The Priory Arms in Lambeth

Payed a table for new years eve almost 1000 pounds,to sit behind a wall and a look to no where,a shame how they treat costumers

⭐️“We walked in for a quick bite and walked out as taco experts.”⭐️ 1/365 – Wahaca London Southbank It’s a rainy day. The first day of the year spent in a metropolis. The metropolis in question is London—where a night of rain transforms into a tangle of lights, shadows, and reflections, as if stepping into an oil pastel painting, one of those Dutch masterpieces. The city is alive; those who didn’t exhaust themselves celebrating the night before are out on the streets, taking advantage of the still-sleepy avenues to snap touristy photos—without the tourists. Hunger strikes, and the colorful windows of Wahaca, their hues intensified by the rain’s reflections, act as the perfect advertisement. Climbing the stairs, the darkness and emptiness of the restaurant’s exterior seating area almost convince you to turn back—there must be better places nearby. But if, like me, you choose to ignore that fleeting doubt and push forward, you’ll be greeted by a captivating wave of spices. The lights are dim, the staff is warm and welcoming, letting you choose your own table. Service is fast; within moments, the menu is in your hands, and your drink order is taken. We’re not too hungry, so we settle on tacos. The waiter advises ordering at least three since they’re quite small. He gestures toward the counter, where freshly prepared tacos are being plated. As I follow his finger, the tacos—perfectly arranged—seem to glow under the lights. I can almost hear a drumroll, like a scene straight out of The Fairly OddParents. Even with my nearsighted vision, the presentation is a solid 10/10. We order Ancho Mushroom and Gringas Beef. The latter catches my attention—its name feels Brazilian, yet somehow girly, matching my mood perfectly. As we chat, surrounded by the background sizzle of frying oil, our tacos arrive. The plating is simple, contrasting with the vibrant colors of the dish. Gringas Beef is the first to land on the table. A playful mix of bold flavors with a citrusy kick—unexpected yet intriguing. The balance of coriander, lime, and the tender beef creates an exciting contrast, like a melody with a surprising key change. 7/10—a touch more juiciness and spice would have elevated it. But the real reason for the 7? It wouldn’t be fair to the tacos we ordered next. Because, of course, we couldn’t stop at just two. We walked in for a quick bite and walked out as taco experts. Our second choice? Ancho Mushroom. A bold explosion of greens and purples. I loved the contrast of the raw mushrooms, the sweetness and crunch of the beetroot chip on top, all tied together by an avocado sauce. 9/10. And the last taco? No spoilers, but let’s just say we had to order a second round. It was the Buttermilk Chicken Taco, a recommendation straight from our waitress—whom we now trusted completely. The chicken was fried to perfection, with an almost sacred balance between spice, the crisp freshness of the slaw, and the tang of pickled red onions. Beautifully plated, once again. If you're looking for a flavorful trip with no strings attached, blending the spices of the East with the portions of the West, Wahaca is the perfect place. Xoxo, Critic Girl
