Yuuuummm!! Love it, I think that's all I can say. Love it! The pork pibil tacos, blackbean and three cheeses quesadilla and my favorite of all the sweet potato and feta taquitos. I could honestly have this everyday. Also my daughter who is almost 5, and is being going to Wahaca since she was 1, swears by the kids menu with cheese quesadilla.
Was taken by my collegues for a treat here and the moment you see this place you get great vibes by it's cool look and ambiance. The ambiance is very cool and although a bit cramped seating, it gives a great feeling and interiors are very vibrant. It's a whole Mexican fare to offer so a mix of tacos, burritos and qusadillas were ordered. The food was pretty average to good and nothing stand out actually except the dessert. Ordered the churros and they were amazing. The food looked appetising and presentable but tastewise pretty fair. Service was quite slow, it was busy and had waiting queues but took ages to get attention even after seating.

It’s hard to escape the phenomenon that is Wahaca. Well, I did a decent job of trying. Heard good and bad things. But finally, I had the chance for my own taste of their Mexican street food-style dining when my cousin was in town. Turns out Wahaca was one of her London favourites, so now was good as chance as any. And whilst Wahaca’s signature broad-strokes can be polarising, I was pleased with half of my experience. The food is mostly interesting (one major miss). Service however, was a complete shocker.
Extremely spicy food, with a terrific taste.
As a mexican food lover I planned in advance my "foodie moment" to Wahaca when I was still in Portugal, and I was far from disappointed!
We ordered two Margaritas and a menu to share that had a variety of mexican products for people who want to try a bit of everything.
In general all plates were good but the sweet potato with goat cheese was, by far, the best! Believe me, it's a MUST try if you go to Wahaca.
Definitely want to come back when I return to London!
I loved this restaurant! I decided to come here for the first time with my boyfriend, as he loves Mexican food. Firstly, the staff was super nice and helpful. The space inside the restaurant is very creative and engaging, and I loved it.
I was scared that because it was a Mexican restaurant, I wouldn't be able to find any healthy options, but I was happily surprised to find out that their salads are also super healthy and taste amazing and spicy! My boyfriend also loved the quesadillas, and overall it was a great night out.
When you’re in London, everything seems to be expensive. But this place seems to be a little more expensive. However the quality of their food made me love Mexican food. Recommended: Burritos.
Great selection of Mexican dishes. Sweet Potato Salad one of my favourites. Make sure you try their extra hot sauce! Only if you have what it takes!
Visited after our trip to London Eye to unwind in the terrible summer heat. The place is generally crowded and if you want a table with a river view, you will have to wait for an hour or so. From bar menu, we tried Corona Michelada, Pacifico Clara, Mojito, Pinot Gris Jean Bid, seasonal cocktail and finished with shots of Don Julio. Stick to Pacifico, seasonal cocktails and tequilas.
For the nibbles, we ordered guacamole with tortilla, chilli Quesadillas, pork pibil tacos, chicken Tonga tacos, huitlacoche empanadas, sweet potato and feta taquitos. And sweet tooth cravings were satisfied by churos y chocolate and coconut crumbed plantain. All the nibbles except empanadas were good and can be ordered again. Though I will suggest to order the Wahaca feast if you have time in your side.
Benji, our server was warm and friendly and though we were the noisy table on the floor, he made sure we had good time.

Sweet Mexican franchise, open-till-late with awesome burritos. The mojito was tasty but would prefer with less ice. The guacamole is the proper one. Loved the chipotle and habanero sauces.
I could safely say that wahaca initiated my love affair with Mexican food. Whilst I cannot vouch for the authenticity, wahaca managed to wow me with the flavours of Mexican food. The menu is comprehensive with choices for everyone, no matter how huge their appetite is.The tasters allow for more variety and are easy on the pocket. Service is quick and efficient. The location and the design are my favourites; housed in old shipping containers with full length windows overlooking the Thames.
Delicious food, good cocktails and a fun vibe. Service was really good.
We had the Classics Sharing Board with their new cornbread side. All of the food was great but our particular favourite was the Pork Pibil Tacos... Juicy and flavorful!
First time to a Wahaca, and I was very impressed. Service was really quick and the staff were really friendly. You order in person and then pay online.
There's a great choice on the menu, including lots of vegetarian options.
Food came really quickly and was well cooked and very tasty! Good value for money considering the location.
Super colourful atmosphere, great location and views, fun vibes!
They are pretty serious about alternative diets and allergies with abundant vegan and gluten-free options.
Food and drink were all very delicious and the staff was attentive, especially the manager’s response and handling of the situation after realising their mistake on our menu was exceptional.
Big thumbs up, would defo go there again!
Nice environment next to Thames river. Good quality is fine. Staff are friendly. But the picnic table outside is wobbly. I have sea sick problem, not suitable for me.
Mexican food with river view. The restaurant is located up a set of stairs and is on 2 floors, with many seats.
The staff was very friendly and nice, though they really want you to get some extra food/drinks. Food was ok, the only issue was that i think my burrito was premade and it was half cold and half hot, should have been warmed up a bit better.

Service was not great, but thankfully they have a QR code so you can pay and leave when done (and not wait for the server). Love the mocktails-the non alcholic margarita was nice. The pork pobil bowl was good, I would come back for it. The trio of salsas was okay, probably wouldn't order again.
They put great attention to every detail, make it super easy to make reservations and to queue virtually if you just pop in without any reservation, plus are very kind if you visit them with children. They gave us a lot of "Día de los muertos" themed activities to do with our son. We had sweet potato bravas, enchiladas and tacos and for drinks orchata and Hibiscus. Definitely a place to visit. We will come back again!
Yeah it's a chain but this shipping container version right on the southbank is great. Food was fab and the margaritas really hot the spot.
This place has such delicious food - the vegetarian options are delicious especially the halloumi tacos. The food comes very quickly - the drinks less so. Cocktails are great too with a wide selection. It is always quite busy here but the atmosphere is lively and the view is amazing! Would recommend :)
4.5/5.
The picante margarita is good! Just the right hit from chilies. Good, fresh food. Their special feta and spinach tamale, platitos with sweet potatoes, enchiladas with mole, nachos, everything was good and fresh. I really wish they had a tres leches for dessert though ;) lovely place, lovely vibe! Hope to visit again.
