A review of Wahaca, City Centre

May 29, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood 9 Comments

'You are enough", reminds mental health activist Coco
This pop-up at @bullfinchedin with @guisados_leith looks like a good thing to know about!
Oh yeah! @donguero.taqueria has a ROBUST selection of hot sauces!
This water run-off pipe clears the building but gives pedestrians a bit of a challenge. Not uncommon in Edinburgh.
Aaand a pleasant way to end #sugarsunday with the help of @iceangels_edin
Red eyes and dark humour! I approve.
