About this restaurant

  • Healthy
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
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.

Our newest restaurant is just outside Paddington railway station. It's a great spot for a quick bite before catching a train, relaxing after a day of exploring nearby Little Venice and Regent's Canal or taking in London’s sights.

    Super convenient for the station and area surrounding Paddington. It’s a light and spacious restaurant with a great selection of tasty Mexican inspired food. Friendly service that felt a bit stretched as the restaurant filled up.

    We had an excellent experience here. As my daughter has coeliac disease attention to detail is important. There was a separate gluten free menu. When we ordered items we were asked if there would be sharing so that appropriate corn chips would be provided. Interestingly, the manager took the gluten free order and confirmed the details for each element. We were told that if an item came without the red allergen flag it should not be eaten and the manager should be called.

    Fantastic visit. Great food (we did the favourites menu so tried a bit of everything), ambience and value for money. The waitress (didn’t catch her name but had braces) was really nice and let us swap the beef dish for fish even though they don’t usually do swaps (we don’t eat beef due to religion). Was a little slow towards the end but they were really lovely and took a coffee off because of the wait. Would definitely come back. Thank you.

    Great service at the table from Rebecca, all other waiting staff we encountered were polite, friendly and helpful and the food of course was absolutely delicious. Would definitely visit again when next in Paddington.

    Fresh tasty modern Mexican food - no gloop or layers of fast food cheese etc. Excellent burritos - lean pulled beef one v good. Desert light tiramisu worked well with well matched coffee sauce
    Wahaca PaddingtonResponded on 5 May 2025
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our modern take on Mexican food—especially the pulled beef burrito and the tiramisu. We put a lot of care into keeping things fresh, flavorful, and far from the usual fast-food fare. Hope to see you again soon!
