Wahaca

If you're looking for good food, good service and a great atmosphere that is easily accessible, then Wahaca is for you. The range and quality of the food is extremely good, which they change every couple of months and is a great excuse I use to come back often.
There are main dishes to have to yourself or there are "tapas" style dishes that you can share to suit whatever mood you're in. Unless you're extremely fussy it's safe to say you can order anything on the menu and won't be disappointed. Another bonus is that even if you order a lot, each dish isn't extortionately priced (which is the case elsewhere in London) so when the bill comes it's just the chilli making you sweat.

It's success and popularity is it's undoing in some respects however, as you can't book a table and if you come at the wrong time the queues can last over an hour. Thankfully there is a large enough bar to wait at and with good company the wait passes by in a flash and is very much worth it (try to come before 6pm or after 9pm for better waiting times).

Overall I'd say this is the best Mexican I've found in London so far, though I'm open to recommendations...
