Wahaca Brighton in Brighton and Hove

Great service from George! (Brighton)

Food was exceptional. The buttermilk chicken tacos were to die for. And a special thank you to Theresa for her attentiveness and vivacious personality. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, wahaca brighton never disappoints

Fantastic good and very friendly staffs

Great service, food was excellent

Utterly loved our serving staff. Some of the most helpful, kindest people I have met when eating out. Plus, great knowledge about the food! :)

Was amazing food great staff and very child friendly get time and felt nice and festive

We tried the festive menu and it was excellent. Highly recommend it. Both tasty and good sized portions. We also had a vegetarian who had the veggie menu and said it was very tasty too.

Small tables is very inconvenient

Safia was great and made some really good recommendations.

I went on a busy Saturday evening without a reservation and just managed to the window high table. My server, Calvin, was very polite and welcoming. I got the beetroot tostada, sweet potato bravas and the buttermilk chicken tacos, all very flavoursome. Although I did wait a very long time for the taco's to arrive but they do make it clear that everything comes out separately, which I do find a bit strange in general.

The sheer atmosphere and quality of the food here makes you forget is is even a chain. Recommend the chicken + avocado tacos. Beware of the cinnamon on the hotchata.

My mum and I went last Sunday. The food was amazing, as always! Safia M was great, so helpful with recommendations and friendly service! :)

Great vibe and food, Safia M was our server she was amazing xx

Beautiful cocktails, fancy little plates of nibbles. Lovely staff. Highly enjoyable. We will be back with friends!!

i was brought here for my birthday. the staff was amazing and very helpful and kind, our server george was wonderful in making it a great birthday experience. the food was incredible and drinks were delicious (super strong!)

i ordered this as delivery, i had high expectations as reviews were high and i was a little dissapointed first of all by the portion size and second by the price, if you dont have a discount code you will be spending 30 pound on two burritos, they tasted decent but very padded by rice, the meat was tasty but i wish for little more black beans, overall i would order from tortilla as the price is similar if not lower and the servings are bigger, also the tortilla chips had no seasoning or nothing, i am not an 80 year old white woman, please add seasoning or even salt.

Calvin was a great server, chatty and accommodating

Ordered this on deliveroo. Took an hour and a half to arrive. The food was ok, but honestly I can't believe how small the portions were. The burrito was half the size you'd expect (smaller than my hand) and I paid £15 for it. The sweet potato starter was also ridiculously small. I feel like i've been conned

Staff are great, food and cocktails were delicious. We went with two rowdy 7yr olds but it didn't feel like we were causing trouble. In fact it was the perfect atmosphere for a family

Calvin was super nice and super efficient! We Love Calvin!!!!!

We were a large group and had a more than unpleasant experience at the restaurant. The food was mediocre and barely warm, portions were tiny and completely overpriced. When it came to paying the bill, our server was rude and told us to figure out by ourselves how much we had to pay. He got annoyed that we were a big group and that we payed separately, which took up a lot of time for him. But to be honest, he wasted the most time by not knowing how to handle the paying device. It took him 10 minutes per person to find the right paying amount. In the end he told us a large sum of money was missing but after checking again it suddenly added up. Very weird. If you‘re a big group I don‘t recommend you coming here, because you might experience similar problems.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented! I just wished there was a restaurant in my town!! If I come back to Brighton, I'll definitely repeat!

The person serving us, Calvin was very nice and helpful as I had a nut allergy.

Love having food here the staff are always so lovely and the food is always great.

Really friendly and informative customer service. Quick supply of delicious margaritas, discovery board and coffees. Would definitely return.

The atmosphere and the service is amazing. Food is really good also. Our order delayed a bit and the chef came to apologist and serve us a free delicious salad while we waited. Then they offered us free dessert, we couldn't take that since we were in a bit of a rush , instead we were given a 20% discount. Couldn't fault them, highly recommend it.

Service was excellent, the chicken tortilla small plate was lacking in flavour and texture of chicken was not that great . Food was 3.5/4 service and atmosphere very good

Had a great meal here, my waiter Calvin was very attentive and gave us some great menu recommendations. I would highly recommend the plantain tacos. They were great!

Calvin made some great veggie recommendations!

Went in trying to get a table, nobody spoke to me or even acknowledged us. Multiple people walked past including a manager.

I would definitely recommend coming here! The food was lovely, Quick service The staff were so kind and helpful we had Hayden as our server he was amazing.

