wahaca makes a fair stab without going down the 'traditional authentic age old secret recipe handed down' route. Also central locations, and good prices. Unfair to compare to wagamamas though- you're not being ushered out the door before you've even sat down.

Mestizo looks like it might be worth a journey to Hampstead though.

I like Wahaca but it depends what you're after.

If you want a good burrito or tacos, then either [url= http://www.benitos-hat.com/ ]Benitos Hat[/url] on Goodge Street, or [url= http://www.chilango.co.uk/ ]Chilango[/url] on Upper St or Fleet St.

it's not in Hampstead, that's just the name of the road. It's between Euston and Mornington Crescent/Camden. Just for info like...

I would have to go with your wife the Mexican food in London is pathetic and have never found a good example. I spend about 6-7 weeks a year in the states and generally try to get as much Mexican down me as I will not bother try in the UK anymore. That aside our Chinese is far better.
