Wahaca, Soho, London

Work today takes me to a conference in Londinium so I take the opportunity to have dinner in the evening with my Sis (she writes the AMinorObsession blog for female fashion fans) and, after a positive coin flip, her boyfriend. I meet them in The Endurance pub before heading over to the Soho branch of Wahaca for some Mexican food.
This is very much social food in that it's messy, you eat it with fingers and there's a comforting crowd buzz about the place; I much prefer this to pin-drop quiet.
My Sis and I share a bottle of Malbec with several little dishes including frijoles, green rice, guacamole, black beans & cheese quesadillas, chicken guajillo tostadas, herring tostadas, steak tacos and pork pibil tacos. The pork tacos being the best of the lot, but the quesadillas run them a close second. The steak tacos were nicely seasoned, but a little chewy, my least favourite of the selection.

For dessert we have Churros y chocolate, which is a fine way to finish, it would be rude not to really! One other things to note from this fun restaurant: it takes no reservations, just turn up and eat, and there is a Tequila bar downstairs! I'm sure I'll find time to try it at some point...
