Wahaca Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

it was the most delicious food i’ve ever had. martas recommendations were fabulous. i loved it

Food was delicious! And service from Matteo was excellent! He took care of me and my boyfriend. We will definitely come back!

Overall experience was amazing! Our Waiter Matteo was very professional and kind! Will definitely be back

Service friendly attentive and super speedy. Food OK to decent. Missing seasoning here and there.

We had a great time in this restaurant which we highly recommend. Superb dining experience!

Popped in for some delicious tacos - yum. Lovely service from Mark too! Thank you.

Great cocktails, nice atmosphere

Joaco and Veronica were absolutely divine. Made us feel very welcome and took good care of us. Would recommend the Picante Margarita

I am currently living in Dallas, Texas, and have travelled widely throughout Mexico and the southwestern US. Mexican cuisine is among my favourites. I dropped into Wahaca (Mexican spelling is "Oaxaca") on a lark to see how Mexican food fares in Scotland. I ordered the nachos with a side of pico de gallo. The pico was fresh and tasty, but lacking in either serrano or jalapeno peppers. The staff was quite accommodating, however, and brought me fresh jalapeno for a "pico do-it-yourself kit." (Noelia from Andalucia was tremendous and is largely the reason I give Wahaca five stars for service.) All ingredients were fresh, the locally sourced chorizo was quite good, and overall the nachos were tasty. But if you are used to the flavours and ingredients found in Dallas, Phoenix, Albuquerque, or Mexico City, that is not what to expect here -- at least from the limited fare that I sampled. Nonetheless, Wahaca is worth a look. After all, where else is Sir Veza on the menu?

Truly excellent. Expectations surpassed. Delicious food and brilliant service. Really considerate to allergies. Will be returning!

The food was excellent and we had a very enjoyable experience. It was particularly made pleasurable by the service we received from Mark, who was outstanding; great recommendations, attentive service and a very friendly manner.

Delicious food and good service.

Everything was so delicious! We tried nearly half of the menu and every dish was stunning. Amazing staff!

Very quick service and friendly staff- seated quickly at a lovely table and Jasmine was great!

Noelia C was a lovely server and couldn’t have offered us a better service!

Great evening, great food, great service! Tomas was especially kind and friendly!! The veggie sharing menu was delicious

Such an amazing place. Matteo was amazing with us. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Food was delicious, espetacular. We really can see that is fresh made as Matteo told us.

excellent food, even more excellent drinks. services are top notch. i recommend the wahaca colada!

This was our charity’s first visit to Wahaca Edinburgh - the staff were so accommodating and friendly of our diverse group - it definitely wont be our last visit!

Absolutely fantastic staff, delicious food and overall lovely place to eat in Edinburgh. We had a range of small plates and each was delicious. My fav was the sweet potato taquitos, and the chicken tacos! The food really is a standout! Thank you so much!

Lovely food as always. We have several allergies in our family and we always know Wahaca is a safe place for us. The staff is lovely and knowledgable.

Alisa served us and was very good 🙂

Had a delicious meal pre theatre with friends. Highly recommend the pork pibil and beef gringa. Staff checked in all the time making sure everything was good. 10/10 would recommend!

Today we had dinner at your establishment! The food is, as always, top notch. The waiter Matteo was especially nice and pleasant. He very patiently told us about the menu, helped us with the choice and was very friendly. Thank you very much🫶

We visited your establishment for the first time today! It was very cool! Thanks to our waiter Matteo (Matteo) for the great mood and advice about the menu! He told us everything in detail and helped us with the choice of food) Everything was very tasty! I recommend this establishment and will definitely visit you again!

Great food and service, will definitely be back

Mark was an amazing server! He was bang on with his recommendations and an absolute delight.

I entered this restaurant by chance, but the staff was friendly and the food was delicious. It was especially nice that they had a children's set!

Great food, will be coming back

Amazing dinner at Wahaca. Thank you to our handsome waiter Mark - you had so much knowledge about the dishes and we are grateful for your great service. We will be back soon. Bertha and Bessie

Visiting for some dinner and had the sweet potato taquito which was recommended by our lovely waiter mark. He went above and beyond and was so accommodating. Will definitely be returning!

Mark was absolutely outstanding! So helpful and attentive!

Lovely meal, great veggie options for me and my partner. Alisa was lovely as were the rest of the staff. Drinks were very good too.

Matteo attended to us and was charming, the best service we have had in a long time. Super attentive and very attentive. We will return for it without a doubt.

Food was great and fantastic service from Alisa B.

We had an appointment to make and the food came out so quick we were amazed!! The food itself was delicious and the portion sizes are large for the price. Our server Alisa was very good and friendly. Definitely recommend!!

Food was absolutely delicious, best mexican place in scotland for sure!

Alisa and Alex... very friendly, helped us and choose the best dishes from the menu Very good and professional service.. Highly recommend...👍

Alisa was great and looked after us really well.

Wonderful dinner, delicious food, and Alissia's service was very friendly and efficient.

