WAHACA Mexican Kitchen was amazing. The service was outstanding, the food was outstanding, and everyone was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean, and the atmosphere was festive and bright. I'm glad we found this restaurant, we will be back!!!
One word Fantastic!! Tried this place for first time and was blown away! We ordered the Fajita Nachos and Chicken Fajitas and they were wonderful. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Our waitress Vanessa was extremely friendly and helpful. The manager went above and beyond surprising us with a free dessert which was a fried pastry and whipped cream. The inside of restaurant was very clean and decorated with multiple pleasing colors. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended!!
First time eating here, and it won't be the last! Everything is AUTHENTIC! They made the guacamole in front of us and gave us a little simple dessert topper at the end. Horchata was so good. EVERYTHING was so tasty!
