Wahaca - Soho

My love for Mexican food runs deep.  Ever since I was taught how to make refried bean with taco shells I was wooed by the fresh ingredients, fiery salsas and adaptability.   I quickly moved on and refined the dishes by using great recipes from Elizabeth Lambert Ortiz 'The Book of Latin American Cooking' - try the hot pepper sauce, ixni-pec.

So getting the chance to dine at the excellent chain Wahaca is always a pleasure.  Freshly roasted poblano chillies with corn with sauteed crushed potatoes, herbs and an ancho pepper mayo served in a fresh corn taco... nothing better.

The corn and black bean tostados with guacamole and ancho chilli oil and a little feta cheese crumbled over it were devine.

What Thomasina Miers chain manages to do is bring fresh Mexican market food to humble old Britain.... this is the second time I have been to this Soho branch and I am always delighted.... Find in Wardour Street.
