We enjoyed a wonderful family meal at @wahaca , celebrating Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) The restaurant truly embraced the spirit of the occasion, creating a festive and warm atmosphere. With a table of ten spanning all ages (including some picky eaters!), everyone left satisfied—making this a fantastic spot for groups of all kinds

I always feel comfortable bringing the kids here, as they offer both a family-friendly menu and activities that keep young diners entertained. We tried several new dishes crafted especially for the celebrations, including the Mexico City Nachos with Trealy Farm chorizo, black beans, crema, guacamole, pink pickled onions, cheese sauce, fresh tomato salsa, and jalapeños. It was a fantastic sharing dish, packed with flavour and enjoyed by all

The Beet Tartare with Riverford Organic beetroot, salsa macha, fresh horseradish, and avocado cream was a creative vegan take on the classic beef tartare. While I admired the innovation, I found the horseradish a bit strong for my taste. The special cocktail for the evening, a Chocolate OrangeMargarita, offered a unique twist reminiscent of an espresso martini—a perfect treat to pair with dessert (although I mistakenly ordered it before our meal). These specials are available for a limited time only so make sure to go and check them out!

We also ordered the pulled pork burrito, a substantial dish with rich flavours. For those who prefer larger portions over small plates, Wahaca offers an excellent variety of main dishes, catering to all dining styles

I’ve always loved Wahaca for its commitment to sustainability, locally sourced ingredients, and family-friendly environment. Their annual celebration of Día de los Muertos—the largest holiday in the Mexican calendar—adds a meaningful, spiritual dimension to the experience, honoring life, gratitude, and remembrance

Thank you Wahaca for the discount code towards our meal- partially gifted

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
