Hola! It was kind of sunny and therefore time for Mexican. Si?
Wahaca has opened in the new Paddington Square development, which is far more than a large office building.
The restaurant is really bright and spacious inside, perhaps too spacious as they took a while to bring me a menu… maybe they couldn’t see me.
The menu consists of tacos, platitos, quesadillas, tostada and salads…at least for the small plates section. There were larger plates too but I didn’t really consider them.
Fried cauliflower bites were close to superb but really needed longer in the deep fat fryer… crispy yet lacking a proper golden crunch. The jalapeno alioli added some pleasant warmth and a slight kick…I approved.
Alas the chorizo quesadillas weren’t so delightful…I could pretty much only taste over-caramelised red onion, which had a tang if burnt to it.
It’s a pleasant place, though a tad pricey too…£19 ish including service charge.
There’s plenty else on the menu I’d like to try…but also plenty other places to try in Paddington.
Rating of 6.5 out of 10.
