So after much deliberation and discussing every possible Mexican in Angel me & the girls - my housemates, decided to go to Wahaca & what a great decision that was. We were originally aiming to go Chilango, which was very close to Angel tube station, however when we arrived we decided it looked a little too much like a posh fast food restaurant, which in hindsight it really was. It looked cool and the ratings were amazing, but there's just something about sitting down for your meal & being waited on instead of having to order your food at the till, it also comes down to the environment and the mood you're in. After our long days we all just wanted to have a nice relaxed meal, so to Wahaca it was.
So we started off by ordering some drinks, Hannah went for a Mohito & Oliva tried a nice Mocktail, and from what I could tell, they both rather much enjoyed them. So far so good, the menu had lots to offer, so we were spoilt for choice.
We decided to go for some dishes from the Tapas selection, choosing three dishes each which were all reasonably priced. I went for a chicken quesadilla, sweet potatoes and cauliflower cheese - it felt like a slightly random dish to accompany the rest, but who cares, I love cauliflower cheese. I almost forgot, we also got some amazing nachos with fresh guacamole.
Although the nacho's didn't come with any salsa or sour cream, they were really good, and to be honest I thought it was quite nice to just have the one dip as most of the time I find myself rarely finishing any of the dips. The guacamole was really and was served immediately after ordering, so we couldn't knock them for service.
These sweet potatoes were THE best sweet potatoes I have ever tried!! I'd literally go back just for the sweet potatoes. They were perfectly cooked and I'd recommend anyone who enjoys sweet potato to try them, even people who are unsure of sweet potato because they were that good! Definitely the highlight of the meal.
The cauliflower cheese was nice, however not cooked to my preferred taste. I found it a little hard for my liking, however, I fully respect everyone likes their vegetables slightly differently. So I wouldn't knock them for it, I just probably wouldn't order that dish again.
However, the chicken quesadilla was really good too! It was cooked and spiced perfectly, I couldn't find a fault with it. The portions were perfect, as long as you ordered around 3 dishes - which was recommended anyway.

After really enjoying our main course, we decided to go for dessert. Although there wasn't much choice, they all sounded interesting and tasty. I went for some churros, whereas the girls went for Bunuelo with Tommi's tomatillo jam - which entailed sweet fried pastry, with vanilla ice-cream drizzled with homemade tomatillo jam & toasted coconut.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the churros, especially because the 'rich chocolate sauce' was dark chocolate. So I definitely regretted ordering it after experiencing the first mouthful of dark chocolate. Although the cinnamon sprinkled on the churros was really nice.
Overall we really enjoyed our meal at Wahaca - Angel and will definitely be returning for more sweet potatoes!! The waiter was also really nice, even though at first we thought he hated us, he did eventually smile and actually ended up being lovely. The atmosphere was nice and the overall cost was good, roughly £20 for a drink, shared side and three tapas dishes and a dessert! So I'm sure we'll be seeing you again soon Wahaca!
Therefore, our overall experience was
♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ out of 5!
