Wahaca Oxford Circus

Delightful Service and Flavorful Mexican Cuisine!

In the heart of Oxford Street lies a vibrant culinary gem, an establishment that whispers the seductive promises of Mexican delights. As I stepped into Wahaca, I was greeted by a symphony of colors; bright murals transformed the walls while tantalizing aromas wafted from the bustling kitchen. There's a certain fizz in the air and laughter ripples around like a humming crescendo. My adventure began with a server named Nader, whose enthusiasm was infectious. With boundless energy, he animatedly walked us through a menu that read like a love letter to authentic Mexican street food—every ingredient precious and each dish celebrated for its unique character.

The parade of plates commenced with tortilla chips paired with a velvety guacamole, laying the groundwork for what turned out to be a feast of flavors. Vibrant tacos arrived—pork tacos wrapped in delicate tortillas that wove together spicy heat with savory notes like an impromptu fiesta. The sweet potato & feta taquitos sparkled with unexpected harmony. While some dishes competed valiantly for my attention, such as the remarkably juicy mushroom quesadilla, others—the crispy bravas potatoes bathed in jalapeño aioli—melded tradition with creative zeal. The service wavered at times, betraying itself to a slower pace, but the genuine warmth and attentiveness of the staff indelibly colored this experience. Wahaca, with its hearty embrace of diverse palates and playful yet familiar essence, is more than a restaurant—it is a joyous dalliance tinged with Mexican spirit. — Nigel Gourmet
