[Photo, Food] Lunch at wahaca

I wandered around Canary Wharf last Saturday taking architecture photos and randomly came across a branch of wahaca, a small chain of restaurants serving Mexican "street food". You can either choose between several smaller dishes, a bit like tapas or bigger plates for one meal.
It's very tasty, quite spicy and nicely presented, too.

very pretty. I was confused for a while by the spelling: correct in English is Oaxaca (same approximate pronunciation). Plus I thought for a bit that they were referring to huitlacoche.

It's spelt that way so we don't mispronounce it. And the food is very good. The chef won Masterchef a few years back and spent the prize money going round Mexico learning their cooking. Almost all the ingredients are sourced in the UK, it's fresh and delicious. Nom.
