Wahaca Edinburgh

We walked in without a reservation and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They found us a spot and the server Mara was especially lovely as she explained to us how everything works, and even gave us recommendations. The food was incredible!! We each had 3 street food dishes which we shared. Lots of variation and enough to fill you up without feeling you’re going to explode. The right amount of fullness. They have main dishes but thanks to the street food platters you can experience a variety of different food. Food wasn’t too spicy as well! The atmosphere is lovely. A lot of Dia de los Muertos decorations, very vibrant, a lot of plants to give you that Mexican feel. Highly recommend :-)

Some of the best enchiladas I’ve ever had! We went on a weekday afternoon so the restaurant was very quiet but I imagine on a weekend it’s very lively as the place is huge. Our server explained the menu to us very well and we felt like we were being taken care of. You can also pay your bill through the QR code which is genius as it means you can avoid waiting to pay at the end! They also do free refills of tortilla chips so you can share with your friends! I’ll definitely come back as this would be a great place to spend a birthday or special occasion.

Quick Google maps search and I found this place. Food was amazing especially the guacamole which the waitress suggested (think her name was nicola) Great Service. Big fan of Mexican and this was one of the best places I've been to. I will be back. Definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Mexican street food

Excellent restaurant to go with friends and share! The tapas are ideal to try many different things and share them. They have multiple options and everything is amazing! They recommend getting 2-3 per person, and I would say that is more than enough (and if you are hungry, there are also nice desserts to try out) I’m a personal fan of their mocktails and the crab tostadas

Nice ambience and friendly service. As a connoisseur of authentic Mexican food, my expectations are difficult to meet. I should say that the crab tostadas, although an interpretation of the original, did a great job. I would certainly come back for more. I would also recommend the cochinita tacos and churros. The michelada was quite good too.

The sweet potato and feta dish totally got my five stars, food in general is very good and margaritas veery tasty. Given four stars because one of us is celiac and she had to order her meal way later than us just because the manager had to get it, strangely she was asked if GF was her choice or a need?!? It was a bit off putting question to be honest as i don’t think celiacs people would be happy to be asked that question! However the experience overall was very good and the bill was on average (quality/quantity/price), huge seating area divided in two floors and loved the ambience. You can pay your bill scanning a QR code on the table which simplify waiting times. Great for dates, casual dining and big friends groups, I would go back!
