Wahaca : Tapas Mexicano-style

Pam and Matt reminded me tonight that it's been criminally long since I last wrote ... so here is the latest place visited :-)

Where : 66 Chandos Place WC2N 4HG
Website : www.wahaca.co.uk

Another gem fron Pammie, and right around the corner from my office! This place is seriously cool, a great beginning to a night out or just to catch up with old friends ...

First impressions are great. You walk downstairs into a warehousy type open plan space with warm, vibrant Mexican colours. The mood is buzzy, everyone is chatting away happily and the food looks great.

It also tastes great! Being tapas style, we orderd 7 dishes to share - the taquitos (pork especially) just melted in your mouth, tostadas were gooey and cheesy like I like them, and the frijoles were so good we re-orderd them. Drinks matched the food - we sampled the mojito, day of the dead cocktail and tamarind margharita and all were excellent!

As part of the day of the dead festival, we were given a free shot of tequila with a sagrita chaser - kind of like a spicy (with chilli) tomato juice - fantastic combination .... we're going to use that one again I think :)

That's all folks ... I promise my next post won't be so far away ... :)
