Wahaca Brighton

Didn’t book but still were able to accommodate us and answered any questions we had! Delicious food and will definitely come back when in Brighton again! Nicest staff and brought out free dessert for a birthday!

Food was amazing our waiter was so nice as well. Unfortunately they don’t allow dogs inside so we had to sit outside which was cold as the heaters weren’t working but it was definitely worth it. Will go there again soon. It would be better if they’d played their lovely music outside as well.

Went for a few small bites. Food was ok, different tastes so expect your taste buds to be tickled. Service was pretty slow for drinks to be honest. Won't be in a rush to go back there any time soon. Also service tax on top of VAT, this ain't America!!

Needed some dinner and we decided on Wahaca. The food was nice, staff were always smiling and helpful. Service charge was added by default We had had a large beef burrito, there was more wrap than beef, the burrito was nice and should have asked for an extra portion of beef. Grilled 'Halloumi Al Pastor' was good, but eat it when it comes out hot or it taste rubbery Ancho mushrooms were also good Drinks options, they have what you want and able to make anything off the menu within reason

I was truly happy with what I ordered. The chicken & avocado taco, the pork taco, and the gringo taco. Also the chips and guac and the salsa trio were all delicious. The service was exemplary. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. You should probably make a reservation. They are usually pretty busy. And worth it!

Amazing restaurant. Really nice setting and atmosphere. Staff are so so nice. Shout out to Lilith, our waitress, she was super accommodating and really nice, one of the nicest service experiences I’ve had. Food was great, took a little longer than expected to arrive (they did seem a little short staffed), but we got free guacamole and tortilla chips which were amazing and a great touch.

Came here with my sister and the food was amazing!! Such flavourful food, and really affordable too! perfect for lunch and dinner, and doesn’t leave you feeling gross as all the ingredients are really fresh and you can tell the food has been made with love and care!! i will definitely be coming back!! the churros were the highlight 😆😆

Really friendly and informative customer service. Quick supply of delicious margaritas, discovery board and coffees. Would definitely return.

Delicious, great service. I was pleasantly surprised to have delicious Mexican food in Brighton, England. Everything we tried was excellent.

I'd heard good things about Wahaca from quite a lot of the Yelp crew over the past year, so you can imagine I was super excited to see that Brighton now has it's very own Wahaca! It's was extremely busy in the first couple of weeks since opening and almost impossible to get a table! Luckily on a busy Saturday a member of staff did her best to squeeze myself and Scott C in. Now Brighton has its fair share of Mexican restaurants. I wasn't really too sure what to expect, as the various independents and chains in Brighton really vary a lot in quality. Our server was a lovely young lady called Sam, who talked us through the menu and said that Wahaca is mainly known for it's smaller street food dishes. You pick 2-3 dishes per person and share (or not share, depending on your mood). Scott and I opted for a few street food dishes between us, which turned out to be a lot more filling than I expected! I've been a few times since my first visit - it's a good place to pop in for a light lunch if you're in town, and excellent for meeting friends for cocktails. Overall I am super impressed. Wahaca has been a fab addition to the Brighton food scene in my opinion :)

A hip and lively place serving delicious Mexican food. I really loved the ambiance here and the staff were very friendly. Lots of options for small plates, bigger plates, and drinks. Also a nice place to sit outside when it's sunny, though it can be crowded.

I've been meaning to visit here since it first opened earlier this year - the bright decor and atmosphere has always attracted me! I was not disappointed. We didn't book and it was a busy night so we had a little wait but it was the perfect excuse to sit outside in the sun enjoying a cocktail & a pot of guacamole. Once seated we ordered a mix of 5 tapas style dishes, I was sceptical that this would be enough food for 2 but I was wrong, there was plenty. My friend is a veggie so we stuck to non meat dishes and they were really tasty and packed full of flavour. Our meal came to under £30 for two of us, we left very happy and full.

So, originally being a Londoner, I was very excited to hear that they were opening a branch of Wahaca in Brighton. Wahaca speaks to my love of small plates and Mexican food. Boyfriend and I went last Saturday night. It was packed, understandable as it is a new restaurant so lots of Brightonians have been checking it out, and it was a beautifully sunny weekend in Brighton so lots of tourist trade also, and the first weekend of the Fringe. This isn't so much of a problem, knowing this we tried to book a table, however, they have a policy of not taking bookings after 6pm (we were trying to book for 8:30pm). The logic behind this is apparently that they have a quick turn around of tables so you can just have a drink at the bar. I don't particularly like this policy, as most other places have a a combination of the two where they hold some but not all tables for reservations. Anyhow, we decided to go along anyway, we went at around half 8 and it was an hour and a half wait. We sat in the bar during this time and had a couple of drinks which was fine, but the skeptic in me thinks this is a money making scheme... Anyway, when we did get to the table the service was great. Emily, our waitress was bubbly and chatty, amazing given that she had been working for 11 hours at that point! We ordered steak tacos with cheese, ancho chicken tacos, fish tacos, chorizo and potato quasedilla and crab and shrimp taquito. Now I can't stand seafood but boyfriend loves it so he was pleased to see the new taquito on the menu. He was satisfied but said he had had better. For both of us the star of the show was the ancho chicken tacos, new to the menu and probably the best dish I've had a wahaca on any of my visits to their London branches! Lovely and spicy and flavoursome. We were both really full but I couldn't leave without getting my churro fix so we shared a portion (which I ate most of). They were a little overcooked but still lovely. Overall a lovely meal, though I may refrain from going back on a weekend until the buzz around the place has died down somewhat, might be one for a weekday lunch on a day off from work.

As a great lover of Mexican food, I was excited to try Wahaca when it came to Brighton. The interior is really funky and the food selection is really good. I like the unique idea of Mexican tapas - something that you don't get often over here. Unfortunately there are several things that let it down for me. The food doesn't all come out at once (and they actually tell you that when you order, as if they think that it somehow makes it acceptable that they don't know how to time their food properly) and when it does come out, it's not always as hot as it should be. Additionally, the service is a bit clunky and slow. The food is decent but nothing particularly exciting. I would probably go back because the choices are very good and it is good for groups, but there are definitely other places that I would rather go to instead.

Sam at wahaca was amazing loved the way she pronounced the Viognier wine had the table laughing. Loved her will be coming back more often.

Very friendly staff-really good service. Food was nice but not above average. We opted for Mexican tapas we had 5 dishes- perfect for the 2 of us. Food was standard Mexican although a little overpriced for what it is as nothing that special. One of the dishes came loaded with coriander despite not stating it on the menu which was very disappointing for me as I can't stand coriander!! Cocktails were ok- passion fruit mojito and passion fruit margarita went down nicely.

Wahaca chain restaurants are the best mexican outside Mexico and wahaca brighton doesn't come short from this. Great service and great food! Very Child friendly as well!

Terrible food and terrible service. Food somewhat resembled Mexican, but certainly didn't taste like it.

went to this place on 5th june. the service was dire.completly ignored for twenty minutes had to find a member of staff to be served. no water offered. ordered our meal plus nibbles ,drinks and a side dish.side dish arrived first.just thrown on table. then one main dish arrived followed by nibbles and drinks . sometime later second main arrived.meal was nice. after finishing meal nobody attempted to clear the table. had to find staff to ask for more drinks and the bill. after sometime the bill arrived but no drinks!off they went when i said please cancel the drinks. then the drinks arrived but no bill. eventually the bill came but no staff waited to take money. after waiting i left payment on the table and left.customer service skills were non existent would never go to this branch again
