About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Vegetarian-friendly
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.

    This was my second visit to Wahaca Covent Garden. Cannot fault on anything. Had Andre as the waiter serving me. He was so good and advised on the best dishes. Kept coming and checking to see if everything was ok. His service was par excellence. Would recommend Wahaca Covent Garden to my family and friends. Will be going soon.

    Wahaca is always a popular choice when visiting London! The food is delicious and fresh, there is so much choice available on the menu (including specials), the service is always great and it’s really reasonably priced. Would 100% recommend Wahaca Covent Garden (or any other Wahaca restaurant) to anybody who is a fan of Mexican food!

    Lovely food and very attentive, quick service. Nice modern decor though very busy and noisy inside. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that I was accidentally given a cocktail instead of the mocktail I ordered (while pregnant) - staff took this very seriously though and the manager came to speak to me and took a lot off our final bill by way of apology which was appreciated. Overall would definitely visit again
    Wahaca Covent GardenResponded 4 days ago
    Thanks for the feedback Millie, we are glad to hear the team turned around a bad experience but once again sincerely apologise for the drinks mix up on your visit, if you do want to discuss this any further then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
