Wahaca Shoreditch in Hackney

Late Review!! Sorry!! Went here for my birthday with friends after our original plans had to be changed, and they were incredibly accommodating for a large group last minute on a Saturday!! Thank you to the staff who made it possible to celebrate 🩷

Great spot with great food and drinks and a great server; Santiago!

Beautiful interior, super friendly service, reasonable prices, and a true culinary experience! We recommend the tasting menu for two people; it's absolutely fantastic!

The tacos and quesadillas are awesome legend joao service I swear service changes the mood and mood All options were heroic and worthy What is terrible about the restaurant is that it serves food very quickly

Very good food. We enjoyed it very much and it was the perfect balance to fries and other dishes.

Great staff, atmosphere and food. Will visit again

The food was delicious . The service also. Santiago G was very polite. Atmosphere good.

João gave excellent service with a smile

Lovely restaurant. The discovery Menu was amazing and great value for money. João took great care of us and thanks to him we had a blast. Great restaurants for every occasion.

Very good food, amazing service. Tash has been great, will 100% come back!

Delicious food and great atmosphere. We had a lovely time. And a Shoutout to Joao for his impeccable service.

I had a wonderful experience at Wahaca! The food, Portuguese wine, and the atmosphere were delightful. A huge thank you to our lovely waiter, Joao, who was always attentive and checked on us regularly.

Toby is excellent, food was great as always

The food was delicious and Tash was super helpful and friendly.

We had a great lunch at Wahaca. All the food was delicious - we had a selection of vegan small plates to share and then the churros and vegan ice-cream for dessert. Our waiter, Tash, was wonderful. The perfect balance of friendly, attentive, helpful, without being too full on. I'd definitely come back here.

Tash was our waitress and was natural & friendly, the food was all great & we had a lovely experience from the moment we walked in.

Good food, great restaurant but let me tell you something, my waiter was the best one! Super attentive, friendly and fun… Had a good time at Wahca Shoreditch

Great place for a team lunch! A lot to choose from, with vegetarian and vegan options as well! My chicken quesadilla was divine 🤩

Lovely place, good service. Nicole was efficient, polite and attentive.

Toby was great and the food was delicious! (More atmospheric lighting would be great!)

It was such a lovely and friendly atmosphere with a sensational soul food experience.

Get the guacamole… better yet, get two and don’t feel guilty about it. Good eats, great staff Visiting from Canada, but when we come back, we’ll be back to Wahaca Shoreditch

Amazing place and food. We had João as our waiter and he was so caring and did amazing recommendations. Great service!

Joao is spectacular! He recommended great food and treated us with care and love. I will come back for more.

Amazing, the vibe, the people, it felt like home and the food OMG. They are so sweet and happy here 10/10 recommend :)

Everything was absolutely fantastic, and the staff create a wonderful atmosphere 🤩

Delicious food, amazing service. João is a superstar.

João was a fantastic host. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Highly recommend wahaca. They have an extended gluten free menu and talked my wife through all the options. Staff was super friendly and attentive. My regular meal was excellent as well. I would definitely recommend to anyone, gluten free or not. Drinks were great as well.

Had the best meal here!! Service was quick and very accommodating - definitely recommend!

Was a great experience with delicious food. Joao served our table and was very professional

Stephanie was amazing! Food as always, was on point! Highly recommend the chef’s speciality - pork belly

João was brilliant, food was excellent, just the right quantity.

Stephanie was amazing and so was the pork belly and ALL the food & cocktails

Love the place and Toby is amazing!

Great atmosphere and the fantastic service by Toby top off the experience!

Good food, very tasty, friendly service and nice atmosphere ! Great choice for a small and a big hunger.

Great service as always. Shout out to the team and Santiago! . The organic squash and beef croquetas were a stand out. Definitely will come back!!!

A massive thank you to Tash! She was extremely friendly, had great recommendations and overall made the whole experience memorable

Lovely experience on valentines. Tash was very friendly and polite. Always love getting the discovery sets to share! Full of flavour

The food was amazing! The sweet potatoes Taquito was very nice! Tash’s service made our experience very enjoyable!

I had the most amazing meal there Wacaha for 1 vegetarian option with sweet potato taquito, plantain taco, and ancho mushroom taco. The taquito and mushroom taco were one of the best things I’ve eaten. I also appreciate the environmental leadership of this restaurant identifying to customers the carbon footprint of the meals.

Tash is amazingly attentive & welcoming, and the food was incredible, love this place, doesn’t taste at all like it a chain, buttermilk tacos are insane.

Love eating here the food is always so good

Lovely quick lunch. Great food. Tash was very warm and welcoming, and completed the experience. Definitely try a 'Sir Veza'!

Tash gave us really great service. She was friendly, warm and looked after us well.

Tash was so lovely and Informative

Great food and great service Santiago, thank you! Can definitely recommend.

My favourite mexican - each time visiting London, we end up here for tacos, quesadillas and margaritas!

Incredible food, service by Juan and co

Food was super tasty and filling. The atmosphere was clean and friendly. I had an enjoyable, relaxed evening dinner with Wahaca. Thank you.

Service was fantastic, thankyou Tasha! food was really tasty drinks were fab, the Margherita in here was sooooo good

This is a great spot for Mexican food! Tash, our server, was fantastic—friendly and attentive from start to finish. I tried a chicken burrito for the first time, and it was delicious. If you're near Old Street in London, it's definitely worth a visit!

Another lovely visit with great food and delightful service.

Ancho Mushroom burrito was yummmm!! But the hot sauce bip was too hot for me.

