Wahaca Wimbledon

We had a great afternoon at Wimbledon. After a sunny day, a couple of hours on Wahaca just made it better. The place is very nice, and the shaded terrace is the best choice in a sunny afternoon. You can relax, chill and cool down, having a tasty meal. We choose Burrito and turns out it was a good choice. Well cooked, spiced enough and tasty. We were pleased to be served by Gianina, in a very professional way. The right smile and jokes just in time. She was nice, kind, serious and professional, reasuring that we understood the level of spices in each dish, and the ingredients that could come across allergies. Highly recommend this place.

We had a fantastic meal at Wahaca, but the absolute highlight was our incredible server, G! She was so incredibly kind and attentive. She went completely out of her way to make my son happy by bringing him some special tortilla chips, which totally made his day. It’s rare to find that level of thoughtful service. Amazing food and even better hospitality—we will definitely be back! Thank you G 😍😍😍😍

The food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent. A special mention to our server, Gianina G, who really made the evening memorable. Her dry sense of humour was brilliant and had us laughing throughout. She was attentive, funny, and added a great touch to the whole experience. We’ll definitely be back!

We were in Wimbledon, and there are lots of places to eat there, however it was during the recent heatwave, so I wasn’t in the mood for spicy Korean food. So, we went to Wahaca. It was a Friday evening, and they looked busy, it took while for us to be seated, we then looked over the menu. They have an extensive choice of small plates on offer in their menu, and they recommend 2-3 plates per person. I also quite liked the idea of ordering some Mexico City Nachos as well. However, I did though like the sound of their feasting menu. This is six dishes, and one of those, the Yellowfin Tuna Tostadas was one I wanted to have. One thing I like about having a set menu like this is you get dishes you probably wouldn’t order if you were ordering separate plates. We ordered the feasting menu and two bottles of Corona. The first four dishes to arrive were a Sweet Potato & Feta Taquito, Beef Gringa Tacos, Grilled Brindisa Chorizo Quesadilla and the Yellowfin Tuna Tostadas. The Grilled Brindisa Chorizo Quesadilla is not the best looking dish, but this was tasty. There was ample chorizo within the quesadilla to add heat and bite to the filling of grilled cheese and crunchy tortilla. The Beef Gringa tacos were made from grass-fed, slow-cooked beef, with grilled cheese and salsa fresca, in two soft corn tortillas. A dash of lime added a nice sharpness and freshness to the rich beef filling. Yes, you could eat these in your hands, but it could be messy. The beef was rich and tender with just the right amount of spice. The Sweet Potato & Feta Taquito with caramelised onion, salsas and chipotle mayo in a crisp blue corn tortilla, was served on a bed of lettuce. The sweetness of the sweet potato was offset by the saltiness of the feta and the spicy heat of the chipotle mayo. It was a lovely combination of flavours and textures. One of my favourite dishes of the feasting menu was the Yellowfin Tuna Tostadas. This was raw line-caught tuna, marinated in soy and lime, with avocado, tomato salsa and salsa macha, on crispy tortillas. The crispy tostadas added a nice crunch to the fresh zingy tuna and the accompanying salsas added flavour and heat. Like the beef tacos, slightly messy to eat, but these were delicious. As we were eating the final two dishes arrived, the Buttermilk Chicken Tacos, and the Chipotle Glazed Aubergine. The Buttermilk Chicken tacos would probably have been a dish I would have ordered if I was ordering separate plates. These was crunchy fried buttermilk chicken with habanero mayo and pink pickled onions, in two soft flour tortillas. This sounded great, and they were very nice, but out of all the six dishes I had these were probably my least favourite. I liked the habanero mayo and pink pickled onions, but I think the dish was let down by the chicken, which to be honest was a little dry (and possibly overcooked). They were okay, maybe I had higher expectations, but I was slightly disappointed. I forgot to take a photograph of the Chipotle Glazed Aubergine: however, this was roasted slices of aubergine that had been brushed with a chipotle glaze and was served on top of macadamia mole, with jalapeño oil and crumbled feta. I doubt I would have ordered this dish if I was ordering separate plates, but this was one of the best dishes in the six. It was beautifully presented with a topping of crumbled feta. It had a lovely strong flavour, some heat, there was sweetness from the glaze which contrasted with the saltiness of the feta and the slight bitterness of the aubergine. Delicious. Overall, we had six excellent plates of food. Obviously, I preferred some over others, but it was a nice variety and I was pleased we had made the choice to go with the feasting menu. Service was excellent, warm, friendly and efficient. I would certainly visit again.