First time visiting Wahaca, and wow! Food, service and atmosphere were all 100% perfection!

I don't always take time to write reviews but this place really deserves to be shouted about. Short version - this was the BEST Mexican food, with the loveliest staff and brilliant atmosphere! We loved everything about our experience and we will be back! Longer version if you want to know more! We visited on halloween night and there was a life size, traditionally made papier mache 'Mexican Day of the Dead' couple sat at the table as you walk in! The decor, staff and atmosphere if this place is instantly fun and welcoming. I had booked as it was next to Brighton's Theatre Royal and we had tickets for an evening show. We were greeted warmly by the proprieter (at least I think he was) who even remembered my name from booking! Both he and our waitress were attentive and helpful with recommendations and answering our questions about thd menu. We are vegetarian and were blown away by thd choice. I would recommend the small plates and choosing 3 each if you're hungry. The ancho mushroom taco were absolutely the best thing ever. My husband had to order a second plate of these when we should have had dessert. This comes as quesidilla and in a burrito so we will have to go back! I'm not a great cocktail fan but was bowled along by the atmosphere and tried the blackberry mojito- Zingy delicious - highly recommend this!! Service was so quick and efficient, we managed cocktails, many small plates, a sharing special and churros (divine) all in an hour and a half - perfect timing for us to get to our show! We were quite greedy as we'd skipped lunch - you could dine here and be more than satisfied with less!! Wahaca - thank you so much - We loved everything about our experience and we will be back!

The service from Hayden P was fantastic, thank you so much!

Excellent food and small plates are highly recommended. Service was excellent and staff are very friendly.

Hayden P was an excellent server!

Me and my gf visited here on the evening 05/10/24. It was our anniversary and our server, Sophie, did everything possible to make our evening as amazing as it could be. This is a bit of a delayed review, but just wanted to give our thanks to Sophie for making our evening a special one :)

I usually love Wahaca and always get the same dishes. Slapping flavour, amazing textures and just simply delicious! However today I ordered the same dishes as I always do but they were different. I asked if they had changed the way they are cooked - they said 'They have been elevated'. More dishes came out that I usually love and again so very different, the Chorizo Quesadilla was more like slop slow cooked meat. Soggy, overly salty and not what it usually is. The Mexican nachos are usually the best ever, today very greasy, no cheese and very hard, different plates, and I was like where is the chorizo! When asked if I enjoyed the meal I said 'not really sadly as the dishes are different to normal.' I was told nothing was different and it was me who was wrong and that I had the problem! Hold on 20 mins ago I was told they'd been 'elevated' so clearly different! Why ask if everything was ok if you don't like an honest response. No apology, no offer to remove the uneaten dishes from the bill, nothing at all just a rude response and the manager telling me I was wrong! Brilliant! Sadly Wahaca I do not salute you!

The food was divine although the portions are a bit small. Lovely service from the waiter who served me, we even had a comfortable conversation at one point which is rare because I have social anxiety and tend to be awkward in these situations. He even gave me a free latte at the end of my meal as I had stayed for a while which is always a nice touch, unfortunately don’t remember the name of the waiter in question but will definitely be going back to find out so I can give him full credit!

Everything was great. I recommend it definitely. Thanks to Heiden!

Heydan was really friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our meal. Day of the dead concept looks amazing! Best margaritas we’ve ever had! 🤩

Hayden was very friendly and helpful. The food was really good and the Margaritas were super.

Safia was such a great vibe tonight, absolutely made it a whole better experience than ever expected. Great time.

We had a great time on Saturday before the theatre. Really busy night, all food was delivered quickly. Hayden os a credit to the restaurant... very friendly and made our night! There was a rude customer outside and management handled the situation very well. Overall a great experience, thanks to all!

They have a great variety of food, and great service. They can offer some menu adaptations to accommodate dietry needs, which is very handy if you have an intolerance 😁

Had the most delicious rainbow bowl I’ve ever had. I had the vegan/vegitarian option and a glass of red wine. Highly recommended. Everyone there made an effort to say hello and aresuper friendly and our table waiter Hayden was great. Restaurant has a good atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Had a great meal with family Sunday afternoon. Our waitress, Fran, was very friendly and welcoming. We each had several small dishes and we all enjoyed our choices and had tasters of each other's choices. Nothing disappointed.

