About this restaurant

Lively
Vegetarian-friendly
Good for groups

Vibrant, Mexican small plates, made with over 200 ingredients, everyday by talented chefs. Cocktails freshly shaken to order, from iconic margaritas, made with 100% blue agave tequila, to mezcalitas and beautifully crafted non-alc cocktails. A taste of authentic Mexican flavours from Oaxaca to Wahaca. With a relaxed, laid-back vibe, where everyone’s welcome, any time of day.

Cooking with fresh, local, ingredients, with a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, Wahaca has been consistently recognised as a leading sustainable restaurant.

The original Wahaca, in the heart of London's iconic Covent Garden, just moments from the central market and nearby theatres. A great spot whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, enjoying a pre-theatre meal, or a night of tacos and margaritas.

Food is always great. If you are a party of 3 book a table for 4 otherwise you are squashed onto a table for two. Order your starters first only if you'd like them before your mains as otherwise they all arrive together.

Our server Asia was extremely friendly and helpful with allergy advice and explaining the menu. Service was quick and efficient the whole night and the food came within 10 minutes of ordering. Every dish we had was so fresh and flavourful it was a delightful experience.
