It's chilli season! 🌶️

Some of you may already know that we like to gift chilli seeds to our guests as a small parting gift. And we absolutely LOVE seeing how they are getting on and seeing the literal fruits of your labour.

We're so proud of these growers - look how big these plants have got!

Check out to see how our green-fingered friends are getting on with theirs 💚

Come and pay us a visit at the Mexican Craft Market in Waterloo 🤩
12th - 14th September

Summer may be over, but you wouldn't know it judging by our September What's On guide. Waterloo is brimming with feel-good activities to banish end-of-summer blues...

🇲🇽 Mexican Craft Market | 12-14 September
Spice up your week with a three-day Mexican Craft Market at Emma Cons Gardens. In partnership with Wahaca and MexiBrit, we're celebrating Mexican Independence Day early, bringing artisanal craft, jewellery and food to the heart of Waterloo. Cue the Mariachi band.

🪷 Wellbeing Day | 19 September
Soothe your body and mind with a little self care at Emma Cons Gardens. There'll be Tai Chi, urban watercolours, yoga breathwork and much more, so don't forget to swing by for your dose of utter bliss.

☀️ End of Summer Party | 20 September
As Circe's Rooftop get ready for a seasonal glow-up, they're holding a last hurrah to summer – and it's going to be epic. Book your spot for a free drink, a mega DJ lineup, and a sneak peek of what's to come.

💀 The Lambeth Fringe | 23, 25, 26 & 27 September
If you're looking for a night at the theatre that hits a little different, Calder bookshop theatre may have just the thing with their upcoming Lambeth Fringe performances. 'One Man Poe' and 'The Co**se in the Room' are two unique productions celebrating the (underrated) genres of gothic horror and medieval dream literature. Book now on their website.

🪡 Sip and Sew | 24 September
Crafting + cocktails = our kind of night, which is why we're hyped for this Sip & Sew workshop at Tonight Josephine Waterloo. It's two hours of sipping, sewing, and soaking up the vibes. Head to their Eventbrite to secure your ticket.

📸 Storyteller | Until 29 September
Described by the Evening Standard as "The most important exhibition you’ll see all year", Tim Hetherington's photojournalism show at Imperial War Museum London comes to a close at the end of the month. Marvel at this intimate and unconventional look at the human experience of conflict before it's gone.

Crispy fried buttermilk chicken tacos with pink pickled onions and spiced mayo. What a combo!

Fun fact: we use regenerative flour in all our batter and desserts.

We're committed to supporting sustainable practices that work with nature, not against it, and earlier this year we were named the most sustainable restaurant group in the UK by magazine.

We’ll raise a margarita to that! 🌿

Guess what these ingredients are used for?

Clue: you might want one later!!

Isn't she a beauty? 😍

Our newest restaurant based in Paddington in all her evening glory.

When we designed this spot, we dove deep into the heart of Oaxaca, celebrating the craft and raw materials that make the Mexican culinary capital so special.

Sip at our bar under a canopy of dried flowers, cosy up in our treehouse-inspired pods, or gather around our long tables with hand-crafted touches.

Here’s to Wahaca Paddington and to Wahaca, reimagined. 🌟

Our legendary taquito packs a CRUNCH and perfectly compliments its soft, smooth centre. A roasted veggie and sweet potato filling is tucked into a crispy blue corn tortilla, topped with smoky chipotle mayo and salty crumbled feta, and served on a bed of freshly shredded lettuce. WOAH!
