Wahaca South Bank Experiment in Lambeth

Went for dinner post show food did take a while to come out but was good

Staff were super friendly, the cocktails and food were delicious. Had such a nice time, would recommend

Served by Dinash.M and it was a superb experience. Food was delicious, very child friendly and a beautiful view of the Thames

Food not great , coffee cold , plates chopped and glasses dirty. The server Paula R was great

Paula R was a great server. Thank you.

They forgot about us, they sat us outside, the host forgot to give us menus, when I finally asked the waiter for some menus he turned around saying to go and get them from the host inside. Pretty poor service.

We (party of 4) booked for pre theatre dinner, and were very happy with the experience. Food was excellent, and reasonably priced. Shared Nachos to start followed by numerous small plates which provided a really varied meal, with some excellent flavours.

Good service great location, drinks not too bad, food is a great disappointment

Beef gringa tacos are to die for! I come Here regularly but this time around I wanted to shout out about their beef tacos. So yummy!

very friendly staff, indeed und very good food. A very pleasant experience, indeed.

We've been here a number of times and food is always amazing. We've not had a bad choice yet.

Beef gringa taco was awesome. David is a great host

Great food and excellent service on a nice 🌞 day, what more one could ask for.

We came to eat at Wahaca Southbank and received excellent service from Paula and Marilyn. From the very beginning, they were very attentive and concerned about our cumin intolerance/allergy, clearly informing us that all the meats in the burritos contained this ingredient. We are very grateful for their professionalism, kindness, and the care with which they handled the situation. We felt very well looked after. As a suggestion, it would be ideal if you could consider including a cumin-free meat option so that people with this intolerance or allergy can also enjoy more variety on the menu. Thanks again to Paula and Marilyn for their dedication!

Had a beef burrito that was a little over priced but totally delicious. It got me through the whole evening out in London

Went for the taster menu. Nice vibes and a good cocktail to boot, but the food was alright. Fight for a sunny spot.

Loved our meal, good was amazing, had a table with a view over the Thames, staff were lovely.

Had such a great time at Wahaca Southbank. The setting is really fun and vibrant, especially with the riverside location — perfect for a relaxed meal or drinks with friends. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was packed with flavour. The tacos and sweet potato were standouts, and the margaritas were excellent too. There’s a great mix of options for sharing, and plenty of veggie choices as well. A fun, easy spot with consistently good food and a great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

The atmosphere is rather noisy, the service is friendly, but we are practically imposed a 12.5% ​​service charge even though the prices are already quite high. As for the meal, it was very good, but expect to pay 25 pounds per person, without dessert or starter.

Lovely meal. We shared the favourites platter (two between four) and it was plenty of volume!

Great terrace....lovely pre matinee lunch venue. Food excellent and service attentive

We had the taster menu about 7 dishes, all very nice, even the beetroot. I say this because I think it is devil 😈 food but Wahaca made it enjoyable

Great service - went above and beyond. Delicious food.

food great! Vibe great! Service great! Loved the pork tacos and the raspberry margaritas are to die for.

Great food, amazing service, but it is a bit dirty. Could do with a proper clean. The amount of rubbish on the floor is not a vibe for any eatery.

We were served by Paola! Thank you for making us feel welcome ! The food was great

Paula was so lovely. I recommend the restaurant for its location and good ambiance

1. Not enough staff 2. My drink didn't come 3. They assume you're going to pay the service charge. 4. Male toilets were mostly out of order - only one cubicle for an entire very busy restaurant.

Lovely food and Alex A was a brilliant waiter and an enjoyable experience this is

They always provide amazing food

I love Wahaca anyway, and really enjoyed this branch. The space is great, quirky with great views on the river. Tables are nicely spaced so it’s quieter than some places. Food and drinks excellent, nothing not to like

Great service, friendly staff, yummy food 😋. Laura was especially attentive as our server.

Great food, good ambience, and attentive staff.

Food was fantastic very reasonable price. Cracking view of the Thames. Really nice drinks menu. Friendly attentive staff. Will definitely come again thank you

Went out for my friends birthday and received excellent service from Sahbi. Will definitely be going back

Momo K at south bank gave amazing service

Sahbi was the best server - lovely scenery and excellent food. Great value, couldn’t recommend more!

Great food, momo was a great server, truly the goat. Lovely vibe

Excellent Mexican restaurant in London. We tried it as a couple for dinner a few weeks ago. They offer a route at a very honest price of £25 each, which includes the best dishes on their menu. Very nice for sharing and tasting different dishes. The cocktails are also very good. Fast and very courteous service. Absolutely recommended

Food was alright, could be better and more fresh. The service was good and the atmosphere was great

Have always ordered both choco and ducle le chece sauce with churros and they do not charge and on this occasion they did without advising it would be chargeable. A shame as got unexpected bill at the end. Other than that loved food and venue

One of the worst places in London in terms of service. Selection of Mexican food is sufficient, but arm yourself with plenty of patience if you decide to visit. Also, watch out for their beer menu that doesn’t specify the amount you are paying for (it lists can price only, not draft).