Had an amazing time and food. Alisa was brilliant in providing her recommendations and bringing the menu to live!

It was amazing, great food, good service overall really recommend to go out for a meal

Nicolas is the best bartender, Great service

Phenomenal service, food was outstanding

First time here and didn’t know what to expect but loved the food espically the sweet potato taco and the staff so helpful explaining everything. The lunch for one definitely delivers giving you a taste of all the delicious things to try in the menu.

A very nice meal at Wahaca tonight we had the Discovery favourite menu which was a great way of trying different things , great service friendly helpful and professional. Thanks for a great evening.

Absolutely loved it, the food and service was fantastic. It was our first time here and will be back! Definitely recommend

I don’t know how many times I visit Wahaca cause everything is incredible! It was my last lunch at Wahaca since I need to go back home on Sunday! But def will come back again once visiting Edinburgh. And the service always top-notch!!!!! They are all friendly and accommodating. Love the ambience. Will miss their fish tacos and slow cooked beef burrito 😭😭

All the staff were so lovely and friendly! We will definitely be back!

Best Mexican food I’ve ever had and cocktails are fabulous. Matteo B really looked after us and we’ve had a lovely experience. Definitely recommend a visit!

Nipped in for a bite. Found service quick and friendly. Food fresh and tasty.

Visited here for the first time a few days ago, what a great place. The staff were all friendly and attentive and the food was great - lots of veggie options! Everything was delicious, highly recommend the halloumi tacos! Will definitely be back!

Good food, reasonably priced and great atmosphere. Our server, Connor , was, attentive, friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and paid special attention to my daughter’s food intolerance.

The vegan food was incredible. And the waiter - Conor helped us with the menu. He was very polite, and the food came out super quick!

Awesome food, the person who developed this menu and the drinks is a genius! Plenty of mocktails to try, and a relaxing atmosphere as well.

honestly quite good. i was not expecting much from mexican food in europe coming from california, but i thought they had a lovely selection of vegetarian options and good atmosphere too! fun drink menu as well although the mock colada was not blended and over ice which we weren’t expecting. i got the crispy cauliflower and sweet potato taquito and it was both very good.

What a great place… we were looking for somewhere to eat before a show and we were recommended Wahaca. We turned up early, but that was no issue. We got our table and were offered some help with the menu and asked for our drinks order. Drinks came along quick, and food order was taken shortly after. Jasmine (our server) was great. Friendly, offered suggestions and got our orders quickly. Food was immense. Would highly recommend.

A spacious and well decorated place, with good music and friendly lighting. Everything is tasteful, from the decoration, the music and the food. The waiter who served us, Mateo, has been super friendly and attentive to all our food problems and requests, and has served us in Spanish. The tacos, bravas, quesadillas and desserts were delicious (we had churros and ice cream). We liked the cocktails, they were well balanced and there were options with and without alcohol.

Food was amazing, classic margarita was one of the best I’ve ever had to drink.

Very good cocktails, tacos, burritos and desserts. Welcoming and attentive staff.

It is a very good restaurant. Both the food and service are perfect. We arrived 25 minutes later than the time we reserved due to traffic. Our table was already taken, logically. We were given another table and the host moved some other reservations so that we could sit a little longer. Very attentive staff. Worth repeating!

Nice place and service. Big place too. Most of what we ordered was nice

Fantastic food, great service and our sever Tomas was very friendly and knowledgeable! Really great experience!

Super nice service, delicious food and great drinks can only be recommended

We booked in advance for Wahaca & turned up half an hour early. They were fantastic & accommodated us straight away because they'd already prepared our table despite being full. Our waiter, Matthew, came straight over & we ordered drinks before he explained the menu to us. My wife ordered a manzanita cocktail, which she said was, "amazing" and I had the horchata, which was very refreshing. We opted for the vegetarian set menu, which had 7 dishes to share. All of the dishes were fantastic, but our favourites were the black bean quesadilla & the plantain taco. Following that, Matthew recommended the chocolate & pecan brownies. We ordered those with churros & cajeta. They were all fantastic & we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. This was the best meal we've had in a long time. The service was superb & everyone was very helpful & friendly in a restaurant that boasts a lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend it! We've been before, but the place and the food has reached an even higher standard than on that fabulous first visit. We shall definitely be returning! A***** Excellent!

the best burrito I had for a long time. Mate was exceptional

It's been a pleasure to have lunch there thx to Marc,our waiter. Food it's been perfect for kids and adults also. See you soon!

Best Mexican I’ve eaten. The food here is amazing!! The halloumi tacos are a must. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu.

Travelling the world for the last 2 months. This is by far the best meal and best cocktail I've had. Great staff , great music too.

Some dishes were great, others mediocre. Definitely a problem with under staffing. Our waitress Alisa was lovely but clearly overworked. She was a real gem, keeping her head and a smile when she was clearly run off her feet.

Good food. Helpful and friendly staff.

