About

Located in the heart of London’s Southbank, Wahaca Waterloo brings the vibrant flavors of Oaxaca to the city’s most popular theatre district. Set in a light‑filled basement at 119 Waterloo Road, the restaurant offers a relaxed, colorful atmosphere with Spanish tiles, patterned floors and a lively soundtrack of Mexican music.

With baby‑changing facilities, a wheelchair‑accessible restroom and an inclusive family‑friendly vibe, Wahaca Waterloo comfortably serves families and solo diners alike. The venue is well‑suited for groups, offering a private dining area for parties of eight or more and a festive feasting menu for Christmas celebrations from 19th November to 24th December, priced at £35 per person.
