Wahaca - Southbank

Wahaca have an honest approach to their food and a shared love of eating it, offering a true Mexican meal experience and delivering amazing cuisine that truly shows off the incredible vibrancy and freshness of real Mexican food. The menu is continually evolving as the Wahaca team constantly looks to the markets of Mexico for inspiration in order to recreating their wonderful food over here. They have worked hard to match the flavours of Mexico with ingredients that we can get hold of in the UK to create a constantly evolving, seasonal menu with ingredients sourced as locally as possibly, or grown and transported with care for the environment. Freshly made guacamole with lime juice, coriander and ripe Hass avocados; slow-cooked, long-marinated outdoor reared pork topped with a red onion relish bright with citrus juices and habanero chillies; grilled, sustainably-caught fish with melting onion, fresh lime and pumpkin seed sauce; seasonal vegetables with zingy salsas – these are just some of the recipes lovingly prepared and served with soft, corn tortillas made down the road in North West London. Wahaca tries to balance healthy eating with hearty eating. As in Mexico, their gluten-free corn tortillas are full of essential minerals, the black beans are full of complex carbohydrates and protein and the salsas are packed with all the vitamins that chillies and fresh fruit naturally bring you. Where buying from Mexico they constantly try to source direct from cooperatives which support local farming communities. Tequilas and mescals are sourced from small family-run businesses that make the best product.