Amazing place, amazing Vibes. The staff were on top of their service and were very kind. Tash looked after our table and she was very helpful. She also made some recommendations for us which were worth it. I would recommend to share the Nachos for the table, Ancho Mushroom Burrito and the Halloumi Tacos.

Great food and great service. Thank you! Joao, you’re fabulous ❤️

Nicely laid out tables, and the service is good. Staff are friendly and on point. This is a more laid-back branch of Wahaca.

Has a great lunch. Stephanie F was a great waitress and my son really enjoyed the fish tacos. Kids meal is great value!

Amazing service, thank you guys 😊

Had a lovely evening with amazing food, Stephanie was very helpful and quick with everything!❤️

Absolutely loved the food. Was also extremely impressed with the approach to allergens during visit with my 3 year old who has an allergy to peanuts and sesame

The friendliest and most attentive staff! And yummy food too :):) thanks!

Hyggeligt sted med dejlig mad. Der blev serveret en række små retter til deling mellem 4 personer. Godt til prisen. Anbefalingsværdigt.

I am a content creator from Southampton coming to do a photo shoot, this food was amazing would definitely recommend, tasted fresh and delicious! Thank you to our servers who were so kind unfortunately we didn’t get there names. BEST MEXICAN IVE EVER EATEN!

Great food Lovely I didn’t catch my servers name but he was so lovely and attentive deffo will be back.

beaucoup de choix, les plats sont plutôt bons et les serveurs gentils ! je conseille (ils ont une liste des plats, avec tous les aliments sujets à allergie, très utile !)

Friendly staff, food is amazing , and the atmosphere is great! Will definitely come back

Amazing service by Joao! Thank you so much!

We had a dinner here after our check in at the hotel after a flight from Sweden. Such a warm welcome by all in the staff. We also saw the staff giving great and warm service to all of the other guests, truly genuine. We had a vegan nacho plate which was divine and then a mix of tacos and quesadillas. Gf enjoyed the beef gringa the best and except for the great nacho plate I really enjoyed the vegan mushroom taco. Margaritas was also great, especially the spicy one

Amazing food, great service from Toby! Will be definitely back

Service was on point , friendly professional and swift service of yummy food and drinks

Yo y mis 40 colegas nos proporcionaron la sección completa de la planta baja, que apreciamos ya que estaba lejos de todos los demás, así que no necesitábamos sentirnos conscientes de hacer ruido, del mismo modo, pudimos escucharnos y apreciamos la privacidad. El personal era muy amable y era muy tentativo en términos de selecciones de comida y recargas de bebidas. La comida sabrosa y apreciamos el estilo de tapas de sacar un montón de platos pequeños de varios platos que nos permitió probar la mayoría de la comida en el menú preestablecido.

Excellent food, friendly service, great atmosphere. Definitely will return.

Haven’t been to Wahaca for years. Loved the rainbow bowl. Toby was a fantastic host.

Very good food and excellent service

Very nice service. Food was also very good.

had a lovely meal here, stephanie was great and would definitely visit again!

Stephanie was really lovely and had great food!

Great time!! Toby served us was very friendly and nice!!

Great food and even better service from João, always attentive, friendly and a credit to the business. Thank you so much Wahaca family!!

A perfectly fine take on Mexicsn food by London standards. They've done well to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere here, and it’s a credit to the staff. There were plenty on, all working hard to keep the large group bookings happy, all the while never neglecting the smaller tables. Points for that. The food was great for what it was. The portion sizes aren't huge. You can get bigger burritos at Mexican Take Away shops, but here, you can at least sit down and enjoy the buzzing vibes. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Amazing food, really flavourful and our server Stephanie was so sweet and attentive. We will definitely be back!

The place was cosy and the food really impressed us with the ‘Favourites’ menu, but the service was what made the whole difference. João understood what we needed and performed above our expectations. Can only recommend the place! The only way they could make it better is to have Caipiriña on the menu as well.

Loved it! Such a great amount of space in the restaurant. Didn’t feel like we were on top of other diners so could have our own conversations. Service was brilliant by Richard G

Clean, friendly staff and fresh, tasty food.

Great food and great service! Thanks Joao!

Joaõ the one and only! very friendly and fast like speedy gonzales :)

Thanks to Richard for the service and your warm welcome, you’re the best !

This is without a doubt one of the best Mexican restaurants I've tasted in London! Many thanks to Santiago for the incredible service

Excellent. My favorite spot in London.

Amazing place with super delicious food and great service. I’d recommend especially the Mushroom Burrito and the Three Citrus Fizz. Special thanks to Joao D for the great service and all the positive vibes. It’s always a pleasure to see people who sincerely care about their customers. ❤️

Joao was great server and food was delicious

First time eating here food was lovely, we were served by Joao who was very smiley and helpful. Would come again 👍

Food really flavoursome!! Especially the beef taco, and sweet potato and feta and the cauliflower!! Definitely recommend 🥰 great place for a date night. Amazing cocktails and the staff soooo lovely!! Josh served us and he was so wonderful. Thank you!!

Good food for reasonable price. Nice staff.

We had such a lovely experience and Jono was such a wonderful host to us.

Love this place and it's great value

Absolutely brilliant food, lovely staff and a very well curated atmosphere - with traditional decor! Slightly pricey but is in every way worth it.

I have to say up front, this review is biased. I have been to Wahaca restaurants in various parts of London and can say hand on heart this Mexican chain is excellent. And last night's experience here in Shoreditch (my first visit to this branch) was no exception. Fabulous food in the shape and taste of mouth-watering tacos, terrific beer - Modelo is world-fave for me (tho I prefer the Dark version over the light) - great service from Joao (thanks again Mr Brazil!) and a nice Dia de los Muertos atmosphere. Already looking fwd to my next visit to Wahaca wherever that may be!