Vibrant setting with great fresh tasting food and awesome Margaritas. Sabhi our waiter was excellent. Enjoyed the beetroot tostades...but where is the Ancho mushroom tacos....bring it back!

Lovely food, great service from Ruben!

I've been here many times and it's the best casual Mexican food you can get in London. The food is good and comes very quickly but getting a hold of the server can be tough, especially if you're sitting outside.

The food was excellent and the service (Carlota, Sabi) were exceptionally friendly, highly recommended :)

The place is very nice and the location is panoramic over the Thames. The food was excellent, also thanks to the precious advice of the waiter Sahbi we tasted many dishes that suited the palates of each diner. The other waitress was also very friendly and helpful. The quality-price ratio is right.

My waiter was Sahbi, he was very professional and very friendly with my kids. I would definitely recommend this restaurant the food was amazing and is well located.

absolutely lovely experience at wahaca! our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and even offered to take photos of my husband and i. paula also had some great recommendations as we’re both vegan. it’s SO easy to find vegan options here 🖤

We had Paula as our waitress and she was amazing. Food was awesome too!

Rueben was super helpful and lovely going through the menu and giving outstanding service!!!

We had good food and a highlight was that our waiter spoke German. The decor there was also very comfortable. Our waiter was Sahbi B and, as already mentioned, he spoke a little German so it was a little easier for us to order because he explained to us what it was. It was also great that there was a dedicated gluten-free menu and the food from this menu was also very good.

Lovely food, managed to sit outside on a glorious sunny day. Waiters were very attentive and keen to ensure all food intolerances were catered for

so nice!!! Sahbi was an amazing waiter :)))

Shahbi was a wonderful waiter. Food was great.

Great food and atmosphere. Our waiter Sahbi was the best!

A lovely meal soooo much food & all of it delicious. We had the favourites sharing menu as neither of us have eaten Mexican before so weren't sure what we liked. We discovered we liked Mexican 😄 Every dish was freshly prepared & really delicious. The staff were friendly & helpful & the views over the Thames were beautiful, they have us an amazing table.

Top scran , friendly service , lovely music staffing and scenery

Great place! Nice food and drinks

When my husband said we were going to Wahaca before the theatre I couldn't believe it. We never do chains, even small ones like this. I nearly refused, and I am so glad I didn't. It's a pleasant, informal space. We were first seated next to a very large noisy party, and the host very kindly moved us upstairs to a quiet table with a view of the river. The service in general was very polite and efficient. The food was delicious and a great value. The pork pibil tacos were so delicious: they gave us a little recipe card and we made them at home. Ours were tasty but not as good as theirs. Scrumptious guacamole, fish tacos, bean and cheese quesadillas. Good tequila menu with very reasonable prices. We lived in Texas for several years, and this food compares well.

Good view, good spicy tacos and perfect service! Sweet potato bravos were unreal

Food was great service was patchy and has to wait long periods to see our server

We had a wonderful evening thanks to our very energetic and dynamic waitress - Paula! She really went above and beyond to accomodation my youngest's requests.

Great food and Top Notch service by Momo. Thank you.

We ordered the feasting menu for two and non-alcoholic drinks. Food amazing, drinks great and the best of all was the service. My friend and I were served by Carlota. She’s super nice and sweet, brought us everything in time and helped us packed the leftovers. She definitely made it a fantastic experience!

Espantoso servicio, sin atención al detalle, pedidos de comida mal, mezclados o totalmente olvidados. No hay comunicación, sólo gofre. Los lados vinieron antes que la red, la red nunca ordenó llegar, algunos principales llegaron al final si la comida, la comida fría, las bebidas calientes frías, luego como recompensa solo ofreció un helado o un café para compensarlo, luego agregaron cargo por servicio. No hay rendición de cuentas en absoluto, sólo gofre.

everything was amazing! especially the churros with chocolate sauce!

Really loved the food and drinks. There was a mishap with our order and they could not have been nicer about it and went over and beyond to make up for it.

Excellent food and great service from Klaudia!

Great food and excellent service from Claudia!

Food was just like being back in the best parts of Mexico. So fresh! Service was sublime from Klaudia too, I’ll be back soon!

