Randomness Guide to London Menu

Mexican place in Covent Garden, opened mid-2007. Dos Hermanos say it's not bad, and the margaritas are good, but the kitchen does under-season the food so take advantage of the salt, lime, and habanero sauce at the table.

Doesn't look too expensive — burritos cost between £5.50 (marinated chicken, or sauteed summer vegetables) and £6 (char-grilled steak), and main courses between £7.75 (chargrilled vegetables with chipotle slaw and rice) and £11 (fish of the week with tomatillo sauce, rice, and beans).

The heart of the menu though is the "street food" section, which recommends choosing 2-3 dishes per person; these are all priced between £3.25 and £5, and include tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, and taquitos, with fillings ranging from aubergine, potato, and goats' cheese to slow-cooked pork. You can also get a set selection for two people to share, at £22.50.

One unusual starter is pork scratchings served with guacamole (£3).

They put emphasis on using seasonal produce, sustainable fish, and free-range meat. They even offer a British wine — it's pricy though; a sparkling rose at £45. (Other wines start at £11.75, or £3 by the glass. All wines except the sparkling one are available by the 175ml glass, 500ml carafe, or bottle.)

Comment added by Joe cripson: I went to eat at this place and oh my god MEXICO HAS LANDED! This is by a long way the greatest and most authentic mexician cusine i have tasted since i have been back in the UK. I spent 6 months traveling around Mexico and loved the food and was gutted when i got back i couldnt find anywhere to eat, Then WAHACA arrived The food is so good and cheap my word value for money should be benchmarked against this new concept. And that is what it is a new concept! nothing like this exsists in the west end or even in london at the moment, the atmosphere there along with the food makes this a perfect venue for all occasions. Kudos to the creators. Kudos!
