Covent Garden

About the restaurant

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.