Came on a Sunday afternoon. Staff were all very pleasant and our waitress Fran was friendly. She checked if we had been before, as we had we were aware that ideally if you have small plates you pick two or three each. Also they won't all come out at same time as they are cooked fresh and come as soon as cooked. The standard of dishes were again very good. Will definitely tell others and will come back.

Really tasty food, really lovely and helpful staff- we had Lilith who was lovely. On a Friday evening service was a bit slow at times and did have to ask a couple times for drinks/ordering food.

Aiden was very helpful. Staff v attentive.

Serviced by Hayden who was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Other staff were also helpful. Great atmosphere, we were be back!!

Delicious food Different experience with lots of lovely little dishes Would definitely recommend a visit

What a fantastic night at Wahaca Brighton! The service, as always, was impeccable. The vibrant personalities of all the staff came alive to intoxicating salsa beat! We were seated quickly, despite being early to our reservation. We ordered drinks and guac to start, and let's not play-that wahaca quac slaps! We were asked about allergies and all our requirements were met. We then ordered a flight of tasty tacos; Halloumi, Pollock, and Buttermilk Chicken as well as an epically cheesy chorizo quesadilla! All the allergy dishes came adorned with an adorable allergy flag. Despite the suggested 2-3 plates per person, our humble order had us stuffed and satisfied. Big shout out to my girl Lilith for the exceptional service!

Great service from Safia and friendly staff. Food delicious and will be back for sure. Highly recommend.

5 star friendly service from Javier who gave us great recommendations on the menu. The food was delicious! Thank you!

The restaurant looks very clean and offers a pleasant atmosphere to eat there. It is stylishly and modernly furnished. The service was incredibly nice and accommodating. Advice was even offered when choosing dishes and when the drinks ran out, new water was brought straight away. We tried several items from the menu, including the buttermilk chicken tacos, bean and feta tostadas, and a beef burrito. We particularly enjoyed these dishes! The food was attractively presented and was well seasoned for our taste. Overall, we really liked it at Wahaca and would definitely go again. Btw. The churros were amazing and unfortunately we didn't try the drinks, but the menu really appealed to us!

Our server Javier was very funny and friendly, great food. Would definitely come again!!

Very good, very good! Everything is fresh and well seasoned.

Had such a lovely meal this evening. Our waiter was George and he was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Couldn’t recommend more, if you get the chance to come here I would!! Thankyou George👍

Wonderful service from Superwaitress ‘Sweet Caramel’ Theresa

Calvin was a great waiter, food was brilliant coffee was the highlight

Amazing food, as well as great service from Theresa!

Great food, amazing service, thank you Theresa (our server) very nice and kind, helped us celebrate our friends 20th bday. Would recommend!!

Went here for my Birthday as it is one of my favourite places to eat. Despite the changes to the menu and some out of stock ingredients changing some choices, the staff, specifically Safia who was our incredibly helpful and positive waitress, made the meal/evening wonderful. An amazing surprise of a birthday desert alongside a free plate of food to make up for the missing choices recovered my opinion of the place after a little disappointing start. I’ll for sure come back again in the future despite the menu changes because of this lovely staff.

Great food and good service. Enjoyed the favourites selection menu.

Came here last night. There were seven of us. We were looked after by George who was brilliant. The food was superb and although the restaurant was very busy, we didn’t feel rushed or forgotten about. Would definitely come again

Lovely sharing menu, plus single diner options

Came in for some dinner on my own, was seated in a lovely corner of the restaurant and Theresa (server) was very attentive and welcoming. Always enjoy a visit to wahaca and this one did not disappoint!

Lilith and safia were excellent hosts to us , friendly chatter and we played a great guessing game whilst waiting for food. Thanks a lot and see you soon , Glen and Preston

george my server was very attentive, knowledgable about the drinks and food

Very enjoyable lunch. My mum & I shared guacamole & tortilla chips to start and then fish tacos, Bloody Mary prawns and the avocado & cos salad. For afters we shared the tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious. My mum especially enjoyed the non alcoholic margaritas too! I ordered the black bean and three cheese quesadillas for take away and those were also very tasty. Definitely recommend & hope to be back soon. Thank you to Hayden for great service! ☺️

Perfect experience, excellent service and amazing food, best restaurant in Brighton!

You can see how big the meals are and you can order depending how hungry you are but they are very filling

Was highly impresses with the service the food and drinks. The menu had an amazing selection and the server told us the daily specials. We opted to choose a few different plates and share them. The non alcoholic cocktails are out of this world very unique. You are not badgered by staff constantly. Will definitely be returning
