Located in a bright basement at the junction of Waterloo Road and The Cut, Wahaca brings fresh, vibrant Mexican small plates and tequila cocktails into a lively, casual space opposite the Old Vic and a short walk from Waterloo Station
Its decor—exposed brick, colourful murals, and generous lighting—sets an energized tone suitable for pre-theatre dinners or laid-back evenings out. The menu leans into authentic Mexican street food, from tacos and burritos to quesadillas, tortillas, Sonoran-style hummus, and several vegan and gluten-free options, comfortably priced under £25
Drinks are a highlight too, with classic margaritas, mezcalitas, non-alcoholic creations, and rotating specials based on seasonal ingredients
