Wahaca Islington

The guacamole could’ve used some jalapeño’s, salt and a little more lime. The sweet potato toquito was absolutely insane, crispy shell with a gooey spicy cheesy filling, covered in spicy mayo with cool sour cream, it was stunning. The butter milk chicken taco were nice too, had a nice Cajun spice to them. I tried the crab but personally wasn’t a fan was almost like a tuna mayo on a crispy tortilla felt lazy from the chef there. Everything else however was on point! Great service too everyone very polite and had great smiles. Would definitely be back and really recommend.

Very happy about this restaurant. I did like the flavour af the different tacos (I didn't had mexican often so I wouldn't know about the authenticity but it did taste good). The service was quick and precise, the food was well done and well presented. We spent less than 80£ for 4 people having a really good amount of tacos, nachos etc (no drinks).

Amazing experience in london. I’ve been there so many times I’ve lost the count. It’s a must have if you’re in the city and you want to try something different (if you’re full of local food). The place it’s loudy -in a good way- and invites you to have a good time with good music and tasty coctels. We tried the guacamole, tacos al pastor, cochinita, halloumi tacos and the one with mushrooms. Also we ordered horchata de arroz, agua de jamaica and an amazing pasion fruit margarita. Btw they have so many different options for veggies 🌱 Ps.: it’s kids friendly! 🤣😜 They have high chairs, kids menu and an entertainment kit. ♥️

Just had dinner around 8.45pm, I expected way more people for the "cinco de mayo" in a mexican restaurant but anyway the atmosphere was good with great music. Crab Tostada (£7,50): 6/10 Buttermilk Chicken Taco (£7,75): 8/10 Chicken Burrito (£12,50): 8/10 - extra guacamole (£1,75) - grill cheese (£1,25) Basil Mezcalita (£8,25): 9/10 Service Charge 12,5% (£4,87) tot. £43,87 Overall the food was nice, luckily getting better in sequence. The crab tostada didn't have much flavour, but the tostada was super crunchy. The taco had many flavours blending together perfectly and I enjoyed it a lot. The burrito on one side was amazing due to the chicken taste, nice and unexpected; on the other rice and beans lacked some kick. Basil mezcalita was just amazing.

Have been to a few Wahaca restaurants, so thought we’d try out Islington. Staff all lovely and food was hot & fresh. The pork pibil was a little watery, but wouldn’t knock a star off for that. Our favourite is the sweet potato bravas! The hand washing station by the front door, should be in all restaurants!

Tacos are my fav food so the bf surprised me with a trip here, they are yummy!! 🌮 The simple fact they have vegan plantain tacos gives them an extra star on its own. The churros and dessert were also good, I’d defo go back for more! My bf’s quesadilla left a lot to be desired, however the scrumptious nachos made up for that. My only gripe was the time it took to get serving staff to notice us if we wanted something or to pay the bill. The menu is also not very clear - I ordered 3 different types of tacos as it says to order 2-3 per person, however the menu doesn’t mention that you get 2-3 tacos per plate, so we had ALOT of tacos!