Overall nice place to drink something with friends or on your own if its nice weather sunset its the best

Good range of options both for vegetarians and non-veg. The food was pretty average—not as tasty as it used to be, which was a bit disappointing. The restaurant was quite loud, with lots of people crammed into a small space, making it hard to have a conversation. On the plus side, the staff were generally friendly and did their best to accommodate everyone. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible experience, but it wasn’t as good as it used to be either.

Friendly staff and accommodating staff (big shout to Dayana) and the food was delicious!

food is ok, butter chicken is good, margs are great. Service is mix’ed. Nice in the summer to sit outside. Can get busy.

Excellent food. Great service by Bruno. She was so quick. Very polite and friendly. Easy to communicate with. Love to go back again and enjoy the delicious food.

Extremely busy. Food is good but the atmosphere is a bit to manic for those with kids

Kids make their own food. The idea of serving kids with food plate that they can sample them self is really great. That was very good surprise then normal blunt served complete meal.

Went today in southbank and Alex was amazing! He really helped us feel confident when one of the guests had allergies and was incredibly friendly :) 10/10 would recommend

Delish food with a ton of vegetarian options. We got the "Discover Meal For 2" and it was way more than enough for the both of us. It let's you try many of their options. Definitely try the sweet potato and feta taquitos! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to London.

Such quick service and very good with allergies. Johan was a fabulous waiter as was the lady supervisor sorry I can't recall her name. I think some of the other waiting team could do with considering how loud they are and how it may impact others. At one point one was loudly sharing about how to heal back pain and showing how to do it on the wall. Fair enough but be quieter next time! Didn't last long thankfully! Love eating at Wahacas and always a great pre theatre spot..

Had at Wahaca on the south Bank. Our Waiter Johan was fantastic and made it a memorable experience ❤️

perfect dinner! we loved the location, the atmosphere inside the restaurant and the staff. the food was amazing too. i got the wahaca for one that gives you the opportunity to try more things at once

Every dish was lovely drinks were great good choices of non alcohol drinks, brilliant atmosphere and great staff and good for kids too

¡Decepcionado! ¡Decepcionado! ¿Por dónde empiezo? Aparecimos, nos unimos a la lista de espera. Cuando llegué podría haber reservado en mesa abierta para una mesa en quince minutos, pero le dije que no haga esto, se terminó esperando 45 minutos. Entonces nos dijeron que el desierto será gratuito, pero nos dieron uno para compartir! Además de que la comida era promedio y terminamos estando allí casi 3 horas. Nunca hubiera esperado esto.

Amazing food and service. Nice atmosphere. All the food was to die for. So good forgot to take photos. Momo K was the best server too will definitely be back.

Food was very good value. Super fresh, and vibrant flavours. Service was fast and efficient. The place was pretty noisy and cafeteria like. But I think it suits the style of the restaurant and the speedy service. I really didn't know what to order, so went for the set menu for two. So I got a got cross section of what's on offer.

Very friendly and polkte staff =) The food was very flavoursome, we chose the veggie options, total yums!

Took 30 minutes to take my allergen order after taking my partners order 30 minutes earlier so we ate separately. Chased the waiter multiple times but the management didn’t seem to care. When the manager finally came to take my order she gave no apology and was almost confrontational that we were upset. She gave us free chips and £3 drinks but just felt like a reactive reply rather than actually understanding our frustration. Terrible all around and not at all what I’ve experienced at other wahaca’s

Nice place with good food and good service!

We love coming to Wahaca Southbank. Special shout-out to Ruben. He made our day truly special. Thank you Ruben.

I’ve been to Wahaca many times to many of their locations, but coming to the Southbank one is always a pleasure. The chicken and avocado tacos are always a classic for me, and trying the battered fish ones was great. The sourness of the lime really complemented the fish. Our server was Momo and he was really helpful while ordering and very kind. Will be coming back again.

Momo was an excellent server, he was quick and so helpful! Funny and helpful

We had a lovely time at Wahaca! Momo was the best waiter and we enjoyed every interaction with him, super attentive and great fun

Momo was an excellent waiter and made it a great night!

Server was fantastic and made the whole experience, food was very good although comes out when it's ready. For a nibble style meal to be expected. Quality was exceptional, one dish I expected to be hot however was stone cold. This was a little disappointing however flavours were on point. On the whole a great restaurant and good if you don't want to be on the main drag near the London eye which can be a little overwhelming.

We liked the burritos especially the beef one. Guacamole was fresh and spot on! I just hoped they would offer more tortilla chips but overall, the food quality was close to perfect. The one in the counter, server, and the manager on duty were all kind and asks us regularly about the food. Pure customer service!

Great to find a table prior to a concert Really friendly staff and very attentive Food was good Unrushed service

Lovely spot, I would recommend taking someone here for a lovely night and a few drinks
