tacos I thought they were pretty a-ok, a little too heavy on the battering and they were kind of smallish and looked like fish sticks. But they tasted good, and had plenty of chipotle-mayo sauce stuff on top. The side slaw was great outside and inside the taco, and the side of black beans, cilantro rice and sour-ed (why not just "sour," people?) cream was a tasty combo. Hence, I ate the entire plate. And I was stuffed. On my second visit, I wanted to try something else, but fell into the tractor beam of the fish taco plate again, and this time, the fish sticks, still over battered, were slightly bigger, and the tacos were messy but delicious in addition to the sides. Again, plate was clean. And for less than 8 GBP for a filling and tasty meal in a classy but comfortable atmosphere...I say yay. For a short recap: this place serves good Mex as far as London goes, has a creative street-food menu approach great for sharing if you don't like fish tacos. Salsa is smokey and spicy, and if you ask them for more chips they'll give 'em to ya. Fun atmosphere and reasonable, even for broke students. Oh, and get the rice-milk Horacha drink if you can't splurge on the margaritas, like me! read more

I think that Linzi wrote a great review of this place, way back when - wow - nearly 6 years ago now. Unlike Linzi at that point, I have spent quite a bit of time facedown in a lot of Californian Mexican-type grub. So, I could write this review from the point of "disappointment", but my expectations have been most definitely adjusted to fit what a London "Mexican" eatery will give me and what it will not. To be brief, I was not expecting outstanding service when I came here. And guess what? I didn't get outstanding service. I was not expecting to be bowled over by the greatest revolution in Mexican food since a man rode a little donkey across the border into California. And, you guessed it, the food was purely average representations of many dishes that we all know and (sometimes) love. The decor? The ambience? Ultra corporate. Ultra chain. No atmosphere. Apart from the clatter of dishes. So then. Just as I had thought. I was not expecting to be wowed and my expectations were met. read more

We went to meet friends for lunch and I suggested Wahaca, based on two fantastic experiences in the past and Wahaca lived up to its expectations, again! There was me (of course) and three vegetarians. It was a busy afternoon and we were told we'd be seated in a few minutes whilst we waited in the bar. The buzzer buzzed soon and we were on our way. We mostly ordered vegetarian options like plantain tacos, rice+beans, guac+nachos etc. I went for a chicken burrito and chicken quesadilla, in addition. We also had an almond/cinnamon/rice milk drink called horchata. The service was exceptional and so was the speed of service. Five stars again, cos simply they deserve it! As with any other place, I sincerely hope they continue to maintain their excellent standards. read more

I must say that I rediscovered Mexican food here...When I was in the US, I didn't like Mexican restaurant because everything was too spicy or too heavy for me...then my former colleagues convinced me to go for lunch at Wahaca and I discovered a whole new world. The food is really good and not as heavy as the original mexican stuff, in particular the tapas style dishes to share: my favourites are the chicken taquitos, a cruncy roll filled with chicken and loaded with salad, cheese and tomato. The black been quesadillas are also very good, as well as the tacos. For lunch I have ordered sometimes the salads and wasn't disappointed at all,also because it comes in crispy bread bowl. My friends used to have burritos and they were always very satisfied with the food. I like the atmosphere here, so colourful and bright. As the food comes when it is ready, there are no long waiting periods and the service is very fast. On top there is a nice terrace bar where to have a good Mojitos (but you can drink it also at the restaurant downstairs). I have been also to the Soho branch on a couple of Sunday nights and it was good too. read more

Wahaca normally provides very good service, and I love the attention to detail with which they've put the whole experience together. So was disappointed that waiter had a casual arrogance. I had to ask for a glass of water three times and the bill took way too long. Food was divine as always, the plaintain wrap being a special highlight. read more

I like you London, but I didn't expect you to have Mexican food this good. I mean, to be fair, if you go to Wahaca you need to manage your expectations. You are in a spice averse country far far away from Mexico... this is risky territory. Yet, I can confidently say this is better than the Mexican food I ate in Beijing, and its also better than plenty of places in NYC. Alright, fine, I guess thats like saying it is better than eating dirt. I'll leave it at this: If you are in London and from somewhere with remotely decent Mexican food, it is inevitable that a time will come when you have an uncontrollable craving. When that day comes, Wahaca will satisfy your needs and you will not leave pissed off at the food. You might hate the service, but quit being such a negative nancy. read more

Yes, Wahaca the third! They've done a cracking job on the decor and atmosphere for the Canary Wharf site. It's suspended above the square below (atop a Canteen, no less) which makes it feel nice and big, especially compared to the subterranean vibe of Covent Garden. It's also very colourful and friendly compared to the superclean, sharp and pointy aesthetic of the Wharf. The food is nigh on identical between all the Wahaca sites, and their quality control is perfect. All the staff did a brilliant job too; friendly and present when you need them. The trick to a good Wahaca experience, as I've said before, is to be adventurous with your order. My favourites are the black bean soup, pork scratchings with guacamole and fish tacos. The tequila is also excellent and a far cry from the pungent student nightmare that puts most of us off it for life. Give it a go. Order big. Share everything. Good times. read more

When did Mexican start becoming so popular in London? This place was absolutely packed to the brim with gents and ladies in business suites. Unfortunately this hurt our experience here a bit, though. Due to rush hour, the waiter stopped by about 3 times saying he will attend to us. The second time he actually started taking our order and then bolted off half way through my order because he forgot to attend to another table first! Mate! Additionally, half way through my meal I realized my british steak burrito was cooked blue! The cow of which this fine piece of meat came from was pretty much still alive. Absolutely disgusting. I complained showing the manager it was barely simmered and he agreed and immediately took it off the bill, so props for customer service in that regard but I was still dissapointed I couldn't finish my burrito. Living in California, I have to say Wahaca is not at all authentic but I don't care because the rest of our food was delicious and it really does seem like a great place to come. Unlucky about our rude-ish waiter and poorly cooked steak but I'm willing to give Wahaca a second chance given the rest of the food and every other part of the experience was pretty good. read more

Another great dinner at Wahaca. This is one of my favorite places to get a fast, inexpensive lunch or dinner. The food is always tasty and fast. Perfect for a fun lunch with friends or family. read more

Wahaca - Guacamole and chips & salsa :) - Mexican Near Me - London, XGL

I drank here a couple of weekends ago during the Canary Wharf Jazz festival. I'd eaten and drank at the Wahaca on Southbank and that experience was very poor (which I reviewed here) but I thought I give Wahaca (at least the drinks part) a second go as I was convinced that the first time I went the barman was just useless rather than the drink recipe being bad. So I ordered the same mojito DF drink that I ordered last year and low and behold the drink was excellently made. I won't be going back to the Southbank one anytime soon but I may just try to eat at another Wahaca in the near future. The view of Canada square is really great and you can open the windows fully which was great as we went on a hot summers day. There's always events happening in Canada Square so if you are there and fancy a break whilst maintaining a good view of what's going on then this is the bar that you should go to. read more
