We had a lovely dining experience at Wahaca Edinburgh, made even better thanks to the excellent service from Matteo. He was incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived. He took the time to guide us through the menu, explained the different dishes clearly, and gave thoughtful recommendations on portion sizes — which turned out to be perfect! Matteo’s positive attitude, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm made us feel very welcome and relaxed throughout our meal. It’s rare to come across such outstanding customer service, and he really made a great impression on us. Thank you, Matteo, for making our visit so enjoyable — we’ll definitely be back! 🌮😊

An awful experience. Not recommended at all. Don't waste your time and money for a small portion of food and rude service.

We were truly looking forward to this meal. Wahaca was the last restaurant we chose to visit before catching our train back to London. We wanted to enjoy some good Mexican food to wrap up our trip on a high note. Unfortunately, we couldn’t have made a worse choice. From the moment we stepped in, the experience was disappointing. The front-of-house staff, who is most probably the manager, was downright rude, inflexible, and had an off-putting, almost confrontational attitude. There was zero sense of hospitality. As for the food? Disappointing and overpriced. The portions were tiny, and the flavor was bland and forgettable. Wahaca Edinburgh left such a bad taste that we regretted spending our final meal there. If you’re in town and thinking of trying it, don’t. There are so many better places in Edinburgh to spend your time and money. Avoid this place.

I admit I don't understand these high ratings. When we were there, there was more guacamole. I find it a little odd that a Mexican restaurant would run out at 7 p.m.... It would have been nice if the waitress had warned us upfront. Aside from that, I didn't find the food particularly good. The plantain tacos are original.

Great kids menu (1 would feed an 8 year old so younger kids could share). Excellent choice of food and interesting drinks. It's not cheap but it's something you are unlikely to cook at home. Great range of flavours.

Food was fine but added tax on bill was a shock. I get tax but put it on the price of the meal. Service charge & tax added £12 & left a bad taste.

Excellent Mexican cuisine, wonderful environment, great music. They don't bring the food to the table all at once, but as it is finished in the kitchen. So everyone can eat differently, but it is suitable for sharing plates. Everything we tasted (a party of five) was excellent. Reasonable price for me considering the location and absolutely luxurious margaritas.

It is a nice, modern restaurant with good food and service. The service was good, the food came quickly and well, as well as the drinks. One thing that could be improved would be the music, which should be more Mexican in style and with a better atmosphere, but the decor is still good. I recommend the restaurant for a delicious meal with friends or family.