The sweet potato and feta taquito is LUSH

Amazing food and great service. Very nice and fun restaurant!

Very delicious 👍 I liked their chicken quesadilla and beef tacos

Great food, great server. Was kind of busy but they managed it really well and were so kind :) will definitely be back!

5-Star everything. From the time we walked in the door, these guys were super nice and attentive. The food was great! And they asked about food allergies up front, which we ALWAYS appreciate. I come here every time I’m in town, and I’ll be back again!

I’m from California so I am aware of what good Mexican food and flavor is. This is a fusion for sure but EXCELLENT— there’s a real chef back there making some unexpected and great food. Can’t wait to return. And impeccable service, too. Eat here without hesitation if you love real, flavorful food.

Good atmosphere. Ok food. Very slow service. Just not worth returning. We waited and waited…1 meal came after everyone else had finished with theirs. And then every time we asked for something it would take 10-15 minutes to arrive. 3 X’s I had to get up to ask for items: my food, water, more chips and salsa, napkins. Veggie nachos and churros were good. Everything else was just ok.

First time visit, was a very pleasant experience. Got the small plates favourites menu, or should I say not so small plates....delicious! Staff member, who was also very attentive, told us that these would come out at different times, which we expected, but all were served within about 3-5 minutes which I thought was excellent. Overall a great experience and we will definitely return.

We ate in Edinburgh. The food was really delicious and fresh, the cocktails were excellent and the service was impeccable. Thank you Matteo!

Came for lunch time service, had the beef,chicken, and pork tacos, ordered the plantain but it didn't arrive also had the Mexico city nachos and chorizo quesadillas, they all were delicious really good,really fresh and vibrant flavours. We washed out meal down with passion fruit margaritas which were close on 10 pound but absolutely worth it. Our waitress Naomi was a great, really efficient and cheerful. The only thing that let our experience down would be the playlist, music was a really cheesy mix of pop and old hits, from Queen to Abba and everything in between, felt it slightly detracted from the authentic experience.

Food was good and nice, Service was great and they helped us a lot, atmosphere was good with some song and drawings.

I recently dined at Wahaca, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish The ambiance was vibrant and welcoming, immediately transporting us to the heart of Mexico with its colorful decor and lively music. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the service. Thomas, our waiter, was exceptional. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, guiding us to some of the best dishes the restaurant has to offer.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty food Recommended

To be honest the food was good while I was eating it but the minute I got home I threw up soooo much I couldn’t stop throwing up and I’m not sick at all or pregnant I think they literally gave me food poisoning I’m sitting in my bed in the cold and I feel warm and super sick!! Maybe just don’t order the chicken rainbow bowl??

Great atmosphere and vibe in a trendy building. Food was very tasty and service attentive.

Great food - really tasty. And excellent, friendly service

Really nice place, excellent service and very tasty food. Highly reccomended!

Food tasty but expensive for small portions.

Nice reasonable priced Mexican food

Had heard good things about Wahaca so decided to visit when grabbing dinner with a friend. The staff were cheerful and helpful and the service overall was very good - mentioned an allergen and the staff were very attentive and brought over the allergen menu to double check everything. The food was delicious but portions were on the small side for the price i’d say (quesadillas were roughly £8). But i think this is just the case for most tapas-style restaurants! Overall a pleasant experience!

Wahaca went above and beyond in accommodating my anaphylactic food allergy. Everything was delicious and I didn’t get sick- all you can ask for and more! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an allergy friendly experience in Edinburgh.

Firstly a couple of good points. Staff were friendly and the environment was clean, and the classic Margarits were great. My husband's potato dish was tasty too. That's where the positives end. I think this is our worst meal out, ever. Food was very processed, nothing fresh. We actually saw food sitting up under lights prior to us ordering, and then it was served to us. Truly awful. We'd always wanted to come through from Glasgow, but what a disappointment. How can you go wrong with tenderstem broccoli. It tasted greasy, and so did the fish tacos, which were also overcooked. Do yourself a favour and don't ever go here. If we ever receive a gift voucher again, we wouldn't even pass it on to someone else. I wouldn't do this to anyone. Overpriced, truly awful food. Just for the record, we eat out at restaurants at least weekly, so we know when something is bad. Certainly won't be recommending this place to anyone I know, in fact I'd actively encourage to avoid.

Excellent food and service. Very impressed.

Really great Mexican food. First visit but will def keep the name in mind for future occasions. Would recommend it for proper quality Mexican cuisine.

Quick service good food . BUT NO WHISKEY :-(

Great vegan selections and the nicest staff

Great food with great service a real treat its so refreshing to be served freshly cooked food . Well done team Wahaca. Xx

Husband and I opted for one of the Discovery menus. Plenty food for 2 of us. Fresh & delicious with beautiful flavours. Servers were attentive and friendly l. Good music (unobtrusive and not too loud) and good vibe. We will return.

Been here a few times and doesn't disappoint. Fairly priced and food is great. Staff are very attentive and service is quick. Good menu to cater for most tastes.
