Wahaca

This place easily deserves its own post. Contrary to popular belief about the poor food in London, this city might be the most rewarding culinary destination on the planet. I have never had better food in my life. And what's amazing is the variety. It's as if the city is continuously hosting a "best of" world foods contest, and everyone is winning! With one exception. Somehow Mexican food is lost on the English. As a whole they neither understand nor appreciate it, nor do they know how to prepare it! There are a few hidden spots for decent Mexican grub, but most attempts at the cuisine fall short.

Enter Wahaca.

This place, with two convenient London locations, has done an outstanding job of satisfying our Mexican food cravings. It's not exactly like anything you'd find in the US, but this London take on Mexican hits all the right notes.

Everyone in our family loves it, but Scott has a particular fondness for the place, and we end up going there most anytime we dine out as a family

The enchilada, our favourite!

Pork tacos!

Wash it all down with a perfectly blended hibiscus water

So glad for the suggestions on things to order there. The one and only time we went, I got a normal enchilada and was so not impressed with the non-flavorful tomato sauce they poured on top. I'll have to try the pork taco and flavored water next time :)
