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.

    Friendly staff, very professional and full of smiles. For such a bust place the service was very personal, we didn't feel rushed to order/eat or leave. Thank you

    As vegetarians, it’s great to have a choice of dishes that are not seen as a concession. A creative use of ingredients and beautifully presented. Attentive but not irritating service. Lovely evening.

    Food and service very good. Music too much for a relaxing atmosphere. Toilets nasty smell and could do with a deep clean.

    Great service especially due to how busy the place was. The staff worked really hard to get all the food out and service was really good. Food was good but felt menu was limited in choice than I remember from last time

    Great experience the food was great, the service was friendly and efficient, and the speed of service was just right. Also very close to theatres (we went to the Duchess theatre that was literally 2 minutes walk)

    We often eat at Wahaca Southbank, this was our first visit to the Covent Garden site. The service was impeccable, I have many food intolerances and I was catered for splendidly. My regular dish, the vegan Rainbow Bowl has been taken off the menu, but, with a couple of modifications, the new Sunshine Bowl was a delicious alternative. I would highly recommend the CG restaurant, it was quite busy and a little noisy, but this is the case at all the Wahacas I have visited, as the food and service are so good, they are very popular.
