About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Healthy
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.

    I live in Texas but REALLY wanted to try a Mexican restaurant while visiting the UK. I read about this place and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed AT ALL! The food and margaritas were delicious! The wait staff was friendly and the atmosphere was festive. I’ll be back🌮🍹

    Served by Lara and she was brilliant. Drinks were nice, service was spot on and although they don't serve Caipirinha's anymore, their margarita's were lovely. Plenty of space around the tables and a nice ambience, food great too.

    Overall very good experience with great drinks and food. Only a small comment that one of our group had explicitly mentioned he really didn't want any coriander on his dish, only to receive a dish with coriander. When he mentioned this to the server, the response he got was a little rude.

    Very disappointed that you’ve changed the SeaBass. It was sooo good. Now it ok. Other dishes are lovely. Our waitress was fabulous. Lara (I think). 😁

    Six of us had booked a table at Wahaca for a reunion lunch. The staff happily moved us to a larger table with no fuss. Wahaca had a great mix of diners - larger groups, families with children, couples, and a loud and cheerful bunch like us. The food is amazing - we all shared different small and large plates. I especially loved the crispy cauliflower with its lovely dip. My friends and I stayed nearly five hours, keeping our table with no issues and reordering from wonderful, attentive staff. The atmosphere was great - lots of couples around us enjoying the food and chatting. Just a wonderful time at a brilliant relaxed experience. Thank you Wahaca. We will be back. xxxx

    Had a delightful lunch. The Sunshine Bowl was extremely delicious. I would say that the portion size was on the smaller side so if you were feeling really hungry, I would order something else.
