Reviews For Wahaca Cardiff

Excellent Mexican food, very tasty and feels like a nice healthy meal, not stodgy. Well priced vs other city centre food. Wahaca platter for one recommended, as are the potatoes bravas, with the pork the best meat on offer on my visit. Cocktails are lovely. No beer on tap but out of can/bottle. Loads of indoor seating across three floors, with an outside area that gets sun in the afternoon/evening, although umbrellas/gazebos are up to protect you from direct sunlight. Service was quick, i didnt have to spend long with an empty glass. Can pay via QR code on the table for convenience. St. Davids probably the closest car park. Would visit again.

We booked a table of 18 for a hen party- 3 people with allergies in the party and done fussy eaters too, so we're a complicated group. The staff were amazing, so accommodating! Food and drinks were beautiful, great veggie, vegan and gluten free options.

Absolutely brilliant start to our City break in Cardiff. We sampled the Veggie discovery experience and it didn’t disappoint! Sophie was the perfect hostess - a credit to the restaurant. Thank you

Had a nice lunch with colleagues and we all enjoyed it. Tortilla chips to share with delicious guacamole and dips, battered cauliflower was tasty. Mains of generous beef burritos, beef and fish tacos, sweet potato taquitos, salad bowls, all were delicious. Mocktails and fruit coolers were very good too. Service friendly and helpful. Can't fault it.

Our server, Ibanez was so lovely. She was giving us recommendations and was so caring. She had no issue when we had to take the service charge off (unfortunately we are broke student who can’t afford) and I wanted to give her a shoutout as she really went above and beyond. My only concern is that I feel the portion sozes are quite small for the pice, you have to order a few plates for a substantial meal which adds up. Overall brilliant experience.

This was my first trip into a wahaca and I was NOT disappointed. The staff here were so brilliant and helpful! I had a blackberry sour mocktail and it was so good, I'd recommend this massively! Alongside the veggie nachos which were presented so beautifully. The decor inside makes me so happy, the toilets are accessible via lift as well as stairs which is really great! And honestly the toilet sinks were so pretty (stone).
