Wahaca Islington in Islington

Amazing tacos in town. Thank you Carlos for taking care of us!

We had such a lovely night out at Wahaca! The food was absolutely amazing—I just couldn’t stop munching on their guacamole, it’s that good! The vibe was fantastic, and the service was outstanding. A big shoutout to Tom, who took extra care of our table. He checked in on us several times, made sure we had everything we needed, and was both kind and funny. He really took the time to understand our tastes and gave us great recommendations, which made the experience even better. We sat by the window, which was the perfect spot to watch the lively crowd in Islington while enjoying the warmth inside and soaking up the great atmosphere. To top it all off, the chocolate churros were the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely delicious food! And our server Carlos couldn’t have been more helpful, great service 👍

Excessive fried foods. Sweet potatoe dripping in oil.

Lovely waiters/ waitresses, food is good but vibes kinda ruined when we saw TWO mice running around the restaurant.

Was great for a Monday evening. Carlos was wonderful and helpful, very polite. Thank you

My first time here and everything was amazing. The 3 margaritas cocktails you should orders is divine. Amazing service by Carlos ♥️

Good food and great service. Our server Carlos was lovely and super helpful, especially when it came to catering to my sister’s food allergies . Overall had a great lunch with my sister. Thanks again Carlos :)

Carlos, the waiter, was very attentive and full of positivity. Will definitely come back here again💯

Our server, Agnes, was brilliant - Friendly and efficient and food was great.

Carlos was a lovely waiter, service was excellent!

Great service, Carlos was fabulous!

The food was amazing and delicious with affordable price. The decoration and music make me feel like I'm in Mexico with lively soundtrack. Although the appearance outside is modest, inside space is super spacious and well-decorated. My favorite dish is beef tacos and quesadilla. The churros dessert is tasty as well. I definitely comeback next time. I highly recommend you to try this restaurant.

Excellent service and recommendation from David! Best taco in town!

The food is always lovely here and the service is excellent :)

Nice restaurant. Satff is lovely and efficient and food is very tasty too 😋

We came in for lunch and were seated and served straight away. Our waiter Carlos was very friendly and attentive, he explained the menu and let us know what deals they had on. The food was delicious and the service was quick.

We were looked after very well by Carlos on Upper Street! Will definitely come back!

It was our first visit in Wahaca and we really enjoyed our time there. We were looked after by lovely Carlos who explained everything very well, gave good recommendations and was very nice and polite. Food was very tasty and good range of choices

It was my first visit in Wahaca. The food was very nice, Carlos who was looking after our table was very friendly, polite and always had a smile on his face. I really liked the beef tacos !

Went in yesterday with my son with multiple allergies. Staff were beyond excellent. Manager and server both double checked everything, went through the thorough allergy menu with us and walked a good balance between caution and yet making us feel welcome. It’s rare as a family that we eat so comfortably and the food and drinks were excellent.

Sariga was lovely!! Great service

Weak mojitio Tea had a soggy mint leaf in Not enough vegan options

Carlos was a very good waiter amazing service and made our first time in wahaca great. Would 100% recommend and come back again and again!

The food was delicious, great music and Carlos was the sweetest person ever made me and my girlfriend feel very comfortable and gave great recommendations I would highly recommend this place.

Great food and great staff. I’m coeliac so served by a manager and by Carlos. Both were great.

The food are so yum especially those tacos also Canlos is really really nice

Delicious and great service Carlos

Pretty tasty but a bit samey. Basically all the vegan options are mushroom which is a bit boring. Wish they'd bring back the "chicken" tacos.

Fantastic experience. Excellent food and drink. First class service by Georgios. Will be back

AGNES. Five letters her name and FIVE STARS FOR HER. THE HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS. Peace. ✌🏼

Agnes was simply unbelievable, she should be at the ritz

Great food and ambience. Agnus was very kind and helpful, talked through the menu and even recommended us one of the best Tiramisu’s I’ve had in a while ❤️

Went Friday night - server was Carlos - great flavourful food, and lovely service. Manager also very courteous despite place being packed. Will return.

If you’re good to Carlos, Carlos is good to you! 5⭐️

Tried our second Wahaca, even more impressed than our experience at the Oxford Circus branch . Food was even better, service better and it’s a different restaurant with a better atmosphere. This branch seems more family oriented. Great service from our waitress and yes, the food was amazing

Had a hankering for nachos for a few weeks. Found Wahaca around the corner from the hotel I was staying at solve t a try. Nicely set up, ample seating, bright and cheery. Staff friendly. Ordered the Veggie Nachos; asked my server Agnes if the chorizo in the Mexico City nachos could he swapped out for ground beef, she said no, she didn't think so. Order came out very quick and was good. Nacho to toppings ratio was perfect. The passion fruit margarita was excellent! More ice in the glass than margarita so a little disappointed. Churros with caramel sauce was also good, they were not hard like many places serve. Coffee was ok, could have been hotter. Good meal, no cash accepted.

Very nice service by Carlos food was great

Our server Agnes was delightful! Thanks a lot

Agnes was fantastic, warm and friendly. Great service

Carlos B was great, the service was lovely and very personable, and the food was good.

Carlos was a lovely help. We want to see some super Mexican art on the walls. There is a big empty wall where we are sitting. Perfect for art work.

Everything was magical and perfect. Carlos is the best server!

Came in shortly before closing. Agnes’ service was A1 and made us feel super comfortable and taken care of/ not rushed.

We were served by Agnes D who was amazing. She was well versed on the menu options and provided me with great recommendations. She was polite, witty and made our trip.
